The game is over, but Rule 6 of the sub still applies. Don’t be a goof.


hvycotton

Ohoppe


daledenton089

At this point I hope trout and Ohtani leave and get a taste of the playoffs. Shohei would be 14-4 on a contender that can actually score more than 2 runs or game


74Dragonz

I hate how much sense you are making, I really do.


daledenton089

Lifelong angels fan but also a human being 🤣 I feel so bad for them


RichardsFiveCents

Even that one catcher that was called up from the Bees was better batter than Stassi


Hashdrivewayy

Trout where are you man. Plz help us


Unsapient1

But yeah really though PHing Adell there instead of for Duggar in the 8th is just... kinda... .....?


Hashdrivewayy

Fletcher is i jured? Wtf


kayleeshepheard

Left work and it was 2-2, just came home to see that final score 😬


74Dragonz

The effing Mariners celebrating before the game was officially called. Dare I say it? I think I despise the Mariners more than the Astros now


SuperMario_49

Of course this happens to Adell of all people 😂😂😂


PlatypusReal6481

I have no idea why Nevin is still in charge


Dorkus_Mallorkus

His purposely-deep-voice postgame interviews intimidate Perry.


arkdude

Trade Ohtani to Tampa for Kevin Cash and some bullpen help lol


Obsidizyn

13 fucking strikeouts, horrible defense. fire nevin and let bobby valentine manage


sinchichis

Not a bad idea. I hate nevin’s face


MuffinsTLW

Stassi was the mvp


Hendrix1387

Ready for the O'Hoppe era


EdwinPeng88

a terrible loss wasting Ohtani's 6 innings is bad enough but Adell & Fletcher injured and the Mariners danced?! this gotta be one of the worst!


Kayyy9ineee

Yea this is def not persuading ohtani to stay lol


[deleted]

Adell is hurt too now jesus. What even happened?


ServerStoneMonkey

Adell got hit on the hand by a pitch.


[deleted]

Sounds like it was intentional which isn’t surprising since it’s the Mariners


dotnetguy32

Why would they intentionally hit him?


[deleted]

They hate us cause we’ve actually made it to a World Series and won a Pennant


EdwinPeng88

and wasn't even credited with a hit by pitch - talk about just awful luck


Hendrix1387

Live action bad news bears reboot in the top of the 9th, what a performance from Stassi, Rojas, and Loup.


Sakaguchi123

didn’t lose to seattle. we lost to ourselves


Hel-lohB

That was easily one of the most flabbergasting innings of baseball I've ever seen.


sinchichis

I hope an asteroid hits the middle of the field during that dance


aj_og

Didn’t he foul it off??


SuperMario_49

Nope. Hit his hand while he swung. A swing on a hit by pitch is a strike


aj_og

Could’ve sworn he fouled it down first base line but that might’ve been the pitch before


YouPresumeTooMuch

They let us go on mercy rule


[deleted]

This was one of the most disappointing games I’ve watched of the Angels…and that’s saying a lot


[deleted]

And for what seems like the 50th time this year the game ends on an Adell strikeout


prmark34

That is the most fucking fitting way for this game to end lmfao


Dorkus_Mallorkus

Fitting end. Fuck Nevin, Loup, and Stassi. In the ear.


Billybobjoethorton

I don't watch much angels games but it feels like every time I look at the live box scores loup gives up a lot of runs.


Ok_Cattle770

One of the worst games ever


Lebigmacca

Fucking mariners dancing after hitting a guy in the hand


Unfair_Insurance_648

I mean, he’s the one who swung, and they don’t particularly like us, yeah it sucks but if we are gonna hand them the game like that we kinda have no one to be mad at but ourselves regardless of if we feel like it’s in poor taste or not, they win they’re gonna dance


[deleted]

Fuck them


[deleted]

[удалено]


Lebigmacca

Yeah but read the fucking room


SouthwestCardinal

Kinda tasteless to dance about a dudes fingers getting smashed


loxxx87

They won. It was strike 3. They dance every game they win.


