[TrumBomb]

Shohei really needs to bring it tomorrow. 

[failos]

Time to self ban for a week

[TrumBomb]

Fuck the shift 

[eligrba4ever]

Not enough runway for takeoff at this point.

[Angel Oracle]

What happened to good Tepera and Iglesias!

Both have blown up lately!!!!!

You start something in that situation. I know the chances of a 6-run comeback in the 9th are astronomically low, the the only real chance is stringing together hits and walks, not swinging for the fences.

Blaming any of this game on Trout is just ridiculous.

You're mad he didn't start a 6 run rally in the 9th?

That could not have been a more routine ground ball to Marsh.

This all started with a routine fly if Rendon was where he typically would play.

Marsh has disappeared lately.

Ban the stupid shift!

If you take out the bottom of the 8th inning, the Angels played pretty solid

[eligrba4ever]

Next Angels winning streak begins on Wednesday.

Tonight is why Rengifo needs to be either traded or DFA’d.

Dude is never going to smarten up on the field.   THREE boneheaded plays tonight!

and ended the game on a pitch that almost hit him

[TroutField]

I still can’t believe the 7 run 8th when Tepera came in to protect a ONE run lead lol Trout’s gotta be so annoyed

He's like Jefrey Marte. The guy just will never go away.

[TrumBomb]

Are we worried about the bullpen going forward? 

[fan_since79]

What's with the extended Covid absences of Stassi and Suzuki??

Are they really sick and how long will they need to rehab?

This is the Angels. The bullpen is always a source of concern.

I think some people forget how much thinner our bullpen is with Warren, Bradley, and Quijada all missing

The shrooms kicked in

Seriously it seemed like Maddon didn't care about the game tonight.

First he takes Detmer out early and he keeps Tepera in when he couldn't find the strike zone

Warren has potential but the other two aren't likely to help much at all

[TrumBomb]

On a positive note if we win tomorrow it’ll be another winning road trip and we have Ohtani on the mound.
