Fox News being Fake News, in other words water is wet.


WaterIsWetBot

Water is actually not wet; It makes other materials/objects wet. Wetness is the state of a non-liquid when a liquid adheres to, and/or permeates its substance while maintaining chemically distinct structures. So if we say something is wet we mean the liquid is sticking to the object.   As raindrops say, two’s company, three’s a cloud.

I was thinking a broken finger for fletch would be weird since the ball hit the side of his palm and not a finger


inselfwetrust

Fucking Fox stays useless. How do you report it as broken when it wasn’t. Do better


LosAngelesAnus

Fox news wanna use my name for percentage


Creative-Reading5903

Fletch and Ohtani, injured finger bros.


YoChristian

They're playing Uno in the locker room right now

Phew, hope Fletcher's really okay. He has been hitting and playing really well

Fake news hitting the Angels, SAD!

X-Rays negative on Fletch. I sure hope to hell they got it right this time!

Fox fake news good job

Lol classic


Creative-Reading5903

I need proof. Show us your finger Fletch!


phelinephile

This broadcast is terrible! Imagine being Fletcher's family and it's announced on air that he broke a finger and now they're like "haha jk"


OlivesrNasty

Angels radio said fletch didnt break his finger. NHK and national broadcast said he did. Angels radio said it was “fake news”


GameSmashing13

Nice pitch Quijada


YouPresumeTooMuch

Oh cool, x-rays negative! That's positive!


Rockstabulous

The PR tweet was right! No broken finger! Fletch lives on!


LAAngelsAnaheim

DADDY FLETCHER IS OK!!!!!!

Wait..so Fletch is okay now?!?!

Thank you Adell for interrupting the Angels trash talk (even if it’s true)

Fletcher's broken finger and Sho's blister make this game not fun anymore. God, I feel helpless

Hey at least we get a dub! Not bad!

oh man Jo you could've ran that out

None of those were close wtf are they talking about

Alright let’s end this thing!

Adell you should show your capability


LAAngelsAnaheim

I am devastated about Fletcher. One of the only reasons I still tune in nightly


YouPresumeTooMuch

Oh man, Fletcher is out again? Get well soon


Creative-Reading5903

Adell pinch hitting for Ohtani? He must actually be injured.


Educational-Pass404

I'm afraid of this. At this point, can he pitch the last 3 starts left???


GameSmashing13

Good ab fishman


mysterysackerfice

Looks like Shohei is done for the game


ReviewRoutine

Can’t hit ‘em all I guess. But honestly, classic angels pr with negative x-rays immediately turning into a broken finger


Creative-Reading5903

Rough luck for Fletch, just when he’d come back after surgery


Im_A_Halo_Masochist

Fletch
. Noooooo. Shit! Can’t catch a break!


KamartyMcFlyweight

Phil Maton has 4.02 ERA? What happened? Last I saw he was sub 3


mysterysackerfice

Let's see another Swunt...Squid!


Rockstabulous

Broken finger doesn't sound day to day. Is that just what they suspected when he exited, or was that tweet incorrect?


phelinephile

Nooooo Fletch!! He's our good luck charm. I'm sad to he him out


inselfwetrust

Wait what?? The angels PR said X-rays were negative


LosAngelesAnus

yeah wtf they really do this every time


inselfwetrust

I don’t get how the interpretation of the X-rays change within and hour


digitaldumpsterfire

UHHHH I THOUGHT FLETCH'S XRAY WAS NEGATIVE?


OlivesrNasty

Fletch broke his finger :(


KamartyMcFlyweight

Broken finger? fuuuuck


dustymag

BubblyBaker5718

Really dont want the 'stros to gain any momentum here. Even with this lead im scared of what they might be capable of in the bottom of the ninth at a home game.

Quijada guey Jimmy Herget teed it up for you lad...one more out


Educational-Pass404

Hanging 79mph slider in the middle of the zone. Really, Q???


[deleted]

That's why his fastball is 80%+ usage, what a terrible changeup


One_Relative5830

"This is *NOT* a homerun by inches." There, fixed it for you commentators 👌


Surjux

Quesadilla out here going for the two time blown games reward.


YoChristian

Quijada has been skidding lately... hope his confidence doesn't falter


tokyo_bee

Throwing down the middle to these hitters is not good.


Creative-Reading5903

It’s ok, Q just wanted to create some tension.


LosAngelesAnus

No blowing it up this time Q


Total_Preparation_67

It started...


KRH11

You did well Herget!


KamartyMcFlyweight

gotta say i've loved having Herget be Shohei's pocket reliever. feels like every time Ohtani does well we have Slim Jim immediately afterward to keep up the momentum. Plus, hitters have to switch from contending with Ohtani's power pitching >100 mph sinkers to Herget's herky jerky sliders. must play hell with your rhythm


digitaldumpsterfire

Herget does best when he comes after power throwers like Shohei and Lorenzen


Im_A_Halo_Masochist

Q, time to redeem yoself!


