We just got little brothered.
Game 1: 2-12 RISP. Game 2: 2-12 Drury 1-2 Thaiss 0-2 BB Neto 1-2, HBP Ward 2-3 Trout 0-3, BB, GIDP Ohtani 0-3 Urshela 0-3 GIDP Renfroe 0-2 Wallach 0-2 GIDP Rengifo 0-1
4-24 with RISP the last 2 games with 3 singles 3 double plays. Neto HBP and Trout has a walk in there as well.
Ohtani has an era over 5 his last 7 starts I think
Ohtani has to of dropped like 1 war tonight
New least favorite game just dropped
Yeah Nevin I wouldn’t use MONIAK over Rengifo either. What a incompetent coach. This whole organization is so frustrating how do they get anyone to sign here
Today, I feel doomer…
Last year it was Ohtani and trout vs every other team. Now they have the support and they are not coming through. Rendons injury makes things worse since he was coming clutch with RISP.
Imma go out on a limb and say Ohtani will not be worth that $600m contract lol
But man, this team’s situational hitting is absolutely horrible.
Trout and Ohtani have been horrid.
Walsh is a dead bat.
I’d rather them trot someone else out.
For some reason this is the most demoralized I’ve felt all season. I don’t know guys…are we mediocre again?
Trout playing like an MVP was always the silver lining during the last decade of this shit.
Someone give me hope 🙁
Gotta fade into irrelevance before we can put up some good game and give the fan base hopium for next year.
Had they won yesterday’s game, this loss wouldnt have stung too much. Astros are just leaps and bounds better.
It’s genuinely messed up how much some of y’all shit on our best two batters. Trout and Ohtani hit three home runs two fucking games ago and folks here act like they’d rather not have them on the team. Hitting with RISP has been rough but y’all act like they’re hitting under the Mendoza line, not leading the team in OPS, RBIs, and home runs lol
Well that sucked, same time tomorrow guys?
I swear to god if the mlb YouTube channel uploads an ohtani highlight video “SHOTIME does it AGAIN”
This team needs Rendon back ASAP. Just gotta win 1 and keep moving.
Well, ig my candles were only good enough for avoiding the shutout. I tried. 🤷♀️
I feel it was always going to be a split series going into this series.
I think trouty and sho with RISP need to do way better, but also understand we went against a cy young candidate. It seems like once again a single play turned the course of the game. Unfortunately, tonight’s was in the first with trout being robbed of what have been a rare oppo dong off high heat
Not to be downer but I was kinda hopeful with these rookies. But even with them we can’t keep up. If we can’t even beat the astros it seems pretty bleak.
Im going to the store anyone want anything
We’re gonna get swept aren’t we? Lmao
This game sucked. Give me some hope for tomorrow
What if Brett Phillips was the glue holding this team together?
☮ all. Idk if I’ll be back.
I figured we’d lose the season series but damn can we at least make it competitive
I hate baseball now
So this sub really gonna transfer our years of pent up frustration with fuckface arte moreno exclusively onto Trout and Ohtani now? Of course it’s frustrating and sure fair critique is due, but some, not all, of the slander in the game thread made me wonder if I stumbled into the Yankees sub. Wowsers
Don’t know what’s gonna happen tomorrow but I’ll rooting my ass off for Sandy and the team to show up and fight another day
The hell is up with Ohtani? He’s been giving up way too many runs lately. I didn’t get to see the game but was he just off again or did he get fucked by bad luck?
Losing is boring.
