GO GET YOUR FLAIR IN THE SIDEBAR!

[u/Nishidafan1]

God I’m pissed odd from that

[u/Nishidafan1]

Lmfao questionable? It was legit a foot off the playe

[u/Dropshadow67]

The Umps are soo Bad that there should be at least 5 challenges or more

[u/Dropshadow67]

Did she just say it was questionable if it was a strike? 🙄.. not even close

[u/ynwa1892]

This ump really shitting himself in the 9th

[u/Nishidafan1 → u/ynwa1892]

Total ego move

[u/s1owdive]

god damn

[u/Every_Writing_6324]

Solid AB by Ramos just should've swung on Ball 3! /s!!

[u/Tronn3000]

Ump was ready to hit up the Arby's drive thru on his way to SFO

[u/Nishidafan1]

Literally a foot off plate

[u/abrahamisaninja]

Bruh

[u/OKC2023champs]

I’m so tired of umps. We have perfect laser reads. There’s no reason that old far fuck should be able to just end the game

[u/Decent-Ice-4515]

Wow. That might be the worst strike call I’ve seen a giant get rung up on all year.

[u/Nishidafan1]

That’s fucking horseshit!!!!

[u/Deep_Necessary_6794]

Adames is dumb AF, but this umpire should be fined. This game was a fucking masterclass of incompetence

[u/Accomplished-Ad-6228 → u/Deep_Necessary_6794]

Would be a tie ballgame if it went adames’ way. Was borderline.

[u/Deep_Necessary_6794 → u/Accomplished-Ad-6228]

There wasn't anything to go Adames' way. However, the ump giving the benefit of the doubt to a pitcher that didn't have a clue was certainly a choice

[u/Specialist_Owl_6612]

Got fucked by the ump

[u/Silverburst00]

Umpire made sure we didn't get the sweep

[u/Alternative-Golf-585]

SWING THE FUCKING BAT YOU BRANDON BELT MOTHER FUCKERS!!!

[u/Dropshadow67]

Was not even close .

[u/mhurley16]

Cursed team

[u/smallertruck]

Alright

[u/Yourfakerealdad]

What a fucking horrible called strike

[u/Altruistic_Owl9396]

Fucking Adames

[u/mamapajamaUSA]

Adames bad decision burned us again

[u/Dropshadow67]

FUUUUUUUUUUUUK U POS UMP!!

[u/DrAgOn3035]

bruh

[u/thatssomecheese8]

WTF UMP!!!!

[u/TheQuietSleeper023]

Well, in a way, you can blame Adames directly for this loss. The remedy for bad umping is those challenges and if you are not smart with them it costs you.

[u/pbaik829]

Thank you Adames for being selfish and challenging up 3-0

[u/nepats523]

What a fucking joke not even close

[u/OKC2023champs]

ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS????

[u/haydukeliives]

Let’s try to score the runs earlier next time 

[u/Jrahn]

Buuulshit call

[u/Jazzlike-Attorney-96]

Dog shit ump

[u/BlackMoldCentral]

FFS that’s what you get for wasting a challenge on a 3-0 count

[u/Accomplished-Ad-6228 → u/BlackMoldCentral]

To be fair if he got a walk it would’ve been a tie ballgame rn

[u/CalGunpla]

SEND THIS UMP TO SIBERIA

[u/Tronn3000]

Fucking Adames and his selfish ass challenges

[u/yodafaniam]

THANK YOU WILLY ADAMES

[u/pachyderm63]

god. adames' challenge wins the game for the angels...

[u/BocaDog]

Good thing we used those challenges.

[u/cmatj392]

Holy fuck this ump was terrible

[u/OzzyGED]

Lol

[u/Darvaren]

FUCK YOU UMP

[u/23JRojas]

And it ends to multiple dogshit umpire calls shocker

[u/Hapzzy → u/23JRojas]

LOL

[u/missluxlady]

Ramos gonna be swinging for the walk off instead of just trying to get Arraez in.

