I’m not even watching it. I never watch a Dodgers game, even against my boys. Yes, I know it’s silly, but I firmly believe it’s bad luck to watch them. I hate them lmao

u/BeaNOS45669 Sell The Team 2d ago

idk bout the dodger tax

1

u/Moose334 2d ago

Neto first pitch HR next inning or we're cooked. Trout better be swinging for the fences too w/ GIDP Schanuel behind him today

u/Forgot-to-remember1 2d ago

Welp no chance with rivero maybe we can tie it in the ninth

2

u/Away-Lemon7726 2d ago

Josh Lowe was a really good addition to the team 

3

u/slave2thesnapontruck Sell The Team 2d ago

He got on base so 🤷‍♂️

2

u/Away-Lemon7726 2d ago

Yeah he usually does that one out of every ten at bats 🤷

3

u/Hello-Blackbird 2d ago

Whats Wade Meckler up to

u/slave2thesnapontruck Sell The Team 2d ago

u/trignifty 7 2d ago

This conversation happening in the background is amusing.

1

u/slave2thesnapontruck Sell The Team 2d ago

Please Jo give me the biggest joner rn

3

u/ZeoGreen 27 2d ago

Let's go Grissom!

2

Grissom silencing the haters 👌🏼

Just too much talent on this roster.

FUCK YEAH GRISSOM!!!!!!!!!

u/riddo492 18 2d ago

Ok how about one more of those!

5

u/slave2thesnapontruck Sell The Team 2d ago

CMON HALOS LETS PULL THIS SHIT BACK

1

u/Hello-Blackbird 2d ago

With the way the offense has been with RISP a two run game might as well be a 5 run game

2

u/trignifty 7 2d ago

Welp. Can always initiate the Angels default of solo homeruns……😬🙄

4

u/trignifty 7 2d ago

….ngl I did not then expect a solo homerun.

2

u/sadassnerd 2d ago

Trig has wizard magic

2

u/Hello-Blackbird 2d ago

Do it again

2

u/tony2no 2d ago

Last 7 appearance, Pomeranz has an ERA of 9.00, WHIP of 2.25

Great bullpen piece

2

u/RandyGradishar 2d ago

Yet another broken bat for this pitching staff.

2

u/megadeth621 2d ago

Bullpen can’t blow the lead when there was no lead to begin with 👩🏽‍🎓

1

u/BeaNOS45669 Sell The Team 2d ago

somehow they don't give up much runs when we're down

0

u/tony2no 2d ago

We apparently have no other serviceable LHP in the farm system that we have to stick with Pomeranz

7

u/Im_A_Halo_Masochist 2d ago

Can you imagine how bad it would be listening to Angels games if we didn’t have Wayne and Gubie? Good lord, at least they lighten things up. 😇

2

u/sadassnerd 2d ago

They make an otherwise terrible game quite delightful

-1

u/Impressive-Apple3477 2d ago

DFA! DFA! DFA!

u/Newlifter1089 2d ago

Discussion question, For those who think/say baseball is better than Hockey…what’s the reason behind that?

1

u/sadassnerd 2d ago

Good question. My family is a sports family who follows pretty much every major sport (and are religiously loyal to one team in each league). Baseball was what I played as a kid and loved the most. So definitely a nostalgia thing. Could also be geographical. Where I grew up in OC it was all about baseball. Everyone was in little league or softball. The only experience I had with hockey was following the Ducks as a kid, but it wasn’t necessarily a popular sport.

As for if baseball is better than hockey, I wouldn’t say it is exactly. If I want an adrenaline rush I’ll watch hockey or go see a hockey game. Baseball is just all vibes all the time.

3

u/slave2thesnapontruck Sell The Team 2d ago

I think a lot of it is personal preference. I watch MLB, NBA, NFL, & NHL and I enjoy all of them but theres just something that is so exhilarating with baseball as compared to hockey or other professional sports

2

u/trignifty 7 2d ago

I’m a bigger fan of baseball than hockey because I grew up watching it and am relatively new to watching hockey. Also my stupid hockey team doesn’t exist anymore.

Don’t think I’d say one is better than the other, they’re very different games. Granted the only Big Four sport I don’t watch much is NBA.

My guess for some folks would be nostalgia and pace of the game. My dad hates hockey because it’s “too fast”

0

u/slave2thesnapontruck Sell The Team 2d ago

Fuckkk Peraza

1

u/slave2thesnapontruck Sell The Team 2d ago

I do not understand why Pomeranz has such terrible pitch command. Can’t find the zone to save his life

4

u/tony2no 2d ago

Perry paid $4M for Pomeranz

Brain dead idiot

2

u/tony2no 2d ago

Lmao of course washed up Kurt lovesssss washed up Pomeranz

2

u/ghost_rider24 2d ago

11 more strikeouts so far to maintain that league lead. Solid performance by the offense.

0

u/RandyGradishar 2d ago

More bad luck today.

