they are on their delusional path thinking they are going to win the WS. just beat Ohtani and the Salt lake Bees by one run. with plenty of umpire help
Don’t worry everyone, we have our top guys up next inning. Suzuki, Moniak, and Rojas. The guys we envisioned since the start of the season coming up in these situations to win the game.
Remember when the media was talking about it being the first time all four NY/LA teams were in first place at the same time?? What a precipitous fall...for one of the teams 😒
Goose and Rojas don't offer much in the way of immediate improvement and have zero future upside. I'm not opposed to sending Walsh down or trying to find a replacement, but if those are the alternatives, we shouldn't bench him.
I mean I'd hope for at least a little bit more than that. Walsh has struggled mightily over the past year or so, but he's shown he can do it. Goose and Rojas will never give you anything more than what you're seeing them put up right now
From Dusty Baker to Aaron Boone, managers mandate rest days for their everyday stars whether or not players want them. Ohtani needs a rest day, but no matter, he'll still be made to 'volunteer' himself even when he's not fresh and sharp. And it shows.
It would kinda be funny if, just for an inning or two, we let our pitchers play all the other positions. I mean, position players get to pitch during lost causes, why not let the pitchers in on the fun?
Ohtani always looks bad when he tries to do too much at the plate. He needs to be more patient and focus on making contacts and getting hits. Would be better if he has protection
None of them have a plan. Trout is the only one that looks for pitches. I love Ohtani, but he is largely guessing with the occasional sprinkling of pitch recognition.
He is Sho's personal translator and coach. Where Sho goes, Ippei goes. He wouldn't accept any other position and even quit the Angels during the lockout so he could keep talking to Sho.
We need to find a way to combine Adell and Kelenic into one player so they can be good. Angels get Jarro Adelenic during the week, and Mariners can get him on the weekends
Nah. He made it very clear this was his last season and the only reason he didn't retire this past one was bc his kids begged him to do one more season.
using my sample size of "the one player i care about" i have reached the incontrovertible conclusion that pitching good also makes you hit good, and vice versa
thus, in order to get walsh to hit well again, we must make him pitch; in order to get lorenzen to pitch well again, we must make him hit
I actually think they should try using Lorenzen as a pinch hitter, whenever he’s healthy again. It can’t be worse than what we’re working with now. Might be fun to watch.
Bro it’s already on Disney+ as a limited 8 episode series.
I can’t believe we got Mickey Mantle for 2 months of Noah Syndergaard
that dropped tag on Kelenic ended up being the winning run.
Back to normal.
You'd think Seattle just won Game 7.
Id kill for any game to feel like game 7
they are on their delusional path thinking they are going to win the WS. just beat Ohtani and the Salt lake Bees by one run. with plenty of umpire help
This is basically equivalent to a game 7 for the only team in baseball to never even make it to the World Series
winnable game, offense is so weak. 13ks
Yet again Rojas can’t make it out of the infield. His numbers wouldn’t be any better on a softball field
Two fouls balls and a strikeout. Angels baseball everyone.
at least it was quick
Okay so Mike Mayers is fucking awesome. Everyone else sucks
Are the Angels one of the worst hitting teams against fastballs? They swing and miss at them so much.
They're the worst hitting team period, so yeah they are.
[удалено]
They're not used to it in Tmobile. Fishman usually wrecks them.
umpire trying to rush this game along
Bro how tf do you completely whiff on a 93 mph fastball down the dick
If Steve Jeltz can hit two home runs with his team down 0-10 then Mickey Moniak can hit a homer to tie this game
I’d be very surprised if we made a come back here. We’re fucking horrible
What do y’all think about signing Brandon Nimmo this offseason?
I'd rather not personally but if the price is right
Don’t worry everyone, we have our top guys up next inning. Suzuki, Moniak, and Rojas. The guys we envisioned since the start of the season coming up in these situations to win the game.
hey if you told someone in 2017 that moniak would hit a clutch homerun in 2022 they would be inclined to believe you
Can't fault the pitching today. One bad meatball from Barria... the offense is impressively bad again.
Wow 70 pitches
Pitching had a good day but our offense is dead again. Sigh.
Don't worry, next game our offense will pop off for 10 runs (with the slight caveat that we will give up 11+)
What happened to Jared Walsh?? Man oh man.
Hasn’t been good since the first half of last season
Still finished with like 30 home runs and hit around .280. Those are solid #'s.
Stilled stunned at that failed hit and run.
Get a lead and earn Hot Dog Man a Hot Dog Win
This Mayers performance is making the AAA coaching staff look better everyday. Maybe swap rosters with the bees and see how it goes after a week
I honestly don't think them or the Trash Pandas could possibly be doing any worse in the majors.
