[eligrba4ever]

Thaiss' fingerprints are all over this inning.

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Unfucking believable

Good call.

Jesus fucking christ, 5 minutes of Angels baseball and there's been a terrible Ohtani at bat, a pitcher trying to give the game away, and a catcher with a thumb up his butt. I've had enough, I'm turning this shit off...

Great call.

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

So yeah, promising start to the season but the holes have really been exposed and they're huge. We need a backup C and bullpen help. Tepera and Loup have got to be DFA. They're horrible. 

[OregonLAA]

That legit might be it for Thaiss. Feel bad for the dude 

[Stradling]

Some idiot is going to blame Tepera.

why am l worried?

This is why...

[bloodbrother]

Tepera stinks so gifting 2 base runners with him on the mound is just asking to lose.

I'm surprised you could on your apparently shitty audio feed.

You really are a dumbass grasping at straws aren't you?

It was *last* inning during the Angels at bats. And if you weren't trying to be such a dipshit you would have read that the STADIUM audio was louder than the commentators, so I can hear plenty of the action on the field.

Have any of you ever seen a catcher do that twice in one inning? Literally... ever? 

Sean Murphy did it last year apparently (I just Googled).

[AngelsFaninGA]

So we're about to be 7-7 and have led in I think all but one of those games, and by multiple runs in all but like 2 of them. What a bunch of clowns.

Now the magic hat is helping them play great defense and pitch well in relief. It's more powerful than I imagined. And I didn't know it had this sweet design on the underbill...
 

Where is that fuggin hat now, plz

He's just not a catcher. Not his fault that the team is misusing him.

Good company.

[gurn67]

Amazing how every other team's bottom third of the lineup can hit Angels' pitching no problem. Angels bottom third of the lineup can't hit squat with the exceptions of O'Hoppe and Urshela. If Drury had been hitting 6th tonight and Urshela 7th, the Angels would have scored about 2 runs.

[Jason]

What upside does Thaiss have to justify him being on the roster?

[jsnpritchett]

If the Angels don't come back to win, 6 of their 7 losses will be from the bullpen.  So far, Suarez is the only starter with a loss.

Yep. They moved him off catcher when he was coming up through the minors for a reason. Should get Wallach up here as the backup now. Nobody looks for offense when it comes to the backup catcher anyway, so get someone up here who can be competent behind the dish

[HeavenlyHalos]

Take him out please

Cause they used a high draft pick on him like 7 years ago

[greginpsca]

This team just keeps inventing new ways to lose.

[TroutField]

Same ol same ol from the angels. Not Tepera’s fault but no idea why Nevin continues to think he is a good option in close games. 
 

team cannot protect a lead to save its life. Back to .500 

[fan_since79]

But remember, none of this is Tepera's fault. We're idiots to suggest otherwise.

 

[SoWhat]

Ben Joyce cannot be any worse than Tepera. Please DFA this walking trash can and call up Joyce 

[Biergott]

Omg this is an ugly inning