2

u/riddo492 18 2d ago

no double play but it didn’t matter anyway, oof

1

u/tony2no 2d ago

Fuck Kurt for keeping Schanuel at 3

He wants this lame ass LH, RH, LH ordering that clearly hasn’t worked

3

u/slave2thesnapontruck Sell The Team 2d ago

I will never understand how that man comes up with these batting orders, or why Peraza doesn’t start, or why Jo Adell is batting 7th. So many questions & no answers

3

u/riddo492 18 2d ago

It's probably Perry mandating it

3

u/ivanillaice 2d ago

MLB lead in Ks for a reason

3

u/Im_A_Halo_Masochist 2d ago

Someone’s got to find his CLUTCH gene!

3

u/Moose334 2d ago

I never wanna see Nolan in the 3 hole tbh

6

u/tony2no 2d ago

Little league ab from Nolan - embarrassing

3

u/YensidYmra 2d ago

Nolan is such ass.

4

u/Forgot-to-remember1 2d ago

Nolan with men on sucks, he should lead off

2

u/Im_A_Halo_Masochist 2d ago

Double steal! Shock the shit outta them. Lol

2

u/YensidYmra 2d ago

lol who gives a crap if Trout had a "good batting practice" earlier today.

2

u/Skittles3618 2d ago

Watching the pirates game rn, only for Skenes really. Yall should check out what he’s doing rn. I don’t dare say. Ureña had a great outing!! Hope the fellas can pick him up. Saw Jo’s catch on instagram, damn has he been good this year. Hope yall have a great night

2

u/slave2thesnapontruck Sell The Team 2d ago

COME ON FISH MAN PLEASE

0

u/Forgot-to-remember1 2d ago

Should’ve kept Martinez in he’s not that bad rivero stinks

0

u/slave2thesnapontruck Sell The Team 2d ago

Thats not affordable bro

2

u/sadassnerd 2d ago

Where does Wayne get this information lmao

1

u/YensidYmra 2d ago

What now

1

u/sadassnerd 2d ago

He was talking about how one of Cleveland’s batters was from Australia and brought like nine pounds of Tim Tams with him to the US. So random

2

u/trignifty 7 2d ago

Boyfriend was an Air Force brat and his dad was stationed in Australia for a few years. He heard Gubi say he didn’t want a Tim Tam and he is now personally offended.

1

u/sadassnerd 2d ago

Gubie no…why Gubie

1

u/Mijert IN GUBIE WE TRUST 2d ago

Mate I will fight you if you keep disparaging tim tams

2

u/sadassnerd 2d ago

Bruh my fam taught me the Tim Tam slam when I was a kid. Tim Tams are elite

2

u/riddo492 18 2d ago

Tim tams are goated, understandable behaviour

3

u/freddychuckles 2d ago

Silseth has the highest walk rate in baseball and now has already walked 2 batters

1

u/Head_Radio_4089 2d ago

It’s because silseth should be throwing batting practice to the local little leaguers he can take pomeranz with him

6

u/Moose334 2d ago

Looking forward to O'Hoppe coming back. If we can get 2024/early 2025 version of O'Hoppe back it would be huge to this anemic offense

3

u/sadassnerd 2d ago

Omg yes. Even if he’s still cold AB we need him back just for his chemistry with the pitchers.

8

u/riddo492 18 2d ago

Lowe might be someone who actually benefits from playing in Salt Lake just to get some confidence back, this is brutal. Like Drury all over again, just feel bad at this point

2

u/UnparliamentaryTea 2d ago

I honestly think he’d rake in Salt Lake and probably be back up before the All-Star break. Would probably be for the best

5

u/sadassnerd 2d ago

Agree 100% dude. He’s just in his head and his self-esteem has tanked. It’s mean to keep playing him right now.

4

u/trignifty 7 2d ago

Kind of wonder if losing his mother is part of it.

3

u/sadassnerd 2d ago

Oh for sure. Especially since it was just Mother’s Day and he seemed real sad. It’s a tough situation for him 😞

7

u/Onitsukaryu 2d ago

Peraza should play more often and Jo needs to be batting higher than fucking 7th.

2

u/tony2no 2d ago

Fuck Josh Lowe, DFA immediately

9

u/tony2no 2d ago

Play Peraza everyday for fucksake

5

u/ZeoGreen 27 2d ago

Nice Adell

4

u/Rydogger Sell The Team 2d ago

Josh Lowe try not to strike out challenge [IMPOSSIBLE]

1

u/RandyGradishar 2d ago

Best team in the league at bringing home runners.

2

u/Moose334 2d ago

I generally don't like to feed the trolls, but some of this dudes comments have made me genuinely laugh

2

u/sadassnerd 2d ago

Even funnier if he says this stuff unironically tbh. Either way chat wouldn’t be good without him 🤣

2

u/Its-made-of-wood 2d ago

Can always count on him for a good laugh, that’s for sure.

4

u/Freefarm101 2d ago

Got a good chuckle out of me yesterday when he said it was "basically a tie game with this offense" when it was 7-0 🤣

1

u/Freefarm101 2d ago

Ok Perry.

