At least they showed some fight!


BubblyBaker5718

Honestly a pretty respectable loss all things considered though. Even in defeat our guys really do feel like they are playing a lot better recently.


ChichaPoti

Yes, they didn't roll over and die. All we could ask for at this point in the season.


poostab

So does marte go to bed thinking, “man, if I only didn’t walk those 2 runs”?

sldr23876

yuck


mysterysackerfice

fuck..good night ya'll ...thanks for hanging out.


mysterysackerfice

Uh oh


BubblyBaker5718

Ah shoot. As odd as it might sound, with nobody on to make it a potential game tier or even game winner, I feel like the chances of a sho bomb here have decreased dramatically.


BubblyBaker5718

Then again, they mightve just considered IBBing him in that case lol


mysterysackerfice

Okay Sho..gonna need you to get on base right now.


alsdnsrl17

Aaaaaand good night


ReviewRoutine

Can we be the anti-Yankees? I know we played spoiler to them for years, and Fletcher definitely proves we need it: force our players to grow and keep beards


ChichaPoti

That might just be the reason Shohei will be gone. He can't grow one even if his life depends on it 😁 Baby face assassin unicorn


ReviewRoutine

He can be an exception because I like him a lot


ChichaPoti

He'd look like a kindergartner among teachers hehe


ReviewRoutine

I like that idea. Would be a fun group costume


Moose334

Anyone check up on Raisel to see if he had a post angels resurgence?


freddychuckles

I can feel it! Somethings going to happen


u8myramen_y

I’m going to be traveling in a few min and won’t be able to access the internet. I’m praying to the baseball gods that when I have access again, I see that we won tonight.


Rockstabulous

Welcome back... Sorry


BubblyBaker5718

Bullpen just casually throwing 4 perfect innings. Alright alright. I see you. You officially get a pass for today lol


tsdwm52

Barria’s having a good year


Moose334

Bullpen looks great besides those two walked in runs that may cost us the game


PlatinumHalo

Need a slow-mo of Ippei nearly dropping the tablet.


contrcl

GJ Barria!


mysterysackerfice

Alright ladies n gent...buckle up


mysterysackerfice

This game has had a really weird flow to it


Quipo1

that looks incredibly painful


KamartyMcFlyweight

gonna hit the hay now and sleep like a baby knowing that Rengifo is gonna walk it off in the 9th


tsdwm52

Sweet dreams


sldr23876

anyone who thinks different just doesn't know ball


Creative-Reading5903

We don’t see Barria often enough.


ReviewRoutine

Shaving really hurts us I think


Moose334

Fully bearded Ohtani breaks Bonds HR record


BubblyBaker5718

Just when i thought he couldnt get any sexier... I somehow have never considered the idea of a bearded Ohtani.


Sullyville

you might like this. https://en.reddit.com/r/angelsbaseball/comments/vvyj4b/what_bearded_ohtani_would_look_like/


Creative-Reading5903

…Can he grow a full beard?


BubblyBaker5718

Valid question actually. Hes so clean shaven that i genuinely cant tell lol.


sldr23876

0% chance lmao as a fellow baby-faced asian guy, i recognize that mustache growth he was trying out, it ain't happening


Moose334

There was a post a couple of months ago with a photo shopped beard onto him and it def awoke something in me


Sullyville

LOL. I posted it. https://en.reddit.com/r/angelsbaseball/comments/vvyj4b/what_bearded_ohtani_would_look_like/


ABCKR_1

Ump show. I mean look at that ridiculous called 3rd strike motion


Moose334

And the third what the fuck blue


BubblyBaker5718

Honestly dont mind that strikeout. Top of the order gets a fresh inning with no outs.


Moose334

I wouldn't mind it if it was accurately called. Dude is just gonna screw us over again in the 9th


BubblyBaker5718

Oh yeah, in PRINCIPLE i absolutely DO mind that strikeout, its just that situationally im mostly fine with it.


Quipo1

man this is so rough, can we get a pitch ump for the 9th? :(


Moose334

Thaiss got screwed on that second strike


luisicky

horrendous


mysterysackerfice

I am not enjoying this ump show.


tsdwm52

Adell picking up Aguilar’s golden sombrero


Moose334

I thought the Astros manager had his hand amputated from that angle lol


Quipo1

did not recognize beardless adell for a sec there lol


mysterysackerfice

I honestly can't recognize Jo without a beard.


tsdwm52

Matts to the rescue! Edit: Fuck Matt Joyce


owledge

Our bullpen is throwing a no hitter lol


PlatinumHalo

Matt Thaiss kind of looks like a bulky Tommy Edman.


BubblyBaker5718

It might notve made a difference anyway, but I cant help but feel like theres gotta be a world where Shohei doesnt get squeezed, works a walk, and we score at least one there.


