Fletcher!

[daygloman]

Go Halos!

[failos]

Very sad

[Slegnaac]

They knew that it was going to rain today, and yet they didn't push Ohtani's start to tomorrow?

[eligrba4ever]

GO ANGELS!!!!

GO OHTANI!!! If the Angels are going to get on the scoreboard, Ohtani will have to chip on in that, too.

[eligrba]

Why do the 5-9 hitters insist on going to plate with a bat?

Finger dyslexia.

[eligrba4ever]

Not the normal Ohtani. Batters who rarely walk, walk 4 times. Batters who K most of the time have just done it twice. And Ohtani is behind by 3.

[Halo in Chicago]

God at least leave Ohtani in the batters box so they might actually pitch to Trout… this team is awful…

Sorry on deck circle

Yep

It’s hard to be a pitcher and a hitter at the same time.

Tigers look like a playoff team today. Pretty sad display by the Angels.

It's hard for the Angels to win more than one in a row. Losing 14 straight is the go-to move these days.

[Angel Oracle]

WTF are Greene, Reyes, and Clemens?

It was bound to happen after a string of good outings.

But did BOTH Detmers and Ohtani have to struggle this weekend against a pathetic offense?

Halos offense, setting baseball back 110 years!!!!   PA-thetic!

Won’t lose 100 games, but franchise record low winning % is in sight.  Just need to go 13-28 to finish 65-97.

Where are the Ohtani fanboys!?  It's raining, so Ohtani shouldn't pitch?!?  Angels lose, it's everybody else's fault.  Angels win, it's Ohtani's credit.  Ohtani just got knocked out of the game!!!  LOL!  Embarrassing Ohtani fanboys, where are you all?

Angels will always be losers.  Who wants to win on a team when other overhyped players always get the credit?  Fact is, Trout and neither Ohtani has elevated the Angels.  Baseball is not just stats - it's about your karma and whether you have that winning spirit to elevate others.  Clearly Trout and Ohtani are losers, not winners.

That's a lot of effort. You should be pumped.

That explains the struggles, plus he is just 9 innings short of matching his 2021 total already.

WTF is Riley Greene?

Four hits the past two games after having a low .600s OPS????

Ohtani is not as good as the hype from his fanboys, and so the excuse now is "It is hard to be a pitcher and batter", or it is hard to be a pitcher"?!!  LOL!  That sounds like an admission from the loser Ohtani fanboys that Ohtani is neither a great batter and nor a great pitcher!  When Ohtani is decent, fanboys scream in ecstasy!  But when Ohtani is mediocre, it's the rain and it's just hard to be a pitcher and batter!  You fanboys are so pathetic!
