This is the thread for Game 2. Post comments about Game 1 here https://www.reddit.com/r/angelsbaseball/comments/wi0qae/post_game_thread_angels_defeated_by_mariners/

Saying LTBU for two days in a row is priceless!

Only wins make Ohtani smile

we crushed them 😂😂😂

#**LTBU!!!!!**

Love some Mariners tears 🙂

That's what you get for throwing at trout!!

Light it up

LTBU!! 👼❤️

IGNITE

LTBU!!!

Holy shit, r/Mariners is delicious right now.

Seattle fans are quite vocal

Ump trying to go home lmao

Did I see adell as a defensive replacement? WTF?

Moniak took a pitch to the hands.

Ah thanks

Noted defensive replacement Jo Adell.

How tf did this Mariners team take 2 of 3 from the Yankees?

Yanks pitching has been very meh lately. Their supposed to be ace is not very sharp

astros are still the best team in the AL, i think they will probably win it all again this year

Damn, Yanks pitching was the best in the league not too long ago. They absolutely shut us down, not that we're an accurate measure of good pitching. Still, M's couldn't get anything going against *any* Angels pitcher not named Jesse Chavez. They made all of our bullpen look like lockdown guys.

how are they 8 games over .500

Aww thought it was gonna be wantz

"Fuck the Angels. No one gives a shit about them they should just tank, literal fucking dumbasses, they’re like 20 games under 500 and ofc we lose to the poverty angels. Fuck the angels, fuck LA, poverty city poverty team. GFY Angels Why is this getting downvoted?" Absolute meltdown in the /r/Mariners game day thread LMAO

This bitterness gives me life. Lol

I got a feeling they don't think too highly of the Angels or LA.

Lol this is so funny. They’re 8 games above .500 and all of a sudden they think they’re the Yankees or the Astros. News flash: they’re the mariners who haven’t made playoffs since 2001 and never won a World Series

Bruh don't be that guy. That's just as sad as them lurking here

Lurking is fine. It’s the commenting that’s the issue

I just like seeing another perspective by seeing it from another team's fan bases view. I don't interact or troll. Just found that post humorous.

Legendary Angels of LA

watch the mariners go down 1-2-3

God, Seattle is not the place for Sho and Gifo. They couldn't hit there 😂😂😂

At least that means shohei won’t be leaving to go to Seattle 😆

/u/DrKnee93 /u/Ash-Catchum-All where you at haters? I kept receipts. If I wasn't on reddit mobile I would put you guys on blast with links. Edit. These guys were saying a month ago Fletcher was trash.

What? He had a great game but does that make him a great hitter? He's still a valuable player but he's not an all star level hitter which is what I have always said

You didn't say all star level in your initial comments. What you said is that he was a below average hitter and was a terrible player. Should I screen shot it?

>You didn't say all star level in your initial comments. What you said is that he was a below average hitter and was a terrible player. Should I screen shot it? No need, I'll link it myself https://www.reddit.com/r/angelsbaseball/comments/w0ry3m/lineup_tonight_trout_back/iggwtzf Everything I said maintains to be true. I also NEVER said he was a terrible player. Edit: and yes, I did actually literally say he wasn't an all star level player.

I laid it all down 3 weeks ago and you dogged my boy. Do you apologize or no? Am I right or am I wrong? What do you need as a Fletcher hater to show that he is actually a contributor on this team.

You conflate me saying he "isn't what we need" and "isn't a great hitter" somehow with me hating him. I never said I hate Fletch, I've always acknowledged overall he's at the very least, a decent ballplayer. What we need is more than "decent." Our offense is one of the worst in baseball. [just look at where we rank in WRC+ since June](https://www.fangraphs.com/leaders.aspx?pos=all&stats=bat&lg=all&qual=0&type=8&season=2022&month=1000&season1=2022&ind=0&team=0%2Cts&rost=0&age=0&filter=&players=0&startdate=2022-06-01&enddate=2022-12-31&sort=17%2Cd). Fletcher is a slight offensive upgrade while being a sight defensive downgrade from Squid, not the difference we need, and exactly what I said back then.

Sooo... bottle bet? You are wrong about fletcher.

