Can you name something that does reflect well on the organization right now?

Besides Ohtani, which was just a purchase...

Sure. But that’s not the point. Point is that the organization called him up without realizing his defense was so bad. Guys are typically allowed to embarrass themselves in front of 15 people in the stands of a minor league game not in the show.

How long does a player need to play in front of 15 people to not throw 30 feet wide of home plate? Let a ground ball go under his glove? Miss a routine fly ball? Hit the cut off man?

These are basic fundamentals. 

I don't understand the love for the guy. He's Brandon Wood 2.0

The dreaded extra innings with the runner on second.

Maybe something good will happen this time.

A clean 1-2-3 10th inning would be refreshing.

Loup is in yay..

[Jay]

I really hate the runner on 2nd thing in extras.

[AngelsLakersFan]

Loup vs Peña… great idea

[TooCool]

Wow, why is Loup so bad???

[AngelsLakersFan]

Loup vs Bregman… great idea

The way the Angels are playing, it's amazing they even got the Astros to Extra Innings when Shohei or Sandoval didn't start.

Well, we get to do it too (I know you know that), but our record with RISP and any number of outs puts us at an enormous disadvantage.

Almost feels like a moral victory.

I’ve already put this one in the moral victory win column. 

[Revad]

Come on, it’s free baseball.  Let’s get a win!

[TooCool]

Swing the god damn bat.

[Revad]

Fuck Walsh

[Jay]

Walsh got a free strike and still struck out.

[AngelsFaninGA]

Walsh really seems to have no clue what's going on at the plate

[CaliAngel]

It's absurdly clear the Walsh is up there completely guessing. 

[nando714]

Can someone find a stat 

do we have the most strike outs looking this season as a team 

swing at 2-0 junk 

don’t swing at close 2-2 pitches 

[Angel Oracle]

Bench Walsh!

That’s most hitters in 2022

Jeremy Reed rules 

[Tank]

Day 1 of little league - when you have two strikes, swing at anything close. 
 

Good grief, the inability of this team to swing with two strikes is infuriating.

Just a purchase. Fucking dolt.