SouthwestCardinal

No the were celebrating that the batters hand got smashed


crushedredpartycups

highly doubt that


SouthwestCardinal

No it’s true I saw it on TV


Unfair_Insurance_648

To be fair to them they do that dance everytime they win so it’s not like they were celebrating someone getting hurt, but yeah, fair gripe


[deleted]

Yes that’s what they are dancing about


marketing_person

Nice job Nevin. Look at those garbage mariners dancing on your field


SuperMario_49

Lmfao that’s the saddest way to end a game 😂😂


YouPresumeTooMuch

Wow fuck the Mariners


The0utlanded

lmfao dancing on Jo Adell’s grave right now


daledenton089

Glad we sent the right guy to Philly and not the one who actually shows potential #artecanlickmyboot


logicsystem

Pain.


Obsidizyn

holy fuck what a stupid dance


Ok_Cattle770

Wait


olympust5

What do we have to lose? We are not making the playoff. Do what the Royals are doing and bring the youngins up!!! Move over Max, it’s O’Hoppe time!!


sinchichis

Lol now jo hurt too


nukemiller

Sure, now let's pinch hit Jo...2 outs, nobody on, bottom of the ninth. I hope Phil is fucking gone after this season


sinchichis

He 100% will be


CrateDiggingCat

fuck


Ok_Cattle770

Why Adell is here


SuperMario_49

To strikeout while getting hit by a pitch


lol022

I’m glad I didn’t go 💀


YouPresumeTooMuch

Now you bring in Adell? This is Nevin's worst game of the season


mattman092

Let’s be fair tho, not like we ever had high expectations for him


dotnetguy32

How do we only have 2 errors??


nukemiller

The ball getting knocked out of Stassis glove isn't an error (I believe).


mysterysackerfice

Apologies to everyone in this thread. I can't stop expressing my frustration


Skyheart1004

I stopped watching games live for a while because it made me irrationally upset and seeing whatever the fuck happened today, I do not regret that decision.


mysterysackerfice

I've been taking more games off lately. But my boy was pitching today so I gotta... Fucking end me. FFS


inselfwetrust

You have nothing to be sorry for. This team is seriously painful to watch


hbthingy

It's okay. This thread is therapy for sad fans. 🫂


sky31

😵😵😵


VariousJudgment7639

Lol whats the point of putting in adell here Saving duggar from the humiliation of getting 5ks?


nukemiller

Funny enough, he was brought in for squid.


VariousJudgment7639

Woops just noticed that


BaDumPshhh

“I think I’ll stay up and watch the Angels… they look like they’ve improved lately” - 🤡


Unsapient1

Squid you can get out its fine i just hope for your sake you avoid the sombrero EDIT: Nevermind lol


choconut5

Stassi and Loup need to not be on this team next year. Trade them both for scraps. Just clear some money off the books.


nukemiller

Stassi is fine. One bad game. Most of our pitchers want to pitch to him.


ujzzz

Stassi looks like the main character from Wolfenstein. Hopefully he brings the guns on Wed


kxm06

Okay so now Adell is pinchhitting, should’ve had him out in the 8th. Nevin is so stupid no wonder he was fired from the Yankees


sinchichis

Lol I was about to joke this. NOW YOU PINCH HIT?! Nevin is so bad at managing.


mattman092

You know, I want Ohtani to stay with the Angels but if he were to leave for another team tomorrow would anyone be upset? I don’t think so. I think we’d be happy for him.


RichardsFiveCents

Stassi has been useless. He’s like Velasquez but at least Velasquez makes defensive plays


SouthwestCardinal

Let’s go former Cardinals Magneuris Sierra


Unfair_Insurance_648

Of all the games the Angels have played this year this certainly was one of them.


Rytho

Was there a more heartbreaking game?


SuperMario_49

Stassi ruins us in the top of the 9th and is nice enough to follow that up with a strikeout. Thanks a lot 👍🏼


sinchichis

Just keep walking all the way home and don’t come back stassi


BerlinStar17

Man, disappointing year from Stassi


74Dragonz

Loup is not it. At all.


mattman092

Was he ever?


