Manfred, please speed up pace of play by reducing games to 1 inning.
We’d win the World Series for sure.

# Angels Abbreviated – 2023.05.02 @ Cardinals
Today, on International Scurvy Awareness Day:
– The Pirates lost! Rays confirmed scurvy bilgerats!
– Rendon continued his RISP clutch ways by driving in Trout with a single
– Taylor Ward cleared the bases by pulling a Steven Matz slider for [a 3-run homer](https://mlb-cuts-diamond.mlb.com/FORGE/2023/2023-05/02/66df99da-f2581b10-63ce1a7f-csvm-diamondx64-asset_1280x720_59_4000K.mp4)
– Sandy carried a no hitter into the 4th inning before giving up a single to Tyler O’Neill
– Quijada on the IL for elbow surgery, too much spice in him unfortunately. Hopefully he’ll be back soon!
– The Irish Panda pitched out of a runners-at-corners jam by inducing a comebacker out from Tommy Edman

– Neto and Devenski bailed Sandy out of *another* jam with three clutch outs in eight pitches, featuring a fantastic double play

Light That Baby Up! Angels 5-1 Cardinals, Gubie Tuesdays stay undefeated. Simple, uncomplicated win. You gotta appreciate these when they happen.
#L
LTBUUUUUU
LTBUUUUUU
Two fantastic games for the pitching staff in a row!
I was relaxed all the way, you sure this is legal?
Leave your pants at home tomorrow boys and girls, because WE’RE GOING STREAKING
Yay
LTBU. Hope we don’t need a closer tomorrow 😬
Trout’s zone contact percentage is 10 points
lower than his career norms. Just suddenly dropped massively after 2020 and hasn’t gotten back to how it was and I wonder why
I’m so glad Sandy earned a win. No sad Sandy today!
Nice and comfortable win! Not often that happens for us
Astros currently losing!
No Ohtani? Trout 0-4? No problem.
Rendon is going to lead the league in RBIs by the end of the year without a hr lmao
That game ruled. See ya tomorrow!
I also can’t believe how much watching the cards reminded me of the halos.
The Good:
Neto clutch
Angels first inning
Taylor Ward’s homer
Sandy was stellar
Bullpen strong
The bad:
Scored only one run after the 1st inning
Trout 0 for 4
The ugly:
Again this fucking umps
Zach Neto good
Bullpen good
Loved that double play off the glove by Neto. I’m really enjoying watching that guy! (Almost as much as Gio who would have had a hr or 2 if this were a home game. Oh well..) Another nice W for our boys! 😇🔥😇
Trout :0-4 and Ohtani is on the bench and the Angels beat the Cardinals 5-1. Tungsten Arm O’Doyle is punching air in his grave.
World series baby!
devenski clutching out of nowhere for 2023. make sure he is the goto
Would like to also give Nevin a lil credit for managing his pitchers well 👏
Good game Halos. Cardinals not so much.👏🏼
Great team win
LTBU! How many licks does it take to get to the center of a Nootbaar?
Where dem real baseball fans at?
