Every game we suck, closer to a top 5? Or maybe 3 pick?

I wish it was the end of Sept so I don’t have to watch this garbage anymore. Well goodnight everyone.

Good pitching by Ohtani, but otherwise a very bad team. These players don’t deserve a single dime for the way they have been playing.

two decent starts. Oh, HT, this is why it’s important to win the first game of the series. If our best pitcher doesn’t get the win in game 2 then….well, here we are. Do we feel we can win tomorrow?

=) I don’t think Ohtani going yesterday and Quintana today would’ve changed any results =)

Yup, our 1 run does win 2 games

Yes, tthinking about it a little more, Ohtani wouldn’t have gotten us a Thursday win. Sandoval was fine. If our starters don’t pitch complete games then we’re in trouble

Did it really matter what pitch?

At least try to make it look like you’re trying to make the pitcher work a little.

The 1st 2 batters didn’t. We can’t blame Rojas

Ward sucked at the plate today. He expects those 5 RBI’s from the other night to last for a while.

meanwhile down on the farm…Round Rock 8, Salt Lake 2. Marsh 0 for 4, Adell 0 for 4. Stassi, the previously mentioned 2 for 3, CRod the 1 inning, no runs, no hits, a walk. Pannone, 5 IP, 7 ER.

This is the first year I’ve been at least checking the AAA boxes once a day (I didn’t pay much attention back in ’19) and it’s really interesting that the other side usually has some guys who ride the shuttle/guys trying to get back to the show. Saw Josh Reddick earlier this year

Thats equivalent to only a .500 OPS in AAA Dog years.

Brown was raging mad. Must be bad to get struck out by an Angels bullpen pitcher

Every relief pitcher in the bullpen has caught the same incompetence virus.

I like this style

If you keep the ball out of the strike zone the batter can not mash it to the moon

I cringe every time they show that shift.
