Gameday Thread: Mariners @ Angels (9/26/21): Ohtani on the mound, hitting 2nd, Mayfield hitting clean up

[Angel Oracle]

Fletcher as a hitter this year

BOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

What is your freaking problem????

[Angel Oracle]

Maddon has gone the Leonard Tose route.

Puts in Quijada late in a tie game with Seattle fighting for post-season play?

 

[eligrba4ever]

Oops. My mistake on the video. But it was one of those DTLA modern landmark.

Mistake deleted.

Gosselin and Mayfield Definitely not the answer for next season, and Fletcher playing like crap, forgot how to hit.

[eligrba4ever]

Awww. This is slip-sliding away. Thank you, Quijada.

I’m not worried about Fletcher.

I swear if he’s in our bullpen next year…

 

God fuck why can’t this team just spend on some quality relief arms?? 

[Angel Oracle]

I don’t want to see Quijada (gloss KillNada) within 100 miles of a Halos pitching staff next season!!!!

13-113 (.115 BA) since August 25 is nothing to worry about?

This times freaking infinity!

M's up 2-1 now.

GAME OVER!!!

You suck Maddon!

Why didn’t Maddon take Ohtani out after 6 innings?

98 pitches made and with a well rested trio of late innings guys????

Good thing the bullpen came in!

Waits to bring Warren in until two guys on base already.

What is Maddon’s infatuation with KillNada?

[Blarg]

It would have been nice if the Angels could have given Ohtani more that one token run for support. 

[beatlesrule]

Walsh with a bad throw. Bases loaded 1 out.

[eligrba4ever]

I was kinda hoping the Angels could help extend the Mariners' current MLB-leading streak of seasons without a postseason. It's the current longest futility streak. If Seattle makes the playoffs, the honor, if I heard correctly the other day, will fall to the Angels for 2022.

"KillNada" is a terrible nickname.

Token? Because Suzuki homered? 

Wow.

They aren't making the playoffs.

[AngelsLakersFan]

Figures... I turned this game on just a few minutes after Ohtani gave up the homerun.

We did it!

There's still a chance. It would be a thinner chance if the Angels had a win today.

[Angel Oracle]

What is going to change next season, after SIX losing seasons in a row????

NO OTHER MLB team can claim that since 2016!

This franchise is almost a total mess.

Outside of Ohtani, Walsh, and the farm, what is there to look forward to?

Horrible team health!

Horrible FA signings!

Horrible defense!

Horrible manager!

Horribly understaffed scouting!

Proud of yourself, yacht fuel Arte?
