Gameday Thread: Angels @ Orioles (8/25/21): Ohtani on the mound, leading off

[daygloman]

They ain't coming back from this.........

Good for the O's!

The Angels really make good doormats for struggling teams. 

Maybe tomorrow will be our day?

Go Halos!

[Angel Oracle]

The Halos are going to lose this series.

To one of the worst teams of the past two decades!

Wonderful!

I’m sick of Mullins, Mountcastle, and Santander!!!!!

I swear to god if we don’t address the bullpen this offseason and just spend big money on a position player…. This team is going to lose a lot of fans.

Nah, they will still have Ohtani and Trout. Fans will come to see them play.

Uh oh. Hope this isn't an early sign of an ending losing streak.

Well, I guess it may well have been just that. Do theAngels have a 5- or 6-run 9th in their bats?

Nah. There’s a lot of people on the fence with this team right now. If they don’t put together a good bullpen they’ll look at it as another wasted season of prime Trout and Ohtani and will dip.

Yep. Everyone cries that the season's over, yet they go apeshit over losing a game.

This game might affect their playoff run though

Wonder if they'll DFA Petricka after the game?

[Angel Oracle]

I repeat, once this season closes, they and the Pirates are the ONLY teams to finish below .500 since 2016!

Is that plus probably losing 2 out of 3 to the worst team in at least a decade something to not be embarrassed by?

This franchise is a freaking joke.

I think it’s more the principle of being the team that breaks the 19 game losing streak after being up by 4.

[failos]

I’m genuinely starting to hate this team. Never felt this before, but I hate them. I love the 200x teams and Sosh, and I love Trout, Ohtani, Fletch, Weave, Vladdy, and the 2002 dream team(when they were here)—but I hate everything about this franchise. The cheapass Arte with the dilapidated stadium and utterly shitty food and cheap promotions to picking the worst people to run the team—the Skaggs incident. I think I need a break after I attend the game on Friday. This franchise is finished.

They won’t lose a lot of fans as they are dumb enough to keep paying good money to Arte and going to the game. They need to stop giving him money and stop going to the games until he spends money on good players and not the trash that he has now but maybe 4 players.

Trout is 30. He'll soon be running short of the "prime" part.

DFA everyone. This team is trash from top to bottom minus a handful of players.

[AngelsFaninGA]

Who the shit is Petricka? 54 ERA? Eat your shit and launch yourself straight into the sun.

Exactly… next year they need to get it together. If they don’t there will be a lot of people who will be done with the franchise.

I don’t know. I like the offense and the potential of the starting rotation. But yeah the bullpen. DFA everyone besides Raisel.

He was playing indie league ball until the Angels signed him.
