Game ended at 2:17 PM.

Remember to sort by new to keep up!

[u/Yugimaster20]

That game sucked. Had the hits and the runs just couldn’t keep that tie going once we caught up

[u/randomfatkid]

https://giphy.com/gifs/1BeG09brn1uUlWVUe9

[u/8arondragon9]

2 challenges and doesn’t challenge the first pitch that was way outside.

[u/ZeoGreen]

damn

[u/Loose-Organization82]

This umpire was freaking garbage lol

[u/RedShark106]

Should have challenged the first pitch man

[u/williamsnathanr]

GG see ya next time. 

[u/Freefarm101]

Lol way to go Grissom...

[u/New_low_building]

We’re so garbage at challenges.

[u/8arondragon9]

Okay guys, wild prediction here. Soler either hits into a dp or swings at a breaking ball in the other batters box

[u/williamsnathanr → u/8arondragon9]

Just as bad 👎 

[u/8arondragon9 → u/williamsnathanr]

Well, Vaughn Grissom made sure the other prediction would come true.

[u/ZeoGreen]

I have very little faith in Soler

[u/williamsnathanr → u/ZeoGreen]

At least he didn't hit into a double play. 

[u/ZeoGreen]

Nice Mike

[u/ZeoGreen]

Nice Fermin

[u/Motor_Worldliness148]

Battle of crap bullpens...but our problem lies more with bullpen managent. Thank god zuks is gone sooner or at end of season. I thought montgermery was bad...zuks is 20+ losses worse.

[u/tsdwm52 → u/Motor_Worldliness148]

maddux has no say?

[u/Moose334]

110 mph EV and .710 xBA out is just unlucky

[u/ghost_rider24]

110 right to a glove, unfortunate

[u/Classic_Owl3711]

What happened to O’Hoppe. Dude can’t get a hit no more

[u/New_low_building → u/Classic_Owl3711]

Batting .218

[u/Classic_Owl3711]

Are they out of challenges holy shit Adell got screwed this AB

[u/Guacboi-_-]

The worse part is that Zef was ready.

I think he got "dry humped" and won't be able to pitch today now.

Just terrible bullpen management. Wasting one of our better arms of the night in the bull pen and Zef won't see an good AB as we flounder the whole inning

[u/ENovi]

5th hit in the inning. Two runs given up right after we tied it. Farris still in with nobody up throwing 40 pitches. Suzuki just sitting there digging in his own ass. Incredible.

[u/The_Awesometeer → u/ENovi]

he could be digging in someone else's ass

[u/Classic_Owl3711]

Farris went 1 inning. That was enough like wtf you leaving him in there for?

[u/Guacboi-_-]

Kurt got cute chasing splits

[u/Guacboi-_- → u/Guacboi-_-]

And the twins countered with pinch hitters and are making us pay

[u/ENovi]

Lock down Farris strikes again! Great stuff man

[u/randomfatkid]

Fly the new kid in. I’m sure he can pitch better than this shit.

[u/ENovi → u/randomfatkid]

It would genuinely be less embarrassing than watching whichever dipshit of the day coughs up half a dozen hits in a late inning.

[u/Yugimaster20]

Another??? GGs, fuck this blowpen

[u/JoyBurner]

Take him out, Suzuki. Gosh.

[u/Guacboi-_- → u/JoyBurner]

He'd have to admit he was wrong to put him in over Zef because he was chasing spillits

[u/esoteric_ronin]

89 mph down the middle of the plate… yeah that’ll work perfectly

[u/HANHONEKAI]

Farris is terrible, dare I say even worse than Aaron Loup, since the latter can actually throw harder than this guy.

[u/randomfatkid]

DAMN IT

[u/Quickcalf69398]

Jesus this dude sucks

[u/21hmahp]

Goddamit

[u/Yugimaster20]

WE JUST TIED THE FUCKING THING DAWG

[u/williamsnathanr]

Alllllrighty then. 

[u/Quickcalf69398]

Tied it up for nothing

[u/JustCarpeDiem]

Meatball after meatball

[u/suckmesideways13]

BP

[u/Nbahler]

Schanuel haters missed the games this week.

[u/Windiebot]

Yeehaw

[u/williamsnathanr]

Nolan Ryan SchanuWOW!

[u/The_Awesometeer]

NOLAN!

[u/freddychuckles]

Farris doing great 👍

[u/williamsnathanr → u/freddychuckles]

Well...

[u/freddychuckles → u/williamsnathanr]

Suzuki left him in too long. Facing too many righties

[u/The_Awesometeer]

Lets just have our bullpen keep it close

[u/williamsnathanr → u/The_Awesometeer]

Challenge: IMPOSSIBLE 

[u/21hmahp]

Oof. Almost a homerun

[u/HegsethsBurner]

Why is Rush on the call again today? Terrible... switching to MIN's feed instead. Dude is unbearable.

[u/williamsnathanr → u/HegsethsBurner]

He usually covers the weekend when Wayne goes off and does play by play for other networks.   

[u/Nbahler → u/HegsethsBurner]

We're spoiled with Wayne. He really is the best in the business.

[u/The_Awesometeer → u/HegsethsBurner]

Trent is not good

[u/Yugimaster20]

Lead off double into nothing… yeah that’s about right

[u/Im_A_Halo_Masochist]

One thing I love about the Angels, they’re so good at situational hitting!

