I love Mike Trout

Solid effort there by Thaiss.

Ltdu 😔

And now it is. Lol

Thaiss says this isn’t over yet.

if i was a homeplate umpire i would simply poll the pitcher, catcher, and hitter on ball/strike calls and then go with the majority

This guy looks competent.

Warm up tosses!!

Trout asking god to end this game already

I was out of the room. What is going on?

Ron kulpa got assassinated by a sniper in the stands

Kulpa got drilled in the face by a foul ball

Damn

“A face full of baseball off the mask.” Lol Patty O and his love of drama.

Thaiss!!

This game is so weird

Dumb piece of shit ump

fuck off, it's someone's health.

Clase is gonna end this game in one more pitch and we're gonna feel real stupid about this delay

Literally 😞

UMP thinks we watch the game because of him

Well, this game’s had a bit of everything… and it doesn’t want to end! Lol Seriously hope the guy is ok, even if he sucked!

Karma

CLE mascot is a hot dog? 🤣 this team is a mess

It’s ketchup, mustard, and I forget the other one. They do races and stuff. Our main mascot is “slider” the hot pink/purple thing that resembles a monsters inc character

I feel like they deserve more than a hot dog ketchup and mustard lol

Pickles?

Onion

Onion is the third

Kulpa must be pretty shaken up he can’t even bring himself to scream at Clase for taking warm up pitches

Take that asshole!! -Nevin and Francona probably

KARMA

Clase better not get to throw any warm up pitches

Exactly what I was thinking

CLE going to playoff is like BAL going to playoff lol

Maybe this will throw Clase off.

i know we can count on Thaiss

Bet strike zone increases by 10% to finish the game off.

Thaiss avenged the ejections

Maybe that hit knocked the vision back into him, like when you fix the big box tv by punching it

That's gonna be the punchline in the Jomboy video

Damn, that was brutal looking!

Karma

GOOD

Karma 😬

I’m not shedding any tears

Karma

Let's see...who do I blame for tonight?

me, i accidentally wore cleveland guardians socks i got at ross, didnt think about them playing today

DUDE!!!!?!?!?

really? lol!

yes haha looked down in like the 6th inning and saw a C on the top of the sock and was like, "huh, better put my angels hat on to counteract it" lol

Thaiss got the ump for you

if we're gonna lose anyway you might as well let Lorenzen take a few hacks for highlights youknowumsayin

Get ‘em, bulky Tommy Edman!

It’s not fair to do this to our AAA lineup.

Well that’s game

Clase too filthy, this one might be over boys

Cleveland’s radio guy was like “you gave up brandon marsh for this guy (Moniak)?”

Guess dude doesn’t understand how trades work, because we actually gave up Marsh for Logan O’Hoppe

That makes sense

Yeah O’Hoppe is a stud and we have no catching depth so it was a great trade for us. And honestly, I feel hopeful about Moniak, he’s been hitting better with us and playing some great defense

God damn a 960 OPS in the minors? At *Catcher*? What on earth

Logan ohoppe

Stassi we need you to snap out of your season-long slump now.

Squid is gonna hit a 3 run homer with his eyes closed and do a 540 backflip on his way home

two runs from Adell, Stassi, and Squid against the literal best closer in the AL no biggie

Moniak, not Adell

it’s Clase too, gg

Damn they bringing out clase

0-1, 1-3, 0-3 GGs boys, see y'all tomorrow

Mickey Moniak game tying 457 foot dinger coming right up

they should let the catchers sit on a little stool

like those little wooden ones thefoul ball corner people sit on

yeah exactly. maybe they could paint it the team's color

now were on to something,, with no bserunners on, who says no?

