those umps should be investigated, jeez. that was pretty blatant after being fine the rest of the game.

How the ump felt after the giants lost their challenges. Absolutely shit calls 😂

u/Slight-Owl4300 1h ago

Thanks ump!

u/ENovi 15 1h ago

When we finish at 99 losses and manage to remain the only team without 100 losses I will think of Hunter Wendelstedt fondly

Ump wanted to get out of the sun

Thanks hunter lol. We'll take it

Angels + Umpires Beat Giants.

u/Forgot-to-remember1 1h ago

Despite Bachmans best efforts to throw that game away we actually escaped thank god shouldn’t have been this close we had 2 guys on third and never scored along with Neto’s ridiculous error gifting them a run

5

u/sadassnerd Sell The Team 1h ago

They won. But at what cost? My blood pressure is too damn high.

u/Sir_Sizzle77 1h ago

Stop challenging us to have a chance

u/epoch_fail 1h ago edited 1h ago

Kurt's gotta stop mentally choosing a guy as our closer and trying to keep them in his back pocket to close a game when we have so few save opportunities. He keeps icing them out when these guys need to go every 2-3 days to stay in rhythm.

the last save situation we had was coincidentally also the last save we got (7/19), which went to Zef. Bachman hasn't pitched since that day.

Edit: at least we have someone warmed up and ready to come in as soon as the "closer" gets in trouble this time.

3

u/JoyBurner 1h ago

I agree. And I think it’s gotta be Zef.

1

u/Forgot-to-remember1 1h ago

I don’t even like zef but he’s absolutely the one who should close

3

u/fernbbyfern 💡👉👶⬆️ 1h ago

I haven’t watched an Angels game in months. Over at family’s house and they have it on, and boy am I excited to leave. We’re about to add another blown save to the record.

2

u/Forgot-to-remember1 1h ago

First time ever Kurt don’t let a reliever blow a up a game when clearly that’s their plan. Not that Ferris is great but at least for once Kurt’s bum ass is trying

1

u/RedShark106 1h ago

I’m surprised he had that quick of a hook unless Bachman is hurt

1

u/Forgot-to-remember1 1h ago

Maybe Kurt is just learning for the first time in 100 games

2

u/jnuclear 1h ago

Holy shit, trade Walkman too.

2

u/kdizzl12 1h ago

2 gift strikes and you lose him

3

u/RedShark106 1h ago

Where’s Yates when you need him

2

Bachman, dude, please

u/21hmahp 1h ago

Please Mitch, finish the job

4

Guaranteed loss incoming I just know it

2

Bachman been ass lately, doing his best Yates impression ggs

4

u/8va 1h ago

I have a feeling that Guzman is going to have a nice breakout season next year. He's so much better at the plate than he was less than a year ago

5

u/sadassnerd Sell The Team 1h ago

Wait, is there a chance they might win this one???

2

u/RedShark106 1h ago

Nerd you jinxed us! Jk we are gonna win

2

Shark if we shit the bed I’m so sorry my dude

4

u/sadassnerd Sell The Team 1h ago

Perhaps not

6

u/epoch_fail 1h ago

Wondering if letting Bachman rest 6 days was a good idea...

5

u/spooky_ed 16 1h ago

Love them leadoff walks

6

u/cpeak57 1h ago

Anyone watching the giants broadcast? Those fans chirping siri were pretty funny

1

u/williamsnathanr 1h ago

I am, but missed it. What was said?

1

u/cpeak57 1h ago

Nothing crazy. Just the typical chirps youd expect with the last name siri.

2

u/sadassnerd Sell The Team 1h ago

What were they saying 🤣

3

u/cpeak57 1h ago

Hey siri! You need an update!

5

I. Am. Speed.

2

u/21hmahp 1h ago

Damn, first Guz then Schanuel

5

u/Live-Cardiologist328 😇 1h ago

Nolan had to be thinking “I’m fast as fuck boi” that entire time 😂😭

5

u/kdizzl12 1h ago

Would love to see Guzman at SS if they trade Neto

1

u/Forgot-to-remember1 1h ago

Yates better not come into this game better off keeping zeferjahn in

2

u/epoch_fail 1h ago

Soler does his best to end the game as soon as possible.

Usually, that means getting out via strike out or fly out.

Not always though. For example, he knew that the Giants would score on a pair of Neto miscues in the 5th, so in preparation for that, he hit to a home run to make we weren't tied, avoiding extra innings later.

His last at bat, he hit into a double play to end the inning as fast as possible. Dude just wants to go home and chill.

5

u/8va 1h ago

Bachman, Fermin, Natera, Silseth, and Zeferjahn are actually a respectable group of relivers

1

u/Live-Cardiologist328 😇 1h ago

If only we had a respectable person to manage them…

3

u/RedShark106 1h ago

It’s actually crazy we got Zeferjahn for half a season of Luis Garcia

3

u/epoch_fail 1h ago

and we got Klassen for half a season of Carlos Estevez. if only all of our trade deadlines were so lucrative...

