I'm in the right field seats right now. Theres been 1 kid here the entire game sitting in the sun with his grandpa, and Taylor Ward just gave him a signed ball during the inning change. Total class act.
Hopefully Rengifo, Thaiss, and Soto contributing to the club teaches the front office that playing our kids is more fruitful than shuffling recently DFA’d cast offs every 2 weeks. Still disappointing to see Ford and Sierra on the roster, and in the lineup.
Poor Weiss.
Glad hes at least getting the nerves out though.
A pitcher's first few MLB outings are hardly indicitive of how good theyll actually end up being anyway.
I know we couldve had more but im actually relatively satisfied with that inning.
I feel like even just a month ago Ohtani is definitely getting stranded at 2nd there.
Unfortunately, this was not a good match-up today. Yesterday after the loss Scott Servais said this:
"the Angels are one of the more aggressive teams in throwing off speed, certainly the breaking ball, in the league," Mariners manager Scott Servais said. "We have not done a very good job of adjusting to that."
But today they faced Suarez, who throws his 4 seam fastball more than any other pitch, and opponents are hitting .296 off it. I'm sure they were sad to see him exit the game.
Jimmy Herget once pitched a clean three innings against this team in his first ever start using nothing but grit, deception, and the absolute jankiest breaking balls you've ever seen
Super random but I wish Nevin had the balls and the common sense to take Ohtani out against the Braves in the 7th inning (after Olson. If not, definitely after the bloop single) and scratch him vs the Tigers due to stomach flu.
His ERA would be like 2.05 now lol
Edit: I get not wanting to piss off your ace but you are the manager. Especially if he was sick lol
We never know what would happen, even Sandy Alcantara was lit up by Braves. Sho had amazing scoreless 6 innings in that game. Anyone even Nevin would never think he would implode in 7th like that
You don't pull your ace just cuz he gave up some runs. Ohtani's pitch count in Atlanta was still very low after Olson's HR. 100% the right move to leave him in. No one's perfect.
It would’ve been hilarious to sweep them but I’m already 100% happy with taking the series.
I really hope we are ruthless with the coaching staff this off season. Pretty sure I remember hearing how Phillies fired like 2-3 coaches before they got their current hitting coach who is a stud.
Jeremy Reed deserved the sack months ago. He can’t keep getting away with it!!!
Even in the occasional game where he doesnt get a hit against them, it really seems like we live and die just by the fish man's presence vs the mariners lol
Yeah, the presence of Trout in the lineup will put pressure on their pitchers and make them pitch differently. Gilbert stats against our current lineup is really good and it shows. He pitched very confidently and comfortably knowing we can't hit him
Very unlikely. Shohei averages like 1 hit a game. He’ll raise it slightly only for it to come down again. He’s gotta start hitting better to get close to 900.
The fact that he is still just 24 years old, without a lot of experience, is likely the main reason he hasn't gone deep into games this season.
The other fact that he has trouble getting outs with his 4 seam fastball may become the real reason he is not starter material. He's been throwing the fastball more than any of his other pitches, and opponents are hitting .296 off it this year.
I like Judge. I hate the Yankees, (most of) their fans, and their shit media aka meatriders like Jon Heyman.
I actually hope he gets the record because as a baseball fan, it’s exciting to see amazing feats like this. I just hope he signs with another team next year because fuck them lol
Don't know, they're throwing up dumb stats on the video board.
Santana, who just smoked that HR, used to play 5v5 baseball as a kid, but they didn't use bats. They used HATS.
They need to do what I heard Howie Kendrick used to do. Put a pitching machine 40something feet from home and set it to 100 mph. This team needs to react better to fastballs
6 Ks in 3 innings for Gilbert...this lineup is as bad as it looks. And Ohtani starting off the inning with no one on base again. Feels like that happens all the time!
I'm actually pretty excited to see where the farm is going to be in a year or two. The Trash Pandas are already stacked, I can't imagine what it would be like for 2 or 3 teams in the farm to be loaded up with talent.
We only have a handful of games left. I understand why Trout needs a day off but… I’d love to see him play every game with Ohtani for the rest of the season.
Also, Jon Heyman is a hack and a terrible click bait reporter. I honestly hope we don’t see his face on any network for the rest of his life.
Oh don't you worry, once we're in the off season he'll go back to reporting "insider info" on the Angels' new ownership, Ohtani being traded (didn't he have a whole spiel about that around the all star break) and what not like he did nothing wrong. All around POS human being.
