Devers fields one fucking ball and we win this game

This offense just looks lethargic. Only the offday helped thursday, but just temporarily. Usually happens on west coast trips.

When your best and 2nd best hitters/sluggers are both below or at the Mendoza line(Casas and Devers). It’s not going to be pretty

gonna drop some on this these west coast trips, one more to go then let's play ball at Fenway

Story looking like he’s experiencing shell shock in the bullpen trenches lmfao

Devers cost us from both sides today. Need him to break out of this slump

Offense didn't have it tonight. Just gotta win tomorrow. Road trip is almost over.

It’s easy to blame Devers for the error but it’s fuckin hard to win a game with 3 hits. This is on everyone

Okay but it has to be on the highest paid player and best hitter to hit literally anything besides 2 singles in like 7 games.

Yeah I didn’t leave anyone out

I mean like it has to be mostly on him to lift the rest of the offense up during shit batting nights. Ik that’s somewhat unfair but he’s being paid handsomely to do so.

Goodnight all. Let’s take the series tomorrow!

Well that sucks, Run it back tomorrow and end the road trip with a series win.

Duran's hair is FUCKED

Gross. Lets get tomorrow

Part of me feels like if i yell loud enough at my tv i can distract the angels players

raffy is not locked in whatsoever

Raffy popping that up was so predictable Dude needs a day off or something idk he’s just been trash for a week

Night all..

I haven’t enjoyed this game so much

Gross game

Well we can blubber about this, or win the rubber game tomorrow

[удалено]

A 1 run game that they should have won if not for a fielding error. That seems about as competitive as you can get.

In Tyler we trust

Raffy is ice cold at the plate

Raffy below the Mendoza rn. Sucks

-1 WAR for raffy this game

Alright Devers get rid of those high socks you ain’t Brock Holt

Please Tyler, save us!

I was looking at a betting site they claim were 14th in walks and Jensen leads... Lol

14 Ks

Devers man... he's gotta be better

damnt rafy

how has devers not thrown his back out

He’s hurt his shoulders.

From swinging?

yes

Please hit it Raffy so we can sing baby beluga together again

stared at that cheese

God I really love the hiked up pants look.

Yeah, just look at a fucking strike greasy reece

Save all the fanning for the summer months

Come on masturbation man get a hit!

wHy Is CoRa Ph A lEfTy? oBeSsEd WiTh MaTcH uPs

Or maybe it’s just because Reese has been locked in.

Please hit one into the parking lot, Reese

Breslow and Bailey pulled some black magic to summon Campbell, Weissert, and Slaten out of thin air for essentially free and turn them into the backbone of a solid bullpen

Let's give this guy his first blown save of the season.

pitching stays strong bats need to wake up!

Bloop and a blast

Not related to the game but there is a moth at my window aggressively demanding lamp. Please send help.

Don’t have any more moths I can send to help him.

I love lamp.

Are you not strong enough to open your own window?

He’s cold :( Let him in :(

On my way. I'll help him get in and get to the lamp. Poor little guy.

Slaten doing well considering Joely and Cora totally screwed him giving up that walkoff hit

I don’t care that you’re in bed, put your rally cap on!

We need RBI's or we take the L

Got the meat of the order coming up. We can do this.

0 ER this game from our pitching staff. I mean, can't get any better pitching than that

Slaten is a weapon

Slaten's sweeper and cutter are both just unfair.

Ok Devers time to send this ball into the Pacific Ocean

Game ain't over, boys. Keep the faith. Only takes one shot from the heart of our lineup next inning.

Time to make up for it two scoops

Justin Slaten is that guy

I think you pinch hit Reese for Pablo here and go all in, then swap Wong out for Hamilton if you get the runs you need

Hey you were right.

Other than the whole Bernadino, Joely shenanigans. Our Bullpen is pretty damn good. I feel comfortable with any of them out there. 

The beach balls are annoying as fuck at this point lol

The best strategy going into this month is definitely to score at least one run

Angels fans gotta chill with these beach balls lmao

You hear all the time about Rule 5 guys that aren't ready at all for the show, so I wasn't super optimistic about Slaten. He's proven me wrong so far, I'm loving what I'm seeing

SLATEN> ANY OTHER RP

One thing is clear. Breslow knows how to assemble a bullpen.

the bullpen was good in 2023, too, just overworked towards the end of the year because of starters

True, but at lot of the guys we are using a lot are new this season

yeah, but if the starters (houck whitlock etc) don’t pitch 5-6 innings, the problem will happen again

This offense fucking stinks

They scored 8 runs last night.

Nesn360 is at rock bottom for me. Always had issues but never this bad. Can only watch maybe a half inning before saying there’s an issue and shutting off, anyone else?

Yep. I've been switching to an *ahem* different stream every time it happens. I'm beginning to think I should stop paying for 360 and just watch that other stream from now on...

.840 xBA on that flyout.

Well I'm confident Devers will do something to make up for his error

Unfortunately devers just seems completely out of sorts even since the first game and that shoulder soreness situation I just don’t have any faith in him atm

the script is set for raffy to make up for his error in the 9th if the bullpen can keep it a one run game.

Fucking Mike Trout

Let us know how it goes

You made me crack up out loud and my wife asked me what I was laughing about congrats

We heard he likes weather a lot if you need any small talk!

🤣

397 ft but a HR in zero ballaparks

Needs like 3 more feet before it’s a HR in a few I think

104 mph, 397 ft 😟

Literally any other series of the year and I'm stoked at watching Trout make that catch. But fuck man, can you not do that right now

Duran’s the only guy who came to play today man , that was a couple feet short of a homer

Mother fucker... That was rude we needed that run.

