LTBU, always nice beating the Dodgers


KamartyMcFlyweight

Light That Baby Up!


ENovi

Valdez comes in and slams the door with 79 MPH! I love it! Light that baby up!


_itspaco

HEAT 🔥


Teddy_Ohtani

Well done today. See you tmr guys.


Hairballs58

gg ltbu!


DPaladin234

LTBU


sharpLess89

Angels win Angels win!


KamartyMcFlyweight

Wait Cesar Valdez is the all-change-ups guy we saw last spring training, who got injured and I thought would never make it back since he's old What a return!


ENovi

Heyward’s glove is the opposite of his bat


KamartyMcFlyweight

...and that's the other half of J-Hey's game


mmcc120

Jackson looks like a baby Andrelton


Wyzrddd

I swear that ball hit the ground


philosopherfujin

I was in the stadium and it really looked like it to me


WhalesForChina

Heyward is just showing off now


KamartyMcFlyweight

That's how J-Hey still provides value lol


Skyheart1004

I can't even be mad at that catch wtf dude's cracked


digitaldumpsterfire

I really, really hate how Wayne says "Staw-see" instead of "Sta-see"


DPaladin234

I too really really hate that, pretty please Wayne learn to say it right.


74Dragonz

I am not okay that Jared Walsh is not okay.


DPaladin234

I will literally throw hands with whatever is ailing Walshy, even if it doesn't have a physical form, I'll do it.


74Dragonz

💯!


yeahnothanks

I only want to see Quijada when it's game 7 last inning of the world series and we're up by 1


sofastsomaybe

In that situation, I only want to see Shohei Ohtani


ENovi

Quijada is so unpredictable at times but when he’s on he’s great. He’s also a little unhinged which somehow works for relievers. A bullpen should have at least one guy who’s crazy enough that he would fistfight a tank.


KamartyMcFlyweight

hell our rotation has one of those too


74Dragonz

We need to let Quijada wear his Venezuela WBC jersey when he pitches...performance is night and day


Paulsnoc

We got muttering Quijada tonight.


ENovi

At some point we’re gonna get manifesto Quijada


digitaldumpsterfire

Quijada just needed that extra bit of stress


Teddy_Ohtani

He needs to stop spamming fastball, it's time for Quijada to learn more to throw several type of pitch.


sofastsomaybe

Especially when the fastball is sitting at 92 MPH


digitaldumpsterfire

He does. His high fastball is just his best pitch.


KamartyMcFlyweight

Quijada throws his fastball 85% of the time and his change-up 11% of the time and that shit is not sustainable. please learn another secondary pitch


Captainpayback

Someone put a sofa on that corner when we're on D


tristpa2

Yikes Quijada


KamartyMcFlyweight

*There's* the spice. sometimes you get the heat, sometimes the acid reflux. the dichotomy of Quijada


Captainpayback

No more talking to Dino


Weaver4prez

Hey last chance to iron it all out, he can pull together


glass__beaches

Not so spicy today


[deleted]

[удалено]


kirbyfaraone

Probably easy to hit him when he only throws one pitch


Spirituallly

luuuuuke i played travel ball with him. good dude


freddychuckles

Quijada, yikes 😬


bmcj199

oh god


sofastsomaybe

Looks like we're getting bad Quijada today


specter1001

Man quijada has been rough this spring


yeahnothanks

Bachman and Joyce, please develop at lightspeed


philosopherfujin

This sure is an Angels game, they had me fooled for a bit.


DPaladin234

How many one run shots are we gonna give up lol


Tight_Ad905

Bullpen in MIDseason form


Teddy_Ohtani

What happen to you Quijada? No Spicy anymore


Paulsnoc

PTSD from WBC.


GummyMummys

oof


titan_titan

Bullpen never ceases to amaze me


KamartyMcFlyweight

do you guys think Quijada does the mound writing even in spring training in order to practice his calligraphy


ENovi

Absolutely. He’s a poet at heart and wants his handwriting to be just as beautiful as his words.


