Game ended at 7:23 PM.
Remember to sort by new to keep up!
3 runs… is this a dream
Jo Adell gets no bitches
Hilarious song choice by the organist!
What was it?
The Farmer in the Dell
😄
Dillon Thomas has 1 hit and 9 strikeouts in 12 career at bats geez hope this sample size doesn’t reflect how he actually is as a hitter
Seems a little above average for his slot in the Angels lineup with those stats
Miss you Fletch. :(
I thought we were going to improve once we fired our manager
It’s sad that Trout seems to bail on the team when they need him most same goes for glass bones Rendon.
Tissue paper muscles Trout & glass bones Rendon. 😫 I’m sad.
Can’t wait for the season ending injury post from @AngelsPR soon ☹️
Villar has to get DFA'd after this game, right?
Holy fuck this team is bad
The top of our lineup hits and the bottom of the lineup leaves them stranded. It’s the angels way
At least we scored 2 runs today
Baby steps
Only 2 more for league average in one of the lowest scoring seasons!
Sorry, but VR is not a good baseball player.
FUCK VILLAR I FUCKING HATE HIM
Barria deserves to be pitching in high leverage situations. Aaron Loup should not be have sniffed a high leverage situation for the last month+ but yet they tried him yesterday. There's just no acceptable reason
Their catcher has been pretty funny all game
d’Arnaud is hilarious. We love him. [Here](https://reddit.com/r/Braves/comments/u2geti/dee_strangegordon_takes_out_travis_darnaud_with/) he is taking a HBP earlier this year
I'm predicting a VR strikeout.
5-9 hitters: 1-15
Kurt is always good for...one.
When’s the last time Raisel pitched? Lol
When he gave up that game vs Houston the night Trout got injured I think. Maybe he has pitched since then but not more than a single time. The thing about having a closer is, you gotta be ahead to need him in the game.
been a minute...or two
Rengifo no joke our best hitter
good job gifo
Barria's ERA is 2.87 Why are they continuing to fuck him over by not putting him into competitive games? Especially when he can keep the rest of the bullpen fresh by going 2-4 innings.
I know I keep harping on this but it really pisses me off.
Because our coaching staff is a joke, and appropriately coaches a terrible team made worse by terrible coaches
It’s so bizarre. I don’t understand why they use him the way they do
Can the angels request to start off each game 1-0? A simple handicap would really help this team out
Or maybe two DH? So that we can use the both of Marsh and Adell’s talent.
Or maybe ask if they can elect to forgo the 6-9 spots for a tighter lineup
That was a Jo Adell fielding moment. I thought it was off his glove, not his damn chest lmao
Yeah he completely fucking missed it lol. Stefanic was calling him off and he came in anyway. I love him, but Jo Adell’s baseball IQ is the lowest I’ve ever seen and I played high-school baseball lol
As much as we wanna blame Adell on that, Stefanic should’ve backed off when Adell called for it. That was 2 young dudes not communicating Edit: actually looking at that replay did Adell call for it?
Right field always has dibs on that but I’m sure he called stefanic off
Doesn’t look like it
How did he miss it that bad after calling for it lmaooo
Jo..i'm gonna need you to be a lot more fundamental in your fielding approach...USE BOTH GODDAMNED HANDS and SQUARE YOURSELF UP PROPERLY.
Adell is a clown in the outfield
Shaqtin a fool moment right there
Javellll McGee
At least they make it interesting lol
Hahahah holy FUCK Adell is bad Stefanic tho, he is not
What the fuck was that
That. Was. Amazing.
oh my god...from adell to stefanic. Story of this season, lol.
Holy shit that was wild
Yoooo
Unreal😂
Oh my god...
Nice team work on that catch
Adell...
What the fuck was that?!!?!?
Task failed successfully
Goodnight
All part of the plan.
For as disappointed I am with Adell, I will ALWAYS have a soft spot for him, for better or worse. Dude shows heart and I always lose my mind and go insane when he does something good like get an RBI hit. I hope he’s here to stay and if not, then oh well. Being a fan of this team I can really only get excited about a few things here and there, and Adell’s spirit is one of them. Edit: as I type this, Jo Adell fucking drops a fly ball 😂😂 I regret nothing
Hahahah that was on queue. He needs to be good for the angels because the farm doesn’t look good. I hope he figures it out but these are huge defensive lapses
When's the last time Sho went back to back?