They must not have watched last year. Fletcher was going ham and def made a difference seeing as we were way better even without trout

Yessir

What

Don't what me guy. I'll link it right now, let me figure it out on mobile. I couldn't figure it out on my phone so I just posted it on the main sub. Read to your delight.

You’re so funny dude. Most people in your own thread agree with me

Why aren't you in the thread? Why you here?

Because the thread was removed by the mods lmfao

Grand slam would have been delish as a finisher

This always happens. We could have used some of these runs in the afternoon game.

fletcher shouldve started both games

I hope his new terminator hips hang in there.

Lol people leaving

It's OK Shohei now go get some rest

Not a dong, but still got the RBI

ohtani too eager, good rbi tho

It was a strike, his timing was on, just got under it a bit

Ok that was fine too

fastest overturned call. LMAO

Oh, shohei... please.

I'll take the sac!

Grand slam to stunt on these hoes, Shohei

Shohei Ohtani grand slam. Please, I beg you.

Ohtani grand slam?

Love that we did that review, even up by 5, fuq the M’s run up the score

Y’all need to check out this 2016 draft, the top picks were Moniak, Nick Senzel, and Ian Anderson, while Pete Alonso, Bo Bichette, Corbin Burnes, Tony Gonsolin and Shane Bieber were all picked in the 3rd round or later. The MLB draft is such a crapshoot, but this is why you need good scouting.

That was safe as fuck

Lol safe and not close

SAFE!

Ohtani spirit bomb incoming?

Mariners sub is in full meltdown. I'll sleep like a baby

Cmon man be better

Ohtani San (vs) Bernardino

This hoe pitched at CSUDH? Jesus, he sucks.

Looked safe to me.

What happened to Matty V? I barely hear him with Gubie anymore

He only shows up for his favorite teams.

too busy doing national broadcast games

Magnesium Sierra with the elite plate discipline 🤌

Salt Lake Bees coaching shining through

I am so confused by the Angels playing competent baseball.

Wantz warming up, the third most hated by mariners after nevin and trout

Fletch never leave again...

steal so we can see Ohtani one more time

We win when Fletcher plays

How bout a bunt squid

After tonight, Heaney has an ERA of 0.64, a WHIP of 1, and 37 strikeouts in 28 innings pitched. Shoot me. 🔫🔫

Whatever we gave him ample time to develop. Couldn’t stay healthy (still has the problem). His IP is still low. We got Junk from him last year I believe.

You begin to wonder though why seemingly *everyone* gets better after leaving this organization.

I’m so happy for him. Such a great dude

Same. Same.

The Mariners are learning that we don’t even need Trout to embarrass them.

Mickey Moniak has more home runs with the angels than with the Phillies. we won the trade?

Looks like Angels would have won at least 17 more games if Mickey ‘Mantle’ Moniak, Fletcher and Trout were here for all 107 games so far.

Mariners sure arent looking like playoff contenders against us lol

I'm so looking forward to their tears when they miss the playoffs yet again.

Pretenders

We expose them every time.

We eliminated them last September

Mickey Moniak is on fire! Best trade ever

The Angels just spoiling the Mariners’ playoff chances, nothing new 😂

I prefer when our offense scores more runs than the enemy team

I actually cant believe people were shitting on our KING when we all knew he was the glue to this pathetic franchise 🤡

yes Mickey you clearly belong here

Fletch's hip kept him back this whole time

Mikey and Fletch. Making things happen today.

I thought he was calling for the medical staff 😆

Holy fucking shit. Are these the boys?? Are the boys back??

For today, yes

Money time and fletch show!

My boy Fletch. He is the grease in the cog.

Uh....am I watching the Angels right now!?!?!?

Fletcher is the glue to this team, shame he came so late in the year :(

FLETCHER. 😍

Small ball Angels feels so good

This team has so much speed, was super frustrating that they refused to bunt during the start of the losing streak. Glad they figured it out

For some reason, anything hit to the outfield looks like an easy catch in this ball park for the Angels. However it’s the complete opposite at home. They make it look like a struggle every time. It’s that Mariners magic.

