# Angels Abbreviated – 2023.05.31
Today, on [World Otter Day 2023:](https://www.otter.org/public/Events_OurCurrentEvent.aspx)

>2 + 2 + 2 + 2 + 2 = 10, quick maffs
– Jaime Barria pitched a gem: 5.0 IP | 4 H | 1 R | 1 ER | 3 BB | 6 K on 90 pitches
– Got out of a couple jams with well-timed strikeouts, absolutely has that dawg in him
– Hit 95 mph on his fastball, even after 80+ pitches
– Tucker Davidson came in to eat some innings with an 8 run lead
– “Giga” Chad Wallach pinch hit for Ohtani and [hit a HR in his honor](https://www.reddit.com/r/baseball/comments/13wxh3x/pinch_hitting_for_shohei_gigachad_wallach_hits/)
– Walsh scored Gio with his second double of the day
– Tucker Davidson gave up 4 runs but got[ the 3-inning save anyway](https://www.reddit.com/r/angelsbaseball/comments/13wxvxu/tucker_davidson_with_the_3_ip_4_er_save/)
Light That Baby Up, series win! Now off to face the Astros with our bats red-hot!
That was much needed after yesterday 😛
So yeah. No one is allowed to say Ohtani needs rest from now on lol
He basically said fuck the noise lmao
Let’s go take at least 2 of 4 against Houston!!!
This is the offense we want to see!
Trout with a dong. Ward with a dong. Ohtani with a double dong. Chad with a GIGA dong. Barria pulled out his long dong and pitched 5 solid innings.
*”Today was a good day.”*
Needed that. Just dinger after dinger while enjoying a No nonsense win.
Astros series is gonna be brutal.
Oh wow Ward just called Trout the best player in the world. Nothing wrong with that it’s just I wouldn’t expect him to say that with both Trout and Shohei being his teammates
*HAPPY ANGELS NOISES*
Mannnn where was this offensive output yesterday
This series win is dedicated to all the Chi Sox fans who we’re yelling “Overrated ” when the unicorn was up at bat.
Trout, Ohtani, and Ward doubters in shamble all at once
Angels are 1-0 when I take my daughter to therapy
Please do this again at Houston.
Please please PLEASE sweet baby Jesus! Let this momentum carry over to Houston! 🙏🏼
Game was amazing and refreshing to watch. Also exactly what we needed before heading to… ‘Stupid’?
Good all around game. Barria looks decent but needs to go further into games if he wants to be a full time starter
Aint nothing like hanging dong on a Wednesday afternoon
Ward doubters are quickly turning into Neto doubters 😔
Today’s player of the game is KABUTO.
Davidson technically got credited with the save today cause he pitched the final three innings
The offense went off with this new lineup. I say we continue with moniak at loadoff and Ward batting cleanup. Renfroe gonna need to spend some time on the bench.
Okay, we’re all gonna be Twins fans tonight, right? Right?
I’ll be cheering on Carlos C-c-c-o…I mean, let’s go Twins!
Usual doomers where you at?
I‘m happy Walshy put up some numbers today too!
Anyone know if Ohtani will be pitching tomorrows game?
Time to take this momentum to the Astros and at least split it, and at most, win it. LETS FREAKING GO ANGELS
Ohtani mean mugging that 2nd homer was amazing lmao
I was off today but ran errands today instead of watching. That will teach me to act responsible
If the Angels could be this dominant every game, that would be great!
So can we just like win 9 of 11 or something like that?
Series win! Woooo!
Would like Davidson to find himself again though
🕯 👉 👶 👆
Great team win
