Lol bringing Raisel into a non save situation.

[bloodbrother]

Ok now the Angels will score 2 runs in the bottom of the 9th

[Erstad Grit]

Stop pitching Iglesias in non-save situations. Why is that so difficult to understand??????

Peace out homie.  See you in Foothill Ranch.  

THIRTY losing seasons in 55 as a fan.

Pretty tiresome for the oldtimers like myself

Maybe some day, they’ll finish with a winning record again.

He didnt put any pressure on it going down the steps.

Correct but if it was broken, I am thinking he would have had to be carried off the field right away. Again, I have never broken my knee cap but I'm not sure he would have been able to walk at all.

I try to not get too high or low about games this early on.  Especially when they’re at .500 or whatever.  But I don’t know.  Feeling pretty fucked vibes about this one.  Don’t like it.

I might just be really negative tonight but this is really starting to feel like a typical Angels season.

Complete with the 1yr pitching additions all sucking ass. At least Ohtani is fun again after last years struggles

I think we would all want what Jose Mota's smoking.

[Angel Oracle]

Maddon is no genius.

Why does he continue to pitch Iglesias in these spots when he’s sucked at them all year so far?

he basically was getting carried. 

[UndertheHalo]

The pitching looks really bad, the depth seems bad.  I don’t like the way Maddon manages.  I don’t really have a lot of faith that the front office can or will do anything. Shit sucks.  Need some good stuff to happen for a while to feel a little better about it. 

[beatlesrule]

This team just needs more

While it's hilarious how badly he sucks in any non-save situation, the dude hadn't pitched since last Wednesday. Got to get him some outings to keep him ready

[TheLordofOuts]

Kurt Suzuki will hit the game-tying grand slam

[Angel Oracle]

What’s going to change about this team in the next couple of years, to be confident?

Is it possible he thought the Angels were batting and had just tied the game?

[Adam]

Hey @Lou Iglesias got taken to Escuela

Entirely possible.
