Angels 9 Astros 7
This game sure had it’s share of excitement.
Schanuel opened this game with a 65MPH single that had a .220 XBA. But the Angels would open up the scoring in this game with a Taylor Ward sac fly and Schanuel on third. Sometimes it’s better to be lucky than good, right?
The Astros answered back quickly and Detmers struggled to get the 3rd out in the second inning, leading to a 3 run home run by Altuve and putting the Astros up 4-1.
Detemers would eventually leave the game after allowing 6 runs on 8 hits and leaving the Angels with a 6-1 deficet.
But these scrappy Angels fought back with a 7 run 5th inning that included back to back jacks by O’Hoppe & Adell. Schanuel also homered in the inning and Neto followed with a solo shot of his own in the 6th.
The Astros did mount a rally off Estevez, scratching across a run but Estevez closed it out. What a ballgame!
The Halos Flambeing Frambor was awesome.
Framber probably needed his neck iced down after those neck whips on those shots.
Go Halos!
Exciting come from behind win!
Shufflebot was here
So you are guaranteeing a win tomorrow ? or did Saturday Night never happen kind of like August 1, 2012?
It’s funny, but earlier tonight when I saw we came back, I was thinking it’s Shufflebot tonight after all. I knew something felt off, and I went back to look at previous scores to remember that we are actually only at 2.
I guess tonight’s win was so fun that it felt like 5 straight.
Wow. I thought this was 3 in a row. I’ll take shuffle away.
What the fuck was that?! Signs of hope for the future?! I don’t know what to do with my hands!!!!

Fuck that was satisfying. Like a morning hummer. (Moderators: My one f-bomb and crude simile quota for 2024 expended!)
Does she also do engine work on BMW’s?
About the Trashtros coming in having won 8 of 10, I’ll give them the 2 of 3 vs Milwaukee but the other 6-1 came against Detroit (sub .500, next to last in the Central) and Oakland.
I’m looking forward to more games within the division. We’re not going anywhere but I’m starting to think we’ll have a lot of fun this season
The next best thing to not winning consistently is winning irritatingly.
The “kidz” are starting to make me believe that they’re a legit “core”. Exciting
Cool to Jo Adell playing well and clearly enjoying himself.
It’s going to be fun when Trout is the DH in about a month. I’m hoping he can come back and mash the way he did in 2022 after the back thing.
Trout is an old 33, put him in the DH slot and he’ll age even faster. Like his old, old teammate Albert.
Who(s) ?
Loved seeing the Core 4 all get the postgame interview with Erica.
Yeah, that was great.
Yep, we’re only beating terrible teams and pitchers…..huh….oh okay….
Tonight was a legitimate quality win and something to build on. We beat a good pitcher when our pitcher wasn’t very good and the bull pen, with the exception of Estevez, held the lead.
The bats won it for us tonight, something that hasn’t happened very often. There were also a few nice defensive plays as well …
That was some kind of video game inning. I was listening in the car on the way home.
Go Halos!!
Growth…. This is what Ron was preaching.
LTBU! And we’re out of the cellar.
Also, Estevez, Suarez and Detmers need to go.
Hard to call for Suarez to go after this outing (other outings, sure).
So shouldn’t we be looking at his total body of work?
Cuz thats still a DFA for me
…and all all the way from the Inland Empire, Suarez with the W
Estevez should not be closing any more close games.
Estevez should not be doing any more games of any kind.
I’d like to see ANYONE else close at this point. Someone brought up Garcia. Fine, try him Or perhaps call up Joyce and see what he’s got.
LTBU!
We own the AL West going forward!! 😀
I missed those days of Big Dad Vlad and HK 47
now it’s the Adell Era !
Are we now Rolling In the Deep?
That O’Hop HR swing was magnificent!
Looked good up there, right?
May be the best game of the season so far, not in terms of the high blood pressure it induced at the end, but how we got there.
Angels down 6-1 due to our “ace” flailing.
Then our core four hits HRs in the game.
And we beat the 🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️🗑️
How could this not be the best game yet?!