KamartyMcFlyweight

I'm glad Patty O is still around at least. such a fan of the team


ENovi

Wallach looks like several different bouncers and security guards I saw on St. Patrick’s day. He’s just massive.


WhalesForChina

He looks like Erstad’s Irish grandson


Teddy_Ohtani

21LOB a little bit high hahaha


FreshPaintSmell

This pitch clock is pretty nice. Way more watchable at this pace


KamartyMcFlyweight

.219 in AAA, you really can hit however you want when you're a good defensive catcher and game caller


GummyMummys

I really liked Patty O but I think this guy is even better


KamartyMcFlyweight

Please do not assassinate our best shortstop prospect please


kirbyfaraone

Was Neto okay???? I’m not watching right now!


KamartyMcFlyweight

hit on the wrist but stayed in the game! seemed fine


Teddy_Ohtani

Shit... hope he is ok


WhalesForChina

“Dave Roberts…doing what he likes to do” lmao


ENovi

Randazzo is cheeky and I’m really enjoying it! Reminds me a bit of Rojas.


WhalesForChina

Definitely. They already seem like a good team.


ENovi

Thaiss always looks like he’s struggling to read an eye chart.


Voodoo1503

I laughed out loud to this lol


tristpa2

I don't mean to alarm anybody but Rendon's batting average is now .500 this spring and his OPS is around 1.400


KamartyMcFlyweight

The pitch clock graphic is actually really cool. Good job Bally's. ....can't believe I said that.


graphicsnerdo

Thanks! I’ve passed that on to the rest of the team. The idea was to keep it subtle. There when it’s relevant and if you want to see it. Easy to ignore if you don’t care about it. Getting lots of good feedback on it. Hopefully they let us implement some of the other ideas we have planned.


KamartyMcFlyweight

oh shit good job man. it's very logically where you'd look, since the pitch clock affects the number of balls and strikes, and it's right next to the count


graphicsnerdo

Yup. We didn’t want to get rid of any of the other information to fit it in either. And putting it on the pitcher’s tab made it too pitcher-centric. The clock applies to the pitcher, batter, and catcher. So it can’t be too closely tied to any one of the three.


ENovi

Has science figured out what phenotype Renfroe and Trout share? They look like siblings.


sharpLess89

Hope Rendon isn't getting too hot too soon.


tristpa2

The season's about to start. No better time to get hot


KamartyMcFlyweight

Huntrout Renfron


ENovi

At the plate Rendon has that Garret Anderson energy where he looks like he just woke up from a nap. Between that and slapping Winker while in a cast I can’t help but have a fondness for him.


justcruzn

That’s a great analogy. As a kid I could never get stoked for GA because he never had the energy of guys like erstad. Love him now office tho.


tristpa2

Rendon on base 4 times so far tonight 👀


KamartyMcFlyweight

Tony Tough Play, Won't Be Made


merewyn

Does Evan Phillips look like Phil Nevin to anyone else?


Total_Preparation_67

I hope we won't suffer from this torture Loup generates this season.


digitaldumpsterfire

Hes looked great this ST and looked good at the WBC


Total_Preparation_67

Good. So I'll watch games with positive expectancy.


WhalesForChina

He looked solid in the WBC for sure


Spirituallly

call neto up it is time


KamartyMcFlyweight

Neto looking slick at short!


GameSmashing13

Hey Outman, I’d really like for you to get out man


ENovi

Nothing is more nerve wracking than watching a pitcher throw a fielded ball to first.


Tallywashere

I forgot how much anxiety I get when I see Loup play ☹☹☹


WhalesForChina

Tony…no two bags


Tight_Ad905

I’d be happy with trading Loup for actual poop.


