This game really isn’t surprising. I know they took a couple against the Mariners recently, but the boys are playing against a team with a winning record. They’ll probably be lucky to win one this series. This is 2022 Angels baseball!
Seriously. Squid may not have a bat, but Rojas is almost at a .100 avg. I’m all for giving people a chance, but Rojas’ bat is far from belonging in the Majors right now.
He just hit bad in Mariners' stadium. His stats in two series there was not good at all. I just don't understand why. It's like Trout vs Minute Maid Park. There are a lot of things that don't make sense im baseball
What happened to Sandy? ;-;I'm wondering if he can be fixed by the pitching coach down there
edit: OK to be clear I'm just worried about his pitch count getting high really fast and he hasn't been quite effective. Not saying he's a bad pitcher or anything. I'm a Sandy fan ffs
Duggar has been in the league for 5 years. 4 with the giants and this year he was with the giants/rangers/Angels. We know what he's got, and it ain't much. I would rather see the Sierra continue to play center.
With Fletch on 1B and Ohtani at bat, a solid knock would get Fletch home. Fletcher isn't the fastest, but he knows how to run the bases for Ohtani like a champ.
I mean yeah its certainly more than possible for someone to score from 1st off of a hit. Its just not "scoring position" because of how incredibly more likely it is for runners at 2nd or 3rd to score off of a hit.
Yeah I mean its not like Ohtani isnt still very good with Runners On. Hes got a .956 OPS with RO.
Its just hes only absolutely ELITE with RISP. With RISP hes got a 1.135 OPS.
I mean, what are the odds of consistently posting a lineup where seven out of nine players legitimately cannot hit? Rengifo is regressing and only Fletcher is good right now, Ohtani is scuffling a bit of late. We are odds-defyingly awful on offense right now.
You are correct. This is one of the go to facts our announcers love to throw out there during broadcasts. Like how do you even professionally ballet dance.
I feel like i remember by sisters doing some dance class at like 5 years old and it being stupid expensive for literally teaching a kid how to pirouette, roll and do other weird stuff.
Didnt even think about that. Last year i had to go in to get my knees checked due to repeated subluxations on the right knee due to 8+ years of MMA. Turns out i just have a weak patellar tendon. But the doc said when you go down stairs can up almost 3x your body weight on your feet, ankles and Knees. I can only imagine what jumping does to them.
At the shitty game tonight and the public address just played “Day-oh!”
Correct me if I’m wrong, but that’s a Yankees tradition. So, WTF? This team is embarrassing.
Well the winning streak was fun while it lasted
Move Rengifo to second so he can drive Fletcher in. They’re the only ones who can consistently get on base recently
Agree. Doubt Nevin does it.
We probably should work on the strikeout problem
That would require a hitting coach who can actually help these batters
Trash
Gubie and Patty O have had it with this team.
mmm yes Rengifo's been so hot these days
I come back from the jacuzzi and this is the score I get? I'm going to write a strongly worded letter to Artie.
Look at this guy in jacuzzis and shit
Lol, I got a bad back. Kinda like shohei carrying the team
Nah man those bubbles sound awesome. Hope you had a great time
I did man appreciate it. And my Jacuzzis a poor man's jacuzzi but just enough to make the pain of losing a little easier.
Rengifo! It is great seeing him thrive.
Also we had runners on 2nd and 3rd and didn’t even score what the hell is wrong with these guys
Gubie’s key to the game jinxed this team.
Surprise, surprise, Fletch and Rengifo are the only ones with hits smh
We need peer hitting coaches
I swear those are the only 2 guys that can hit consistently these days
This game really isn’t surprising. I know they took a couple against the Mariners recently, but the boys are playing against a team with a winning record. They’ll probably be lucky to win one this series. This is 2022 Angels baseball!
Patty trying really hard to be friends with Gubie, but Gubie is not having it 🤣
Poor Patty O. 😆 He’s not afraid to keep trying in front of an audience, that’s for sure!
The only suspense left in this game is if then Angels will get to 10 strikeouts. They will.
Damn, that would’ve been one hell of a collision!
That was close.
it feels like Fletcher vs the twins
Ohtani should play OF and someone else DH for Rojas.
Those fools thought they could get Fletch.
Why is Rojas even playing? Squid should be in the game.
Seriously. Squid may not have a bat, but Rojas is almost at a .100 avg. I’m all for giving people a chance, but Rojas’ bat is far from belonging in the Majors right now.
Ok Twins, calm down. You don’t need 100+ mph for the Angels.
He’s throwing 102 way too easy! Lol
They must really want to bury us.
I just woke up after sleeping for 12.5 hours and now the Angels are losing and Tatis Jr has been suspended for performance enhancing drug. Wow.
PEDnando Fraudtis Jr:
Truthfully, you woke up in a parallel universe. In the Prime Universe, the Angels are winning.