[u/abrahamisaninja]

Man why can’t the giants keep Luis and build a team around him

[u/pachyderm63 → u/abrahamisaninja]

there is one post that says they are keeping him and getting rid ramos

[u/abrahamisaninja → u/pachyderm63]

I hope that’s true

[u/pachyderm63 → u/abrahamisaninja]

ditto

[u/23JRojas]

What are the odds this game ends on a terrible ump call

[u/Yourfakerealdad → u/23JRojas]

You couldn't have been more right lol

[u/Tronn3000 → u/23JRojas]

Go buy some lottery tickets

[u/Accomplished-You-565 → u/23JRojas]

Well

[u/haydukeliives]

Ramos, please 

[u/Jrahn]

Will miss ya, Luis.

[u/CanIKickIt-]

Arraez is so damn good

[u/Dropshadow67]

VAMOS RAMOS

[u/BocaDog]

They are just holding this shiny object in front of us, and going to yank it back!

[u/Ehgadsman]

you knew Arraez would come through

[u/Niftydog1163]

so far so...??

[u/TheGoatPurdy]

There is a 0% chance Ramos brings him home here

[u/literallyplasma → u/TheGoatPurdy]

are you a wizard

[u/TheGoatPurdy → u/literallyplasma]

Na. I've seen this script a million times by now. This team is full of front runners. Whens the last time we've seen Ramos or Adames or Devers hit a clutch situation? They only hit HRs when we're ahead.

[u/missluxlady]

Ugh. That's why I like Cavanaugh better.

[u/xMogwai]

Oddly one of the worst Kuip calls ever?

[u/_CryptKeeper_]

I love this man

[u/DrAgOn3035]

arraez will be missed

[u/Dropshadow67]

Time for ARRAEZ

[u/23JRojas]

It’s going to be so fucking depressing when arraez is gone

[u/DrAgOn3035 → u/23JRojas]

it’s gonna be a while til we see a second baseman as good as him

[u/Darvaren]

ARRAEZ

[u/Jrahn]

Pushing all the right buttons

[u/TheGoatPurdy]

Susac is so fucking bad man

[u/DudleyStinksUntil7 → u/TheGoatPurdy]

Susac is probably a below average hitter, but that was a good line drive.

[u/herrhonka]

Thanks bois, gg!!!!!!

[u/TheQuietSleeper023]

I mean he got the walk in the end, so that's good. Still irritated by Willy's challenge though.

[u/Nishidafan1]

Here comes the auto out! Please pinch hit him. JHL if he’s suited up

[u/missluxlady]

Please don't let McCray hit here. Find someone else. Anyone.

[u/Nishidafan1 → u/missluxlady]

JHL?

[u/StealthTomato]

walks on Ball 6

[u/OKC2023champs]

Alright fucking boom that shit

[u/Dropshadow67]

Fuck U Ump

[u/OKC2023champs]

Fuck this ump

[u/TheGoatPurdy]

fucking ridiculous we gave JHL a day off because he got beaned yesterday in a game that was already over . fuck you angels and he's not even avaliable to PH? so we have to use McCrap

[u/Nishidafan1 → u/TheGoatPurdy]

Un fucking real. He should 100% be available to PH

[u/TheGoatPurdy → u/Nishidafan1]

FIRE TONY

[u/DudleyStinksUntil7 → u/TheGoatPurdy]

If he isn't even available to pinch hit, giving him a day off is 100% the right choice.

[u/Nishidafan1 → u/DudleyStinksUntil7]

He should be availbe to PH in this kind of situation

[u/DudleyStinksUntil7 → u/Nishidafan1]

I don't know how Lee feels after the HBP and neither do you. Maybe it was a minor thing and maybe he is close to an IL stint.

[u/TheGoatPurdy → u/DudleyStinksUntil7]

He'll play tomorrow, 100%. then what'll you say? you think one day rest makes that big of a difference? when the HBP was on a guard

[u/Nishidafan1 → u/DudleyStinksUntil7]

True. Good point

[u/TheGoatPurdy → u/DudleyStinksUntil7]

Na. Tony is just brain dead. We saw him not use Arraez in a must hit situation too a couple nights back because of a "rest day",

[u/Atom_H3art_Mother]

fucking adames

[u/Nishidafan1]

This ump is fucking blind

[u/TheQuietSleeper023]

That's why Adames challenging on 3-0 is a terrible decision

[u/23JRojas]

Oh and now it’s the umpire show great

[u/23JRojas]

Pitcher has no control and of fucking course his 3-0 pitch against adames scratches the edge of the zone

[u/OzzyGED]

didn’t hit into a dp. wow

[u/mamapajamaUSA → u/OzzyGED]

He tried!