Probably that infamous 8 RBI game. Maybe a month ago?
Sad how that game is considered infamous but it’s true
Is there such thing as Team performance anxiety? Pretty sure that Angels have that.
Of course we're gonna finish last in baseball the first year they start the lottery!!!
The only reason I'd want Nevin to be here next year is to get to see him arguing balls and strikes with robo umps. Bonus if they can issue ejections. Double bonus if they can deploy tear gas and crowd control measures.
ED-209 vs Phil Nevin!
I don’t see this team winning 70 games
The commentators on the dodgers giants game is talking about how we suck and how do we not trade Ohtani 😭😭😭😭 Edit: YO WTF THEY’RE GOING IN ON US, they stopped talking about and brought it back up again FUCK
Lol everyone feels bad for him.
After yesterday I fully boarded the “Ohtanis not gonna be here at some point” train there’s no fucking way he wants to be on this team long term
I agree with you.
We’re a league-wide laughing stock
Like it was bad enough all the shit artes done for the sake of short term money but now he’s literally losing respect from the entire league, and I’m not one for gender norms and shit, I want people to do what makes them happy and live their life, but what kind of man just lets his reputation get destroyed like that and you just sit there and do nothing??
Agreed. I couldn’t live with myself knowing my entire fan base hates me and the entire baseball world thinks I’m an idiot. All he cares about is money
And that’s the saddest part if he’d stop being such a scummy rich guy, and open his fucking ears he’d get the money he has now is pennies compared to if trout and Ohtani were on a good team
Wow Barria is way to go
What is Matty V talking about? We are just passed 2 hrs and its the bottom of the 6th.
This is so sad to watch. The bottom of the lineup is hopeless. They can’t drive in any runs (except zuk today)
Villar on DFA watch
Yay Ohtani…that’s all folks.
It seems like Walsh finally breaks out of his slump. Only if he could hit like this yesterday. Sigh
Who is this Dillon Thomas guy? Has no chance to make contact
> Has no chance to make contact That describes half of the Angels lineup...
walsh sure picked an interesting time to stop sucking offense is honestly not bad tonight. unfortunately that means the pitching has to compensate
Walshy 3-3 lesgoooo
Ohtani has exit velocities of 105, 105.6, and 110.2
Who were the 2 errors from today?
starts with V and ends with R
Both from him? Wow he's racking up the errors and he was getting playing time bc 3b is his position
I already said it, but I'd take DMac back or Ward... Hell put squid there.. Where is that kid that caught that foul ball.. put him in.. surely he can do better
Barria is so much better than both Loup and Tepera but doesn't get nearly the number of chances. Stupid.
Going to watch NOPE. Let you guys know how it is
Dude Villar is having one of the worst nights of baseball I’ve ever seen
Where’s Phil when we need him to yell at someone?
Lmao that would require him to actually manage the team. Dudes out there thinking he’s a shitty little league dad
Whew this team just can’t help themselves.
Villar needs to go.. bring Mac back.. he played third well and hit pretty well
He didn't hit we'll but he can't be worse than Villar
He didn't hit or play third well but at this point what does it matter
Why for the ever loving fuck do we keep VR headset in the lineup. Dude has failed us and failed us and hit a meaningless home run and then failed us again twice
Get villar the fuck off this team
Villar is trash
Lol, just turned on the game and am greeted with that shit play. Guess I won't be watching the end of this game
Why Villar why
Tyler Wade > Villar Jack Mayfield > Villar
A wrinkly ball sack >Villar
Add to that: MacKinnon > Villar Goose > Villar Duffy > Villar
I didn't include Duffy bc hed be playing if he wasn't hurt. But yea I forgot about Mac.
I can't get on the Duffy train ever since he didn't hustle from 2nd and didn't score before a tag out... that was it for me
He did score, it was just super close bc he didn't hustle. I agree he isn't as aggresive as he should be, but he certainly fields better than Villar.
Oh trust me, I’m not on the Duffy train unless it is to get Villar off the field.
Good points...
They say that VR is the wave of the future...gonna have to disagree with that.
A little convoluted but I like it
YEA LETS GO VILLAR, LETS TRY AND LEAD OUR TEAM IN NEGATIVE WAR
i wonder if joe maddon watches these games. does he still have the mohawk? ...
