Yeah I'm honestly not a big fan of the guy...he's perfect for the video games...but he's a corn ball...hard to go from Rojas to this... 

Did we ever find out why Sutton was let go?

Simply amazing. He completely blew the game last series against Oakland so let's run him out there again. Maddon logic.

With Cishek, results don't matter.

That legitimately might be the season. I hate to be dramatic, but ouch

I swear I've heard this statement for the past 30 or so games...

...wouldn't Eddings be the one getting cucked? If his wife gets cucked....doesn't that mean someone is fucking Eddings...unless...thats what you meant 

Like I said earlier this place can be hard to follow, but I actually think I’ll say:

I agree.

We've seen this play out so often for years now. I keep waiting for them to have a good bullpen again...maybe that'll be next year

[jonickell25]

You can't make this shit up. Ohtani 6 strong. No runs. Offense gives zero help. Ciskek comes in walk, walk, homer. Fucking comical. You can't build your bullpen put of scraps and has beens. This is totally on Perry. This bullpen has cost them countless games.

Not from me. I felt like they had a very reasonable chance at it. But it’s dwindling…

 

[Angelsjunky]

Bring back Scot Shields. He's only 45...he can't be any worse.

This is exactly what all angels fans are thinking.  Damn.  Be gone best players.  

We obviously don’t know how to build around them… we don’t deserve Trout and Ohtani. With this FO and management right now we don’t deserve them.

Reality flash...the seaosn has been over for the last 30 games. We can't beat divisional foes. 

[robblin17]

It’s incredible how this dumbass organization never addresses the most glaring weakness EVERY. SINGLE. YEAR. 

The baseball operations group has got to be the dumbest collective group when it comes to identifying and acquiring talented pitching. 

[jonickell25]

It's honestly not hard. Spend money on pitching. You get what you pay for.

[halonatic13]

What is the harm in letting Ohtani go as long as he can. I'd rather he give up 3 runs than KNOWING our bullpen will do so.  This loss is so on Maddon.

Better spend some real fucking money on bullpen help

The only decent BP arm we have is a FA after the season too lol.

It used to be that Trout had no support. They now have Ohtani so at least they've added one guy to help Trout

Hahaha. How true this is. I originally wrote unreal - until I realize this was an expected outcome.

[Blarg]

More stellar Suzuki defense.

They're being smart managing his workload and he was at 96 pitches. I'm good with how they've handled him this year. Not a Maddon fan, but this bullpen, outside of Iglesias, is horrendous

[Lhalo]

Ohtani is no longer on the mound. Take Suzuki out of this game.