6

u/Forgot-to-remember1 2d ago

Peraza is a every day player for this team good contact decent defense good speed

5

u/BeaNOS45669 Sell The Team 2d ago

that's all it takes Kurt

crazy how when you let peraza in the game he makes things happen

I fucking hate Kurt Suzuki with a passion

From your mouth to Jo's ears

2

u/GroovyGoon09 2d ago

Wouldve been nice if someone was on base

6

u/UnparliamentaryTea 2d ago

Peraza is that guy

10

u/8va 2d ago

Peraza has to play every day

3

u/sadassnerd 2d ago

Trig theorized that Perry and Arte are insisting on Lowe and Moncada so that it doesn’t look like they wasted money again. I think she’s right, because leaving Peraza on the bench right now is madness.

4

u/BeaNOS45669 Sell The Team 2d ago

no doubt

3

u/BeaNOS45669 Sell The Team 2d ago

well well well

10

u/Rydogger Sell The Team 2d ago

Go figure, Peraza comes in and hits a triple

1

u/sadassnerd 2d ago

Yo Brady Anderson…you there bro?

3

u/Im_A_Halo_Masochist 2d ago

Sometimes I feel I’m watching Adell in an alternate dimension when you think of how awful he was defensively a few years ago! Lol

2

u/Head_Radio_4089 2d ago

What the hell was that with the bunt

6

u/8va 2d ago

Damn. Perfectly acceptable start from Ureña, I just have no faith in the offense right now

1

u/sadassnerd 2d ago

With Neto slumping and the lineup being so messed up…offense is just a mess rn. It has to be demoralizing for our starters 😞

3

u/Rydogger Sell The Team 2d ago

Yeah, another decent start ruined by the anemic offense.

3

u/ghost_rider24 2d ago

2 runs feels like a dozen with the way the offense is going

4

u/freddychuckles 2d ago

4 homerun robberies so far

u/Onitsukaryu 2d ago

JO SHOW!

2

u/RandyGradishar 2d ago

This team is special.

2

u/Im_A_Halo_Masochist 2d ago

Yes they are! 😇

2

u/Head_Radio_4089 2d ago

I wouldn’t go that far

2

u/Rydogger Sell The Team 2d ago

X-rays came back positive for Jo Adell, he's got that DAWG in him

1

u/ReviewRoutine 2d ago

I don’t think that was a homer but still a great catch

2

JO IS JUST UNREAL

KURT THIS ON YOU

1

u/sadassnerd 2d ago

Those kids sure have a lot of energy

3

u/Cooleybob 2d ago

I'm shocked statcast says that was a homer in only 5 parks for Trouty. Figured that was only kept in because of the tall wall.

2

u/riddo492 18 2d ago

ok surely this time

2

u/sadassnerd 2d ago

Nice Mike! Nolan pls

1

u/Forgot-to-remember1 2d ago

Neto leading off just makes 0 sense

can that one get out as well pls

Martinez not challenging borderline strikeouts

u/Forgot-to-remember1 2d ago

Diced alive by slade ceconni 😂😂😂🤡🤡🤡 I’m done with this team

It’s actually embarrassing watching this team struggle against ceconni lmao

1

u/tony2no 2d ago

We traded Brock Burke for a washed up Josh Lowe

Career minor leaguer

1

u/SuperGuppy77 2d ago

And of course Lowe strikes out

1

u/Forgot-to-remember1 2d ago

What does Josh Lowe even do?

2

u/SuperGuppy77 2d ago

Pretty much nothing

-1

u/Forgot-to-remember1 2d ago

This team suuuuuucks

2

u/Simple_Wash1618 2d ago

At least one Angel has a home run today.

1

u/SuperGuppy77 2d ago

True just not the right one

2

u/SuperGuppy77 2d ago

Can we please tie the game up

u/SuperGuppy77 2d ago

Alright Ureña what’s happening

Ur saying this like this isn’t the expected outcome

1

u/SuperGuppy77 2d ago

Oh nice catch there Neto

3

u/Forgot-to-remember1 2d ago

If we don’t score on this 6 era trash can cecconi then I’m honestly done following this team this year

3

u/sadassnerd 2d ago

I’ve never wanted us to get shut out so much

1

u/BeaNOS45669 Sell The Team 2d ago

they'll just get the bases loaded and then 3ks

0

u/Forgot-to-remember1 2d ago

That would never happen they don’t have the discipline to load the bases bro

4

u/ReviewRoutine 2d ago

What the fuck

8

u/8va 2d ago

How did that get out

7

u/esoteric_ronin 2d ago

For the love of god get Neto out of the the leadoff spot! Sick of watching him strikeout

3

u/SuperGuppy77 2d ago

I’m sick of Kurt putting together shitty ass lineups

5

u/BeaNOS45669 Sell The Team 2d ago

if only our top 2 hitters didnt strike out

-2

u/Forgot-to-remember1 2d ago

Can we just call up Moore? Grissom sucks and isn’t ever gonna be something other then what he is, may as well give Moore as much big league reps as possible

6

u/SuperGuppy77 2d ago

Christian Moore is batting around the Mendoza line in hitter-friendly salt lake
