  1. Canning was a stud, Barria has been solid. If sandy and detmers can put it together angels can compete for the third wild card spot. 101 to go!!

  2. I truly believe if the ump hadn’t fucked up that bases loaded walk, we would have won Thursday and we would have split this series

  3. I hope this is a sign that canning has arrived, that final line is a gem

    Good on him!

  4. Now that its done, the series shoulda been a split with the umps gifting the 1st game to HOU.

  5. # Angels Abbreviated – 2023.06.04

    Today, on National Cheese Day 2023:

    – Can Griffey threw 6 innings of 1 run ball
    – Criminal mastermind Luis Rengifo committed murder in the first degree on a poor baseball
    – Clutch God Shohei Ohtani delivered the game winning RBI
    – 1.231 OPS in high leverage this season lmao
    – Devenski shuts down the Astros for 1.2 IP
    – And then Ice Cold Carlos Estevez slammed the door to salvage a series split!

    LTBU! Someone find Hunter Renfroe’s lost dawg!

  6. Not a good series but we need this win. Let’s fly back home and win the next two series. Trout is due for multiple hits game and he’ll bounce back at home as usual. Renfroe also hits better at Big A. We’re gonna be fine

  7. Why hasn’t Moniak played in 5 games?? Send him down so he can develop if you aren’t going to use him.

  8. clutch hit from Sho and a clutch pitching performance by Canning, Devinski and Estevez to avoid the sweep. Hopefully we can use this win as momentum for the next series

  9. Nice pitch Canning, Devenski, Estevez.
    Rengifo home run and Sho’s clutch double!
    It was so fun and we didn’t get swept thank you !!!😊

  10. A gentle reminder to stick with your Aces. Ohtani will always come good. Trout will figure it out too. They’ve been at it for too long to not get it.

    LTBU

  11. Estevez is the man! He should really start being considered for more All Star votes, especially if he keeps this up!

  12. Big fan of what we have seen from Canning this year. Better than his era.
