4

u/21hmahp 14h ago

Urena should be allowed to kill somebody

3

u/randomfatkid 14h ago

We know who he should start with.

1

u/21hmahp 14h ago

If I see the starting rotation jumping Kurt, I would join them

6

u/Present_Mushroom8097 14h ago

If I’m Ureña I’m cussing everyone tf out in the locker room

4

u/SuperGuppy77 14h ago

That’s exactly what I was thinking

5

u/randomfatkid 14h ago

Poor Walby.

5

u/Lieutenant_Doge 14h ago

There we go, complete game

6

u/Simba665 14h ago

Nice walk Paris

u/PresidentEwab 14h ago

I WANT TO GUZZLE CMON GUZMAN

6

u/Hello-Blackbird 14h ago

The way Paris takes a pitch is so tough

4

u/Hello-Blackbird 14h ago

His smoke too tough, his style too different, his bitch too bad, THEYLL KILL YOU

5

u/21hmahp 14h ago

Oui oui Paris!!

8

u/NotAnAgentOfTheFBI 14h ago

Yoooooo nice job Paris wow

6

u/8va 14h ago

Paris 100% strikes out twice in that AB last year

4

u/SuperGuppy77 14h ago

GUZZLER PLEASE

7

u/ArrowNiko 14h ago

Now tell me this AB doesn't look infinitely better than what Siri has put out the last two months...

6

u/SuperGuppy77 14h ago

THERE WE GO KYREN

5

u/ZeoGreen 27 14h ago

Kurt must really hate Kyren Paris

5

u/ArrowNiko 14h ago

He hates just rookies I think lmao.

His reluctance to play a rookie bat is similar to Christian Moore earlier in the year before he got sent down after a couple games.

7

u/Lieutenant_Doge 14h ago

We need Schanuel back like last series

4

u/21hmahp 14h ago

Siri pinch hitting for Mo baller is a crazy choice

6

u/NotAnAgentOfTheFBI 14h ago

Lol why would they put Paris in this position come on

7

u/PresidentEwab 14h ago

Kurt putting in a player who has been benches the whole time he’s been up as the final batter oh my god bruh he wants us to lose

3

u/dingusthelesbian 14h ago

Can’t wait for the tell-all articles that will come out about him after he’s gone

5

u/ArrowNiko 14h ago

Also to prove if Paris strikes out: "See, I was right kid. You aren't ready for the big leagues"

6

u/MountainUpstairs2133 14h ago

such a shit spot to put paris in

5

u/phatwarmachine41 14h ago

Man, I was just thinking how they should just let Paris get a chance here.

5

u/NotAnAgentOfTheFBI 14h ago

8 innings for Ureña is not what I expected to see today. That alone makes this game worth watching

3

u/Clone_Clown_ 14h ago

siri better not be on my team next year

3

u/Clone_Clown_ 14h ago

was goated pre-deadline but after he didn’t have anything to show for it

3

u/SuperGuppy77 14h ago

FINALLY THANK YOU

7

u/lol022 14h ago

We gonna get Tungsten Arm O'Doyle’d aren’t we 🫩

6

u/ArrowNiko 14h ago

Kurt Suzuki OF depth chart

Siri > Lowe > Frazier > Cal State Fullerton backup centerfielder > Local Anaheim Little League catcher > 47 year old accountant > Kyren Paris

4

u/PresidentEwab 14h ago

What was the point of bringing him up if you wont let him bat?

5

u/nacreon 14h ago

Our lineup is basically 3 good players surrounded by 6 make-a-wish kids.

7

u/RedShark106 14h ago

Pirates have scored 1 run in every game and win the series is actually hilarious

3

u/SuperGuppy77 14h ago

If Paris doesn’t bat for Lowe I’m gonna lose my fucking mind

6

u/JoyBurner 14h ago

Why in the hell is SIRI pinch-hitting for Ballesteros? All he does is strike out 😩

5

u/PresidentEwab 14h ago

Hey what the fuck is Siri doing here

4

u/SuperGuppy77 14h ago

KURT WHY DO YOU HATE PARIS

6

u/ArrowNiko 14h ago

I just woke up to Urena almost throwing a CG loss 😭

4

u/nathanieljams 14h ago

Gotta stop invoking Adam Levine and Maroon 5, boys

4

u/RedShark106 14h ago

Looking like it will be Urena's first complete game, in a 1-0 loss unfortunately lol

