Another pitchers’ duel was held at Angel Stadium on Sunday afternoon, and the home team was not to be the victor despite another in a rather consistent stretch of Sandoval gems.
It looked as though things might be different for a minute, however, as the Angels seemed to rough up Walker a bit in the first. 2 batters into the bottom of the 1st, it was 1-0 Angels after Marsh led off with a double and Trout singled on the first pitch he saw. Some poor sequencing turned 4 hits into only that 1 run, but this was promising.
But Walker would settle down over his next 5 innings and strike out 10, only allowing 2 more hits and 1 walk the remainder of his outing. The Angels offense would fare no better after he exited, striking out a total of 16 times and having precisely 0 hits against the Mets bullpen.
The Angels lose another series and play the Dodgers next. Maybe a few games against a bad team like that is just what the Angels need to get a series win. /s
I came here frustrated after watching the game to complain, but oh well there is no point it doing that. We played one of the best teams and took 1 out of 3.
Although I will say that things are getting interesting for the trade deadline. There is a significant part of me that thinks we should completely blow it up and trade everything that we can find a taker for. I have a hard time arguing against the fact that we’ve hovered “in the middle” for years and years and years with the same strategy every time. Hold onto our cards and hope that one day a pair of Jacks will win the whole championship.
1 out of 3 is not acceptable. Because of that awesome 14 game losing streak we have to WIN each three game series. Taking “1 out of 3” is not going to get it done. In fact, in short order we really need to go on a 7 or 8 game win streak minimum, just to get a few games above .500. Until that happens we are not or will not be in contention. In fact, I will not be celebrating any wins accept those that secure a series victory. The exception would be a highly improbable win, like being down 4 or 5 runs in the 9th and coming back to win.
But winning the middle game of a 3 game set after losing game 1 is not cause for celebration, even if it is an impressive 11-6 victory. Winning the FIRST GAME of the three game set is key, since it is usually that team who takes the series.
Trade Ohtani, he’s gone after next year anyway
I think the Angel’s biggest problem today was that they didn’t win. The secondary problem is that the other team scored more runs than us. Who do I blame for this?
The Dutch.
Oh, and also some dumb shit quip about furniture and the Titanic.
I like Dutch cities (best bicycles, nicest sidewalks for cyclists and certain lets just say herbs!!)….free crocs for everyone!!
Nobody can find any reason to dislike the Dutch… which is why you can’t trust the Dutch. It’s all a long long con.
Mets are the team we thought we were
Yeah that Eppler is awful.
If he was still here THE OLIGARCH would have him living out of his car like a feral cat..
Nice guy………
If we had an additional $110 million to work with we would probably do better
I really don’t like that fraudster Cohen.
One of these days people are gonna stop blaming anyone other than Arte…
And on that day, I will rest.
Have you heard he’s an Oligarch?
I mean, we just call them billionaires in the US, and he has over a billion dollars…so yeah.
Another tough series lost. Should have a better Lineup vs the Dodgers when the Angels will be the healthiest they’ve been in some time. Bullpen continues to struggle, maybe Warren can help them out back there. They just need to find some consistency and translate that into Wins. Easier said than done of course.
I’ll wait for Ward’s return before I give up on 2022.
He should be traded if we can’t right this Titanic by Mid July
Why in the hell would you trade Ward?
He is still young (relatively) and cheap. He is not somebody you trade.
He wants to post Ward’s picture without a caption.
Aren’t you a month late with your insults? LOL!!!
30 days ago today Reid Detmers …….wait what he do again?
We need to blow up this team..
They all stink of losing and we should move to San Bernardino. I wanna see Fords, Chevys, and Kia’s not European pricey SUV’s in the parking lot. Tired of casual fans…….
San Bernardino??? Lol. That ain’t happening. Angels will relocate to Long Beach in light of the recent corrupt scandal involving Angels Stadium sale which is now axed..
Why did your.beloved Jerry trade Edwin Diaz? 😂
They’re a small market team.
Just like Cincy, Oakland, Pittsburgh
Last yr they had a sub $60M payroll, why did Cincy trade first Aroldis Chapman then Raisel a few yrs later?
Seattle is the 12th largest market…. I think Cincy is 36.
They don’t have a FSW cable TV deal, all they do have is a nice stadium…..Nice Try!!
Nintendo had more cabbage to work with then John W Stanton.
At least they don’t have their minor leaguers living under a freeway overpass in blue tarps. Ask ESPN not Roger Lodge……
Seattle still is the 12th largest market
You still use your words like your mom drank too much while you were trapped inside her.
LOL you got that from me 2002….
You can get your Hyundai or Geo stolen from the 66ers parking lot.
Same. I know it’s not original, but to me it’s the all star break. If we’re still limping slowly lower in the standings or can’t seem to get over .500, then It’s time to sell. I’d be in the SELL BIG camp personally. But in the end, I think we’ll just hold pat and hope for lightning in a bottle. The definition of insanity perhaps…
Remember boys and girls..