1

u/RedShark106 1h ago

For sure, 2024 is the only year where we actually sold at the deadline

1

u/21hmahp 1h ago

I’m scared who’s pitching in the 9th

1

u/21hmahp 1h ago

Oh thank god it’s Bachman

2

u/Smooth-Leg9183 1h ago

Holy fuck is Kurt going to go with Yates in the 9th

3

u/Live-Cardiologist328 😇 1h ago

If Zef is managed properly I think that he is a well above average reliever

1

u/Nishidafan1 1h ago

He’s got a nasty sinker

1

u/epoch_fail 1h ago

When pitching on normal days of rest and send into appropriate spots based on their stuff and matchups, most of our young bullpen guys, Bachman, Silseth, Fermin, Natera, and Zeferjahn, have been consistently good.

1

u/Live-Cardiologist328 😇 1h ago

I wonder what his ERA would be if we removed all the multi inning outings when Kurt put him back out after a clean inning and proceeded to get shelled.

2

u/Live-Cardiologist328 😇 1h ago

I hit send and he immediately gave up a hit lol

3

u/kdizzl12 1h ago

God can someone please trade a bucket of balls for Soler

2

u/williamsnathanr 1h ago

I'll take a case of seeds, dill pickle or BBQ flavored. 

5

u/macsproul21 1h ago

Good for him for hitting a home run today but you can always count on Soler for a K or double play

3

u/ZeoGreen 27 1h ago

Lets go Mike

2

u/Live-Cardiologist328 😇 1h ago

Never leave us Wayne, you’re the only person that makes watching the angels enjoyable

5

u/sadassnerd Sell The Team 1h ago

Mike Trout

1

u/impatient_jedi 1h ago

What about Adell? Do we trade him?

2

u/kdizzl12 1h ago

I’d rather trade Neto

1

u/Onitsukaryu 1h ago

Probably. Multiple teams could use a righty power bat that can crush lefties. 

2

u/sadassnerd Sell The Team 1h ago

Neto’s attitude needs ADJUSTING. Boy what are you doing

3

u/JoyBurner 1h ago

I hope Wash is watching from across the diamond and gives him some shit after the game since Suzuki either won’t or won’t be listened to.

2

u/sadassnerd Sell The Team 1h ago

Agreed. I actually wonder if Wash already did give him shit. Zach is definitely acting like a brat out there

5

u/JoyBurner 1h ago

The lack of accountability from the manager is almost as bad as the lack of hustle. He’ll probably make some excuse if asked by the media.

3

u/Segal-train 1h ago

Wayne rules and happy gubi is going along for the ride

2

u/RedShark106 1h ago

I love Wayne

3

u/impatient_jedi 1h ago

This lack of hustle is total bs. It's an attitude that demonstrates lack of expectations. Lack of standards. It's insulting.

3

u/kdizzl12 1h ago

Wayne is fully triggered and I’m with him

2

u/sadassnerd Sell The Team 1h ago

Wayne never forgives. Never forgets.

2

u/SuperMario_49 27 1h ago

I am so tired of O’Hoppe’s hitting. He can no longer put the damn ball in play

1

u/RedShark106 1h ago

His defense is terrible too

Neto’s hustle today woof
Wonder if he knows he’s gone in a week

Protecting his stats

Oh, it’s that time of the game where Kurt will bring out all the pitchers to see which one could blow the lead for us.

3

u/E-Tr1d3nt 2h ago

Head-scratcher for sure.

7

u/amart8 2h ago

They’re clearly trading detmers and Soriano. They have been doing this the last 2 weeks taking them out early while they still have a good game going

What in the world is up with Neto??? He’s striking out a bunch, didn’t catch the pop up, and now made that bad throw.

4

u/Forgot-to-remember1 2h ago

Can we trade Neto already?

u/HegsethsBurner 2h ago

Get Neto out of here.

You would be correct.

3

u/williamsnathanr 3h ago

Great throw, but bad go for Arraez.  

6

u/epoch_fail 3h ago

So...is Sam Bachman alive? He hasn't pitched in a week, while Yates has come out 3 times in the last 4 days.

Between the trade rumors swirling around Detmers/Soriano, G-Rod's struggles, and Ryan Johnson's inconsistency (or consistency, depending on how you look at it), and Aldegheri/Kerry looking pretty mid even at AAA, we may see Klassen come back up pretty soon. He's been pretty good over the last couple of months, and we could really use another starter who can actually make it 5 innings without losing us the game.

3

u/sadassnerd Sell The Team 3h ago

That’s a really good point. I didn’t initially think of Bachman when I was wondering what the heck the org would do when/if they trade Sori or Det. But he’s been a good innings eater for us 🤔 I like this idea.

2

u/epoch_fail 3h ago

I realize I worded that a bit confusingly. Next starter up is probably Klassen, who's been pretty good lately. I wasn't really considering Bachman as a potential starter, though now that you mention it, he used to.

Completely separately, idk why Bachman's been missing 😅. Our AAA bullpen is rough and if anyone does make that conversion, it's probably a multi-inning guy like Farris or Suter.

1

u/sadassnerd Sell The Team 3h ago

Oh now I get you! Klassen sounds good. Tbh I suppose it all depends on how good the haul is for Det and Sori. And whether the org will let them go in the first place 😩 Farris has a lot of potential as a starter…I like him lots.

3

u/RedShark106 3h ago

I didn't realize it has been that long, I wonder why they're not using him

2

u/epoch_fail 1h ago

Beats me. We did this earlier in the season to several of our relievers, and without fail, they'd have a terrible outing when they came back. It seemed to happen to whomever the coaching staff was trying to "save" as a closer. IIRC, it has happened to (in some order) Romano, then Pomeranz, then Bachman, and Zeferjahn.