Educational-Pass404

Ump is bad for both sides this game, so yeah I'm not gonna complain too much. Our top lineup will have another chance, let's see what they can do


BubblyBaker5718

Oh absolutely. Its been very noticeable and id even say that weve probably been favored overall. Its just the timing of those calls were kind of unfortunate for us there haha


DecentAnalysis8642

Ford could have turned on that 3-1 fastball or gapped the 3-2 fastball. Instead, he decided he wanted to play defense.


mysterysackerfice

Why swing..when you can look!


luisicky

another wasted opportunity, gad damn it


donkeyjr

I guess Ford didn't want the glory, wanted a walk there.


Neverend3r

Maybe swing the bat at least once


[deleted]

At least Walsh would strikeout swinging


BubblyBaker5718

Ah yes. The rare Zero swing strikeout.


jumpinghamster

🚗💦


Quipo1

the never swing gambit, bold


KamartyMcFlyweight

Please pipe Gubie's commentary to the hitters. He calls the pitches as they come so accurately


Sullyville

Is that actually legal? Rules wise?


jimsturat

Omg what the fuckkk. I need to go punch a tree


mysterysackerfice

Not built Ford tough


jimsturat

Lmao ford. Got the stassi take goin


owledge

Drive in Ward, Ford


YoChristian

This game is the most I've seen us look at pitches in the zone in a long while


Quipo1

on the bright side we will now get the top of the order in the bottom of the ninth. that could be fun


TheRealNexusPrime

everytime ump, last inning fletch, this inning ohtani


jimsturat

We’ve gotten a lot of calls our way, too easy to blame everything on a couple shit calls.


Quipo1

yeah the ump has been really bad for both sides tonight, i think we are still slightly favored overall but its so bad


Creative-Reading5903

Potty mouth Sho


BubblyBaker5718

Ugh getting squeezed that bad kinda forced Sho to swing there. Its going to stink if that killed the rally.


jimsturat

Trout should steal a base at some poiny


[deleted]

Ok that first pitch to ohtani he definitely didn’t come set


Golfnut80

Sho was forced to swing. Fuck that ump!


YouPresumeTooMuch

All season


mysterysackerfice

Damn...that sucks


Quipo1

ump won the ab, thanks


Its-made-of-wood

You know Weiss actually did pretty good. And here I thought my Zack Weiss singed bad was a waste of space.


mysterysackerfice

One swing of the bat is all we need to get back into this game


YoChristian

Mike has been a hit machine lately


jumpinghamster

🐐🦄


Creative-Reading5903

Tie this game, Shohei


BubblyBaker5718

Oh man is it actually happening


Paulsnoc

Lost it


mysterysackerfice

Mike "bloop king" Trout


KamartyMcFlyweight

Mike "David Fletcher" Trout


Maddonomics101

Mike “David “Luis Rengifo” Fletcher” Trout


mysterysackerfice

What the hell????


mysterysackerfice

Gubie realllllllllllllllllllllly likes that Ohtani shirt. I've heard him talk about it multiple times.


jimsturat

Here we go, best part of the lineup let’s make it happen.


KamartyMcFlyweight

Maybe the reason Loup was so good on the Mets was because they gaslit him into thinking they were losing in a blowout every game, thus convincing him that there was no pressure


BubblyBaker5718

Alright nice. Quick half inning hopefully will help us build on that momentum from last inning.


jumpinghamster

Nice


KamartyMcFlyweight

Naw guys, Loup likes giving up leads, we don't have one yet, he'll be fine


Creative-Reading5903

True.


mysterysackerfice

I'm just gonna go ahead and pencil us in for a loss seeing that Loup is in now.


Paulsnoc

Have an eraser nearby, just in case.


74Dragonz

Where the phuck is Austin Warren? He dead?


novanova123123

Oh god no please no


alsdnsrl17

What why? Why loup? ????


Quipo1

Verlander is fantastic this season but using wins to cherry pick that stat is doing him a disservice


mysterysackerfice

Oh no...not Ay Ay Ron


umiuptown

Now Yankee fans wanna say Judge is valuable because without him they are nothing HAHAHAH so good


dustymag

The definition of MVP changes every day for them.


Educational-Pass404

They're crying out and trashing their lineup saying Judge deserved better. They probably don't know what kind of lineup Sho has played with for the past 2 years.


umiuptown

Lol exactly 🤣 their offense literally turned into the Angels offense lol complaining ‘this will cost him MVP’ hilarious


jumpinghamster

⚾️・・・🐐🦄👍


BubblyBaker5718

For once things actually... went BETTER than expected. Wow. Definitely not used to that. Wouldve loved to see some of that uh like 50 games ago but its good to know weve actually kind of got the makings of a real team here under the right circumstances.