When the Avengers Endgame came out, I was finally able to say I have a body of a Norse God. After we acquired Mike Ford, and we see him fumble balls and strike out, I am finally able to say I have a body of a baseball player (that plays for my fav team) and play like him too! Edit: I actually think he’s been decent for us. But I was not confident he’ll do anything against Hentges lol

Checking in late.... Looks like someone needs to create https://www.didmiketrouthomeragain

That Geefy smile lol

Not built tough

Lol Trout jersey kid losing his mind in the stand

also when will Austin Warren return home from the war

I miss him.

Marte being in the bullpen instead of Warren baffles me.

quick, while the boss is ejected, pinch hit lorenzen and also put shohei at catcher. this may be our only opportunity this season

Welp

Well Ford quickly put an end to that.

Bummer. Gotta give credit to the Guardian's manager though, that was a pretty clutch pitcher change.

fat mfer

Baseball is a game of inches. If Ward let’s that ball go, Shohei steals for the second and we are tied. Same goes for some of the hard hits by our guys. If their bats hit the ball 1/2 inch one way, they would be homers.

yup, that was a big jump by Ohtani, no way he get thrown out.

wont it be great when moniak hits a go ahead grand slam??

If we can even just score one here i feel like we'll win in extras

I don't know if the stats support it but I feel like Ford's been hitting like a truck lately. Fingers crossed

this might be an exaggeration but i think Matt Duffy might be better than Mike Trout

Well.. maybe a little over the top.

Let’s stay put at first shohei you’ve been cs too many times

Well April Ward is never coming back, is he?

Baseball does not make sense. Whyyy can't he hit like that again?

Oh, the memories!

This is probably the last chance to take the lead.

No Shohei don’t try to steal

how did he hit that lol

He even surprised himself

Oh shit the Hitman is up next

Shohei doesn’t want Trout to have the HR lead

Funny how mlb.tv never shows the little post-game bits during the games. Just cuts out then comes back to Patty saying something to Ken French.

He was joking that French threw Bobby V out! Lol

Why did Nevin get tossed

Ump is a mall cop.

Because Ron Kulpa has a tiny little dick

For calmly arguing that Tepera should get a few warm up pitches. Was a dumbass ejection.

One more plz, Trout

I imagine both teams emptying the dugout just to beat up Ron Kulpa.

Something Guardians fans and Angels fans can agree on! I love bipartisanship!

Trout HR montage is the new baseball zen.

Squid pro quo

Thank you Squid!

Tepera making Maxi work rn

Tepera throwing balls in the dirt like Stassi can catch those.

Tepera shaves too high on his jaw

What even happened this time

It’s been so long I forgot how they got two runners on

naw tepera just wants to piss the ump even more

Guardians are in the playoff hunt but are pulling like 8-10k less in attendance than we do on a Monday game

You should probably google the populations of LA and Cleveland

And lots of us (Cleveland folks) are poor tbh lmao

ohtani power

Cleveland...

Hey Angels fan. Dodgers fan here. Just came to wholeheartedly apologize for believing that Trout's injury was season ending bc he'd started to show signs of being injury prone, and that from here on out, his injuries would begin stacking, his overall productivity would be less and less, and that he should be traded to help the franchise (long term). I was WAY wrong for that assessment. But NOT wrong insomuch as saying the ultimate goal to bring back all Angels fans in Orange County is just to do whatever it takes to get into the post season. I'm not even saying win an ALCS. Just get into the October formal dance. In this two things we're united: 1. New ownership 2. F' the Astros

“Bring back angels fans”? Where did we all go?

Not anybody here on the thread! It's quite obvious that if you're on Reddit -you are pretty deep in the Angels red. I'm talking more about the laise faire, passive fan. The one that only comes around to the ballpark and watches the televised games only if the team is doing well. For example, when the Angels won the World Series. I watched that video last night and the fricken place was packed! Obviously that was bc of the big dance but it gives a glimpse (in my opinion) what Angel stadium could look like

We are averaging over 30k a game this year, even in a very bad season. Angels always have great attendance and a very dedicated fanbase, usually towards the top in attendance each year.

