L!!!
After being BABIPed to death all season, I am thankful for whichever small child we sacrificed for the BABIP gods to smile kindly on us tonight.
after 3 innings i definitely knew anderson was going to get a dub and i wouldnt sweat too much the last three innings
Good thing no one in this sub overreacted after the 2nd inning /s
100 to fucking end it.
Lol Anderson gets a W.
heckuva W.
Carlos “autosave” Estevez
Ever since they offloaded the dead weight in the bullpen and brought the young guys up it’s been lights out. I am loving it.
It’s just that easy
Devo is pure filth. Was wondering when Esty would hit 100 with the heater.
Trout is unintentionally hilarious 😭
Trout making sure to shoutout Esty lol
2-0 when Anderson gives the other team a 4-0 lead.
Perry has honestly done a masterful job piecing together the bullpen this year
Welcome back tony!
Never would’ve predicted Brandon Drury having a better slugging than Trout
Great come from behind win.
Also
Erica Weston is hot
Chris Devenski.
When you absolutely positively need to get out of a bases load jam.
Accept no substitute
More of that pls
Angels hitting in RISP and a clutch bullpen, scary hours for the MLB
“Oh *hell* no.”
– The Rally Monkey (probably)
Good comeback win! Didn’t think they could pull it off! Well done lads!
It’s a damn shame we can’t vote for relief pitchers for the AS game.
EMBRACE THE RALLY MONKE
Estevez is just so good gyat damn
Frieri, Street, Robles, Iglesias
These are all our last few closer acquisitions (that have stuck around for more than one season) we’ve made the last decade or so. All of them started out guns blazing, only for all of them (aside from maybe Iglesias) to all flame out unceremoniously within one or two seasons.
I desperately hope that Estevez is going to break this streak. Pls don’t be fool’s gold.
Estevez for cy Young.
No, I will not elaborate
The Angels are now 7-4 in Anderson starts
Praise the monkey
Free Chick-fil-A too right?!
Not gonna lie, I was prepared to lose by double digits after the 2nd. Glad the team pulled it together for a great win.
15 saves recorded
15,000 heart attacks induced
The Carlos Estevez experience
🪓🪓
Was at the game so wasn’t sure, Rendon taken out for defensive changes?
