  1. Feels like this team will kill me one day I swear lol

    Most of our recent games have been incredibly close. If we start winning these tight games… WILL them as a team to big wins, and with our injured guys coming back then I’m incredibly (and cautiously) excited.

    Also, I love Moose. What a fucking guy.

  2. We won yesterday, and we won today. That’s two in a row. If we win again Friday it’ll be a winning streak!

  3. It’s crazy how Moose immediately became a main character of the team right up there with Shohei

  4. If the Moose has a million fans, I am one of them 🙋‍♂️

    If the Moose has ten fans, I am one of them 😇😇😇

    If the Moose has only one fan then it is ME 🦌

    If the Moose has no fans then I am DEAD ☠️☠️😵☠️☠️

  5. Estevez is back hopefully.

    Cron better be doing fielding drills before every game from now on

    The team needed this.

    #**LTBU!!!!**

  6. Great Scott! It’s back!!!! To 500!!!! Light that Moose up! Our San Francisco treat!!!

  7. YEAH. THE ANGELS JUST WON A SERIES AGAINST A >.500 TEAM.

    WERE BACK (no. i’m not reactionary whatsoever)

  8. Game summary:

    -Ohtani pitches very well with 0 ER in 6 IP, while getting out of some jams (Mood: everyone appreciates Ohtani as usual)

    -MOOSE 3-RUN HOMER!!!! 🫎 ⚡️ 💪 (Moose Mood: everyone loses their minds)

    -Estevez finally get a save again!!!! (Mood: People lose what’s left of their minds)

  9. Nice win gang.

    Great pitching from Shohei with Estevez getting a nice little confidence booster at the end there

    Just enough clutch hitting for a respectable lead late in the game

    To be clear, at this point I still no longer have any real expectations, but if a miracle run is going to happen we’ve gotta take it one game at a time.

  10. Thanks to Ohtani’s 19 straight innings without any earned runs he’s brought his era down from 3.71 to 3.17 and is now 7th overall in mlb in era when he was in the 30s before that. 1.06 whip 9th overall and .185 batting average against still 1st overall.

  11. Did y’all see the postgame where this dumb fuck interview journalist asked ohtani why he didn’t pick the giants or if he would’ve back in 2017 if they had a DH like wtf kind of question was that

    Ohtani’s response btw : “ I don’t wanna focus on my past I just wanna win ball games for the angels and the future”
