Walking the tying run into scoring position. ???

4 more years!

[OregonLAA]

What a fucking loser

[eligrba4ever]

IT CAME DOWN TO TROUT ... UNTIL IT ALL COMES DOWN TO ALBERT. 

COME ON, BIG FELLA!!! Muscle memory and all that.

[OregonLAA]

Lazy ass fly ball. Left 6 runners on base in his last 2 at bats. Absolutely pathetic

[bloodbrother]

Bases loaded in the 7th and 9th and he can't even bring 1 run in, but he does lead the team in RBI so he's still a quality run producer!

[HeavenlyHalos]

lol, he's so fucking bad.

[thebloob]

Oh yeah.  Forgot it was pujols.  

[eligrba4ever]

Sigh. First-pitch swinging fly out. Next winning streak starts with Game 132.

[JustATroutFan]

So many wasted oppurtunites in this game for the Angels and a mistake from Simmons on defense! Out of everybody!

[DMVol]

Awful 2 AB's from Albert...

[TooCool]

Ridiculous.

[bloodbrother]

Great game showcasing how Pujols has negatively impacted the team's overall success this season. The WAR reflects that but today's game was a good visual

[robblin17]

Don't worry guys, ALEX CURRY will ask the tough questions. 

[thebloob]

Pujols will say he had a great game. 2 hits. Average went up.

But as all things go for anyone, good things don't last forever, one day Albert WON'T be batting 3 and opposing teams won't have that extra comfort level they had this year getting free outs.

Forever lasts 4 more years..

Altuve ran that ball out for a single and willed his team to regain the lead.  

We lost the game when we failed to score again in the 7th.

Albert lost today's game it's that simple.

Seems like objectively.  Bedrosian lost the game. 

He's the guy everyone was losing their minds over absolutely having to be the closer a few weeks ago.

You guys are getting all worked up over a team that isn't gonna win shit this year.  The better draft pick we get the better.  I'm just happy the team is sort of fun and worth watching weekday evenings. 

[rottiesworld]

We lost the game when Bedrosian came into the game.  What a damn loser, just needed one more out and couldn't even do that.

Simmons didn't charge Atuve's grounder. Trout didn't go back quick enough on that deep fly ball where he looked like Nelson Cruz flailing at it. If either play is made, and both were very makeable plays, the Angels take a 1 run lead into the 9th.

Yes, Bedrosian pitched like Bedwetter after getting two quick outs. Sometimes your defense has to make plays to cover for that.

Yea I mean.  Both were played imperfectly.  Both Trout and Simmons are great defensive assets.  Shit happens.  

bottom line is that anyone who actually follows this team should have understood last January that .500 or slightly above was about the ceiling for this group.  It's silly to get all wound up.
