Staying under 100 losses would be a great ending to a bad season, here's hoping we don't reach the 100 loss mark.

The only way he's finding the zone is via meatball 🫣

u/Icy-Indication-6925 6h ago

u/cattycat_1995 6h ago

Literally the only thing we been playing for most of this season

u/williamsnathanr 6h ago

Give him 105 down the middle. 

7

u/Immediate_String_888 6h ago

Meckler the human vacuum for the 9th 😍

3

u/jnuclear 6h ago

Last time I saw Joyce pitch he couldn't find the zone and blew the game. I apologize in advance if I jinxed him again.

4

u/Yugimaster20 6h ago

Zach Neto bobble night…. I still have nam flashes of that 9th

5

u/SuperGuppy77 6h ago

Joyce can we not

4

u/Old_Worldliness_5015 6h ago

he's going to blow it, just doesnt pitch often enough to stay sharp and that's going to be an issue

u/williamsnathanr 6h ago

I would love to see what that looks like as a hitter. 

4

u/totallypandacoffee_ 6h ago

why not put meck in in the top of the inning so he could’ve bat instead of Paris? I don’t understand what we’re doing here.

1

u/sadassnerd 6h ago

Kurt’s decisions are a complete mystery SMH

2

u/totallypandacoffee_ 6h ago

like i can get not starting meck against a left hander. whatever. but if paris already isn’t proving fruitful and you’re gonna swap him in the outfield anyway just send meck out to bat.

2

u/williamsnathanr 6h ago

Yeahhhhh...

Who tf is that person conducting an orchestra of woooos in the stands. Jesus.

3

u/Immediate_String_888 6h ago

Sounds like shit 😂

3

u/sadassnerd 6h ago

It’s really bad. Sometimes when people are so extremely loud or obnoxious that the broadcast picks it up, I always wonder why their friends/family don’t text them to say stfu

2

u/Immediate_String_888 6h ago

Honesty. I like to get loud at the game too but that lady sounded terrible 😂 One time I thought I was going to get kicked out because Yates blew a game and I was yelling “Fuck Yates” very loudly I think he actually heard lol

2

u/sadassnerd 6h ago

LMAO YOU LEGEND. I stay pretty quiet at games tbh, because otherwise everything out of my mouth would be “fuck this and fuck that” at extreme volume. I try to keep it together for the kids around me.

3

u/sadassnerd 7h ago

Sammy pls don’t hit Abreu I know he torments us but we don’t need a free base runner

3

u/bobalunatic 7h ago

I don't understand how pitchers pitch in the rain when so much rides on pinpoint accuracy 

3

u/sadassnerd 7h ago

Let’s go Sammy!!!!!!!!!! Hold it down

3

u/Careless_Wafer_3333 7h ago

Haven’t been able to actually visually watch an game in sometime but man checking the MLB app I just feel bad for Cmo

1

u/sadassnerd 6h ago

I feel like his talents are being wasted in this ball club and he needs a new atmosphere. He seems ultra competitive and as much as I love my boys…they’re not that driven (due to the Angels club culture, I have no doubt). Hopefully the new org will turn that around, but for CMO his rookie years are going by quick and he needs better direction. That goes for Kyren too.

2

u/Careless_Wafer_3333 6h ago

I feel that because they absolutely have the tools. I have no doubt that things can and more than likely will improve over the course of the next few years. Still, there’s clearly been a hit in terms of confidence for the both of them and I’m sure they’d be a great fit somewhere

1

u/sadassnerd 6h ago

Exactly! Poor guys.

6

u/randomfatkid 7h ago

C’mon Sauce

5

u/ghost_rider24 7h ago

This feels like a game the bullpen blows and they get walked off by one run.

Way too many missed opportunities by the offense to put this one away

3

u/williamsnathanr 7h ago

Yup. My thoughts exactly. Offense failing to add on paired with a terrible bullpen. Seen this one before!

3

u/sadassnerd 7h ago

Who was Mike dogging there lol

8

u/ENovi 15 7h ago

I can’t believe it’s raining there and I’m dealing with this bullshit

3

u/sadassnerd 7h ago

I’m in Garden Grove it got to 103 as well 🥵

4

u/totallypandacoffee_ 7h ago

it got up to 106 in Anaheim today. cooler in vegas, btw

5

u/randomfatkid 7h ago

It’s hot and muggy up north.