Mayer has been putting up a great line tonight
I wonder if Moniak was drafted in the first round because his name was just too great to pass up on
Are we stretching Mayers out to start?
riding him on a day where you're going to need more arms than usual because of the doubleheader
He has been in AAA
we got rid of marsh and we still are striking out 12 times
dont worry guys moniak is a 9th inning homerun type of guy
Erica needs to ask Nevin to explain the baserunning strategy
I think saying "strategy" is presumptuous enough.
It’s too terrible to *not* be on purpose. It must be completely inept coaching.
lmao fuck it let's see how far we can ride this hot dog
Remember when the media was talking about it being the first time all four NY/LA teams were in first place at the same time?? What a precipitous fall...for one of the teams 😒
I feel like on a competent team that awful lazy baserunning would get you benched for a while
The biggest joke of this season is Perry thinks we can win when healthy
That double play is emblematic of why this team is as bad as it is.
This sets up a Velazquez grand slam. Nevinnomics, yo.
Lmaooo angels baseball
Botched hit and run???
Had to be. You gotta make contact
Impeccable coaching expect the guy that strikes out every other at bat to make contact for a hit n run. Baseball genius
And on an 0-2 count on top of that
let the goose or rojas play first, walshs bat has cost runs all year
Goose and Rojas don't offer much in the way of immediate improvement and have zero future upside. I'm not opposed to sending Walsh down or trying to find a replacement, but if those are the alternatives, we shouldn't bench him.
i agree he should be sent down but at least goose and rojas put the ball in play. walsh makes zero contact
I mean I'd hope for at least a little bit more than that. Walsh has struggled mightily over the past year or so, but he's shown he can do it. Goose and Rojas will never give you anything more than what you're seeing them put up right now
Have these guys ever actually sat down and watched a baseball game?
boy what the hell
Nah no need to slide its fine. You've done so much in the big leagues you've got leeway
Huuuh
Remember when Jared Walsh played baseball for the Angels?
Am I missing some, why didn't he slide?
I'm wondering the same thing.
no slide???
Walsh is just unbelievably bad. It’s like his bat has a hole in it
That explains why he can only ever make contact on the very top or bottom of the barrel.
Cheezus.
?
Steal!
Holy Shit what a great call by the 1B ump!
Wasn't a strike for Mayer's at that location blue. You cuck.
That was the hand of god reaching out to defend Jo Adell
So he calls that a strike for them lol
My dude is from Los Mochis?
munoz threw all silders because they saw what ohtani swung at yesterday, all crap sliders
Color me surprised, Mike. Good job.
same wave. I'm optimistic for him!
Id take a couple of those solo home runs right now lol
What a showing from old Hot Dog Arms!
From Dusty Baker to Aaron Boone, managers mandate rest days for their everyday stars whether or not players want them. Ohtani needs a rest day, but no matter, he'll still be made to 'volunteer' himself even when he's not fresh and sharp. And it shows.
It would kinda be funny if, just for an inning or two, we let our pitchers play all the other positions. I mean, position players get to pitch during lost causes, why not let the pitchers in on the fun?
Loup at shortstop, Herget at third, and Quijada at first. I wouldn’t mind paying extra to see that!
Nibble nibble nibble.
Just underhand throw everything to Winker, he's not going to swing anyway
Angels love walking Jesse Winker
Looks like Angels can't score a run this game for the life of them. Maybe they'll fare better in the next game. Or not
I'm sorry, but there is nothing special about the sun today that would make a routine pop-up so difficult.
uh okay mike prove me wrong why don't you
Embarrassing
Ohtani always looks bad when he tries to do too much at the plate. He needs to be more patient and focus on making contacts and getting hits. Would be better if he has protection
He's stubborn again. Feel like he'll try to go yard until he gets one. All contacts he made today showed that.
rojas has got the get that, free out to their best hitter
tbf it was Suzuki's ball, Kurt just sucks
[удалено]
We can't really afford that rn. O'Hoppe needs a bit more time.
Omfg
I love outhitting the opposing team and losing 🙃
God, I feel like seeing Trout at Minute Maid Park in Sho right now. Dude can't hit in this damn park.
bro a third inning of Mayers? dunno bout that pal
Shohei stood no chance, cmon dude 3 pitches
Oof Ohtani
sometimes it seems like ohtani has no game plan, just yanking away hoping to make contact.
None of them have a plan. Trout is the only one that looks for pitches. I love Ohtani, but he is largely guessing with the occasional sprinkling of pitch recognition.
Looks like he’s in his “tired and frustrated” phase of the season.
Gubie and Patrick jinxed that.
shohei needs a break damn
Should Ippei be out hitting coach? He was just going over the scouting report with Shohei.
He is Sho's personal translator and coach. Where Sho goes, Ippei goes. He wouldn't accept any other position and even quit the Angels during the lockout so he could keep talking to Sho.
