Oh shit the Angels won somehow. Maybe these guys actually want to win but they are just not very good at it.
Here is a sweepstakes for World Series tickets.
Padres pitcher Tim Hill underwent finger surgery that probably ended his season. Byron Buxton will begin his rehab assignment, almost just in time. Brewers pitcher J.C. Mejia was just suspended for PEDs. Tigers outfielder Riley Greene will have exploratory elbow surgery. Who says the age of exploration is over?
Carlos Correa went on the ten day injured list with a flare up of his plantar fasciitis. Veteran slugger Carlos Santana has 299 homers with just 11 games to play in the season.
I’d give you more of the usual MLBTR links but my antivirus thinks there is something wrong with those guys all at once.
Boston is officially eliminated from the postseason.

The following conversation happened at my work…
Person 1 – Guys will cheat on their beautiful wives, yet stay loyal to losing baseball team.
Me – That’s because their wives don’t fuck ’em. The Angels do it several times a week.
aaaaaaaand scene.
Jeff just fixed the game thread.
I’d be happy with the 6th pick so a win here and there is ok, even “good”
stupid adell… swings on first pitch like the Tank Commander Rengifo, but SUCCEEDS in getting a hit.
I’ve really liked Adell’s approach at the plate since returning
rendon makes that play
Canning … TANK MODE – ENGAGE
Passed balls – neto to 2nd.

I guess this is the gamethread. GO TEAM!
Tuck the Fank!
Sorry, I just looked at the sidebar, and there’s a post from May, “I Guarantee a Wildcard Spot for the 2023 Angels“
Where do we get our refunds?
Schanuel not in today’s lineup. Easy game to root for the tank
CTPG feels like a cocktail party at 2 a.m…. most everyone has gone home… only the problem drinkers and hosts are hanging on.
I don’t leave until the cheese plate and cocktail weinnies are gone.

The Foundation Building Materials’ keystone of the game today for the SoCal Seraphs is “Which of the Pickwick Triplets Did It” by Steve Martin and the creators of Only Murders in the Building.

Was it Arte? Was it Perry? Or was it Nevin? Did one of them destroy the Angels’ 2023 season?
Or if you want to go with the player version, maybe it was Rendon, Loup, or Anderson.
The Angels struck out 19 times yesterday and won. Only 2 guys that came to the plate didn’t strike out.
Schany and the Plumber.
Would like to see the Plumber play every day to close out the Season.
Agreed. Let him play 2nd and have Drury DH the rest of the way?
Plumber is good for the tank, good call
Saw you last night Kiyotchan.
You back for good…hope so?
I hope!
Nolan Schanuel is a special talent having a special start to his career and we aren’t talking about it enough.

Or a badminton coach. Hes tall enough and swings his racket with grace.
Good news for 2024. Neto, O’Hoppe, Schanuel, plus a potentially solid bullpen with guys throwing gas.
The return of the injured.
Better years overall for Detmers, Sandoval, etc.
The Loup and Tepera deals come off the books. Wow, were those two year deals ugly.
Drury has another year on his deal.
Silseth — and no further friendly fire injuries.
I leave it to others to add to this as desired.
I’m going to do a taking inventory piece at some point soon.
Detmers and Sandoval taking big steps back this year really hurt the team.
You forgot Ohtani signing a 1yr deal to show good faith to his loyal Angel fan base while at same time recovering from surgery to properly validate what his full FA value will be in 2025. LOL
What has gone right in 2023,
Everyone have a great day today and remember it’s an early get-a-way game today.
So many missed opportunities to do something right in 2023 and still counting.
No playing Fletcher at 2B would have been a disaster. He’s done, ever since the extension he has steadily declined in the finest trAdition. The way you harp on it makes me ask is he your Grandson or something? The Angels would have been no better off with him in the every day lineup.
So the Angels won a game – poor Bastards can’t ever get it right.