The Angels had it EXTREMELY tough because of the conditions on the field with the bright sunlight and the shadows. Angels’ broadcaster and apologist extraordinaire Mark Langston reminded us of that.
Forget the fact that the Mets played with the exact same conditions..
Nevin should get a mohawk to pump the guys up for this next series.
Shave his name jersey into his back hair….

Feel good game last night…absolutely zero carryover from our guys.
If the Angels do become sellers, who realistically fetches the most value?
Just like last year, Angels will tread water enough to force the GM to think he has a shot at the playoffs. He’ll hang onto Thor and Lorenzen. Rasiel with the 4-yr contract is no longer a shiny nugget.
Ward and Lorenzen
Angels defense sucks.
Cut down on strikeouts.
Huge improvement needed.
Batters need to learn about situational hitting.
Their hitting staff needs to learn about that as well..
Your ideas intriguing to me and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter
It’s only $14.95 per month. Think about signing up…
Whoosh.
We’re all subscribed, unfortunately
Damn we’re terrible.
Lineup struck out 16 of 31 AB’s. Great job again guys. This isn’t a one off occurrence, they’ve done it more than a handful of times.
As much as we want to blame our shit bullpen and garbage fielding, you don’t win many games scoring 1 pitiful run.
Now in third place in the AL West behind Texas……………..
Sandy and the fans didn’t deserve this shit….!
This is horrible.
The same problem.
Loup
Bradley
Bradley
Iggy
come in and give up 3 runs and the game (one run charged to Sandy).
Isn’t this exactly what was happening before with Joe?
Nevin needs to change things up in some way to justify the firing of a winning Manager for a rookie manager with no MLB experience.
Doesn’t matter who’s mananging
This bullpen sucks, the fielding is in the toilet again (Duffy in the 7th) and everybody except the CTPG Pollyanna’s who would say Deep Impact is a positive movie, knew you can’t win with a starting rotation from Dollar Tree.
💪 💪 💪
I think the biggest problem with this game is that the bottom 4 of our lineup combined for 9 strikeouts and 0 hits. That’s awful
To be realistic it is time to make some moves. Velasquez, Ligares, and Rengifo just aren’t very good hitters. All these strikeouts from game to game are just destroying this team not to mention the horrid relief pitching
For the first time – I’m actually down for a Trout trade.
Why?
Arte is still the owner.
Would we trust the front office to get more value back?
No we wouldn’t. 😂 oligarchs and all
(especially in Russia or Orange Co CA USA……) a very rich business leader with a great deal of political influence.
Free Trout?
DowningDude…. No, that is not going to work or happen….. Can’t give up the ship…..
A previous version of this postgame said that the game ended 3-1. Alonso is not very kind for making me wrong.
Mets got him for $12M
Yes Tooty. That is a player that is goodish who plays for another team. Very good. now get back on your doggy bed and gnaw on your animal cracker.
Nice work OLIGARCH https://halohangout.com/posts/la-angels-owner-arte-moreno-exposed-major-contributor-mlb-lockout-continuation
💩 💩 😠 😢 Hey Polliyanna’s you’re welkum tew dabuhk mee if yuhwanna get embarasesd again as always. Woe watchit butterflies and puppy dogs!!!
old 🧢
So is bashing the manager and the announcers. It’s June 12…….30 days ago the Pollyanna’s were so smug against me when Reid Detmers threw his No No.
4 GAMES UNDERWATER TODAY. False positive Fool’s Golders refuse to believe that our infield sucks sans Jered Walsh and that Patrick Sandoval pitches just well enough to lose. Many of these poor souls think Win Loss records don’t matter anymore………BUT THEY DO!!!
You must be in heaven right now. Enjoy
Can we bring back Johnsamo?
Can we trade 2002 for Halowood?
Ha ha. Now you are gonna bash Sandoval??? One of the few bright spots in our pitching staff!
This loss was not on him! He gave up one single legit run! And what did the offense do for him?
You are an idiot if you are gonna bash Sandy or suggest trading Ward or Lorenzen.
Soon we will have an I-Bomb limit
No more use of moron, dumb ass, buffoon, either 😆
Wait you can’t do against yourself in sarcasm either?
That’s how you stay within the community guidelines.
Ha ha. Yeah, I do use that alot. Because of the prohibition on profanity I find it comes in handy.
Do the Mets have anybody left on their current roster that was there on the 2015 NL Championship team? Maybe Jacob DeGrom who probably wasn’t a starter yet if so. Turnover happens and you need to accept it even with a 30 yr old Thor Syndergaard who has a 85 yr old body now.
TAYLIR WAHRD SHOOD BE TRADED ALAWNG WITH JO ADELL, AND MYCHAL LORENZIN FOR GOOD PROSPECTZ.
💪 💪 💪 💪
Man, I don’t think I’ve welkum dabunked Pollyanna since way back when ska was cool.
Isn’t that the same fansite that is pimping Joe Giradi as the #1 BEST EVAH CANDIDATE TO MANAGE THE ANGELS!!!! 😩
