48 comments

  1. You hear that?

    That’s the sound of a million twitter users furiously typing to put out their hilarious and original Tungsten Arm O’Doyle joke.

  5. It’s like an abusive relationship that you absolutely should walk away from but you just can’t.

  6. is that genuinely three straight losses for Devinski? Man, he’s been so good, hopefully he can pull it back soon

  7. Don’t go on r/baseball for the next day or two if you value your mental health. Rooting for the Angels means you probably don’t value it anyways

  9. Velasquez has no business being on a MLB or AAA roster. Get this bum out of here.

  10. Aside from the defense, even Colorado couldn’t fix the Angels offense.

  11. I take solace in the fact that, had squid not made that error, the three run homer would have still lost us the game (I don’t take solace in this fact and am severely coping!)

  12. Blight side, we could watch Troutani back to back HR and Sho’s cycle watch🙃

  15. I already know jomboy and the comedic idiots on r/baseball just got a hard-on at the thought of getting to type an oh so original Tungsten joke. So I kindly invite them to go fuck themselves with their keyboards

  17. Tomorrow’s a Saturday so the Angels will lose 4 in a row before Anderson pitches

  18. That was a heartbreaker. No other way around it. Our offense was dead the last series and then we just give up too many runs today. Gotta take the series now to stay positive about the last week

  19. .500 here we come, Perry should be sweating. This is not a playoff team with guys like Squid, Walsh, Rengifo, Padlo, and Ward in the lineup

  20. Nevin needs take Devenski out high leverage spots so he can find himself again. We did this last year with Loup and kept putting him out there.

  22. Devinski seriously needs to get that change up down man. The last 3 games he’s leaving that thing up.

  23. Ive actually tallied this. Today was the 10th gut punch loss of the season. Thats 10 games where we snatched an L from the jaws of a victory. Just killer man.

  24. Velasquez needs to be gone ASAP.

    Rengifo has the arm span of Nemo and Ward has the baseball IQ of Dory.

    Devo needs to be sent down or let to cool off because the dude is unraveling like a fucking shitty roll of TP on a construction site.

  25. Squid better be getting escorted onto a flight to salt lake city as we speak. Walsh too

    We cant have “defensive replacements” who fuck up defensively when they cant hit their weight.

    We’ve seen enough to know what they are at this point. Especially squid. Send a message that mediocrity isnt good enough. Not this year.

  26. I’m not totally blaming Devenski but he’s regressing HARD. Its like his third appearance in a row he’s given up runs in an important situation.

    Idk how much Squid should get blamed considering Walsh basically threw the ball like Squid was a scooping first baseman (could that have been a double play? maybe)

    Next two games are a must-win, hoping Tyler Anderson has a good game

  27. Velasquez returns to the lineup and we suddenly start struggling. He is the definition of a liability.

  28. Bullpen has been unsustainably hot, at some point there was gonna be some outings like this. Hopefully we get Moore back and are able to get back on track

  29. I’m stunned, one of the reasons why Neto has been a huge loss this past week. He would have made that play.

  31. I sincerely hope i’m wrong but i feel this is the start of a downfall, i will more than happily accept being mass downvoted if that’s not the case. Was a fun ride

  32. That was completely and utterly awful. Not only how we lost, but we used up Bachmann and Webb as well.

    Add to this our injuries and this team just has a mega feeling of bad karma and voodoo around it. I wouldn’t be shocked at all if we completely collapse and are under .500 in no time.

  33. Is everyone really made at Velasquez for not catching the ball that Walsh spiked into the dirt?

    Edit: Question, last week Taylor Ward is playing first base and picked a ball to save the game by swiping his glove at it. If he misses was Ward at fault or the guy who threw it?

    Edit 2: Upon further review I saw that the throw wasn’t as bad as I initially thought. It was low and a little off the base but it wasn’t spiked in the dirt. The throw should’ve been caught

  34. Call Fletcher back up! What an absolutely brutal Tungsten loss! Just totally unacceptable against a crap team!

  35. First grand slam the Rockies have hit in over two years.. lol Angels baseball gents. I fucking hate this team so much. I’ll see you all tomorrow

  36. Can’t blame Ohtani if he ends up being on the other team next year. Feels like he’s wasting his talents here and it would be devastating if this team can’t make the playoffs this year.

  37. It’s not going to get easier, but maybe the Angels will break their Saturday curse tomorrow.

  38. I dont think Fletch could be worse than gifo or squid but perry thinks otherwise?

  40. Not trying to be an ass but everyone being shocked we lost when we have guys like Velazqueef and Padlo starting for us now because our training staff sucks

  42. Game is tangibly different without Urshela, Neto, and Rendon.

    This sucks so hard, my dudes.

  44. Y’all wanna fault Velasquez, but, how about Sandy giving up 10 hits? Lucky he only gave up 3 ER. Come on now.

  45. This sucked ass.

    Also, everyone take some Lithium. The bipolar roller coaster here is ridiculous. After the Rangers series, we were gonna win the World Series. Then we lose half our infield and struggle, and the Dipshit Doomers take over.

    Fucking calm down and do some yoga.

  46. Rockies/Angels fan here. What y’all saw tonight was a good ol fashioned post-humidor Coors game. Seriously ask your friends who are Dodgers or Padres fans how many times that exact thing has happened to those teams. I still wouldn’t read too deep into the pitching at all in this series because what happened to Sandy and Devo is pretty much what happens to a ton of visiting pitchers when their breaking stuff doesn’t/can’t break the way it usually does. That being said… that defense… There needs to be an immediate change. Hopefully Escobar can join the team as soon as possible and be that change. I had a fun time at the game and as always Fuck Dick Monfort and Fuck Arte Moreno. Sell both of the teams.

  48. ive reached the worried stage as an angels fan this season. not far from the “im over it” stage and stop watching. 10 years of attendance for nothing