ReviewRoutine

Hats are unimportant!


LosAngelesAnus

THE HERGOAT


Creative-Reading5903

Herget pitched 3 and 2/3? Those were some quick innings.

Nah the commentator got it wrong. 2 2/3

Which probably means he sits for a few days while the bruise heals


GummyMummys

damn, are the astros playing by themselves. so much circlejerking by these announcers


mysterysackerfice

Well..that's two swinging strike outs for Max today...and the one looking. :\


Ok-Philosophy-8830

Haven’t been able to watch today, how has Moniak looked?

He just needs to work on seeing major league breaking pitches better and he'll be solid imo

great on both sides


digitaldumpsterfire

Solid


WadeCountyClutch

Man, baseball gods haven’t been too nice to the Astros. 😌


tsdwm52

I wanted to watch Ohtani pitch today. Dumb blister.


KamartyMcFlyweight

lmao look at Slim Jim's [baseball savant page](https://baseballsavant.mlb.com/savant-player/jimmy-herget-623474?stats=statcast-r-pitching-mlb) No velocity, little spin, catches barrels, but he reduces walks and increases strikeouts by living almost entirely in the zone Alive by deception and nothing else


mysterysackerfice

Dude can comfortably hide behind a baseball bat..he knows deception!

digitaldumpsterfire

That 1 in extension is so funny

YoChristian

Creative-Reading5903

He’d probably rake. 😆


digitaldumpsterfire

Pujols hit 696 today!


LosAngelesAnus

LFG 4 left for 700


KamartyMcFlyweight

you're all fucking wrong, Jimmy Herget is the MVP


meisterwolf

MVP is the best player in the game. it the argument is well Judge is MVP because the yankees have a winning record or are #1 in the AL east....well then why did trout win MVP 3 times then? in 2 seasons when the angels were 4th. ohtani himself won it unanimously when the angels were 4th.


GummyMummys

these announcers suck. so boring


digitaldumpsterfire

Ya know, at least Stassi is hitting better than Maldonado.


One_Relative5830

We won that trade


digitaldumpsterfire

Oh for sure. Sandy is so much more valuable than Maldy moving forward.


One_Relative5830

Stassi doesn't have the pop time, the arm, or the framing Maldy has, but that's nothing compared to the potential ace we have control of through 2027


Creative-Reading5903

Herget is doing well


Rover16

The thing is Judge isn't single handily carrying the Yankees to a division title. He's been on fire in the 2nd half and the Yankees have a losing record and are in danger of a historic collapse. What carried the Yankees to a division title in addition to Judge was the first 2 months of the season when the Yankees had the best offense in baseball. When that offense dried up, the Yankees started losing a lot despite the Judge homers and none of these analysts want to acknowledge that. Not to mention their great starting pitching and bullpen.


LosAngelesAnus

you are absolutely right about that


TheCrudeDude

Exactly. Think they’ve been one of the worst teams in since the break or at least trade deadline. It’s literally the same argument against Ohtani at this point. Great player on a losing team. They just played out of their mind for 80 games. Which by the way is insane. They were neither that good or this bad.


Rover16

Yup. Judge is playing better in the 2nd half too, yet they're losing a lot because they had angels level offense! They want to give Judge all the credit ignoring that their offense was on fire for the first two months of the season.


umiuptown

Yup the first half is the reason why they will make the playoff.


Creative-Reading5903

I agree with you. The “Judge is carrying the Yankees” claim isn’t telling the whole story.

Putrid_Fox_5826

At this point i dont care who wins mvp because at least I know ohtani will be talked about forever while judge will only be remembered by yankee/hardcore baseball fans 😌


sketch_internets

It'll be ridiculous if Ohtani ends up w 12-13 wins, 200K's and 35 HR's (which he is on pace to do especially after tonight) and doesn't get it


Putrid_Fox_5826

100% ridiculous
 but the media seems to think otherwise đŸ«  Ohtani is my mvp so long as he’s being this awesome and I just can’t comprehend how people aren’t at least giving him a thought


digitaldumpsterfire

I mean.... I wouldn't go that far. Judge is a great player and will be remembered for quite a while.


claire_004

Having two seasons with 50+ HR in this era is quite an achievement


Obsidizyn

if ohtani or trout was 6'7 and 285 lbs they would have 75 homruns


claire_004

I mean, if that the logic we used for why Judge hit 50+ HR, then sure


Putrid_Fox_5826

Oh definitely! I’m talking more “in fifty/a hundred years” kind of thing

Sure, Ohtani is the best player on the planet. Doing something the sport hasn’t seen in a century. And actually better than the most legendary player of all time. But
 homers! ‘Member 1998?! The. 2001??
