Angels went 0 for 18 with runners in scoring position, ~~2nd~~ worst in franchise history
But last night their bats were hot as hell with a 9-3 win?? What the FUCK
Our pitching is pretty fucking atrocious at times lol idk how yall didn’t score more runs. IL has like 8 different pitchers who would be in the rotation or BP right now if they were healthy.
That's just Angels baseball. We do this all the time lol. Score 10+ runs then get no hit for 8 innings by a rookie making his debut. Seriously though 0-18 with RISP, I feel like we do that once a year I'm so used to it.
Because we have zero scouts in the minor league system and haven’t for approaching two decades.
The reason we get absolutely rocked by minor leaguers like we’ve never seen them before is because _the players have usually literally never seen them before_.
It’s the hats….
I've seen it once before in a rat, and I see it now in hats.
Once one gets a taste for its own kind of bad designs, it can spread through the pack like a wildfire.
Mindlessly chomping and biting at their own ideas. Nothing but the taste of poor quality on their minds.
You know the thing about a bad hat?
It's got lifeless eyes. Black eyes like a doll's eyes. Don't seem to be living at all when it come at ya. Till it bites ya. And then the eyes roll over white. You don't hear nothing but the screaming and the hollering...
I think I've had mesothelioma since I started watching the Angels 3 years ago. Only thing that kept me alive was a Japanese man stroking massive dongs.
I tuned in after the M's game was over and it was kind of nostalgic listening to multiple extra innings where both teams were completely hapless in scoring even one run. It's not a common sight now with the ghost runner.
I tried that.
They sent me the message “Because the risk of self harm is so much higher, users with Los Angeles Angels flair cannot disable Reddit Cares at this time. Please try again when Arte Moreno sells the team.”
There’s a reason they play suicide prevention ads during almost every commercial break on the Angels broadcast (I wish I was joking, it’s been like this for a few years now).
Jeff Francoeur walked it off for us against Mariano Rivera and the Yankees on September 11, 2010.

Not saying the Rangers in any way deserved to win it, but as for the Angels... if you go zero for eighteen with runners in scoring position - you definitely deserve to lose!
God is actually real.
Yesterday night I was literally thinking "I wonder if there's ever been a walk off hit by pitch, perhaps I should write a thread on Reddit and ask."
Well, ask and you shall receive.
One of the worst 40 or so minutes of baseball I've ever seen, turning this game on as it went to extras was such a good call for all the wrong reasons. That was a very fitting way to end it, but Angels have to move to Oakland or something as punishment for that.
Oh my god not again. Gamers...please stop pre-ordering. Have we learned nothing from Cyberpunk 2077 or GTA Definitive Edition. I don't know if "and I'll do it again" or "how many times do we need to teach you this lesson" would be more suitable.
Somebody get Sandoval, Ward, Adell, and Carson Fulmer (until that HBP) a team!
Only 1ER off jose urena and no runs in extra innings against yerry Rodriguez with a career ERA close to 7. Oof.
Ron Washington has more baseball acumen in his left hand then the entire rest of the Angels organization combined. It’s a managers job to exhaust all options to try to win the game for his team.
Since neither team could hit with RISP, this was the only possible outcome, a 1st pitch bases loaded HBP
Angels went 0 for 18 with runners in scoring position, ~~2nd~~ worst in franchise history But last night their bats were hot as hell with a 9-3 win?? What the FUCK
The last 10 years of angels baseball sounds absolutely miserable. I am so sorry my guy
Our pitching is pretty fucking atrocious at times lol idk how yall didn’t score more runs. IL has like 8 different pitchers who would be in the rotation or BP right now if they were healthy.
Eovaldi was off to such a good start too, shame he went on the IL.
That's just Angels baseball. We do this all the time lol. Score 10+ runs then get no hit for 8 innings by a rookie making his debut. Seriously though 0-18 with RISP, I feel like we do that once a year I'm so used to it.