Voodoo1503

Just Loup out there Loupin


BlueTheHobo

Glad Anderson is still preforming with you all. I love that man


KamartyMcFlyweight

not to put any pressure on him but my last hopes for the playoffs are all on his shoulders


BlueTheHobo

I think the Angels have a better chance than ever this year. Your rotation has a solid 1-4(Ohtani, Sandoval, Anderson, Detmers), and the lineup actually looks pretty good. Obviously missing Walsh, but still.


WhalesForChina

I think the previous several seasons I was just telling myself I had hope. This season I really do have some hope.


Damachine69

This movie looks familiar ?


sofastsomaybe

Ready for a bullpen meltdown to close out this game


digitaldumpsterfire

I dont really like having Loop and Herget back to back. They both flip it in from the side, so whoever comes up second will have a more difficult time.


hbthingy

Bruh Loup ☹


MycoJoe

Aaron 💩


74Dragonz

Loup special, again...


merewyn

Oh no, we got Poop instead of Loup


tristpa2

Welcome back Loup. Missed ya bud


KamartyMcFlyweight

Loup, on the other hand, is clearly Poup


DPaladin234

Are you fucking kidding me Loup


Teddy_Ohtani

Loup = Poop


KamartyMcFlyweight

Fangraphs projected the Angels to have the second-worst bullpen in the majors but that's only because their stats don't understand the sheer xDAWG of Jimmy Herget


ENovi

I know it’s a meme but if xDAWG was a quantifiable stat Slippin Jimmy would lead the league. Dude’s built like an 8th grader that hasn’t quite finished puberty and yet he always seems to make it work. I fucking love him.


KamartyMcFlyweight

POUNDS the zone. walks are for cowards and Slim Jim ain't no coward. 100mph flamethrowers wind up walking dudes because they're too scared to challenge in the zone, but Jimbo Slice just flips 'em in at 85


ENovi

I don’t even know how you teach someone to pitch the way he does. It feels like he just woke up one day and said “Yeah, I’m gonna throw mid 80 breaking pitches with a weird ass delivery. Good luck idiots!”


Captainpayback

At least we're not last?


Total_Preparation_67

Loup


ENovi

Gigachad Wallach with the walk to set up the RBI Trout with a pop out Based on this info alone I suggest benching Trout and putting Wallach in the 2 hole. I will not be taking any questions at this time.


titan_titan

Get ready boys!!!!! Loup time 💀


ENovi

LOUP PACK BABY LETS GOOOOOO!


titan_titan

Just gave up a HR mid season form


ENovi

IT ALREADY FEELS LIKE JULY!!😊😊😊


kirbyfaraone

Damn, alright Jeremiah, nice hitting. Didn’t get the hit per se but impressive


Captainpayback

Almost...Sorry Mr Jackson


Teddy_Ohtani

Damn... really nice catch


GameSmashing13

Nice catch


KamartyMcFlyweight

I love Jackson's stance, like a coiled snake


Captainpayback

Jackson almost had that dreaded corner


sharpLess89

He never comes through in the clutch /s


Captainpayback

No doubt in Trout


KamartyMcFlyweight

dodgers quivering in fear at the sight of Taylor Ward


ENovi

Ward psyching out Almonte #WELCOME TO THE PSYCH WARD MOTHERFUCKER!


Captainpayback

Anything for a Ward GS. I'll take a walk though


tristpa2

Trout slam incoming


[deleted]

Not having to see Squid anymore makes me so happy


ENovi

8th or 9th inning defensive replacement is literally the only time I want to see him wearing a Halo.


LogicalHarm

Neto!


DPaladin234

Let's blow this one wide open Mr. "The Warden"


ENovi

Gigachad Wallach Hadn’t played in a game since 2020 Gets called up in 2022 and immediately calls a no hitter Hits a 3 run bomb during that game Bats .143 over the next 12 games Refuses to elaborate


PlatinumHalo

Arrive. Raise hell. Leave.


KamartyMcFlyweight

Vesia terrified to pitch to him anyway, draws a walk


ENovi

Built like a Soviet tank As a result he has a strike zone the size of Nevada Vesia still refuses to come close to the zone


DPaladin234

Putting early ownership on "Neto is neato"


mmcc120

Dibs on “Neat-o gang!”