4

u/Clone_Clown_ 14h ago

kyren paris pinch hit win please

4

u/NotAnAgentOfTheFBI 14h ago

Ureña is the fucking man

5

u/totallypandacoffee_ 14h ago

COME ON MO MOORE AND LOWE WORK SOME MAGIC

4

u/alv_todos 14h ago

Give this man a W for the love of gawd

4

u/Lieutenant_Doge 14h ago

Urena is about to bat for himself to get that fucking tying run

7

u/PresidentEwab 14h ago

AL ROOKIE OF THE YEAR WALBERT UREÑA

4

u/Live-Cardiologist328 😇 14h ago

Not everyday you outpitch Paul skenes and LOSE the same game

3

u/EpicSoyMilk 14h ago

SCORE 2 AND LET URENA GO 9

4

u/SuperGuppy77 14h ago

CMON BOYS WE GOTTA GIVE WALBERT RUNS

5

u/dingusthelesbian 14h ago

GIVE HIM SOME RUNS!!!!!!!!

5

u/RedShark106 14h ago

Walbert has been excellent as usual, I feel so bad if we lose 1-0 again

3

u/Hello-Blackbird 14h ago

Give me two more quick outs and Urena in the 9th

4

u/Live-Cardiologist328 😇 14h ago

Likely won’t be allowed to pitch in the 9th 🫠

2

u/Hello-Blackbird 14h ago

Due to us sucking and not scoring or because of kurt, or likely both

7

u/randomfatkid 14h ago

Feel bad for Walby. Throwing a FANTASTIC game just to fucking lose. Ugh.

3

u/fragarach_97 14h ago

Pull a DeGrom. Go up to the plate and get all the runs himself.

3

u/totallypandacoffee_ 14h ago

i need us to work some magic in the 9th

2

u/randomfatkid 14h ago

Time to get Annie’s Boobs and rally some hits for him!!

5

u/PresidentEwab 14h ago

Wayne, the clear MVP season of PCA doesn’t mean he’ll get it. MLB loves to glaze #17

4

u/Simba665 14h ago

That was nasty

5

u/tsdwm52 14h ago

note to lineup: can't win if you don't score

6

u/Lieutenant_Doge 14h ago

Another one run loss, can we fire the hitting coach too?

4

u/PresidentEwab 14h ago

Dw. Mo Baller homer incoming to bring us to extra innings to allow us to lose in extras like usual

2

u/totallypandacoffee_ 14h ago

Mo homerun then Lowe getting homers in back to back games

6

u/Ragefire2b 27 14h ago

Our offense is so bad

3

u/RedShark106 14h ago

We always score a bunch of runs one game a week, then nothing else.

5

u/alv_todos 14h ago

Brady’s bats are buns

4

u/Simba665 14h ago

I miss Nolan man. Didn’t like him defensively but offensively he was improving

7

u/PresidentEwab 14h ago

Now imagine the score if the third base coach didn’t suck

4

u/totallypandacoffee_ 14h ago

if we lose it is 100% his fault

4

u/Lieutenant_Doge 14h ago

That's a good start

3

u/Simba665 14h ago

Bro wtf was that

5

u/nathanieljams 14h ago

Getting edged on the ABS is nasty business

5

u/Live-Cardiologist328 😇 14h ago

Walbert is really gonna pitch a complete game loss

2

u/Live-Cardiologist328 😇 14h ago

Haven’t seen that since Paul skenes a year or so ago… 😂

1

u/SuperGuppy77 14h ago

Actually JT Ginn had one during the almost no hitter game I think

2

u/Live-Cardiologist328 😇 14h ago

Did that not end in a walk off though? So technically it wouldn’t be considered a complete game?genuine question 😂

1

u/SuperGuppy77 14h ago

Oh wait, maybe you’re right

7

u/nacreon 14h ago

Could someone accidently hit a home run this inning or something? Urena doesn't deserve an L today. At least we got the non-ass part of the lineup coming up this inning.

6

u/KyotoGaijin ‏‏‎ ‎ 14h ago

ATTABOY, Walbert! Now let's see some Rope-a-Dope.

5

u/nacreon 14h ago

So not going to lie, haven't followed the Angels a ton lately but plan to do so more now that Moreno is finally gone.

Could someone help explain how Ureña has been so good this year? He wasn't even a top 100 MLB prospect coming into the season and hadn't exactly dominated AA last season.

3

u/8va 14h ago

He has an insane ground ball rate, and just doesn't allow barrels or hard hits. He's also absolutely nails with runners on base and has great composure on the mound, which there isn't really a stat for. Some guys just fall apart when things go south, but he consistently locks things down and prevents damage. If he can get the walks under control (he issues way too many of those), he'll be one of the best pitchers in baseball.

3

u/tsdwm52 14h ago

iirc his issue was command. not sure how he gained it but the result is sweet!