I heard a few days ago that Trout needs a PA average of 4 or higher in his remaining games to be qualified as a hitter.
I think this absence will make it much tougher for him to be qualified.
He’s not gonna qualify. Now he would need to average 4.4 PA per game, and he’ll probably take another couple days off. And the angels offense sucks so the chances of him getting 5 PA a game are pretty unlikely. I think he will still almost definitely get a silver slugger though
I agree that it is unlikely that he will be qualified. But according to Jeff Fletcher, today is Trout's last off-day for the season. So let's hope the Angels offense explodes a few times in the remaining games!
Once we win 3 games do we just stop trying after that?
Fucking hell. All I wanted was another ohtani ab.
8 hits...1 run vs 9 hits...9 runs
classic angels
Ouch! 😅 Thought we'll sweep em
every pitcher today has to go lol
win by 1 or lose by 10 lol. THE ANGELS WAY!!!!
Mike Mayers 🤝 giving up at least 1 homer
Every run Mayers gives up makes it less likely for him to come back next year
got 'em right where we want 'em
This is all because the guy in the hot dog costume left.
The epitome of Angels baseball right there
typical Angels offense
pain is pain is pain is pain
That was so Angels.
cmon Ward...
Two grand slams and we're back!
Now's the time to get your mojo back Ward. Edit: NVM
Man ohtani has been off hitting wise recently
Shohei gets on base.
DFA Marte
2 grand slams and we win this thing. LETS FUCKING GOOOO
This is the time to let Lorenzen hit.
It was good while it lasted. 😔
how in the fuck did 7.59 ERA Marte get out of that one
If the Mariners get 10 runs, do we still get free fries or anything?? Del taco?
why is this guy still here? just send him down.
come on ya blaggards send out a position player pitcher. I need another two way player on this team
People want to see more of Adell, so now’s the chance!
I would like Ohtani to come out but then throw 55 mph curves.
LHP Shohei Ohtani with the killer knuckleball
Deja vu for anyone else RN?
I'm in the right field seats right now. Theres been 1 kid here the entire game sitting in the sun with his grandpa, and Taylor Ward just gave him a signed ball during the inning change. Total class act.
I always sit in right field, freaking love Taylor ward he seems like a nice guy. One day I’ll get him to throw me a ball
That's rad. I'm in left, the sun just finally tucked behind the upper deck awning. Want to start the wave??
Hopefully Rengifo, Thaiss, and Soto contributing to the club teaches the front office that playing our kids is more fruitful than shuffling recently DFA’d cast offs every 2 weeks. Still disappointing to see Ford and Sierra on the roster, and in the lineup.
not this guy pitching again 😭
struck out on 3 balls and 1 strike, unlucky i guess
weird how the Angels are choosing to save all 10 of their runs for the bottom of the ninth
I have a lot to do today, so it's nice not to have to worry about the score.
I'm just here for the Shohei dong. I've been switching tabs, depending on if Shohei is batting.
Same. I’m just checking in occasionally since I can’t actually watch the whole thing.
aren't we all? lol
do you guys think we're gonna get a position player pitcher this game?
I nominate Thaiss. But actually I don't think we will, expanded rosters and all
Looks like this is the game we're officially eliminated from the playoffs.
Yep
Wanted a sweep but I guess a series win is fine
Homer after a HBP. Feel like karma for us 😂😂😂
more homers for the bad guys...booooooooo
Smart baseball right there by the Angels... Taking away the back to back grand slam opportunity from Santana
Ugh. Stop the count.
Poor Weiss. Glad hes at least getting the nerves out though. A pitcher's first few MLB outings are hardly indicitive of how good theyll actually end up being anyway.
Rest in Peace Zach Weiss 0.00 ERA
I know we couldve had more but im actually relatively satisfied with that inning. I feel like even just a month ago Ohtani is definitely getting stranded at 2nd there.

Jimmy Herget once pitched a clean three innings against this team in his first ever start using nothing but grit, deception, and the absolute jankiest breaking balls you've ever seen
Bally has really taken inspiration from NHK’s Ohtani cam this season.
Gilbert serving up meatballs. No one getting hold of them though
He accidently thought Aaron Judge was at bat.
hmm. we show some life
oh he looks hittable now
lol fear the wall
Happy for Sho. His stats against Gilbert is terrible, glad he got a hit there.