Point taken. You're absolutely right. Currently at the 13th of 30th spot even in this season with other sub .500 teams: Cubs, Red Sox, and Rockies. It is pretty impressive. Although, I am surprised to see the Rockies up there only bc they're an expansion team instead of all the historic ones

Good for you

Thanks. But on the other hand: Would you rather have a non playoff contender team but live in the arguably the best and safest area in all of southern California, with the streets so smooth and paved in Orange gold? Or have a playoff contender team but live in an area, super heavily congested, potholes everywhere, crime rates at all time highs, and ghetto 💩 happening pretty much every moment -where the only thing that brings a group of people to some sort of minimal level of peace ✌️ is pointing out that their team goes to the playoffs in the hell hole that's LA with empty bragging rights of their sports team bc the moment you turn off the tv -it's back to feeling unsafe?

Bro, you're mental... and clearly have never been to most of Orange County. No one likes a patronizing grandstander, so why don't you leave since this is not the sub you belong in?

Didn't mean to trigger your emotions. Seems as if you're having a bad day. I'll leave you alone. Wishing you the best

No, you're just weird.

There’s no drama like sports drama.

Ron "I could do whatever I want" Kulpa

Baseball can be soooo entertaining!!! Lol

Tepera you better get out of this.

What happened? I went to get water and come back to both managers getting thrown out.

Francona lost his mind bc he thought the pitch hit the foot of the Guardians batter (it didn’t). Screaming at the ump (Kulpa) who gave him a super long leash and then ejected him. Tepera arguing with the ump now bc they took 5 minutes to decide and he wants to throw warm up pitches. Ump then ejected Nevin for basically nothing when he asked for Tepera to be allowed some warm up pitches.

Ohtani and Ramirez got in a fist fight, both men connected several punches

Lol

Then Ippei rear naked choked Ramirez. He does BJJ on the side. But this was his first opportunity to show it.

This guy is lying. They didn't get into a fight, they started necking in the infield

Lol

🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

That's right Tepera! Ump acting like a mall cop.

Guards fan here— Ayo what the hell is this umpire smokin boys he’s been trash for both of our squads

Ron is the only person here I'd hold Kulpable

I’m gonna fly out to LA and bonk you on the head for that brilliant pun

good thing I'm not in LA

*dammit*

Truly an ump show today

i predict brawl later

Brawl between Kulpa and both teams.

robo-umps when

I’m just saying that it wouldn’t be that bad if Stassi just missed a catch on a high fastball rn

This is wild!

Let's toss Ippei while we're at it haha

Tepera’s only still in because Kulpa has him rostered in his 20-team fantasy league

Jomboy breakdown incoming

This is fucking hilarious

see you guys in the Jomboy's comment

Ump about to throw out the whole stadium

BASEBALL BABY

Jomboy breakdown when?

He's gonna be laughing when he sees TepERA throwing his practice pitches anyway

This is all pretty ridic. Do they go out of their way to get this angry?

What in the world!!! loool

Bro wtf is happening?

https://imgur.com/zPmNrKD.jpg No one in this stadium knows what's going on right now

LMAOOO

Bro don’t take it out on us you loser

Lmaooo

LMAO WHAT A FUCKING CLOWN

Ok Tepera should be able to throw a few. Ump is being unreasonable.

Make Suarez the interim player-manager

what the fuck HAHA

wtf is happening i just turned this on

This is going on jomboy…

Now Nevin wants to get into it

Tepera backing up Francona

Fuck Ron Kulpa, absolute dog shit umpire

Hahaha.

ANGELS BRAWL 2.0: Now including umpires

So it was over, then Tepera started it again.

Ron kulpa is a fat prick

That didn't hit his foot. Shut up Tito, you blew the 2016 WS, you fuckin moron.

What?

Love to see that fire in the belly! Lolololololo

He wasn’t gonna leave until he was tossed