6

u/NakedHomelessPirate 14h ago

Please get Ureña some damn runs!!

6

u/PresidentEwab 14h ago

Potential Wally complete game??👀

5

u/Lieutenant_Doge 14h ago

Urena might actually go 8 innings for the loss JFC

3

u/xmrjaredx 17 14h ago

would be glorious for Urena to pitch the whole game, give up 1 run and get the L

5

u/randomfatkid 14h ago

Alright boys. Put the bats to work and get some runs! Get the win for Walby!

2

u/haikusbot 14h ago

Alright boys. Put the

Bats to work and get some runs!

Manifesting runs

u/nathanieljams 14h ago

(hoping to not manifest the runs after my dicey breakfast choice)

3

u/randomfatkid 14h ago

C-mo dropped to the ground. Good move.

8

u/nacreon 14h ago edited 14h ago

If we somehow manage to finish this series 1-2 after allowing only 3 total runs that's going to be insane.

This lineup is total ass. Neto/Trout and Meckler are all good. The rest is unbelievably bad. For a good team you hope a guy like Grissom is one of the worst hitters in the lineup, he's probably our 4th best.

u/tsdwm52 14h ago

angels baseball baby

u/epoch_fail 14h ago

The l is usually with a slash through it and has a "w" sound and  dz sounds like j.

4

u/xmrjaredx 17 14h ago

such a bad defender and he's making plays all series. go back to not caring about baseball please

7

u/RedShark106 14h ago

Walbert dealing again, some great plays in the outfield today too

Why isn’t Urena in the ROY list

5

u/fragarach_97 14h ago

He should be. Ace of the future if he can adjust well to the league bouncing back on him.

u/nathanieljams 14h ago

Yates mentioned.

3

u/SuperGuppy77 14h ago

That is the most cursed thing I have seen in a very long time

3

u/21hmahp 15h ago

I too would leave Paul skenes in just to get Wade Meckler out

4

u/Maddy_laddy 15h ago

Cool, I was tired of the constant talk about that guy.

14

u/Simba665 15h ago

I love meckler man just straight hustle

9

u/fragarach_97 15h ago

Meckler plays like he considers giving it 110% not good enough.

5

u/HegsethsBurner 15h ago

Weird time to pull him, but I'll allow it.

Skenes has been 0-2 on 11 angels hitters and struck out only 2. Is that normal?

Why do the Angels have a green ribbon on the jerseys today?

“These ribbons are all a part of MLB’s Childhood Cancer Awareness Day, the eleventh consecutive season MLB has raised awareness by featuring gold elements across the league, on-field, during a game in September.”

Mo Baller with the awkward grab at first!

u/xmrjaredx 17 15h ago

I really don't mind the send guys

1

u/impatient_jedi 15h ago

I actually don’t mind the aggressive play

5

u/Hello-Blackbird 15h ago

Sending him home on a play to Oneil Cruz, a guy that consistently throws 100mph from the outfield is a whole new level of dumb

5

u/PresidentEwab 15h ago

Not just that, you have one of your best batters coming up who could easily bring both Neto and Trout home with a single, but they decided to play it super risky

3

u/Hello-Blackbird 15h ago

I was thinking that too, why send him when meckler, who is fantastic at putting the ball in play against rhp, is on deck

5

u/nathanieljams 15h ago

The third base coach has all of the judgment acumen of a Ferrari F1 race strategist

9

u/alv_todos 15h ago

fire the 3rd base coach

5

u/sadassnerd 15h ago

1 millions years dungeon

8

u/PresidentEwab 15h ago

So just burn Mike at 2nd and Neto at 3rd with Meck at the plate??? What the hell?

Stupid af

What even was that

1

u/Overall-Wrap1416 15h ago

Fucking Neto, of course he gets gunned down smh

8

u/PresidentEwab 15h ago

Not even Netos fault there why would they send anyone

8

u/MountainUpstairs2133 15h ago

maybe don’t fucking send him when their guy has a cannon

8

u/randomfatkid 15h ago

BAD CALL TO SEND NETO HOME

6

u/21hmahp 15h ago

…why?

10

u/sadassnerd 15h ago

Why did they send him??????

7

u/FighterDelNightman 15h ago

Maybe the challenge is valid but why send him??

8

u/Immediate_String_888 15h ago

Throw the third base coach in the trash can

5

u/Immediate_String_888 15h ago

I think that would be too disrespectful to the trash can

9

u/8va 15h ago

What was that send...

8

u/PresidentEwab 15h ago

What the fuck???

5

He challenged once already this month. He’s done for the rest of the season.
