Of course that's how the game ended.

That 9th inning was some weird baseball

What goes through Nevin's head in any given game:

Remember when Homer played for Scioscia?

[CaliAngel]

Ball never even left the goddamn infield. 

It's like the Angels when they bat with RISP, except they were playing against the Angels defense that doesn't know its ass from a hole in the ground, so they actually scored.

lol Adell whiffing at a ball what a perfect ending. 

"This is the product we decide to put on the field" - Angels

[TurboFan]

In my opinion this loss is on Nevin. #1 - Should NEVER have Duggar and Velasquez in the same lineup. #2 - should not have pulled Wantz who was breezing for Loup with 2 out in the 8th just cuz the next batter is a lefty. Then they pinch hit with a righty anyway. Cost us the game. Stasis just insured the loss. Pretty awful.

[AngelsHilo]

Agree with Salmon.  Rojas broke too quickly on the rundown forcing Stassi to throw to soon.  Bottom line is Rojas shouldn't be at 3B.

Let's hire the guy as manager who told LaRussa what to do...

[CaliAngel]

I don't understand why our catchers have such a hard time catching the ball before they try to tag out runners. 

Suzuki does this shit all the time.

Walsh blew a rundown on a pickoff the other night too. Instead of running at the runner, he threw too early and essentially let everyone be safe.

Something is very wrong with this ballclub. This is very basic, very fundamental baseball that I can't believe people pay for tickets to watch.

That craziness put Seattle atop the WC chase by a half-game. Congratulations, Angels.

Have the Angels hit rock bottom yet?

Just when we think they've hit rock bottom, they manage to dig a little deeper as the season continues...

Team is full of bums

[m0nkey]

Adell part just reads funny

[failos]

I hope we never see Loup or Stassi again

You should become the catcher. Maybe you’ll finally afford to live in CA, slugger.

FIFY

It's funny.  Well, it will be.  Mariners are gonna play 2 or 3 games on the road in the playoffs and may hang a banner to commemorate the accomplishment

Wild. A lot of luck. Some poor play.

Also, three ball walks don't help

Nice.

Inner diamond defense is so overlooked. And often it's not just one player, but how players act in or out of sync with each other. Little things mean a lot.

Man. You guys ... doesn't matter who the fuck is on the team ... always play us so god damn tough.

That's because of the clubhouse vibe.