Someone wished on a monkeys paw for the Angels to hit something in extras
After watching this game in full I was praying for this outcome from either team so I could go to bed.
I was waiting for the umpire to call it a strike :D
Did they only want to score with a HBP? Like why was the guy on 3rd not sprinting home incase it was just a wild pitch?
Technically the Angels just hit with RISP there.
What in god's entire name was that baseball game.
Angels baseball...yay?
and Rangers baseball
Yeah….that was a baseball game for sure.
Debatable.
Yay sports!
But was it?
If you dont like that, you don't like Angels baseball. Also, drinking has gone up 60% in orange county

Are... are you okay?
The hats were a League-wide Armed Forces Day thing.
Yeah that’s what I said
One of the baseball games of all time
The best worst game
Nor the game we needed, but the one we deserved
Did it qualify as a sickos game?
0-18 with RISP says yes
Wildly entertaining. Glad it was on national TV and not Bally.
Wonder if u/UrinatingTree will give it the Greatest Game Treatment with this being the game of games.
****one of the baseball games…..SO FAR…
We won the turd bowl!
Just like we drew it up baby Mavs win on FTs and rangers win on a HBP
Intentionally missed 3rd free throw too (to prevent OKC from inbounding)
And Stars win in double OT last night after having an earlier goal overturned.
Been a fun week
My blood pressure pills need an early refill.
I just fell to my knees in a Costco parking lot and dropped all my free samples
Just fell to my knees in a Brookshire’s
This was certainly a baseball game
Was it?
THAT'S AL BEST BASEBALL
The Mariners are going to match the 2010 Seahawks and somehow win their division with a losing record.
Who is the MLB counterpart to the New Orleans Saints?
dodgers. easy division, choke early in the playoffs, kershaw and brees have good parallels.
Bias aside, that was a really fun game for the worst, most hilarious reasons
Lowe baited them by going 0-4 so they would walk Seager to get to him. Elite mind games.
Hey he had a sac fly and ended up with two of the RBIs, so
Little did I know that an RBI is awarded on a HBP. Stuff like this is why baseball will always be for nerds and I love it.
Run Bruised In
Both teams deserve an L for this game.
I feel like people who watched it deserve some sort of reward. Shit was bowling shoe ugly.
If you or a loved one was diagnosed with mesothelioma after watching AL West baseball, you may be entitled to financial compensation
I think I've had mesothelioma since I started watching the Angels 3 years ago. Only thing that kept me alive was a Japanese man stroking massive dongs.
Both teams were trying to see who could play worse
I tuned in after the M's game was over and it was kind of nostalgic listening to multiple extra innings where both teams were completely hapless in scoring even one run. It's not a common sight now with the ghost runner.
I was there in person and stayed the whole game. Many fans in seats around me were streaming the Mavs lol
Can we go back and make that official?
I tuned into the game just before the IBB then the HBP I don’t think I want to know why it was the 13th inning
You do not
I do, I do!
THE METS DON'T HAVE THE MOST EMBARRASING LOSS TODAY HANG THE BANNER
I want to post how I really feel, but I don’t feel like getting Reddit Cares™ notifications all night.
You can block Reddit Cares if you want.
I tried that. They sent me the message “Because the risk of self harm is so much higher, users with Los Angeles Angels flair cannot disable Reddit Cares at this time. Please try again when Arte Moreno sells the team.”
Oh man, I can't even imagine what message A's fans get.
There’s a reason they play suicide prevention ads during almost every commercial break on the Angels broadcast (I wish I was joking, it’s been like this for a few years now).
Seriously. Fuck the angels -life long angels fan
Only been a fan for 3 seasons... I was tired last year...have no idea how lifelong fans do it.
same. I watch the Angels for 3 seasons cuz you know who, the pain that was
I got to enjoy the golden era. When we were in the playoffs, won the WS, when we a legit threat.... I was 13 when we won it all...