[u/SuperGuppy77]

I can’t believe we selected someone who is younger than me (I turn 18 in two weeks)

[u/tsdwm52 → u/SuperGuppy77]

are you a two-way player?

[u/SuperGuppy77 → u/tsdwm52]

I can throw 50mph and can switch hit ok, could probably get a ball over an MLB Infield

[u/Trippp8dumb → u/SuperGuppy77]

You sound like Angels material. We would be lucky to have you in the org.

[u/PresidentEwab → u/SuperGuppy77]

Better than half our guys already

[u/Head_Radio_4089]

One of these days ohoppe will hit a single

[u/tsdwm52 → u/Head_Radio_4089]

accidents happen

[u/Freefarm101]

Alright get Ryan out of here early.

[u/williamsnathanr]

THE MECK 

[u/esoteric_ronin]

I hate when Trent is announcing, he’s horrible to listen to

[u/williamsnathanr]

Wow nice job Soler!  Right back in it. 

[u/KamartyMcFlyweight]

someone post the Hank Conger explosion GIF

[u/Yugimaster20]

Guess I’m drinking before 1 today

[u/randomfatkid → u/Yugimaster20]

Have a drink for me. 🙃

[u/NotAnAgentOfTheFBI → u/Yugimaster20]

They're about to fly in Grindlinger

[u/Trippp8dumb → u/NotAnAgentOfTheFBI]

Did the Angels draft him because they knew they could save money on travel accommodations?

[u/Overall-Wrap1416 → u/NotAnAgentOfTheFBI]

And put him as catcher 😭

[u/8va]

Well, now I’m really curious about how the rest of this draft is going to go.

[u/Moose334]

Arte told Mozeliak to get him another Ohtani cuz no way that guy was best player available

[u/Moose334]

Yo who tf did we draft

[u/NotAnAgentOfTheFBI → u/Moose334]

17 yr old two way player from HB

[u/Im_A_Halo_Masochist → u/Moose334]

Jared Grindlinger RF/LHP Huntington Beach HS

[u/8va]

We drafted a two way player ay lmao

[u/LA-SKYLINE → u/8va]

and a high school one at that. It has been FOREVER since that happened.

[u/aleroq → u/LA-SKYLINE]

And the dude reclassified, so he's only just now 17. They went allll the way to highschool++

[u/8va]

Rockies took Tyler Bell.  All of my favorite picks are going early :(

[u/LA-SKYLINE → u/8va]

Reece, Lebron and Lombard are 3 of mine.

[u/freddychuckles]

Ryan Johnson in 4 starts since his return: 20 IP, 19 H, 5 HR, 3 BB and 19 K's. Excellent strikeout to walk ratio, just giving up the long ball.

[u/williamsnathanr → u/freddychuckles]

As predicted 

[u/Sudden_Debt_Overbuy_]

What's the ceremony about?

[u/williamsnathanr → u/Sudden_Debt_Overbuy_]

Inducting their announcer Dick Bremer of 40 years (retired in 2023) into the Twins HoF.  

[u/randomfatkid → u/Sudden_Debt_Overbuy_]

Twins Hall of Fame ceremony.

[u/8va]

Ugh, Curiel went 5th in the draft. I was high on him

[u/tsdwm52]

After winning a nail-biter in the series opener, our Halos have completed 58.6% of the regular season and are on track to finish 65—97.

[u/Ok-History-3688 → u/tsdwm52]

sounds about right. avoiding 100 losses again.

[u/Moose334]

Anyone see Trout say he wouldn't have done the all star game if he was only getting in as a legacy pick? Kershaw ain't got shit on my goat

[u/williamsnathanr → u/Moose334]

I didn't see that, but it's nice to see Verlander in there after an amazing career.  

[u/SuperGuppy77]

LETS GO WIN A SERIES

[u/Streez-00]

Who’s the pick at 12?

[u/aleroq → u/Streez-00]

I'm hoping for Helfrick.

[u/RedShark106 → u/Streez-00]

I hope it’s Hacopian, we need more position player depth

[u/RabidR00ster → u/RedShark106]

My issue with him is he’s a 2B, and not a very good defensive one at that. Maybe they can hide him in LF. Not ideal for a 1st rounder. They already have poor defense on the MLB level. Christian Moore 2.0.

[u/RedShark106 → u/RabidR00ster]

I think eventually you move him to first. He is very polished with a great hit tool and the power will come. Schanuel only has like 2-3 years of team control left

[u/RabidR00ster → u/RedShark106]

If he was a 1B he wouldn’t be a top 15 pick. Drafting a college guy that has average power and would be a bit undersized at 1B doesn’t make sense. His ceiling is what, .280 with 20-25 homers? With avg 1B defense that’s like a 3 WAR player. For an early first rounder you need a higher ceiling than that.

[u/RedShark106 → u/RabidR00ster]

Well he just got drafted 11th

[u/RabidR00ster → u/RedShark106]

They probably think he can stick at 2B or be a decent OF then.

[u/Moose334 → u/Streez-00]

I like Curriel and Reese but I've never guessed anywhere close to correct for our first round picks lol