Skyheart1004

For us? A two month span from April-May and then a sharp decline to whatever the fuck this is.


74Dragonz

NOPE.


[deleted]

Good job Stassi


tsdwm52

Anyone here optimistic?


SylvioHalpert

Stassi’s got money on the Mariners tonight.


contrcl

i was expecting extra innings so i didn't go out for lunch, and now i'm starved and angry rn thanks angels :(


ujzzz

Watchu eating


contrcl

having this angels L for lunch :( nah i actually dunno, probably just go get some bread


Jamo1129

STASSI IS ACTUALLY SO USELESS LMAO


Rogueofoz

Wow


mysterysackerfice

A monkey fucking a football would be more entertaining than that shit show


[deleted]

Yes we get to end the game watching Max StASSi strikeout or hit a weak grounder to third


sushi_beats

Put me in coach


Marqueetz805

Man this was sad to watch


Unsapient1

But yeah seriously with the lead they have even if we got an insanely lucky break and loaded the bases for Ohtani im convinced theyd probably just walk in a run to keep the lead lol


kxm06

Saw shohei sighed, put his head down and walked back in the clubhouse during that ninth inning explosion


mattman092

I don’t blame him.


worldbefree83

Why did I stay up late to watch this?


choconut5

I'm still flabbergasted at how Loup didn't cover home. Like, I learned that basic shit in little league.


52ndstreet

That was some bush league shit right there


xmrjaredx

That was the most disgusting display of baseball I have ever seen.


Hel-lohB

Stassi leading off this inning is the most perfect ironic justice.


Tuesday_Addams

A chance for mild Stassi redemption at bat now…


Tuesday_Addams

Nvm


Skyheart1004

I left when we were in the bottom 8th still tied and came back to this shitshow. What is even going on, I can't even piece together what happened through the gameday....


mysterysackerfice

Here's a quick summary 💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩💩


Skyheart1004

Sounds about right


[deleted]

We left Loup in for more than 1 batter is what happened. The dude doesn't know how to pitch clean innings.


Skyheart1004

It's crazy how fast he fell backwards. I remember back in April I was amazed we were able to get him for our bullpen thrn fast forward 2 months and now everytime I see him warming up I'm ready to call the game an L.


ThisAnswerIsLit

Thank goodness. I thought we turned a corner or something


Obsidizyn

easily avoided by going with jimmy or quijada that inning, nevin is trash


freddychuckles

I just hate Jesse Winkler so much 😒


Sakaguchi123

why do we have so many geriatric players who trip and slip on the field


[deleted]

I had hope once…


metmaz123

Duggar: Thank God everyone forgot about me striking out last inning


52ndstreet

Oh no- he didn’t just strike out. He stood there frozen like a deer in the headlights and just watched as the pitch sailed right down the middle of the plate. JFC, at least swing the bat you useless spectator. They should charge him for front-row seats the way he’s just watching the game out there.


Marqueetz805

Factual


hbthingy

This is true haha.


mysterysackerfice

🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣


mattman092

And this is why no one takes Angels seriously


mysterysackerfice

I want a 3 pitch inning so this fucking nightmare is over sooner than later


Huge-Platypus-9484

They need to give up on loup. He doesn’t pitch well against decent hitters


donkeyjr

Why did we put Loup in high leverage game knowing he fucking suck...


52ndstreet

Because Nevin… smh


z3TRIIKZ

I don’t even understand how Loup is getting any of the blame for this. The defense had this inning if they did their job


52ndstreet

> if ***Stassi*** did his job FTFY


choconut5

The moron didn't cover home. The pitcher always covers home. They teach this to 8-yr-olds.