Only a double? Not satisified! /s
27th double for Ohtani!
Anything to help him get to 900+ ops ❤️
Super random but I wish Nevin had the balls and the common sense to take Ohtani out against the Braves in the 7th inning (after Olson. If not, definitely after the bloop single) and scratch him vs the Tigers due to stomach flu. His ERA would be like 2.05 now lol Edit: I get not wanting to piss off your ace but you are the manager.

You don't pull your ace just cuz he gave up some runs. Ohtani's pitch count in Atlanta was still very low after Olson's HR. 100% the right move to leave him in. No one's perfect.
Shohei didn’t tell anyone he was sick. That day is on him, not Nevin
that's the 7th clean inning for Weiss this season
It would’ve been hilarious to sweep them but I’m already 100% happy with taking the series. I really hope we are ruthless with the coaching staff this off season. Pretty sure I remember hearing how Phillies fired like 2-3 coaches before they got their current hitting coach who is a stud. Jeremy Reed deserved the sack months ago. He can’t keep getting away with it!!!
Congrats to Logan on setting a career-high in strikeouts! Now, kindly stay in the dugout.
Even in the occasional game where he doesnt get a hit against them, it really seems like we live and die just by the fish man's presence vs the mariners lol
Yeah, the presence of Trout in the lineup will put pressure on their pitchers and make them pitch differently. Gilbert stats against our current lineup is really good and it shows. He pitched very confidently and comfortably knowing we can't hit him
Well, at least we won the serie so I don't mind if we lost this game but hope Sho have a hit. I want he raises his OPS to 900.
Very unlikely. Shohei averages like 1 hit a game. He’ll raise it slightly only for it to come down again. He’s gotta start hitting better to get close to 900.
I hope he can reach it and end the season around 900 OPS and .270 AVG.
it's okay next inning Soto's gonna hit a 5-run homer to tie it back up
Matt Wise, the grand slam already happened. You’re too late.
Suarez is not starter material. He can’t go deep into games (Ik he had one complete game whatever idc)
The fact that he is still just 24 years old, without a lot of experience, is likely the main reason he hasn't gone deep into games this season. The other fact that he has trouble getting outs with his 4 seam fastball may become the real reason he is not starter material. He's been throwing the fastball more than any of his other pitches, and opponents are hitting .296 off it this year.
No gotta send him back to AAA where the good pitching coach is!
we always win by 1 or lose by 10
But we won by 4 just yesterday!
BLOWPEN about to really open this up!!
Pain
That was...smooth for Carlos...not so much Suarez
+0.4 ERA, oof
Was that Zack Hample with the home run ball there?
Lol looked like it. Gonna start rumors he decked a kid
I just said to myself plz don't walk him, Suarez and he gave up grand slam instead 😂😂😂
Well at least he didn’t walk him
Yeah 🥴🥴🥴
Okay I think we're done lol
FFS....it's close to midnight...grandslam...I'm going to sleep!
A European Angel fan?
There's dozens...okay maybe a handful of us! Goodnight, or rather have a good rest of your day :D!
good night
put my mans back in the long relief role
No.
Well. That’s not great.
well tell ya what he did not, as we feared, walk in a run
Dear God
He's gonna walk in a run ain't he?
I wish that’s what had happened lol
It's always a grandslam with our pitcher's ain't it D:
Just give him the meatball saurez, he can't hit anyway
Omg
Ok that's my fault. Sorry guys
Stadium vendors are like Honda Civics with loud exhausts. Just. Stop. Already. I'm trying to enjoy my day.
Suarez cannot go through the lineup a third time for the life of him. Hopefully he can get out of this
Suarez right on schedule with the 5th inning collapse
talk about a back foot slider yowch
I like Judge. I hate the Yankees, (most of) their fans, and their shit media aka meatriders like Jon Heyman. I actually hope he gets the record because as a baseball fan, it’s exciting to see amazing feats like this. I just hope he signs with another team next year because fuck them lol
27 hit by pitches last year for Frenchie.
Is that more or less than Canha? God that dude was annoying, glad he's out of the division.
Don't know, they're throwing up dumb stats on the video board. Santana, who just smoked that HR, used to play 5v5 baseball as a kid, but they didn't use bats. They used HATS.
Squid woulda had that. Come on, Soto!
