CTPG un(official) Drinking Game – Updated for 2023!

Back in the days of the old old site, I put together this fun list. It was all the way back in 2016.

Anyway, not all of you drink and some of you shouldn’t but for that that enjoy a tasty frothy beverage, here is a way to get you through some of the long rough games the Angels have been having.

Don’t drink and drive people!  This is a game to play at home or if you are in the stadium and taking the train or Uber 🙂  However, it works much better at home while you are posting in the game threads.

Take a sip:

• Every time an Angels hitter strikes out
• Every time the Angels ground into a double play
• Every time the Angels make an out on the basepaths
• Every time the Angels give up a run
• Every time Angels pitchers allow a hit or walk
• Every time Mark Gubicza talks about how the Angels could do something better/different
• Every time a bad play happens and they show Phil Nevin in the dugout
• Every time someone says sweep when Shohei Ohtani is pitching
• Every time someone mentions “buttercup” in the game threads
• Every wild pitch or passed ball

Take a chug:

• Every time the Angels make an error (two chugs if it’s Trout, Neto, or Ward)
• Every inning that ends with Angels runners on base
• Every time the Angels give up the lead after the 6th inning
• Every time an Angels pitcher gives up an extra base hit
• Every time Angels hitters have a 1-2-3 inning
• Any time Aaron Loup or Jimmy Herget enter a game with runners on base
• Any time Jaime Barria enters a game
• Any time an Angels pitchers needs more than 20 pitches to get through an inning

Finish your drink:

• Every time Anthony Rendon steals a base
• Shohei Ohtani loses despite a quality start
• If any announcer mentions how good the Angels are
• If an Angels pitcher blows a save
• Every time an Angels starter doesn’t last at least 5 innings
• Any time an Angels pitchers gives up a lead off home run

Do you have suggestions for additional rules? Post them below and maybe we’ll add them to the list!!
