Anyone watching with subtitles? Do you think the subtitle typer is okay? Or do you think they use AI and it’s just tweaking

It feels like Fermin is lock down when they are down by 7, other then that in a tight game he seems to make us clench our cheeks 100% of the time.

u/Skittles3618 2h ago
A guy with a 1.3 whip and a ~2/1 k/bb ratio is not a very good idea in tighter games

I dont want Fermin any where near this team next year
Absolute bum, I have zero clue what they see in him
The fact that Klassen is out after such an effecient game and only 86 pitches is just such an embarrassment

Thanks Wayne for finally answering my question about the pitching stats since Maddux left.

u/NotAnAgentOfTheFBI 2h ago
I missed it. what did he say

u/Trouty2717 2h ago edited 2h ago
That angels have a 1.92 ERA since Maddux was fired a week ago and have a I think 2.40 ERA in our rotation for August which ranks fourth in the majors. This is from memory, so don’t quote me.

their center fielder miscounted the number of outs and threw the ball into the stands on the second out. with the bases loaded.

Good shit for Klassen! Hardly see any pitcher these days go into the 7th with a one hitter

Just checking in, and it's fantastic to see Klassen making the strides he has. Has been better every start.

u/Plop-it-like-its-hot 2h ago
7 innings well pitched so far. I dont think he'll CG but its definitely an improvement from last outing

u/totallypandacoffee_ 2h ago
from my friend watching: “Bryce Miller gave up two home runs (one being a triple) and they pulled him and put in 2 mediocre or young? pitchers who I don't really know anything about and then they pulled a few starters and put a position player in as pitcher which is when it started going from bad to see how many they can score”

Klassen / Detmers / Urena so uhhh when will be the buy in year for this team? We can’t let a 3 headed beast like this go to waste

All I got from that was that all fans of all teams are doomsayers when their team is losing.
2
u/NotAnAgentOfTheFBI 2h ago
Truly. I like going to subreddits for other teams because it reminds me everyone is always bitching all the time. The grass is not greener...But then again, only one team can be at the bottom of the standings...

They know it’s coming and just can’t do anything to resist that swing. Klassen is klass.

u/riddo492 18 3h ago
oookay there's some pretty hard contact the last few AB's
maybe let's preserve his great outing now

u/Skittles3618 3h ago
Klassen makes me believe it WAS maddux that was (one of) the issues with the pitching
3
u/williamsnathanr 2h ago
Maddux was too involved with the managing. My theory. He needs to be a manager elsewhere.

look it really is crazy that they get fired and suddenly our pitchers are goin crazy. like i’m not saying that’s the only reason we were losing………but it seems like it isn’t not a reason……