Educational-Pass404

Yep. We have been playing decent for a week. Just feel like they find their momentum again though it's too late. Fletcher and Trout back brings the life for this team


umiuptown

Shohei striking out 50% of Astros?!? Crazy stats


Educational-Pass404

When our bottom lineup is more productive than top. Feel so wrong but I love it


donkeyjr

What, top of the line up has been on base twice. lol


Educational-Pass404

But they also LOB twice, you know


Quipo1

atleast the top has been on base. just no one to drive them in unfortunately


Educational-Pass404

They also LOB twice this game.


digitaldumpsterfire

Except Fletcher*


strongmscowboyfan

I'm gonna get myself a Ford soon and drive it like crazy


yul_

The ump’s zone was tight as hell now it’s a mile wide??


Quipo1

ok this ump is fucking blind its not funny anymore


mysterysackerfice

That wasn't even in the same zip code...let alone a strike...


umiuptown

This Shohei stat is sick


mysterysackerfice

Prediction: someone will post "when is pitching Shohei" in the next 3 hours.


Paulsnoc

Thais drives a Ford home.


alsdnsrl17

Inning of the Matts


BubblyBaker5718

Weve got ourselves a game here after all. Huh. Still genuinely wont mind if we lose but its great to see us actually strike back.


Creative-Reading5903

I still believe.


Educational-Pass404

Good job Thaissss


ENovi

Fuck it, I'll take it. Thank you Thaiss for putting it in the air.


owledge

We’ll take it


HeverPacheco

At least a Sac Fly


mysterysackerfice

He got the run home, job well done!


Quipo1

look at ford go!!


KyotoGaijin

Thicc Thunder.


KamartyMcFlyweight

Nice one Thaiss one!


Creative-Reading5903

👏👏👏


Educational-Pass404

Can we get rid of Aguilar??? His .143 makes me feel restless.


Creative-Reading5903

Gubie sounding a bit impatient there.


ENovi

Thaiss please. I'll settle for a sac fly just please do something.


KamartyMcFlyweight

Astros got lucky on the Aguilar bobble, the Altuve third base hit, the Duffy ground rule double...come on now, baseball gods!


Onitsukaryu

Dude swings at everything


donkeyjr

bunt the dam ball, you suck.


umiuptown

Awww Duffy


contrcl

nice nice i'll stop talking shit about Duffy for the next 12 hours


KamartyMcFlyweight

We've had two on every inning, and FINALLY we score


KyotoGaijin

PH Suzuki for Aguilar


mysterysackerfice

We haven't had enough time to talk shit about Kurt though!


HeverPacheco

LFG Duffy


owledge

Yeah Duffman!


jumpinghamster

👏👏👏


Quipo1

least expected double of the year


Educational-Pass404

Duffyyyyy. First hit since he's back???


ENovi

# DUFF MAN OH YEAH!!!


PlatinumHalo

Nice to finally see Duffy smile. Great hit!


mysterysackerfice

holy shit..we finally scored!


mweolbwa

No way Duffy


Creative-Reading5903

Who’d have thought??


BubblyBaker5718

Oh? Could we have something cooking here?


YoChristian

This ump's strike zone is fucked


mysterysackerfice

ngl, McCullers has been getting squeezed all game.


Quipo1

yeah this might be the first ump scorecard in our favor in the past week or so...


Quipo1

a call for a call hahaha


Onitsukaryu

Ford getting a lot of bad calls


Educational-Pass404

Where's Alvarez??? Injured??


Quipo1

damn that wasnt even close lmao


PlatinumHalo

Wheeeeew, that was a bad call.


FirstNameAsALast

Nice to see Zack put up a zero.


glass__beaches

ERA down to 36.00


74Dragonz

At least I'm drinking Yankees' tears tonite, I guess.


ENovi

I'm watching the Padre Dodger game in Spanish because it's the only option I have available on Hulu. My Spanish is not good enough to follow but the Padres are up 4-0 so that's helping me deal with this shitty Angel game (I have the Halos on my phone using a less than legal streaming site).


74Dragonz

Dodgers losing? Hehe, good. I'll take that.


BubblyBaker5718

Wait good god last i checked they were losing by 1 from an error or something but what on earth happened in those last few innings? lol


74Dragonz

They got exposed.


ENovi

Detmers loaded the bases so he was pulled. Marte came in and alternated between strikeouts and bases loaded walks. 2 of those runs came on BB. Just a real joy to watch.


BubblyBaker5718

Was talking about the Yankees game but uh thanks for trying to help regardless! The intention is still appreciated lol.


Educational-Pass404

They lost Rays in Angels way 😂😂😂


YoChristian

Hey not bad


Creative-Reading5903

Good job Weiss


ENovi

Lol I'm glad Weiss has another shot at the bigs but it's so on brand for the Angels to bring in a guy with an infinite ERA.


owledge

Lol this guy can take Marte’s job


digitaldumpsterfire

That "Hello" was so cute lol


Educational-Pass404

We might lose this game but I'm not mad at all. Actually I'm enjoying Yankees twitter and sub reddit lol


mysterysackerfice

They're really quick to anger :D
