Oh and the Teodosio catch too! That was neat.

what a treat, what a dream!

I WANT small ball!! I've been wanting this for over a decade!! HRs are cool but the winning years of this team they could do all the little things well their identity wasn't being top 5 in the league in HRs. It feels like the hitting approach is always "just mash" & that's why we're always failing.

I knew they struck out a lot today, I didn't realize it was SIXTEEN TIMES.

i wish i could grab soriano & jack k & shake them violently in a loving way because they both have the stuff, esp sori, & they just can't seem to figure it out to be consistent. Soriano has ace-level stuff - he KNOWS that. But there's overthinking or whatever that's preventing him from becoming one.

it also doesn't help that his OWN THIRD BASE COACH set him up to fail last night.

LOL right! Another factor is the TRAUMA of everything that is the Angels. if Perry says this is the most cohesive group of guys he's seen since he's been here, then this is something they need to talk through together as a team esp the vets and pick them up and tell them to stop doing too much.

i think part of it is the young guys try to be the heroes and so they start pressing and overdoing everything when it's like, just get on base. Or get the ball in the air. They're making the moment bigger than it needs to be when it's like, just take the first step, keep the line moving et al.

right exactly. I have no problem with him either and wouldn't hate it if he was brought back. in terms of Anderson, at this rate, he gave us one good half of a season out of the 3 he was signed for.

also that text was before even the bases loaded situation.

it's unfair to lay all responsibility on them. He mashed when first called up & before his injury in '23. he was supposed to backup up Stassi but never really ended up being a backup, just thrust into being a starter last yr. He just needs to understand he doesn't have to be everything all the time.

The way they're reacting to him on X & Reddit is insane. He's still a KID. He wants to win badly & be a leader badly that he's trying to do EVERYTHING. And tbh while it's commendable, that's simply unfair to him. Most of the vets this season have really faltered & the kids have picked 'em up. But

a likely story!

Meanwhile, the Tigers have lost 6 of their last 7 series, so naturally, they will sweep the Angels.

Don’t worry they’ll sweep them and we’ll be wondering wtf???? Why can’t you do this against the WHITE SOX?

At least we know for sure Anderson will be off the team and Hendricks too.

At least I got to see that live. The rest? Not so much.

This team isn’t going to even sniff .500 again for the rest of this season.

You can’t say you want to play in meaningful games in August & September & say you’re disappointed with the team’s play when you shit the bed after being literally handed the BEST opportunity to put your team either back in it or ahead.

Morel struck out 3/4 ABs today. And the only one he didn’t he hit a go-ahead solo hr smh

Who can’t seem to throw strikes

Now we’re wasting Kenley in a losing situation

Mike out here busting his knee to leg out an infield single all so he could be 90 ft from scoring the tying run and 3 of his teammates could get 0 contact on the ball.

0 BECAUSE THEN THERE WERE THREE STRAIGHT STRIKEOUTS.

WE LITERALLY NEEDED A SAC FLY TO TIE BUT SURE STRIKE OUT BACK TO BACK

Anyways, bases loaded, 1 out now how many runs do we score?

Logan striking out with bases loaded no outs is just an absolute bust. Esp when Jax almost hit him in the head

Jfc Griffin Jax has 0 control and Logan swinging anyway

Logan if you swing at the first pitch with bases loaded no outs istfg