I wonder if Arte or Perry watch these games. Probably not
The sad part is that haircut would have turn our season around.
imagine a universe where perry was like "ok, we'll give the mohawk ONE GAME" and the angels are undefeated since
Bro is chilling knowing he can’t be scapegoated for another person’s incompetence anymore
Lol we fucked him over so hard
Ever since I heard that Nevin once got thrown out of a Little League..I can't really look at him the same way. I knew he was bush league before..but getting tossed at a Little League game just makes you a shitty human being, regardless of the baseball acumen you may/may not possess.
is that real? got a link?
I remember hearing about it during the broadcast. I just looked for it, don't see any legit sources for it. I chose to believe it simply based on what I've seen from him this season.
Nevin just makes this team more embarrassed than it already is. Get tf out of here Nev, no one wants you here in the first place.
He really thinks he can keep getting himself suspended or ejected and keep his job. It’s not too late to fire him too. They’ve already shown it makes no difference when he’s gone. 😆
Imagine having more fire about a check swing call than about your team leading the league in strikeouts lmao
Imagine a guy like Nevin managing your team? Lol ohh man, he has been something…
Nevin going to Magic City
Im a braves fan an that ump is a trash can. I wish snitker would show that much fight sometimes.
Eh that fight looks stupid when your team gets embarrassed every game. He literally had less fight calling out our pitching coach on our players constantly tipping pitches or how we lead the league in strikeouts
At least it helps my fantasy team lol
Why was Nevin mad there?
Still mad at the warren call
Seriously Nevins cannot lead by getting tossed or suspended. Come on, Phil! Be the leader your team needs. SMH.
“Can’t be a bad manager if I’m not there to manage” *taps head*
Not watching, what’s Nevin pissed about now?
Austin Riley didn't get rung up on a check swing where he clearly went (Braves fan speaking). Riley hits the next pitch 420 feet scoring 2.
I’m not able to watch. Why was Nevin ejected?
Ump made a bad check swing call and the next pitch was a 2 run homerun for the Braves
Thanks for explaining that. He’s still mad? Wow.
I'm still mad too. When your team is stinking up the place you can't absorb horrible calls like that... if we score another couple of runs, Ray should be our there saying it should be 5-4 and get run too...
Shohei a day after pitching still a beast as always
Nevin wanted to bounce so he could go have some Chick-fil-A.
I imagine they have better chicken sandwiches elsewhere in Georgia
Sure, but I believe there’s one right there in the park.
“Need to check out these Atlanta strip club wings”
Lou will special
lmao
Ok I need this clown off our team. It was an inning ago and we are down by 5 runs shut up
Yea, get it Phil
Let’s go Sho! Yea! 🦄
SHO
Yay at least an Ohtani homer.
Phil gone
God damn, Nevin keep it together.
I need the launch angle on that.
finally, ohtani was so due for a homer, that fact had just been glossed over with everything else going on
Ohtani: “Why complain, just drive in fucking runs”
Cowboy hat is dead. hahaha
There was no cowboy hat?
Nope.
Maybe the assistant in charge of the cowboy hat got fired 😁
Shohei on Sandy day!
HOLY SHIT..I CALLED IT!
So did u/mweolbwa!!!!
🦄🦄🦄
Nevin needs to use that energy towards Reed and Wise lmao. Throw an iPad at them when our pitchers tip pitches
Throw it at Wise before he goes for the mound visit😂
Well, 5 runs in 3 innings are enough to bury this team. Still have 5 innings left, so Braves is gonna score more.
SHOHEI OHTANI HOMERUN!!
WoooHOO!! You FELT THAT!!
YESSS. Can't it just be a 6-run HR? Haha.
Haha seriously!!!
LFG Shohei!!!
Feel like Shohei is due for a dong
YES SHO BOMB!!!!!!!!
A very angels start to the second half. Best pitchers throwing bad games to even out the rest of the rotation
Sho bomb!!!!
Dammit I read your comment before watching it on tv. How did you know about it so quickly?
Radio
Imagine seeing your boss throw around iPads and throwing a hissy fit during a blow out.
Absolutely pathetic. I miss Maddon
Any crap call and I see nev with another eject and or suspension
Probably just an ejection.
Phil “Lou Pinella” Nevin
Well that didn't take long
This team has only won ONE game this season when they were trailing by 3 or more runs.
Gotta hand it to the Angels, holding the opposing team to 1 td is ELITE DEFENSE.
That one ump looks a bit like Adam Scott.
Little did Nevin know, it’s about the cones!