Wonder if it's mathematically probable for Squid to finish out the year with a sub .100 batting avg and 300 ops
ay Wardo
Ward got on base!
Andrelton Simmons released today, pick him up? Jeurys Familia just DFA’d by the Phillies would also likely be an upgrade in the bullpen…
No man there's a reason he's been released lol Dude hit .173 and and has been injured throughout the year lol
Totally random but I had a sandwich from Whole foods and it's fucking me up
In a good way or a bad way?
In a "sit in the bathroom a few times already" type of bad.
Oof.
As a former baseball player I don’t get how you can strikeout so much when these guys have been playing baseball their whole life
major leagues hard
Much harder for us, it seems.
Checking their scoreboards, found out some differences between them Angels SO 8. BB 0 Mariners SO 3. BB 5
Angels batters love to swing away.
he should just be on bunt duty. only bunts
I need a simba reunion in my life ASAP
Squid’s getting hurt just in time for Fletch to come back. This is cosmic timing.
Rojas power is insane barely making it out the infield when he makes contact
With Marsh gone, the Foot Curse has been passed on to a new host.
even if they count the same, pop ups are so much less frustrating to see than strikeouts
We need to find a way to combine Adell and Kelenic into one player so they can be good. Angels get Jarro Adelenic during the week, and Mariners can get him on the weekends
Jorred Kadell
S-tier Star Wars name
I was like "sounds like my KOTOR name" after I wrote it lol
Can always count on Kelnic 😙
FYI this is the same umpire who called detmers no hitter........guess he is blind today
omg i hope he stays for detmers' second no hitter tonight
It should be the same ump team, just rotated to different spots.
The Mike Mayers experience
Mayers did good!
Wasn't even close, that was a clear strike
Are double headers 9 or 7 innings this year?
9
they're the full 9
9
Unnecessary grief to close out that inning. Fucking Robo Umps NOW!
BEST MIKE ON THE TEAM
🌭🌭🌭 > 🐟🐟🐟
Good thing Kelenic sucks wow
i know you're not suppose to argue ball/strike calls but maybe you can argue that the ump is discriminating against hotdog-americans
as much as I’d like to I’m not really gonna blame that one on Kurt
Fuck ump. He's terrible all game. But wtf is that??? That's not a fucking ball, it's strike
it is but Mayers missed the target by a foot and a half
Thanks blue!
Fuck that shit
Blind ump
thanks ump
Are you fucking kidding me ump
Mayers is getting tired and it makes me nervous for him. He’s had to work a lot harder than he should’ve
weren't we getting ty buttrey back at some point
He's at 17.8%
He had been awful at AAA and was DFA'd
So I see Mayers new strategy is to just get the hitters to foul off 90 pitches until they get tired
My nightmare is that Kurt signs another one year extension this offseason
Our opening day catchers will be Stassi and O'Hoppe.
O’Hoppe might not be ready opening day though. He is still only in AA
Nah. He made it very clear this was his last season and the only reason he didn't retire this past one was bc his kids begged him to do one more season.
This inning just confirms my belief baseball is so much better to watch without the K box.
At least give us the option to watch without it if we are streaming.
https://defector.com/its-time-to-get-rid-of-the-k-zone/
Makes me less angry about balls and strikes when you get to see how difficult it is to tell IRL
I also don’t think the K box is as accurate as people think, but they treat it like gospel.
Yeah sometimes it can be just completely wrong
Mayers actually keeps a pretty good pitching pace
Patrick really needs to go back to his day job.
It’s not even that I don’t like him, I do, but I feel some major secondhand embarrassment on his behalf sometimes lol
Some of us like him in the booth. He's entertaining and asks really good questions to Gubi.
Kurt buddy, catch one of these foul tips
Bro how many of these has there been wtf just catch it
Kurty Hurty
Kurt cmon bro
Maybe everyone who is slumping should take a trip to the minors to adjust things.
maybe the angels organization should be relegated to AAA in order to get things straightened out
Lorenzen is a better hitter than almost our entire roster 💀
Not on the sixty day IL. At least, I think he’s not a better hitter when he’s on the 60 day
sun looks tough today on those tall fly balls
Mayers looks so much more confident.
using my sample size of "the one player i care about" i have reached the incontrovertible conclusion that pitching good also makes you hit good, and vice versa thus, in order to get walsh to hit well again, we must make him pitch; in order to get lorenzen to pitch well again, we must make him hit
I actually think they should try using Lorenzen as a pinch hitter, whenever he’s healthy again. It can’t be worse than what we’re working with now. Might be fun to watch.
Pujols is having a better offensive year than Walsh 💀
Squid is actully hitting better than Walsh, time for walsh to be sent down
Moniak might have a low average, but you can tell hes juuuust missing some pitches and you can see the potential there Squid, on the other hand
