Gameday Thread: Angels @ Orioles (8/26/21 10am Pacific start): Barria on the mound, Upton still out

[rafibomb]

Peguero got squeezed all inning but he really should have gotten that last call for a strikeout to end the inning.

Yes! Petricka!

... this losing crap gets old.

Just like your ranting.  If you were funny that would be one thing, but...

A lot of the guys here are lying. It's not all sweetness and light. Losing hurts. Losing because of stupid managers, GM's and players hurts even more.

[Angel Dog and Beer]

Mr. 54.00 ERA coming in!

[T.G.]

LOL

[AngelsFaninGA]

YESS!!!!!!!!!

Spring training in August for the Halos.

Holy M'fn shit. 

[Angel Dog and Beer]

AO to the emergency room, STAT!

This is comical. It’s a lot funnier and more tolerable when you just don’t give a fuck anymore.

It's all about perspective.

The Angels losing doesn't hurt me at all. 

I had an older friend of mine just pass away on Sunday. That hurt.  Baseball doesn't hurt.

Well, this looks like the beginnings of a 19-game winning streak. But then the Birds have the reality of having to win games in the AL East.

[rafibomb]

Don't let that bullpen implosion take away from the fact that the Angels have only been able to score one run on 2 hits (one being a solo homer) against a guy that was 0-8 with an ERA over 8.

Condolences for your loss, TG

I’ve lost four friends from the LB State friends group over the past 16 years, and it’s never easy to work through.

[daygloman]

Too funny. 

Same reliever, SAME problem.

Oh well!

Go Halos!

The lineups have the look of split-squad games in early March.

MLB.com analysis says we should be 10 games below .500. It's amazing that we're not.

[Angel Dog and Beer]

Well done, Angels offense. 6 pitches, three outs in their half. 

[Angel Oracle]

Petricka, worth weight in gold because he helps a team to a higher draft pick.

I hope the Yankees start losing before we see them next week. They're up to 11 wins in a row now.

Cy Akin, just

No, no, more losses equals higher draft pick.

Let the losses roll in.

A baseball team losing doesn't hurt me.

Tank for top 8 pick.   Might as well move up one spot.

When the guy in charge of making that pick is the same guy who put together this bullpen, does it matter at all? 

I don't hate the team. I'm not angry. I just no longer care.

There has never been a moment  - since I attended my first Angels game at the ago of 7 (they were playing the Orioles that day, too) - when I have cared less about the Angels than I do right now.
