Gameday Thread (6/21/22): Royals @ Angels

[AngelsFaninGA]

The bullpen seems to make it a point to slam the door on any potential hope

[TrumBomb]

This franchise is an embarrassment to the sport.

Normally I don’t agree with posts that disparage players, but tonight I am.  I wholeheartedly agree with this.  I guess I’ve finally reached my breaking point.

Watching a dogshit team like the Royals beat this team has broken me.  We should be kicking this teams ass, but yet, here we’re are losing.  Again.

Fuck

I hear ya!

I've had a fucked up day, and this game is icing on the fuck'n cake.

When is Minasian going to be held accountable?

He assembled this pitching staff......

Silver lining: we can definitely be sellers this deadline. Maybe we can offload Noah and Lorenzen for some decent bullpen arms for next season. This year is done, can't even beat the god damn Royals at home

[Waybackman]

So much for the battle of the bullpens. 

[Angel Oracle]

Why is this franchise so in love with soft tossers in the pen, when everyone else is putting one hard thrower after another in the pen???!?

I'd keep Lorenzen. He's one of a small select few that shines on the polished turd. 

[HeavenlyHalos]

Minasian is probably gone at the end of the year. This product is completely unacceptable. I mean, he went into the season praying Fletcher would regain form and had zero backup plan for the MIF. On top of that, the asswipe resigns Suzuki as backup Catcher. Horrible plan and he needs to be held accountable

He should be help accountable, it was not well conceived.

Every one realize that Santana was washed up, until this series???

The Angels' pitching can have that effect. I think if Chris Davis came out of retirement, and was in the lineup tonight, he'd go 4 for 5 with 2 jacks.

Expiring contract. Trade him.

Wantz, Iglesias, Ortega, Quijada all throw 96+.

Consider the source!

[Angel Oracle]

And all Arte Moreno will do in the off-season is the same stuff he does every year.

Which hasn’t worked seemingly since the 2000s????

[T.G.]

Buttercup…

[Clark W Griswold]

I enjoy this team’s versatility. The offense has been sucking so when they do put up some runs the pitching says no worries, we got this.

Doesn’t matter how - they will find a way to lose.

[beatlesrule]

There are 12 teams with a worse record than the Angels so at least we have that.

[daygloman]

So.... Since they ALMOST won last night, we should STILL hold hope?

Does that asshole listen to the shit he spouts?

@dayglomanim so with ya man.  I’ve had a dogshit day, and yet the wife talked me into going to the game tonight.  When it was 6-1, I wanted to jam, but nope….the team kept me here.

Now I’m fucked.  Again.  I should have listened to my conscience and not my wife.  Dumb ass.

J. Pierrepont Reagins, Dumbpoto, Billy “Can’t find decent pitching” Eppler, and Perry “Loves soft tosser relievers” Minasian

All hired by Arte Moreno, the real problem with this franchise

Finally doing something good with the speed we have.

Do those teams have anywhere near as high a payroll as the Angels do?  I feel like we get the least bang for the buck of any team in MLB.

Umpire taking that bat out of Wards hands with that first called strike.

The Donald Sterling of the NBA. He spends no money on GM's. (Elgin Baylor was the lowest paid GM his entire tenure there), and somehow expects to win.

I'm sorry man! 

Drive carefully when you split. 

II'm so tired of being Buttercupped!