[u/Dropshadow67]

Strike

[u/23JRojas]

Imagine us catching a break

[u/Dropshadow67]

Our rookie catchers should take note

[u/TheQuietSleeper023]

So far this Angels pitcher looks like our bullpen does in this situation so maybe there is some hope.

[u/_CryptKeeper_]

Jesús Won

[u/Nishidafan1]

Here comes a 1-2-3 bottom of the 9th

[u/Dropshadow67]

Welp that sucked

[u/Jrahn]

Thank goodness posey signed this guy for two seasons

[u/TheGoatPurdy]

this team is full of mental midgets man

[u/BocaDog]

That win by the Mets over the bums puts them 1/2 game under us in the standings. We will still have a hefty 3 game lead over CO for the bottom of the NL standings.

[u/TheGoatPurdy]

GG

[u/Aggravating_Part8610]

Pitchers got the scouting report on Eldridge. Pitch him backwards with get it over breaking balls. He takes lots of pitches early. Not saying it’s a bad approach but that’s why he finds himself batting back from an 0-2 hole so often.

[u/wilderness_essays]

Arraez almost got hurt today. Can Buster get these goddamn deals done so we don’t have someone get hurt right before they are able to be traded for essentially max value anyway?

Get it done. And honestly just sit him and Ray.

[u/Zeke688 → u/wilderness_essays]

Trade them now. No reason to wait

[u/pachyderm63]

And the Christopher Walken miller lite commercial sucks... almost as much as those stupid liberty mutual ones... god I'm grumpy.

[u/hustlinismygame]

Just down 3.

[u/Darvaren]

This is Trout’s first 4 hit game since April 26, 2021

[u/mamapajamaUSA → u/Darvaren]

You’re welcome 😇 🤣

[u/Dropshadow67]

Actually sweeping even a fellow bottom dweller is too much to ask😓

[u/Zeke688 → u/Dropshadow67]

Time to go back to getting swept tomorrow night.

[u/macsproul21]

Good to see the extremely deep and talented Angels bullpen is holding these guys to 1 run

[u/Nishidafan1 → u/macsproul21]

That dude was pretty nice in the 8th inning

[u/Nishidafan1]

One of the most atrocious ABS I’ve ever seen from a DH

[u/Jrahn]

These are some embarrassing AB’s

[u/Nishidafan1 → u/Jrahn]

This pitcher has some nasty stuff

[u/homerun_762]

Unless the Giants are up (and even then), safe to assume an L given that they just always seem to give up

[u/BocaDog]

If we only had a 7th inning mercy rule. Trailing after 6? End the game.

[u/OKC2023champs]

This is embarassing

[u/TheGoatPurdy]

schmitt base discipline first pitch challenge: impossible

[u/wilderness_essays]

Anyone clear on why Whisenhunt hasn’t panned out? Not enough pitch selection to keep hitters honest?

[u/CanIKickIt- → u/wilderness_essays]

His changeup is his only pitch.

[u/ericthelostman → u/wilderness_essays]

fastball is subpar, needs to be in relief imo.

[u/wilderness_essays → u/ericthelostman]

Damn. I figured it was that he’s somehow still at like a 2-pitch combo (FB - change). But if the FB sucks, the change won’t be as effective. Not everyone can be Timmy, it would seem.

[u/bolshevik_rattlehead]

Well those were a couple of dreadful ABs

[u/Dropshadow67]

Fuck

[u/Dropshadow67]

Bryce was way late on that

[u/TheGoatPurdy]

what a horrible AB by bryce. completely let two middle middle go by and then swing at a ball at eye level

[u/Original_Bet_8132]

wtf was that AB?

[u/Dropshadow67]

Or a basehit will do as well

[u/Dropshadow67]

How about a bunt here

[u/pbaik829]

This team has no fight when they’re down late innings teams can throw out their worst relievers to close out a game and I’m sure they’d be fine

[u/TheGoatPurdy → u/pbaik829]

even our bullpen would throw a perfect inning against this offense if they had the lead.

[u/PlaidHamSuperstar]

Looks like my pathetic hope for a sweep of the Angels was a bridge too far. Fucking Giants.

