They should bean whichever player it was that spotted Thaiss foot half an inch off the plate.

Thaiss may be able to hit a bit, but he's a low IQ player

So one guy, who mainly plays if someone else is hurt?

Moniak cost them this game.  Just fucking awful tonight.

We should be able to handle Miami but they are not a bad team, and will be over .500 after tonight.

They actually are a bad team. Have you seen their run differential? They should be 10 games under .500

I really hope Ohtani doesnt stay with this team

We'd better trade him and get a haul of prospects. No excuse if we lose him with nothing in return.

You asked

[T-angel]

Its over now. A few obvious decisions that could have been made this game to have a better chance to win. No use paying for a better club when you don't maximize it when the games are actually played. How much more is the Angels payroll than the Marlins? 2 to 1 probably? They've played like the better team this series even without two generational players and nowhere near the payroll. Hats off to them. 

[AngelsLakersFan]

Lmao, heading to the bottom of the 10th down a run. Oh wait, nope!

As the ump said we have our heads in our asses.

See that Mickey?????

OMG now Thaiss didn't even have his foot on the plate on that inning ending double play. Angels defense throwing this game

Unfortunately it's not the first time.

That outcome is on replay. Shit like that can just happen. No one would ever know if we didn’t have a microscope on every play.

Professional Major League players should not make that many mental and physical errors in an entire game let alone in one inning. This craps been going on for years. Nobody is ever held accountable for the historically mellow, laid back, who cares attitude of this team. Lack of intensity leads to this type of crap.

[Erstad Grit]

Should be a tie game

[Mark68]

This one is on our duh!fense.

The thing about the Angels is that normally good players will periodically have games so awful that they single-handedly lose games (Barria's meltdown against the A's, Thaiss and his two catcher interferences, etc). The volatility on the downside is comical. 

[Slegnaac]

Come on Zach get hit by a pitch

[AngelsLakersFan]

I’m gona go out on a limb and say this is the worst game this year

[Angel Oracle]

What happened to the much improved defense tonight?

Should have won in regulation.

Does someone need to teach the pitchers how to throw the ball to the bases?

Why did Nevin put Barria back in the pen and then double down putting him in with the ghost runner?

The last time Baria pitched in extras against A's was brutal too

Could be a new daily record for most unfounded statements in one single post.

I mean really that should have probably won it. Marlins shouldn't have scored any run that inning

But Moniak

[daygloman]

Lost the series.

It's too late in the fucking season to get bent, anymore.

I'll say it AGAIN.....

3rd, or 4th place in late September.

Unfucking believable.