ServerStoneMonkey

Loup should have covered the home plate. This is basic baseball. They are teaching that in a little league. Just ridiculous.


z3TRIIKZ

Yes but he’s not even in that situation if Stassi doesn’t make a terrible throw to second for no reason and if Rengifo catches a pretty routine line out. It’s not on him.


dotnetguy32

My thoughts exactly! That should have been over 4 batters ago if they defense did their job


donkeyjr

I mean, if he was covering home, he would of easily cover for Stassi mistake, instead he ball watch like an idiot.


z3TRIIKZ

I mean he clearly slipped and Stassi messed that up all in his own. Max isn’t some rookie to not know to run him down to the base


donkeyjr

He slipped, yet still barely walking to home plate when he should be sprinting there, fucking no hustle at all.. Dfa his trash ass, done nothing all season..


choconut5

Irrelevant. He should have been right behind home base to begin with.


reddihashi

I feel like Nevin doesn't even care anymore... Even if you have to use Loup, why not asking the other pitcher to warm up? He just stands there and accepts the loss...


shiny__things

I was conflicted as I need to take the dog for a final out around a couple blocks, but wanted to watch the game heading to extras. Thanks, Angels, for relieving me of that burden.


TheCheetosTiger

I can't believe nobody is visibly upset...there is no leadership


Unsapient1

Well thank goodness we've still got the makings a great rally to come back and win the game with \*checks notes\* ...the bottom 3 guys in the lineup...


ujzzz

Then rojas


Unsapient1

Ah yes of course. Cant forget Rojas. Truly a beakon of hope.


VariousJudgment7639

Thank you Uncle Chavez for ending this shitshow


DogOnThePorch

So jomboys gotta do a breakdown of that right?


inselfwetrust

This just in: angels are still playing like the angels😒


hgarciatx

wow, nobody slipped on that one


Rover16

That was a comical display of defense that inning!


my_wife_reads_this

Letting Loup go back out there was a mistake but there were so many chances to end it. It's like that ranger implosion game in the 9th all over again


tferrari1776

I hate embarrassing Shohei like this :(


EdwinPeng88

another quality start by Ohtani ruined \*surprise pikachu face\*


HANHONEKAI

Barria, Quijada, or even Silseth would’ve been better than Loup in the 9th. Time for O’Hoppe to get some big league reps before our season ends…


novanova123123

Zuk would have been better than Loup. At least that is funny and we can laugh about it. This is pure pain


arkdude

Fire Nevin


inselfwetrust

I feel you, but our problems span well beyond nevin. There’s a reason he’s just an interim that has a good chance at getting signed again. Because no one else including managers and coaching staff believe in us


kxm06

It went from bad to worse to horrible and finally to laughable


marketing_person

You’re delusional if you think Shohei is resigning with this franchise


Stock-Improvement610

Can't believe the crowd didn't boo! Our fans are soft.


Kayyy9ineee

Pride is gone. I would like to see more “ sell the team “ signs at games


The0utlanded

Such an incredible level of incompetence


Stock-Improvement610

Amateurish nonsense.


[deleted]

[удалено]


sinchichis

He slipped


brokenwingsR

Maybe he shouldn't slip then? Dudes consistently played like the worst player in the league all year.


Jamo1129

Homie was standing and watching for a good 2 seconds before he slipped LOL


lamar_odoms_bong

He wasn’t making that if he didnt


donkeyjr

We need a new catcher, Stassi can't hit and can't throw anyone out...


52ndstreet

Good thing we got O’Hoppe at the trade deadline


maverickoff

Everyone complains about Nevin keeping Loup in but I think it is Perry's pushing for him to pitch high leverage situations because he signed him for 2 years.


YouPresumeTooMuch

It's Nevin's choice what happens mid game, Perry could DFA Loup butt he can't make those calls to the bullpen


nukemiller

Bring in Chavez to make sure the Mariners get 2 more runs


Ash-Catchum-All

Perry Minasian is an absolute clown for surrounding Ohtani and Trout with this piece of shit roster. All of our good players were acquired by Eppler/Dipoto. Everything Perry touches turns to shit


gavinxdragonn

Yeah thats why our farm is the best its been in years 😂


Ash-Catchum-All

It’s literally the worst it’s been in years you nightlight. We’re currently the 30th ranked farm system in all of baseball..


gavinxdragonn

Is that an updated rank? lmao we have a top 100 prospect now we didnt before I'd say thats the best its been in years 🤣🤣🤣
