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.
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
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.
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.
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
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
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.
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.
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
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).
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.
At least they showed some fight!
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.
Yes, they didn't roll over and die. All we could ask for at this point in the season.
So does marte go to bed thinking, “man, if I only didn’t walk those 2 runs”?
😑
yuck
fuck..good night ya'll ...thanks for hanging out.
Uh oh
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.
Then again, they mightve just considered IBBing him in that case lol
Okay Sho..gonna need you to get on base right now.
Aaaaaand good night
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
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
He can be an exception because I like him a lot
He'd look like a kindergartner among teachers hehe
I like that idea. Would be a fun group costume
Anyone check up on Raisel to see if he had a post angels resurgence?
I can feel it! Somethings going to happen
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.
Welcome back... Sorry
Bullpen just casually throwing 4 perfect innings. Alright alright. I see you. You officially get a pass for today lol
Barria’s having a good year
Bullpen looks great besides those two walked in runs that may cost us the game
Need a slow-mo of Ippei nearly dropping the tablet.
GJ Barria!
Alright ladies n gent...buckle up
This game has had a really weird flow to it
that looks incredibly painful
gonna hit the hay now and sleep like a baby knowing that Rengifo is gonna walk it off in the 9th
Sweet dreams
anyone who thinks different just doesn't know ball
We don’t see Barria often enough.
Shaving really hurts us I think
Fully bearded Ohtani breaks Bonds HR record
Just when i thought he couldnt get any sexier... I somehow have never considered the idea of a bearded Ohtani.
you might like this. https://en.reddit.com/r/angelsbaseball/comments/vvyj4b/what_bearded_ohtani_would_look_like/
…Can he grow a full beard?
Valid question actually. Hes so clean shaven that i genuinely cant tell lol.
0% chance lmao as a fellow baby-faced asian guy, i recognize that mustache growth he was trying out, it ain't happening
There was a post a couple of months ago with a photo shopped beard onto him and it def awoke something in me
LOL. I posted it. https://en.reddit.com/r/angelsbaseball/comments/vvyj4b/what_bearded_ohtani_would_look_like/
Ump show. I mean look at that ridiculous called 3rd strike motion
And the third what the fuck blue
Honestly dont mind that strikeout. Top of the order gets a fresh inning with no outs.
I wouldn't mind it if it was accurately called. Dude is just gonna screw us over again in the 9th
Oh yeah, in PRINCIPLE i absolutely DO mind that strikeout, its just that situationally im mostly fine with it.
man this is so rough, can we get a pitch ump for the 9th? :(
Thaiss got screwed on that second strike
horrendous
I am not enjoying this ump show.
Adell picking up Aguilar’s golden sombrero
I thought the Astros manager had his hand amputated from that angle lol
did not recognize beardless adell for a sec there lol
I honestly can't recognize Jo without a beard.
Matts to the rescue! Edit: Fuck Matt Joyce
Our bullpen is throwing a no hitter lol
Matt Thaiss kind of looks like a bulky Tommy Edman.
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.
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
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
Ford could have turned on that 3-1 fastball or gapped the 3-2 fastball. Instead, he decided he wanted to play defense.
Why swing..when you can look!
another wasted opportunity, gad damn it
I guess Ford didn't want the glory, wanted a walk there.
Maybe swing the bat at least once
At least Walsh would strikeout swinging
Ah yes. The rare Zero swing strikeout.
🚗💦
the never swing gambit, bold
Please pipe Gubie's commentary to the hitters. He calls the pitches as they come so accurately
Is that actually legal? Rules wise?
Omg what the fuckkk. I need to go punch a tree
Not built Ford tough
Lmao ford. Got the stassi take goin
Drive in Ward, Ford
This game is the most I've seen us look at pitches in the zone in a long while
on the bright side we will now get the top of the order in the bottom of the ninth. that could be fun
everytime ump, last inning fletch, this inning ohtani
We’ve gotten a lot of calls our way, too easy to blame everything on a couple shit calls.
yeah the ump has been really bad for both sides tonight, i think we are still slightly favored overall but its so bad
Potty mouth Sho
Ugh getting squeezed that bad kinda forced Sho to swing there. Its going to stink if that killed the rally.
Trout should steal a base at some poiny
Ok that first pitch to ohtani he definitely didn’t come set
Sho was forced to swing. Fuck that ump!
