Gameday Thread (8/3/23): Mariners @ Angels: Ohtani on the mound, no Drury

[daygloman]

Pffffffft.

[khouse]

Wow...just WOW...

[Duren, Duren]

It's a team game, but this one is entirely on Estevez. Without those walks the homer isn't decisive. You could tell that he just didn't have it from his first pitch. 

[Biergott]

I really wish I wasn’t an Angels fan

[Erstad Grit]

Knock-out blow

...and with unfavorable pitching matchups in the next two games.

We supposedly had a very favorable pitching matchup yesterday.

[jsnpritchett]

Way to rally in the 9th, boys.

[IheartLA]

yea the non competitive pitches and 4/5 pitch walks were just sad

[Halo in Chicago]

Damn. This one hurts

[Revad]

Need to win three games in a row is all.

[Mark68]

So much for going all-n. I wish Perry had folded. 

[nando714]

What a difference a span of 30 min makes 

lol

[TroutField]

That was probably the decisive blow on the season. You just cannot lose games, especially like that. 
 

im dumbfounded at the pitch selection in an 0-2 pitch with the bases loaded. It’s like he asked the mariners where they wanted it to be thrown, and the cherry on top is the 3 up, 3 down in the 9th. 
 

Dipoto still getting the last laugh 8 years after leaving the franchise in the middle of the season. I fucking hate baseball 

[tomsred]

That was a really ugly loss.

 

[Angel Oracle]

After a month of not venting…

I give up on contending this season.

Just finish over .500.

Mariners pitching >>>>>>> Halos pitching 

 

[nando714]

Where the hell did Seattle come from ?

we’re a good amount behind them now 

I had no idea 

 

[TroutField]

I’m probably going to not tune into this team and website much longer. 9 years and counting on waiting to make the playoffs is enough for me. 

[ukyah]

the angels are so fucked after this season if ohtani walks. i mean, clusters of fucks all over. 

[Duren, Duren]

Ohtani's homer was supposed to be the emotional high point and wrapping up the ninth was expected to be routine. With the all star who saved every game he had a chance to save. And it wasn't even competitive. The script was flipped. 

[PattyD22]

I’ve never, ever been kicked in the balls or punched in the balls, but if I ever had been, it probably would feel a lot like this.

It’s been a pleasure. Take care my friend.

Yes after a blown save you simply change your closer.

This website is far more enjoyable than this franchise. 

[Sho Way That Was A Strike]

This felt like the season honestly.

It’s really the only thing that keeps me going. FUCK I’m so mad right now….