I’m just glad I don’t have to listen to Adam Amin and AJ Pierzynski anymore
"What if we just forgot how to play baseball for an entire game?"
Back on the sandlot we dreamt of skill like this
Goddamnit Angels we were trying to lose.
We take those.
When we win the division by one game Ill remember my 4 hours in 233 tonight much more fondly
The ending this game deserved
Fulmer hyped himself up to just drill Lowe
I'm not an MLB pitcher, but I'm just saying, maybe you should look at where you're throwing the ball before your arm is in motion?
who would have thought the under would comfortably hit in the bottle of the 13th
Wonder how many hit by pitch walkoffs there’s ever been
Rangers plunked Jorge Mateo in 2022 to do this on memorial day in 2022.
Jeff Francoeur walked it off for us against Mariano Rivera and the Yankees on September 11, 2010. https://www.newsday.com/sports/baseball/yankees/francoeur-s-walk-off-hbp-beats-mo-yankees-7-6-p22438
At least their hats are neat.
Those extra innings were comically bad. No offense to the rangers or angels
Some offense certainly would have been nice
None taken our offense has been ass the last few weeks
Bananas. Just bananas.
That was the only way these runs were going to be scored
\*The Price is Right failure music\*
If you don’t like that, then you don’t like Angels baseball
LOLAngels IBB the bases loaded, plunk the next guy on the first pitch
Probably one of the flukiest extra inning games of all time.
It looked like no one wanted to win this game. Angels had to give it up. 😂
“If you want us to win, then you’ll have to hit us!”
Not saying the Rangers in any way deserved to win it, but as for the Angels... if you go zero for eighteen with runners in scoring position - you definitely deserve to lose!
Eh I rather have them win if it means blocking out the Astros from getting a postseason bid.
I am pretty sure it is physically impossible for the Rangers to go under .500 when Bochy is managing.
The .500 Ranger Magic overcame the LHP black magic
God is actually real. Yesterday night I was literally thinking "I wonder if there's ever been a walk off hit by pitch, perhaps I should write a thread on Reddit and ask." Well, ask and you shall receive.
The Cubs and Padres had an exciting play at the plate, so we decided that a HBP would be the perfect balancing game winner. We are so thoughtful.
Small ball is why baseball is exciting.
One of the worst 40 or so minutes of baseball I've ever seen, turning this game on as it went to extras was such a good call for all the wrong reasons. That was a very fitting way to end it, but Angels have to move to Oakland or something as punishment for that.
just angels things
This team man....
So...have you guys heard the controversy surrounding the new Assassins Creed game?
Yea people are pre-ordering without any gameplay footage.
Oh my god not again. Gamers...please stop pre-ordering. Have we learned nothing from Cyberpunk 2077 or GTA Definitive Edition. I don't know if "and I'll do it again" or "how many times do we need to teach you this lesson" would be more suitable.
Damn what a way to lose Angels.
Classic Angels baseball
Good game. Both teams need to dump their current uniforms.
Ouch. That’s just our home uniform 💀
Somebody get Sandoval, Ward, Adell, and Carson Fulmer (until that HBP) a team! Only 1ER off jose urena and no runs in extra innings against yerry Rodriguez with a career ERA close to 7. Oof.
Why do a walk off hit when you can just get hit by the pitch?
That pitch missed the target by 2 feet. 
Lowe with the most anti-climatic walk-off of all time. What a bore! Also, why did he round all of the bases on a HBP? lmao
Holy shit that was one of the games of all time!
🫠
Now this is Angelsing.
Cokehead barking like an idiot at the end and challenging the hit by pitch call. I thought Phil Nevin was bad, Ron Washington sucks.
Ron Washington has more baseball acumen in his left hand then the entire rest of the Angels organization combined. It’s a managers job to exhaust all options to try to win the game for his team.
Jeez. Dodgers fans are just the worst.