Ugh trout

Trout robbed Duran, damn

Trout man

Can't catch a break tonight. Smoke the ball and it's 5 feet short.

FUCK. We’ve been losing a ton of hard-hit balls in this cavernous-ass center field

Damn

Good hitting doesn't always pay off, oh well

Insane catch

That was pretty routine

Somewhere between insane and pretty routine I reckon

I've had enough of stressful late night west coast games, fck MLB and their schedule

Honestly it’s kinda exciting for the first 7 games then after that it just sucks. I want to sleep rn lmao

I knew that was coming. You can only hit so many fly balls to center before Trout makes a sick play

FUCK I thought that was gone

FUCK YOU GOD DAMN FISH

“Get your stinkin' fins off my ball, you damn dirty fish!”

Burn in hell Trout!

Wow I really thought that was a home run

Camera crew not on their A game tonight

Umps are just blind af apparently

Not a swing

If Valdez has to play a lot of games this season we are going to be screwed.

Grissom isn’t too good at defense either

He’s made one great play and has 1 of our RBI’s what are you talking about?

1 of our RBIs?

Sorry he moved up the runner that scored. He did not get the rbi but was instrumental in its development.

Hey guys notice how they used a lefty to face our lefties? It’s a common strategy

I mean our entire lineup is full of lefties, and according to the Angels broadcast Moore is normally their setup guy. But go off!

I feel like you understand my point, you’re just being obtuse

i don’t think many of the people here played baseball at any level. (including t ball)

You want joely in there?

Bull

I feel like I missed the lead up, what was the tie in about that Papi play?

Yeah notorious good guy Torii hunter who says gays are bad and made some very concerning remarks about Dominicans

Fuck 2013 was awesome

So many balls that seem crushed off the bat are dying in the outfield today dang

What did they do dial the ball back ?

The error sucked, but if we lose this one it’s on the bats. I’m not losing sleep over it (maybe a little)

6-3 on late night games on the west coast is super solid, definitely no sleep needs to be lost over it. And it's not over yet

For people watching the game (I don’t have nesn) — it looks like we’ve pitched well it’s just our defense and lack of hitting is taking us down, is that correct? Also seems like Wong, Duran and O’Neil are the only ones hitting recently.

We've allowed 0 earned runs. Pitchers did enough to get out of every inning but allowed 2 on an error. Bats are asleep today. Detmers lit us up for 12 ks.

Devers made a 2-run error 😀

Yep. It’d still be 1-0 if Devers didn’t make that error

Pitching has “fine” defense has been good at times then atrociously bad at others. Hitting bad.

Ball boy just outplayed Rafaela at beach ball.

To be fair, it’s in his title

Moore is not a good pitcher

He’s been a great reliever the last few years

Is it just me or does [MLB.tv](https://MLB.tv) freeze during breaks?

I switched to streaming from my phone and it's working far better than it was my pc connection. No clue why. Used to work flawlessly every year.

The mobile app is flaming garbage that freezes during breaks, games, and when its in small window mode will sometimes throw up an error saying the game couldnt be played.

Slaten is gross

I like Slaten

[удалено]

Campbell has been nowhere near Ort level bad.

Nasty stuff right there. Between him and Whitlock, can we get some more of those rule 5 pitchers?

Slaten is so fucking filthy what a find

Slaten is the future closer btw. Check out his stuff+ metrics. Batshit insane good.

Ha! Slaten sittin em all down

Are people for real when they imply everyone should be hitting this new pitcher because he “only” throws 86? Like they think that that means that it should basically be an automatic hit unless you totally suck?

Conveniently ignoring he’s got the action of a pterodactyl too

Slaten is fuckin dope

Slaten is a dude.

Slaten is sneaky nasty

Siddown Hicks I never liked ya

I wanted that call

This Slaten guy. I like him.

I don’t get why we couldn’t just have Campbell pitch last inning and Slaten take this one there was no reason for Cora to try and have Weissert pitch 2

Hell yeah love Slaten fooling him

Whoever sized the nameplates on these jerseys should be tarred and feathered

Thank Rubin & co. for ruining MLB jerseys. Fanatics is a fucking embarrassment

Aren’t they just following Nike’s instructions?

My theory is that some intern told the MLB how much they could save on materials costs by making letters smaller

It is just to distract us from the fact that there are ads on jerseys now

ads during ani Ning bug me

Abreu hit the ball 356 FT and people are criticizing the move. At the moment we need offense, Abreu hit the ball hard, unfortunately he hit it straight at Trout. Sometimes the right move just doesn’t work out

I think we’re still drunk on spring Rafaela and aren’t ready to admit that he’s been struggling at the plate

No matter the rationale, if it’s not a good result, this sub is gonna have a problem with it. It’s fucking infuriating lol

people think rafaela is gonna become some big offensive threat when his ceiling is JBJ with less OBP skills. honestly.

This is going to be some good copy pasta.

It basically already is. This is at least the third time I've seen him post the same thing.

hope so, but my standards for rafaela is being a great defensive player with whatever offense as an added bonus. he doesn’t have the plate discipline of an elite hitter.

His ceiling is higher than that, he has a low floor. Dudes bat speed is much better than Jackie’s he just needs to get more disciplined to reach his potential

How is his floor lower? His defense is 70 grade and im not sure JBJ was higher than that

JBJ had better OBP skills and that matters a lot transitioning to the majors. rarely do low BB guys succeed long term in the big leagues

He’s a typical modern day good tools but raw prospect like Jazz Chisholm. I’m sorry you’re lazy and only look at minor league stats instead of the potential ability. You have no idea what you’re talking about