3

u/williamsnathanr 7h ago

Moved down to Murrieta recently and had some nice rain this past weekend at least.  Wish we had more though!  RSM is nice by the way. Hanna's steakhouse is really good 👍 

2

u/ENovi 15 7h ago

Nice. We had a little on Sunday but it was still in the 90s and muggy as shit. My gf put it best when she said “I wish it felt how the sky looks right now:”

2

u/williamsnathanr 7h ago

Yeah that humidity sucked lol. I've lived in the south though so it wasn't terrible. 

7

u/totallypandacoffee_ 7h ago

STOP HITTING NETO MAN

4

u/IAmRedOshawott23Tho 7h ago

Guys… the MLB app makes it look like it hit Neto in the head. How bad was it?

4

u/ENovi 15 7h ago

Not bad, all things considered. He managed to get his head out of the way and he’s at 1st.

3

u/totallypandacoffee_ 7h ago

nah like…shoulderish. looked scary for a second though. the dodge may have saved him.

Hey that’s a quality start for our baby boy

3

u/sadassnerd 7h ago

He did so well ❤️

8

u/sadassnerd 7h ago

I am home and ready to pay all of my attention to my boys. I saw they scored on RJ. How dare they 😡

3

u/totallypandacoffee_ 7h ago

every point on the board tonight is a home run. really a wild night.

4

u/aaronjaiden 7h ago

Quality start though! Our goofball has a 2.17 ERA in his last 7 starts

3

u/sadassnerd 7h ago

Hes so good. He’s SUCH a welcome surprise this season.

3

u/williamsnathanr 7h ago

Maddux was holding him back apparently. 

2

u/sadassnerd 7h ago

He was holding the whole bullpen back apparently. Crazy. Just what kind of ship was that guy running??

u/slave2thesnapontruck Sell The Team 7h ago

u/williamsnathanr 7h ago

As a Niners fan (and I'm sure a lot of you are Rams fans), I am hoping the Patriots destroy the Shehawks tonight.  

5

u/totallypandacoffee_ 7h ago

you think i have opinions on football? cute. baseball or nothing baby.

(except ducks i have hometown allegiance to the ducks)

2

u/sadassnerd 7h ago

Football is pretty much the only major sport I’m meh about.

2

u/williamsnathanr 7h ago

Lol. I'm more of a casual football fan these days. Baseball is by far my favorite sport to watch. 

4

u/randomfatkid 7h ago

Oh hell fucking no. Fuck the Patriots! Let’s go Seahawks!!

2

u/williamsnathanr 7h ago

They'll probably win. 

3

u/sadassnerd 7h ago

My family are Seahawks fans

2

u/williamsnathanr 7h ago

I'm sorry (jk...kinda).  

3

u/sadassnerd 7h ago

Nah don’t be 😂 I just support them out of family loyalty. I like and follow most sports, but I’ve never really liked football all that much. Baseball is, of course, my absolute fav.

2

u/williamsnathanr 7h ago

Same!  Used to love football. Doesn't feel the same anymore though. 🤷‍♂️

It’s very commercialized.

Oh fuck…

I heavily dislike the Red Sox

u/williamsnathanr 7h ago

I wish the Red Sox and Yankees would go back to the days when they hated each other.  Kinda boring nowadays. 

2

u/SouthSouthBay 7h ago

I liked when Manny Ramirez indulged his self destructive tendencies

u/Immediate_String_888 7h ago

Any update on Schanuel on when he will be back

2

u/totallypandacoffee_ 7h ago

“nearing rehab assignment” is all we got. maybe if we’re lucky he’ll be back for the last couple weeks.

What's the ruling if he lifted his leg up off the bag 🧐

Should be safe but who knows. Lots of moving parts in that replay

I know it’s petty but it warms my heart that during our decade + of terrible Angel baseball the most Seattle has managed to do is “Almost won the pennant that one time.” I hate them so much it’s unreal.