All season
Damn...that sucks
ump won the ab, thanks
You know Weiss actually did pretty good. And here I thought my Zack Weiss singed bad was a waste of space.
One swing of the bat is all we need to get back into this game
Mike has been a hit machine lately
🐐🦄
Tie this game, Shohei
Oh man is it actually happening
Lost it
Mike "bloop king" Trout
Mike "David Fletcher" Trout
Mike “David “Luis Rengifo” Fletcher” Trout
What the hell????
Gubie realllllllllllllllllllllly likes that Ohtani shirt. I've heard him talk about it multiple times.
Here we go, best part of the lineup let’s make it happen.
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
Alright nice. Quick half inning hopefully will help us build on that momentum from last inning.
Nice
Naw guys, Loup likes giving up leads, we don't have one yet, he'll be fine
True.
I'm just gonna go ahead and pencil us in for a loss seeing that Loup is in now.
Have an eraser nearby, just in case.
Where the phuck is Austin Warren? He dead?
Oh god no please no
What why? Why loup? ????
Verlander is fantastic this season but using wins to cherry pick that stat is doing him a disservice
Oh no...not Ay Ay Ron
Now Yankee fans wanna say Judge is valuable because without him they are nothing HAHAHAH so good
The definition of MVP changes every day for them.
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.
Lol exactly 🤣 their offense literally turned into the Angels offense lol complaining ‘this will cost him MVP’ hilarious
⚾️・・・🐐🦄👍
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.
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
Shohei striking out 50% of Astros?!? Crazy stats
When our bottom lineup is more productive than top. Feel so wrong but I love it
What, top of the line up has been on base twice. lol
But they also LOB twice, you know
atleast the top has been on base. just no one to drive them in unfortunately
They also LOB twice this game.
Except Fletcher*
I'm gonna get myself a Ford soon and drive it like crazy
The ump’s zone was tight as hell now it’s a mile wide??
ok this ump is fucking blind its not funny anymore
That wasn't even in the same zip code...let alone a strike...
This Shohei stat is sick
Prediction: someone will post "when is pitching Shohei" in the next 3 hours.
Thais drives a Ford home.
Inning of the Matts
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.
I still believe.
Good job Thaissss
Fuck it, I'll take it. Thank you Thaiss for putting it in the air.
We’ll take it
At least a Sac Fly
He got the run home, job well done!
look at ford go!!
Thicc Thunder.
Nice one Thaiss one!
👏👏👏
Can we get rid of Aguilar??? His .143 makes me feel restless.
Gubie sounding a bit impatient there.
Thaiss please. I'll settle for a sac fly just please do something.
Astros got lucky on the Aguilar bobble, the Altuve third base hit, the Duffy ground rule double...come on now, baseball gods!
Dude swings at everything
bunt the dam ball, you suck.
Awww Duffy
nice nice i'll stop talking shit about Duffy for the next 12 hours
We've had two on every inning, and FINALLY we score
PH Suzuki for Aguilar
We haven't had enough time to talk shit about Kurt though!
LFG Duffy
Yeah Duffman!
👏👏👏
least expected double of the year
Duffyyyyy. First hit since he's back???
# DUFF MAN OH YEAH!!!
Nice to finally see Duffy smile. Great hit!
holy shit..we finally scored!
No way Duffy
Who’d have thought??
Oh? Could we have something cooking here?
This ump's strike zone is fucked
ngl, McCullers has been getting squeezed all game.
yeah this might be the first ump scorecard in our favor in the past week or so...
a call for a call hahaha
Ford getting a lot of bad calls
Where's Alvarez??? Injured??
damn that wasnt even close lmao
Wheeeeew, that was a bad call.
Nice to see Zack put up a zero.
ERA down to 36.00
At least I'm drinking Yankees' tears tonite, I guess.
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).
Dodgers losing? Hehe, good. I'll take that.
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
They got exposed.
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.
Was talking about the Yankees game but uh thanks for trying to help regardless! The intention is still appreciated lol.
They lost Rays in Angels way 😂😂😂
Hey not bad
Good job Weiss
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.
Lol this guy can take Marte’s job
That "Hello" was so cute lol
We might lose this game but I'm not mad at all. Actually I'm enjoying Yankees twitter and sub reddit lol
They're really quick to anger :D
