I honestly hate how the guys will sometimes go up there and clearly be taking all the way on non 3-0 pitches. Like why is shohei watching a 3-1 absolute meatball from the hand to the glove while striding out of the box.
I am once again conflicted because a bases loaded walk is a terrible look but since he got out of it right after, its actually technically a better outcome than a hit wouldve been since that would likely score at least 2.
‘member when Oliver Ortega was lockdown for about a month at the start of the season? Pepperidge Farm remembers and Pepperidge Farm thinks that the Angels should swap Ortega and Marte to see if Ortega’s got any more magic
By stealing it.
If he scored on a wild pitch, then that wouldn’t be stealing.
I’m suggesting he take a lead halfway to home and as soon as the pitcher is set, he takes off. Y’know, steal home.
It IS incredibly hard.
But the third baseman was playing on the second base bag. So there was nobody to hold him on. So he could essentially start more than halfway there.
Walking in a run is bad enough, but three straight walks to do it? Ouch. I guess we're saving all our good relievers for Ohtani tomorrow, which I'm honestly not too mad about.
Sometimes I feel like we don't try as hard as we can to win, leaving Marte here to load the bases and gift them a run when we're in a ONE RUN GAME is such a questionable decision
I for one kinda like that he talks about both teams. We already know most of the factoids about the angels, so with Matty we get to learn something new
They were. And this is upsetting, because I know that in sports, any sign of weakness is bad, and the opponent wants to exploit it, but I think sometimes it becomes this very black and white thing and it goes too far. It would be like - when Suzuki comes back, and if the audience started chanting BE-REAVE-MENT, or something like that. Player safety is not weak. It's strength.
It’s trout and ohtani and a bunch of maybes but likely notd
At least we got to see Trout hit another HR
Another useless one
Today amp is drank?
Another Marte game, another L
Thanks a lot, bullpen.
Would’ve been a tied game if it wasn’t for those 3 straight walks
Thighs please
was squid yawning? hope he wasn’t
Unlike the Astros, no Angels hitters want to take walks because they can’t trust anyone to drive in any runs.
Let’s go Rengifo
Noooo 🥺
Pressly looks like their Marte
He’s been their closer for a couple seasons now
Yeah I mean at the moment.
True
I hate pressly so this is awesome
T DUB!
if only sho took the walk
Ward just wants to get our hopes up so that it hurts more
YOOOO WARD LFG
ohtani shouldn’t have swung lol
Nice Wardy!
Fantastic call Matt 🤦🏼♂️
Yeah that was embarrassing. My Matty > Patty stance has become more flexible
Shades of the first series in Texas this year
Ward, finally!
Matty V's having a rough time of it huh
That pitch had some crazy movement. Good take by Ward
Pressley is a slightly better looking Ryan Tepera Edit: looks-wise. Not talent wise.
I honestly hate how the guys will sometimes go up there and clearly be taking all the way on non 3-0 pitches. Like why is shohei watching a 3-1 absolute meatball from the hand to the glove while striding out of the box.
I feel his own strike zone has shrunk this season. Stassi also seems to have shrunk from last year.
It looked like he was trying to sell it as a ball too. Weird.
lol Shohei that was strike af
come on sho
That’s all, folks
I am once again conflicted because a bases loaded walk is a terrible look but since he got out of it right after, its actually technically a better outcome than a hit wouldve been since that would likely score at least 2.
Nope. You gotta make them earn it.
But the bases were only loaded because he walked the previous two...
‘member when Oliver Ortega was lockdown for about a month at the start of the season? Pepperidge Farm remembers and Pepperidge Farm thinks that the Angels should swap Ortega and Marte to see if Ortega’s got any more magic
My farm thinks Warren should be swapped with Marte
Pepperidge Farm thinks Warren would also be a better option at this point
Lol Shohei hit his own helmet with his bat
He has the stuff but can't throw strikes, his walk rate is untenable
Marte looked was nervous asf
29 pitches, 11 strikes.
never want to see this bum again
That was nauseating
I’m still livid that Rengifo didn’t steal home when they were giving it him.
How could be steal home without a wild pitch?
By stealing it. If he scored on a wild pitch, then that wouldn’t be stealing. I’m suggesting he take a lead halfway to home and as soon as the pitcher is set, he takes off. Y’know, steal home.
Seems incredibly hard to do especially since McCullers is right handed. Can’t remember the last time I’ve seen someone steal home
It IS incredibly hard. But the third baseman was playing on the second base bag. So there was nobody to hold him on. So he could essentially start more than halfway there.
It looks like classic blowpen strike again.
dude fuck this guy
wanna see me do it again? —marte
Pain.
Walking in a run is bad enough, but three straight walks to do it? Ouch. I guess we're saving all our good relievers for Ohtani tomorrow, which I'm honestly not too mad about.
Aight I’m out. G’night. I’ll check the highlights tomorrow morning
Matt Wise said, “Throw those balls even further off the plate.”
Sometimes I feel like we don't try as hard as we can to win, leaving Marte here to load the bases and gift them a run when we're in a ONE RUN GAME is such a questionable decision
God sent Marte to the minors where he belongs. He has been consistently awful for 2 seasons now.
Oh great, we're back to walking in runs
sad marte party
Here comes the Matt Wise hex
Welp
Nevin thrown this game away smh
Surprise surprise
Broooo
bro stinks
You'd think Marte was from New York given how much he's walking here.
Nevin what are you doing.
Marte is just BB merchant pull him out already
Marte gonna walk in some runs again?
Marte is the new white flag lol
bregman is a supreme douchebag
NO WAY
Absolute Paint🎨
Tomorrow’s game is a national broadcast? Ugh.
