They won but I’m still pissed at how bad this team is.. even if the offense pulls its head out of it’s ass this bullpen is absolutely one of the worst in the majors. There have to be better options somewhere, ANYWHERE

Superfan Alert

If you can’t enjoy the win why even be a fan?  Seriously, this is a hobby, why have a hobby that makes you pissed even when the outcome is positive.

Ya... player of the game my ass. Reason they’re interviewing Simmons and not Calhoun 

Keep watching . . . 

[Angel Oracle]

I was pissed at the first 8 innings.

Love that 9th inning!

Big cajones to escape tying run at 3B with no outs on the road!

Big win and much needed!

Great win! Downside is now we have to put up with the smug dinguses and the catfighting on the board.

As for me, I saw this win coming all the way and I'm better than everyone else for it. 

[Slegnaac]

Hopefully this come from behind win will give them some momentum. 

[aznhockeyguy]

No one cares how bad you were for the first 8 innings.  If you made the game saving play you get player of the game. 

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

I thought we lost this game 3 separate times...

Careful. I once allegedly challenged a certain 45 year old bat boy to a fight. Now, I'm almost that age, though. So...

Stephy had a wonderful way of making friends.

Hopefully good Tropeano shows up tomorrow and we can snag a series win before heading to a New York. We owe the Yankees an ass whooping

Why does it matter to you? Isn’t this a forum to discuss the Angels? Even chuck vents when they suck.. sorry to the super fans that always think it’s rainbows and butterflies.

Even if you committed the two bonehead plays that costs us three runs.....no I dont think so.

[Angel Oracle]

I’m enjoying this win, will worry about tomorrow when it happens.

Oh, no I don’t mind critiques.  I am just curious if you will enjoy it, since you said they won but you still weren’t happy.  I do my very best to enjoy my hobbies, and if I didn’t I would do something else.

Exactly!

Kole Calhoun leads MLB with 7 outfield assists and is on pace for 22 this season.

Because I know the bullpen still sucks and will continue to be an issue all year unless it’s addressed ? Lol this is a game at the end of the day, not like it actually affects my life. Not like I’m walking around pouting because my favorite baseball team is struggling

I enjoyed it.  You are also the MVP of this thread, thank you for your contribution.  

Wait. Shit. I didn’t know we could win Thread MVP! Most important thing I’ve read in this thread.

Congrats to Newbie Nobody, Part-Time Poster, or whatever his name was on winning this fine AW award.

So, the same number of assists as hits?     I kid, I kid....

This team is just doomed on signing outfielders to long term deals since Torii Hunter. Upton has been meh so far and Calhoun has forgotten how to hit on an epic level

There are about 18 weeks left until somebody plays in the postseason. Calhoun has NEVER had an offensive slump this deep, although -- if I recall his splits -- his worst months have been early.

99.9% chance they tie this game.

85% chance they win.

I agree.

Idiot.