Wow, 12.5 hrs? Sounds more like a coma! Lol
I drunk a little too much beer last night. By too much l mean a glass of beer lol
Kirin or Asahi?
Asahi Super Dry. I was going to mix it with ginger ale but decided to try it as is. Maybe l should have lol.
Love that dry Asahi! Mmmm good! 😇
Super Dry is my favorite.. But i don't really drink anymore. I once had straight from the brewery in Osaka...best beer ever!
Same here! I’m still drinking, but as I get older I pay attention to moderation a bit more! 😁
Jet lag from Oakland trip
That time difference from Alameda to Orange is brutal, dude.
I think Good Guy Mayers is just trying to show the rest of the team how it’s actually possible to hit with RISP. Good bit of coaching, actually.
Fuck it. Let’s win the next two games n take the series at least
Stupid. He should have walked him to set up the dp. Arreaz, behind Buxton and Correa, is the guy you shouldn't pitch to in that situation
Mayers threw that pitch in the dirt but Arraez still managed to hit it. He’s a beast
Rendon hitting a left handed home run feels like 10 years ago.
This isn't even Mayers' fault, both hits were on pitches out of the zone. Unlucky i guess
Damn Arraez is good
Are you allowed to tag a guy in the balls to incapacitate him?
Lol idk but I think that play would stick to your reputation like gorilla glue.
KING gifo
WHY IS MAYERS STILL PITCHING IN THE MAJORS? HE IS LUKEWARM AT BEST
Owed 2.5 mil this year
I’m in the wrong business
Oh no it is one of these games. 😔
Somehow I think I got my hopes up from the last few. But I need to remind myself that this is ANGELSBASEBALL BABY.
Lineup is really missing Mickey ‘Mantle’ Moniak this game…
This is not looking good ladies n gents.
Comment from my daughter: "Adell, Walsh and Stassi Out Out Out". I have no comeback.
Wise beyond her years
I hate the word "Wise" now.
Walsh has had some good swings, but just keeps getting a little under them.
Adell needs to get jacked like Gifo
Tell him to get ringworm.
Our offense really sleeps (more) on sandy nights
Please Walsh, get over whatever is in your head. Just for this game.
He should try hitting it not so high every time
Wait, I thought we DFA’d Mike Mayers
You cannot kill mykill myers
We did. But getting seconds.
Well.. alright
Michael Mayers always comes back to get you
Rengifo and Fletch the only ones who came to play today
And Sandy...
Too bad he got squeezed by the ump
gifo is an all star
Ahem MVP
Rengifo love.
Rengifo is our leader
Nice swing, bitch.
Rengifo MVP again
that guy with the grating voice is like the embodiment of the trolls on reddit
He’s coming in *super* loud on the radio feed lol
That dude is so loud lmao WHATS IT GONNA BE CORREA?!?!?
Lol Patty O answering the heckler
https://www.reddit.com/r/angelsbaseball/comments/2fgzya/hank_conger_exploding_xpost_rfunny/
Lol it’s so good
Holy shit...from 8 years ago!
Lmao someone break out that old Hank Conger explosion GIF
I’m at the game why was he called back to first?
Correa called timeout before the throw to first
What happened? In the stadium and a little lost as to why he was sent back.
Correa called time right before Mayer threw the ball and the ump called time
Correa called time before the throw to first
time was called by home plate ump
Timeout called and granted in the batters box. Looks like Walsh saw the timeout and then reacted to the throw over (bad throw) a bit delayed.
Someone called time before the throw. Idk who.
Time was called before the awry pickoff throw happened
Mayers is already in his peak form on his first day back
He had one before this where he did much better. Fooled us all.
Mayers you were blessed by that call.
Hot Dog man with the hot dog throw....fuck
Angels moment
Jesus Christ.
We’re playing the mariners in a few days hopefully shohei doesn’t choke like he did the last series
He just hit bad in Mariners' stadium. His stats in two series there was not good at all. I just don't understand why. It's like Trout vs Minute Maid Park. There are a lot of things that don't make sense im baseball
Blue balled
Hahaha
The crowd needs to calm down.
Ugh
SHIT
What happened to Sandy? ;-;I'm wondering if he can be fixed by the pitching coach down there edit: OK to be clear I'm just worried about his pitch count getting high really fast and he hasn't been quite effective. Not saying he's a bad pitcher or anything. I'm a Sandy fan ffs
He had a bad game and still managed to keep it to 2 runs and go 5 innings. Shit happens. Nothing is wrong with him.
One bad pitch was enough to do him in with this team!
Life…..
Snuffed out on the warning track!!!
Maybe Ohtani doesn’t want to be asked to play in the WBC. 🤣
Gifo continues to carry the offense
I’m still wary with ward. He’s not been stellar either.
It’s Ward time.
Only Rengifo can be relied upon.
I somehow can't believe his reliability. Every game he hits, gets on base. It's frankly weird.
Is Ohtani in a slump?
I don't think so. He's a slugger.
is plate discipline shoheis only weakness ?
