Fucking useless
ugh that’s too unlucky
Missed opportunities really hurt us this game.
I hate Rob Manfred.
Plenty of chances to score. Awful loss.

Angels batting with runners on base
Disgusting slumps:
Taylor Ward:
14 for his last 86 which is good for .160/.258/.333
Logan O’Hoppe:
6 for his last 58 which is good for .105/.150/.273
Jorge Soler:
5 for his last 46 which is good for .109/.180/.289
I will never understand why the home team in extras doesn’t lead off with a sac bunt. You just need one to extend the thing. Don’t be dumb. Small ball works
Probably .05 percent chance to make playoffs now
0-8 with RISP won’t cut it. Damn.
god im still fucking heated about that d’arnaud strikeout when the ball is like 1000000000 inches away from the strikezone at 3-2
Astros needed every bounce to stay in this game. The bapance of power has shifted.
Love ward watching the only strike in the ab go by him, then proceeds to swing at the next 2 balls to strike out. Man he has high highs and low lows.
Just cursed beyond belief against this team
Trout has 0 CLUTCH IN HIM
Idk why people act like the guy on 2nd is a guarantee with this team because I’ve seen them strand the bases loaded with less than 2 outs lmao let alone just a guy at second.
Would’ve been nice to steal that one but maybe tomorrow night
Another good Kikuchi start wasted, Christian Moore’s first career home run also wasted. Just a disappointing game.
Bum ass team
I’m so tired of losing to the Astros.
why do we play like pvssies against the stros
Damn
This was very very winnable. Yuck.
Pitching was good but offense was just horrendous, only 2 runs from homers
Well
Hard to win when you load the bases three times and don’t score.
This team seriously needs to go through some situational hitting drills or something. 11 left on base is absolutely horrendous. Need to capitalize.
Astros still own us. Hopefully the team doesn’t let one close loss spiral into a sweep, here’s looking at you Baltimore series
Adell deserves Taylor wards spot
The highs are high but the lows are very low with this team 🫤
Is that 5 runs in 2 games? All 5 runs by solo shots? Someone please wake this team up
Got 1 more loss scheduled for tomorrow, then possibly they can eek out a win in the series finale when they realize they’re comfortably below .500
Fuck the Astros man
Poor Kikuchi just can’t seem to get any run support from these guys man
Hey guys look at the Astros bullpen ERAs. Hader is 1.67, Bennett Sousa the guy who just shut us down is at 1.69 after being 8 and 4 the previous two years, Abreu is at 1.97 despite consistently zero control, Bryan King who shut down our other best rally is at 2.70, they’ve managed to get 2.60 so far from a very old and inconsistent Steven Okert, and the clown who almost blew the game for them in the 6th Shawn Dubin is at 1.35.
Meanwhile our lowest-ERA reliever who has thrown at least ~20 innings so far is BROCK BURKE at 4.30!!!!!!!!!
I teach sabermetrics, I know ERA is not a good stat. But Jesus Christ, one of these orgs has some semblance of pitching development and one of them doesn’t. And the Astros FO is DECLINING!!!

Heartbreaker. We had so many chances to win that one
By no means am I an expert but the majority of the Angels at bats are extremely awful
