One of the best team performances of the season thus far!
# Angels Abbreviated – 2023.05.23
Today, on World Turtle Day 2023:
– Mickey Moniak hit his [third leadoff homer](https://mlb-cuts-diamond.mlb.com/FORGE/2023/2023-05/23/b8b9786a-8915fe06-203baca8-csvm-diamondx64-asset_1280x720_59_4000K.mp4) of his young season!
– Ohtani beat feet on an infield single
– Mickey Moniak attended the ‘98 World Series as a baby
– Wayne: “You wanna feel old?”
– Gubie: “I AM old!”
>”Moniak is the first player to hit three home runs in his first 8 starts of the season since George Springer of the 2017 Houston Astros…and *bang bang*, Mickey Moniak hits three leadoff homers.” – Wayne the Randazzler
– And then Thaiss helped out his pitcher with [a solo homer to center!](https://mlb-cuts-diamond.mlb.com/FORGE/2023/2023-05/23/ac1da494-36209661-f35b5dcf-csvm-diamondx64-asset_1280x720_59_4000K.mp4)
– Gubie’s first job was as a cemetery caretaker?
– Canning’s final line: 7.0 IP | 2 H | 0 R | 0 ER | 3 BB | 5 K
– [Incredible performance](https://mlb-cuts-diamond.mlb.com/FORGE/2023/2023-05/23/22d9ebc1-53368fc3-4f9ab167-csvm-diamondx64-asset_1280x720_59_4000K.mp4), dropped his 6.14 ERA to 4.95
– His fastball hitting 97 mph consistently is a good sign—it’s a return to the velocity he had before his injury, when he first came up in 2019
– Taylor Ward pinch hit the luckiest double that bounced off third base, which Raffy Devers didn’t even try to catch
– MIKE TROUT TIES JOE DIMAGGIO ON THE ALL TIME HOME RUN LIST WITH A[ 2-RUN OPPO BLAST!](https://bdata-producedclips.mlb.com/bcefc8bb-8a8a-44a6-a7a2-8e0013dce673.mp4)
– Newly promoted Jacob Webb **🕸️🕸️🕸️** completes the shutout
Light That Baby Up! Angels beat the Red Sox 4-0, and the Halos have beaten two winning teams in back-to-back series! Now for the sweep!
HOW SEXY ARE WE?!?
Thats a series win mate
Didn’t have to use Estévez 2 wins in a row
Game ruled and we are kicking it again. Long live the Mickey era.
WE WON A SERIES
Aaron Loup is responsible for the only run allowed in the last 2 games lol
Were are literally the best baseball team of all time.
Webb looked like he saw Barry Bonds in the batter’s box. His stuff was good
We clinched a series win on the second game? Against a team above .500? That’s allowed?
Keep that momentum guys!
Well deserved W for Canning, who has been very unlucky in his previous starts. Hope Trout can keep that momentum going. LTBU
#FREE PIZZA TIME 😎
This Mickey Moniak guy is so fine, my mind is blown away.
Young guys have been carrying the team lately! Keep it going!!
Another series win against a team over .500 let’s go
Our pitchers are good 👍
Walsh holding down 1st base has been huge to put others back in their natural positions leading us to not beat ourselves!
Game was over after the first Angels AB lol
Series W!
And canning turning in an ace like performance too
Dred it. Run from it. Gubie Tuesday arrives all the same.
Clean baseball from the Angels!? Can we get another one of those?
i mean we should’ve seen this coming, with Moniak, Neto, Thaiss, and pitching ninjas like Canning and Jacob Webb how did we think we’d ever lose?
We are 6-3 I’m our last 9, all against opposition over .500, with two series wins and a series split.
Keep that momentum rolling now
Moniak is really feeling like that spark plug we’ve been missing for years. Can’t wait to get O’hoppe back too, these kids are real.
Feels nice to see our starters pitch deep into games. The last few years of seeing them mostly go 3-4 innings was disheartening.
The usual doomers have been ghost. Good lol
Win tomorrow and we take the Season Series!
This might have been the most well-played game in a long time by the Halos. Great, great pitching, great defense, three dingers. I think this is the lineup, y’all!
Give us all the SoCal natives. Moniak Devenski Webb Sandoval Griff…
Always glad to see GA and Salmon doing postgame stuff
Canning looked at Barria and said:
“Bet.”
Mickey Moniak is the goat
MORE LIKE RED SUX!!!!
🕯 👉 👶 👆
WHAT A BLESSÉD GUBIE TUESDAY IT HAS BEEN
Friendship ended with sweeper. Now changeup is my best friend.
The halo is shining bright as the Angels breakthrough on a complete win from all sides of the ball!
Canning followed an excellent start from Barria with his own gem. Moore kept his cool hand even when he wasn’t quite as sharp this game. The defense was absolutely stellar with clutch plays. Webb announced his presence with authority for his season debut. And, of course, the bats of Moniak, Thaiss, and Trout displayed exceptional power once again!
If the Halos keep rolling like this, I think very good things await this team in 2023.
Let’s go Angels!
7 innings from canning very nice
This time last year, we were in the midst of a 14 game losing streak.
Needless to say, the vibes are much better now.
From the corner of my eye, Phil Nevin looks like Mike Scioscia
Walsh is back and now we’re winning. Coincidence? No.