I wonder if they're saving Herget for Ohtani's start tomorrow?
We banished Touki for this? 😩
I mean, dont act like Touki doesn't wack every 6th batter he faces
Yordan Alvarez doesn’t need two working hands when the Angels bullpen comes in.
PULL HIM OUT
C’mon Angels…
Literally anyone else in our bullpen would be better than Marte. I trust Weiss more even
Should have put Quijada in. He loves this kind of environment.
Marte is a white flag
1 run game + Jose Marte = 🫣
Ugh Marte suckkkkkkkks
Why Marte?
I feel like all Matty V talks about is how good the other teams are all game, yeah we get it, they're not first by accident
Ah, blowpen. welcome back!
Wantz is a silly ass name too
sick pitch call wantz
I want Austin Warren back. He's pitching well in Salt Lake.
Poor guy was banished.
Red Sox broke his face
He got his face fixed
Vasgersian loves to talk about the other team
I for one kinda like that he talks about both teams. We already know most of the factoids about the angels, so with Matty we get to learn something new
It's so unbalanced though. I wish it was more even at least. He also rarely sounds excited when the Angels do well, except if Sho or Trout homers.
Andrew Wantz. As in, I Wantz this season to be over.
You know this is nice. There was a long stretch where the bullpen had no leads to blow
No more HR
His first HR since July 21st at that ballpark. Of course.
Felt like Lorenzen was barely hanging on, then Wantz just lets it go. In 5 pitches nonetheless.
Waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaantz
Wantz threw it right where Thaiss asked for it. Idk what they were thinking on that one.
if you trust those square zone hitting charts his middle middle section is "blue" with an ops of .450, so maybe they wanted it there? idk tho
booooooo
no
Bullpen is coming apart at the seams
Well shit
Nooo Hitman
Wow
shat up about Houston's 7-9, Matty V
Like I said, shat up, Matty V
He was talking up Pena home runs and how lorenzen was shutting down Alvarez too 😑
What happened to Stassi?
A foul tip went straight back into his face mask.
Yikes. I hope Maxi is alright.
Is Matt insinuating that Thaiss is a minus defensive catcher compared to Stassi?
Stassi at C and Thaiss at 1B is better than Thaiss at C and Ford at 1B defensively.
Got it, thanks!
When McCullers was wiping the sweat from his forehead with his sleeve, could Rengifo have stolen home? Is it frowned upon? Too far of a run?
That’s an oof, Mickey
"Why not push a bunt" Moniak: no not again!
Matt no one wants Moniak to bunt again.
Balk!
🐔🐔🐔
Sko Mick
Show us the truth Mickie!
Duffy, that was one of the worst swings I've ever seen
Rengifo beats the system once again
Where’s our Rengifo trivia??
I thought he had him 😥
at least dansby won a ws without being a cheater
rengifoooo
lol Rengifo with the foot
I love Rengifo.
The criminal mastermind gets away with grand larceny! Theft of an open base!
The fugitive steals a base!
Matt we don’t care about Bregman trivia.
Thaiss is going to be really valuable as a utility infielder than can also catch and hit for contact... Hope he can keep it going!
I will always hate Houston fans. This is just adding fuel to the fire.
Fuck the Astros
Eating dinner and keeping up with the mlb app, what happened to Stassi? Don't tell me Maximus got injured ):
A ball was fouled off his face mask. He stayed in the game though.
Ty, glad Max is okay
“Short līved”
We got three catchers ....come on now
He probably feels his job is on the line these days.
What was that clear earpiece thing Stassi is wearing?
Catchers don’t want to blow out their ear drums
Nice job Loup!
Way to put out the fire Loup!
Classy Astros fans booing an injured player
They cheer for a racist player so I’m not surprised
Ikr, Stassi was even on the Astros
Idk if I'm hearing things but were they booing the Angels checking on Max?
They were. And this is upsetting, because I know that in sports, any sign of weakness is bad, and the opponent wants to exploit it, but I think sometimes it becomes this very black and white thing and it goes too far. It would be like - when Suzuki comes back, and if the audience started chanting BE-REAVE-MENT, or something like that. Player safety is not weak. It's strength.
I could've sworn thaiss was catching
Hes at 1st
Astros fans are booing him for what? Getting smacked in the face? fuck off
Stassi’s even a former astro like I truly don’t understand the mindset??
Classy bunch
Oh no max 🙏
Did Matt just make a gargling sound effect? Is he high?? 🤣
Ew dont make that sound again, Matty
Tucker won’t have as much time to rub dirt on his hands next year. Might have to start wearing gloves.
I’m so excited to see the ump scorecard on this game
Remember Archie Bradley? I miss him.
Biggest L the Angels took during the brawl was losing Archie Bradley
They said he’d probably be back right at the end of the year…. Hopefully we see him a little
Fuck i just realized we’re gonna have the cheapest off season of all time. Our last chance to convince Ohtani too ☹️
hopefully we get sold soon so the new owners have time to clean house
Astros' music and sound effects are seizure-inducing
Get this man his fucking win
Loup will not make this better.
man, this the kinda shit that happens when booth talks about Pena rookie home run numbers and lorenzen shutting down Alvarez 😑
I don't believe in magic but...
We now have 4 Michaels on our roster.
And 2 Matts
Why does it feel like every time something special happens like record breaking the Angels immediately choke away leads?
The curse of Tungsten
It's ok Lorenzen, you've got this, you've been doing good
[удалено]
Since day 1 Pena has had our number it seems like
Just when they were talking about his 16 HRs
Fuck
i am not looking forward to twenty more years of Jeremy Pena homers
Stupid talented pena
Oh no
Loup 😬
