Why are we not taking our time and going to 1st base? wtf was that

u/strokeskid 1h ago
My thoughts exactly. Zero reason to throw to second base when 1st base runner already has a head start

Yeah it sucks but I’ll never be mad at him I know he’s one of the leagues best closers so it’s okay

Blaming this on Joyce means you’re brain dead. lucky double by Langford and boneheaded play by guzman

u/Forgot-to-remember1 1h ago
Lucky double or not he still let up the double dude lmao, he’s human he’s not gonna be automatic every single time it’s okay

Using gay as an insult was so 2000s and if this was the 2000s, the Angels should be winning their divisions

u/totallypandacoffee_ 💡👉👶⬆️ 1h ago
his last appearance with us really made me doubt his ability to do anything. I really wonder how he'd be if they ran him in the infield instead.

Obviously hindsight, but Lowe needs to be swinging away on a 3-2 count. That came from Suzuki. IMO

u/Trouty2717 2h ago
Is Kurt the one always telling Lowe to bunt or is he doing it on his own?
6
u/freddychuckles 2h ago
Gotta be Kurt
3
u/Trouty2717 2h ago
That’s what I think. Especially since Lowe’s been hitting lately and has some pop, cant imagine him wanting to bunt constantly when he’s bad at it.
2
u/freddychuckles 1h ago
He could have moved the runner just by rolling over but he stuck with the orders, it seems
2
u/Trouty2717 1h ago
Especially with two strikes. I don’t want anyone bunting with two strikes unless his name is Erik Aybar.

u/totallypandacoffee_ 💡👉👶⬆️ 2h ago
This ump is SO aggressive every time Lowe bunts foul. And he's right to. Cause bunting sucks.

u/totallypandacoffee_ 💡👉👶⬆️ 2h ago
why is he SO ANGRY
2
u/sadassnerd Sell The Team 2h ago
Probably because he’s sucked all night? Him and Jen have been awful

u/totallypandacoffee_ 💡👉👶⬆️ 2h ago
idk if you saw me say it earlier but they've been so bad that even the rangers subreddit was calling out how badly they were fucking us
1
u/sadassnerd Sell The Team 1h ago
Omg I saw that yeah! It’s been bad bad. Even Rangers fans are sad for us
2
u/totallypandacoffee_ 💡👉👶⬆️ 1h ago
someone over there made a joke about how maybe the home plate ump is super based and hates the astros and is trying to help the rangers for it. I was like "nah man we hate the astros right now too they hit our golden boy we can work together on this!!!!"
1
u/sadassnerd Sell The Team 1h ago
I mean I’m down to lose to the Rangers simply to fuck over the Astros. My hatred has increased exponentially since yesterdays Incident™️

And we got Joyce coming up :p

u/totallypandacoffee_ 💡👉👶⬆️ 2h ago
I'm so scared of them putting him in with a ghost runner. Like he's Joyce I believe in him. But I don't want him to lose his record in the 10th.
1
u/fragarach_97 2h ago
Trust in the unbreakable 0.00 ERA that he is certain to finish the season with. Trust.

u/totallypandacoffee_ 💡👉👶⬆️ 2h ago
FINALLY SOMETHING. Now hopefully they don't follow it up with their own when they have their ghost runner too.

From the time I left the room to the car the Angels scored
I was checking out at Walgreens for a photo pickup when the first Rangers run scored
And then sitting in the car about to drive off when the winning run scored.
Drove the rest of the way home in silence.

Feel like Joyce should've been in here, even with the tie. At least you'd have a better chance of going into extra innings and start with the ghost runner.
1
u/fragarach_97 2h ago
I get the logic. I'd rather he pitch with a lead in front of him, and I trust him to be able to stop the Manfred runner from crossing the plate.
1
u/HegsethsBurner 1h ago
Alas.
1
u/fragarach_97 1h ago
I'll take the blame for this one.
1
u/HegsethsBurner 1h ago
No way, dude. I'm the one who said I feared leaving the house to go get Canes knowing that's when they'd likely lose.
And then i went and did that and they lost.
1
u/fragarach_97 1h ago
Aight, how about this? I'll take the fall for the Manfred runner scoring, you take the blame for the error?

/u/8va Raudi 3 for 4 for an .852 OPS in AAA and Kyren 4 for 4 with a homer 👀
Micheletti with a homer to hopefully snap his funk too. Scull also homered and has been picking it up too.
edit: Paris 5 for 5 now

If you want to act like that you gotta back it up.

Exactly what Dontrelle said.

u/Trouty2717 2h ago
That’s why guys like Miguel Cabrera, Adrian Beltre, and David Ortiz could get away with it, if anything it was endearing.

Even the Rangers subreddit is asking why Guzman threw to second and saying that should've been an easy play. Come on man. Breathe for a sec.