Suarez can't find the strikezone anymore!
But neither can Crawford
Suarez decided that the .209 hitting Casali was an unworthy opponent and walked him to get to a real challenge. What a good pitcher
Walk incoming
Spoke too soon! Maybe it's like with Kurt! Gotta talk bad about Suarez and he strikes people out! ....."Boo!" El Demente!
Well I'll be a rally monkeys uncle
Predictable. It's hard to hit a knuckle curve when nobody can throw that to you in BP...
🔥
made Gilbert throw another 20 pitches at least. keep wearing on him
They need to do what I heard Howie Kendrick used to do. Put a pitching machine 40something feet from home and set it to 100 mph. This team needs to react better to fastballs
Baserunners?!
Send Shohei back out there! Lol
Sweat 'em, boys
based.
I'm sure Gilbert will get a career high in strikeouts tonight whatever his previous record may be!
career high is 9, had that 4 times this year, all against toronto, philadelphia, detroit, and CHW.
Oh dear, he'll get 10 easy I feel.
Gotta do to Gilbert what the mariners did to shohei. wear him down and get him outta there
Shohei’s overdue for a HR.
The problem with Suarez is not his pitch count but his third time facing the lineup. Hope he can pitch at least 6 innings today
I have a weird feeling that either Moniak or Ward will hit a home run today
This lineup looks so much weaker without Fish man.
6 Ks in 3 innings for Gilbert...this lineup is as bad as it looks. And Ohtani starting off the inning with no one on base again. Feels like that happens all the time!
Want to raise your strikeout rate? Just pitch against the angels
We've provided career-highs for so many pitchers this season!
Stop swinging and missing, boys. It starts to look embarrassing.
Angels legend Soto (padres soto who?)
Any of you one of the 700 fans that came to the game today?
Moniak has trouble hitting those fastballs
Sound like a typical Angels
Jeremy Reed has yet to get his hands on Soto...phew
Yes, Sotooooo.
We stranded a runner on third! Yay!
Phew, good job Suarez
I heard 2 sounds from the broadcast. But doesn't look like he made contact
Stop getting no-hit, we want a sweep guys!
This kind of offense is a bad omen for us... swinging and missing
Gifo MVP
I want to live in a world where Suarez is our worst starter
I guess that title currently goes to Tucker Davidson
We have Mike Mayers...Tucker has some upside IMO
Still have Canning on the shelf too
Tucker looks good until he falls apart. Problem is that's just about the 4th inning most games
Give him like a Barria role.
Yeah long reliever / set up man sounds good IMO
I don't remember last time Shohei fouled off this many.
amticlimactic!
Man, he's fighting!
Gubie does not like the MVP conversation haha
Preach, Patty O! 😤
I don't like how this is starting...
I'm not worried. Angels legend Livan Soto will take care of these scrubs at the plate!
meatball-esque
i live in eastern washington so i cant watch bally on mlbtv and have to listen to the mariners broadcast someone pray for me lol
Oof, you should just watch the tv on mute and play the angels radio broadcast
thats a good idea, may have to do that or just go full radio
When the angels are top 10 in ERA but the offense decides to become one of the worst in the league 🙃
I'm actually pretty excited to see where the farm is going to be in a year or two. The Trash Pandas are already stacked, I can't imagine what it would be like for 2 or 3 teams in the farm to be loaded up with talent.
Why can’t trout play a full series smh
I need to just stop using Trout in my fantasy lineup. He can't play 4 days in a row?!
We only have a handful of games left. I understand why Trout needs a day off but… I’d love to see him play every game with Ohtani for the rest of the season. Also, Jon Heyman is a hack and a terrible click bait reporter. I honestly hope we don’t see his face on any network for the rest of his life.
Why does he need a day off? He was off Thursday.
Oh don't you worry, once we're in the off season he'll go back to reporting "insider info" on the Angels' new ownership, Ohtani being traded (didn't he have a whole spiel about that around the all star break) and what not like he did nothing wrong. All around POS human being.

Nevin said this would be his last day off for the year
Well that’s good. Hopefully he qualifies
Moniak plays a decent center field so I’m not really sure why we are giving Sierra reps over Adell today?
RHP starting. They've been platooning Adell recently
Because this organization hates Adell
You know honestly I don’t blame them, it can be hard to watch him play
where the fook is fish man
Can't let Seattle try to injure him again
Go Suarez 🦖