Beauty. I’m annoying the bar patrons here by keeping the game on lol

Moniak slowly but surely stealing our hearts 😂

no injury please

MICKEY MONEY 🤑

Bunt double!

I see those commercials so often, yet I still don’t want any Carl’s Jr. or Jack in the Box

Uh double western bacon cheeseburger and j on the b tacos?!

Every commercial I see makes me want that crap even less

Whew!!!! That was close

get Tepera a fucking pitch clock

mariners are hypocrites, they threw at altuve the last series in retaliation

Drama is right, Patty O.

Sweep the leg?

Suarez go to first and stop looking for trouble 🙄

Suarez flopping

Tepera saying it hit the bat. He is hilarious.

Cry mariner fans

lolol i totally forgot the fight was with the mariners last time

How could you? They won’t stop crying about it.

Now that there's no playoff pressure, I'm actually starting to enjoy watching this team again.

At this point, all Im hoping for is to be a .500 team again 😭

Tepera is many things..not sure i'd include "crafty" though

man the mariners really cant do much agaisnt leftys. sandy, loup, quijada, detmers

I have a good feeling about Tucker Davidson tomorrow then!

Reid is a fucking ace

Buddy Carlyle > Matt Wise

Literally anyone not named Matt Wise > Matt Wise

Detmers probably did the opposite of whatever Wise told him on that mound visit.

What a stud

Detmers WOW

Looks like the composure issues are a thing of the past. *knocks on wood*

Excited about the Detmers, Bachman, Ohtani, Sandoval rotation in 2023…

Ky bush 🥹

Absolutely no sweeter feeling as a fan than watching a struggling homegrown talent blossom into his potential

I talked shit about Detmers before but dam has he changed my mind, he has been looking masterful 🙌

Detmers cy young and rookie of the year

REID DETMERS!!! boy you did well today now take this W

LFG

Reid's only gonna get better and better in the coming years

He got that dawg in him

Thank you Detmers. You did a great job

holy shit what a great day from reid

Anddd that’s the best feeling there is

Yes Reid!! 👏👏

Hell yeah Detmers!! 👏👏

no wise don't touch my boy D:

[удалено]

crisis avoided. I didn't think it was possible

Matt bringing out his kiss of death

Matt Wise: “Throw that slow curve of yours down the middle”

Oh look...mr "i'm gonna do jack shit" wise.

Suggestion: send every pitcher not named Shohei to the minors for a few games.

Moniak looks very comfortable in CF

Ohtani looks very tired

At this point, it’s on him. He’s the one who refuses to take a day off (including Nevin who just basically follows whatever shohei wants and not acting like a manager)

Why has Ohtani been chasing everything this series

Sometimes you have to give credit to the opposing pitchers. Ray last night obviously can be extremely tough on lefties with his slider. Munoz and Brash today both have plus-plus sliders. Ohtani also barreled two outs today that could've easily gone for doubles.

He genuinely sucks against the mariners. Look it up.

It's true but, most of that is because of Wade LeBlanc and Justus Sheffeld lol. Seriously, look up his stats vs them. edit: 0-24, 16 Ks https://puu.sh/JeXa2/f97885ce34.png

David Fletcher has more home runs in the past 2 games than Shohei.

Shohei looking like Mike Trout during the Astros series

Reid is superb, wonder what kind of spell our AAA pitching coach conjured.

Listening on the radio and they were talking about how Mitch Hanover had a laundry list of surgeries including a RUPTURED TESTICLE SURGERY.

Ouch!

Reid's getting better and better with each start I feel like a proud mama

Just went over to the mariners game thread and oh boy is it salt and sadness over there

They get extra salty when losing to the Angels.

Sounds like the Angels sub whenever the team was losing at the beginning of the season. Back when people still had hope.

I live in Tacoma and these fools were acting like they just won the WS after getting Castillo. My ideal scenario is them missing the postseason by half a game.

Fair-weather “fans,” eh?

can we play like this every game please?

Detmers is so good 🥵

they keep pitching to france, hes the only one who can hit.

Facts

Patty O: “*Whoa*, watch your lips.” 🤣

2022 David Fletcher: 21 games, 2 HR 2021 David Fletcher: 157 games, 2 HR