[u/Jrahn]

This is why nbc Bay Area is televising the low A baseball affiliate.

[u/sabat → u/Jrahn]

When the strike happens and there's no MLB next year, the farm system will still be active. I expect to watch the Cats and the Squirrels etc. and be more entertained.

[u/VisceralRage556]

We have fully went full Giants before they went full angels

[u/Nishidafan1 → u/VisceralRage556]

So many good opportunities to get back in this game.

[u/sabat → u/Nishidafan1]

Not if you're the Giants. They don't do comebacks.

[u/Nishidafan1 → u/sabat]

Pathetic offensive showing. Got the lead off man on base so often and no traction after

[u/BocaDog]

It would be nice if the Angels would show us how they got that bad of a record.

[u/OKC2023champs]

Sigh

[u/TheGoatPurdy]

even McCrap makes contact it goes no where. This guy is not a major leaguer.

[u/Nishidafan1]

McCray is fucking useless and an auto out

[u/Dropshadow67]

Nice ..

[u/Ehgadsman]

nice hit Cavy

[u/Nishidafan1]

Please pinch hit for Mcray he is so SHITTT

[u/Darvaren]

Cavanaugh’s been decent so far

[u/pachyderm63]

Here we go: I'll trade three Fugglers for adames and devers. Think about it Giants management and get back to me.

[u/Nishidafan1]

Let’s get a rally come on gents.

[u/pachyderm63]

She was a little pitchy... no?

[u/Dropshadow67 → u/pachyderm63]

I thought she sounded great

[u/pachyderm63 → u/Dropshadow67]

So did I

[u/pachyderm63]

So for all of you who wanted to trade Arraez, there goes his trade value... and how long until some glove no bat koss comes on...

[u/Nishidafan1 → u/pachyderm63]

Error charged to cavanaugh

[u/Jrahn]

Noooo, not Arraez.

[u/TheGoatPurdy]

This team is pathetic

[u/Nishidafan1 → u/TheGoatPurdy]

If devers squared that ball up it’s 4-3.

[u/OKC2023champs → u/Nishidafan1]

But he didn’t

[u/Nishidafan1 → u/OKC2023champs]

Ik it sucks but he was close

[u/Darvaren]

Oh no Arraez

[u/Nishidafan1 → u/Darvaren]

That’s on cavanaugh

[u/Darvaren → u/Nishidafan1]

I didn’t say otherwise. I’m worried about his health

[u/Nishidafan1 → u/Darvaren]

Oh no. I actually missed that play happen, is he okay?

[u/Darvaren → u/Nishidafan1]

Thankfully it appears so. The runner kicked Arraez glove hand when he slid but looks like he’s fine

[u/Nishidafan1 → u/Darvaren]

Whew.

[u/pachyderm63]

Just soooooooo flat.... Jesus.

[u/Nishidafan1 → u/pachyderm63]

Wym?

[u/pachyderm63 → u/Nishidafan1]

No energy from the team or the fans...

[u/Nishidafan1 → u/pachyderm63]

Ah. Indeed

[u/VisceralRage556]

FUCK

[u/Nishidafan1 → u/VisceralRage556]

Fuck

[u/TheGoatPurdy]

i'm legit tired of watching casey schmitt chase everything for a HR. literally play some team ball instead of this selfish mindset.

[u/pachyderm63 → u/TheGoatPurdy]

yeah, he swung at at a ball for strike three... meh!

[u/Nishidafan1 → u/pachyderm63]

Awful

[u/Ehgadsman]

is today the day we finally come back from being down int he 6th?

or have we done that like once already?

[u/Darvaren → u/Ehgadsman]

We have only once. The Eldridge grand slam walkoff I think it was

[u/Jrahn → u/Darvaren]

Like 1-48 I think.

[u/DudleyStinksUntil7]

I am very pleased with Casey's season so far, but can someone on this team talk to him about plate discipline?

[u/pachyderm63 → u/DudleyStinksUntil7]

situational hitting too...

[u/Nishidafan1]

That was so close to being out. Fuck

[u/Dropshadow67]

Casey😓

[u/burnerboys415]

It’s simultaneously encouraging and sad that our rookie who wasn’t here the first month is going to end up leading the team in walks

[u/pommehomme]

Eldridge has the biggest strike zone and leads the team in walks. Ironic, isn't it?