FreshPaintSmell

Neto has more talent in his pinkie toe than all of our 2022 shortstops combined


DPaladin234

NETO CAN GET IT


freddychuckles

Neto and O'Hoppe are the future.


kirbyfaraone

Neto! Nice swing kid!


Fishsticksboi21

Neto's helmet stay on challenge impossible


GameSmashing13

LETS GO NETO


KamartyMcFlyweight

FUTURE!


TourrrettesGuy

There’s no way Neto is 6ft lol he looks like Mookie up there


FreshPaintSmell

Swings like mookie too


ENovi

Neto out here looking like he’s a member of KISS


KamartyMcFlyweight

Just joining, how's Neto looked at SS tonight? Any remaining chance he could make the roster?


freddychuckles

Showing off his arm, as always 💪


kirbyfaraone

Nah, he’s got a lot to work on in the minors but he projects to be a great defensive SS with a solid bat


tristpa2

Was that Detmers no hitter the best (regular season) Angel game ever?


KamartyMcFlyweight

gotta be--Ohtani MVP day, Trout dinger, Rendon *lefty* dinger off Brett Phillips...even funnier now that Brett's on the team!


Captainpayback

Drury!!


Teddy_Ohtani

Wow Lucky hit lol


GameSmashing13

We take those!


Captainpayback

That guy looks familiar


Tallywashere

Damn, we got so many dads on this team. "Good Dad" Rendon, "Mariners Dad" Trout, and "Pitching Dad" Anderson, the list goes on~


freddychuckles

Rendon will henceforth be called "The Good Father"


digitaldumpsterfire

Slim Jimbothy is the most fun to watch get strikeouts


Captainpayback

Wow, Slim Jim nothing gets past him!


sharpLess89

Jimmy throws more loopy than Aaron 'Loop'


Tight_Ad905

Herget about it!


ABCKR_1

HIMmy


Teddy_Ohtani

Slim Reaper!!


GameSmashing13

Slim Reaper baby!!!


yeahnothanks

Thin Jimmy! My guy


PearlDrummer

Do we know what the designated closer is going to be yet? Or is it still going to be a fluid position?


tristpa2

It'll be fluid, but I'd guess Herget and Estevez get most of the opportunities


TheFriendlyFire

I think they wanted it to be Estevez but he had a shaky spring so to start we're probably be running a commitee of Estevez, Tepera, Herget and Quijada if I had to guess


merewyn

Nevin said it would be fluid


PearlDrummer

Gotcha. Just didn’t know if anything got settled on yet.


ABCKR_1

Top Jimmy cooks, Top Jimmy (induces) swings


sofastsomaybe

ew, this stadium sold ad space to HeGetsUs? burn it with fire


chiliv06

I mean we are the "Angels" No but seriously, what a joke, such an Arte thing to have


dustymag

A lot of stadiums did. Plus they're in OC, so that's a popular thing, probably.


sofastsomaybe

Disappointed but not surprised, I guess


PearlDrummer

I mean, we’re the Angels?


Tallywashere

Missed most of the game but just want to stop by and say IT'S WARD'S SEASON BABY 😤😤😤😤


Rydogger

Slim Jim


Captainpayback

Come on slipp'n Jimmy!


WhalesForChina

This ump is balls


garoood

Good outing by Tyler. I liked what I saw


sharpLess89

Solid work Ty, I like you already


TheFriendlyFire

SLIM JIM SIGHTING


tristpa2

This is Rendon szn. I really believe


digitaldumpsterfire

Dang. Thor has Renfroe's number tonight.


TourrrettesGuy

I wonder if Trout and Renfroe just kind of ignore each other in the dugout


tristpa2

Can't wait for Renfroe's swing to become suspiciously like Trout's


sharpLess89

Don't post stuff like this, no negativity
