I love Mark Gubicza, I love Mike Trout. LFG HALOS WOOOOO LTBUUUUUU
L!!
#The Angels are 3-0 since they ate grasshopper tacos in Houston.
# Angels Abbreviated – 2023.06.07
Today, on National Chocolate Ice Cream Day 2023:
– Mike Trout made not one, not two, but three great outfield catches! [Robbery!](https://mlb-cuts-diamond.mlb.com/FORGE/2023/2023-06/07/9008c706-9245a135-1d9f8e1e-csvm-diamondx64-asset_1280x720_59_4000K.mp4)
– Trout hammered a hanger [deep to center](https://mlb-cuts-diamond.mlb.com/FORGE/2023/2023-06/07/14fc9cb2-8c5b3829-a6b05ce1-csvm-diamondx64-asset_1280x720_59_4000K.mp4)
– Mike has now homered against the Cubs, meaning that the Dbacks and Pirates are the only teams to never have surrendered a dinger to the Fish Man
– Luis “El Fugitivo” Rengifo hit a [homer to tie the game](https://mlb-cuts-diamond.mlb.com/FORGE/2023/2023-06/07/1eb32549-32cb00db-a343fb20-csvm-diamondx64-asset_1280x720_59_4000K.mp4), and then a [single to steal the lead](https://bdata-producedclips.mlb.com/70f8c1fd-acda-4c51-8c71-9c63660858cf.mp4)
– both times, first pitch swinging and first pitch crushing!
– Jaime Barria had another strong start: **5.0 IP | 3 H | 2 R | 2 ER | 1 BB | 3 BB**, on 76 pitches. Not yet fully stretched out, perhaps, but the innings he does pitch are mint quality
– Aaron Loup managed a scoreless inning, needing to be bailed by Trout only two times
– Mickey Moniak hit a [bases-clearing double](https://mlb-cuts-diamond.mlb.com/FORGE/2023/2023-06/07/38684f74-3c8d59e6-cad23ae1-csvm-diamondx64-asset_1280x720_59_4000K.mp4) so devastating that Cubs manager David Ross tried the silliest challenge, accusing Zach Neto of not touching third base
– Zach Neto beat the allegations!
– Ben “Wild Child” Joyce walked the bases loaded but got out of the jam
– Sam Bachman shut down the last two innings to hand the win to the Halos!
Light That Baby Up, Angels win the series and go for the sweep tomorrow. They’ve had 19 come-from-behind wins, second in the majors!
**Elsewhere in the division:** Meanwhile, Rangers, Astros, and Mariners all lost, meaning that the we gain a spot in the standings!
Series win ☑️
Let’s get the sweep then piss on the Mariners this weekends.
Undefeated in the Rendon groin strain return era
Joyce W!!
rendon comes back and angels can suddenly hit with RISP,, cant argue with that. its science!
Best team in the league
This team handles below .500 teams but wets the bed against good teams.
I HAVE A MAN CRUSH ON MICKEY MONIAK
Great all around game. Barria continues to look awesome as did the bullpen (including LOUP!) – trout and Mickey with some unreal plays in the outfield and getting the big hits. Love to see it! Let’s get the sweep!
Trout vs the Cubs this series
https://i.redd.it/odbw0y40zp4b1.gif
Bullpen didn’t give up a hit 🔥 🔥 🔥
Detmers bounceback game tomorrow, let’s go for the sweep
Wayne Wendsday mfs! 😇
Angels win
A’s win
Astros lost
Rangers lost
Mariners lost
WHAT A GREAT DAY
🕯 👉 👶 👆
Let’s get a W for Detmers tomorrow and sweep!!
Run differential going up
Great game. Going for the 🧹.
Bachman’s best MLB outing so far. He pitched dirtyly
Our record by announcing crew:
Wayne & Gubie: 28-20
Patrick & Gubie: 4-6
Matty V & Gubie: 1-2
Peacock (with Gubie): 0-1
Apple TV+ (with Wayne): 0-1
And some people wondered why Rengifo was in the lineup…
Fun game.
Hits were distributed pretty evenly throughout the lineup which was nice to see.
Still feel like we should’ve scored more off of Taillon though.
With the contact we were making it could’ve been 9-2
It’s always a good day when we win. But add an astros, rangers and mariners loss? Can’t get any better than this
Trout look right into Loup’s eyes: There will be no ERA today
Great win and no doubt a sweep is coming tomorrow. Quote of the day from the game sub which was great for the most part:
“Can’t stand Rengifo on this roster”
Early innings post then conveniently disappeared after his HR.
Walsh looks so lost at the plate. He is at best our defensive replacement right now. Platoon Drury and Gio at first.