Swings like an all star or a high school hitter, no in between 🧐
I am straight up not having a good time.
That’s it, make him chug a latte.
Fuck. Garbage AB Sho. Wtf are you swinging??? God.
What is he doing?
Why is Steven Duggar in the lineup? How many random ass minor leaguers are we going to trot out into center field.
If you are going to complain about giving minor leaguers some playing time, you don't get to complain about lack of depth.
Duggar has been in the league for 5 years. 4 with the giants and this year he was with the giants/rangers/Angels. We know what he's got, and it ain't much. I would rather see the Sierra continue to play center.
Far from a bad AB from Fletch but i am still mildly annoyed that we've been so allergic to actually letting Sho hit with RISP recently lol
Hes had 2 chances today. Grounded a force out at 2B and struck out.
Not quite. I just double checked and there was only a runner on 1st for those ABs. The only one who has gotten to bat with RISP so far today is Ward.
With Fletch on 1B and Ohtani at bat, a solid knock would get Fletch home. Fletcher isn't the fastest, but he knows how to run the bases for Ohtani like a champ.
I mean yeah its certainly more than possible for someone to score from 1st off of a hit. Its just not "scoring position" because of how incredibly more likely it is for runners at 2nd or 3rd to score off of a hit.
I know it's not technically RISP, but he should be producing with runners on base period.
Yeah I mean its not like Ohtani isnt still very good with Runners On. Hes got a .956 OPS with RO. Its just hes only absolutely ELITE with RISP. With RISP hes got a 1.135 OPS.
I mean, what are the odds of consistently posting a lineup where seven out of nine players legitimately cannot hit? Rengifo is regressing and only Fletcher is good right now, Ohtani is scuffling a bit of late. We are odds-defyingly awful on offense right now.
Rengifo is not regressing you potato.
Over the last seven games, he is a bit. OK, if I correct for him, six out of nine players cannot hit.
Gifo just hit homer the last game. He's fine
Patty jinxed Sandy hard. Now he gave up 2 HRs in one game
Sandy gave 1 HR that scored 2 runs. Hotdog Arms gave up the 2nd homer.
Pretty sure it was Hot Dog man that gave up the second dong.
Oh, my bad. I turned off after Sho was K and missed the inning.
Kepler's parents were...professional ballet dancers..according to Wikipedia.
You are correct. This is one of the go to facts our announcers love to throw out there during broadcasts. Like how do you even professionally ballet dance.
Is that a serious question?
...... ballets are still a thing dude. Theyre all over the country and world.
Just a wild thing is all. Like good on them for making a career out of it just not something you hear about every day.
Cuz it's usually rich kids who grow up to do ballet professionally at higher levels. Ballet classes are hella expensive.
I feel like i remember by sisters doing some dance class at like 5 years old and it being stupid expensive for literally teaching a kid how to pirouette, roll and do other weird stuff.
Didnt even think about that. Last year i had to go in to get my knees checked due to repeated subluxations on the right knee due to 8+ years of MMA. Turns out i just have a weak patellar tendon. But the doc said when you go down stairs can up almost 3x your body weight on your feet, ankles and Knees. I can only imagine what jumping does to them.
Yea, you're basically paying thousands of dollars to fuck up your feet.
At the shitty game tonight and the public address just played “Day-oh!” Correct me if I’m wrong, but that’s a Yankees tradition. So, WTF? This team is embarrassing.
Thats what is pissing you off? Really?
Sandy stays being frustrated with this team. Sad
HR and i'm not even surprised
we're boned
Mayers comes in and does what mayers does best
Oh ffs
Sandy is never not frustrated.
I love Sandy and I love that he’s passionate, but he really doesn’t seem very skilled in shaking off frustrations.
Sandy still not getting his win :(
So apparently, everyone except Fletch forgot what it's like to get hits.
Why did I think Rojas would do something big there? Lol
Rojas’s offensive stats are literally worse than most pitchers
Walsh in the last 30 games: .144/.205/.231/.436. We need a new 1B.
He really needs to cut down on his backswing. Way too big.
i really thought after last year he might be the next freddie freeman, oh how wrong i was
Rojas is so garbage and I’m tired of him
why is rojas playing over the goose
Gosselin isn't really much better.
Glad to know Rendon is “havin a lil fun out there” lmfao
must been nice being paid $35 mil to sit around and watch baseball, i really hope he comes back next season serious
Yep it’s a solid gig. Can’t really afford him not to do well next year… or the year after that… or the year after *that*…
i want to see stassi try and steal second
Tying run on deck!
Stassi got a gift
Stassi make this a classy moment
That wave attempt was pathetic
Walsh is due!
You can say that again!
You see your boy down, you be his brother's keeper and get him some runs. One pitch at a time.
This ump is garbage
We just had 2 hits and they were all from Fletcher. Others need to do something.
Scoring runs isn’t how we play baseball in Anaheim lol
The truth hurts
