Last game of the Freeway series, and last time to see Ohtani at the Big A. Until next year. Ugh. Whatever. How did this team do anyway? Well Griffin Canning went 6 and 2/3 innings, giving up 1 run on 4 hits, striking out 7 and walking 4. WHAT. And he was a few inches away from 7 scoreless innings too. Yeah. Outstanding game.
And what was more outstanding was the offense as they actually scored plenty if runs this time! Even Rendon contributed! RENDON. What year is it?! Yes this season has sucked, but a game like today’s really shows that sometimes, baseball is beautiful. Even for us.
Highlighted Recap
Rendon got the Angels up early with a 2 run single.
And M-I-C-K-E-Y hit a 3 run home run to put the blitz on in the first!
Then next inning, Niko hit a home run as well because why not? Like, who even is he?
And Rendon flashed some leather as well, making a great play in the 5th
Oh and Ward hit a Home Run in the 5th as well because he was missing out on the fun.
As mentioned above though, Canning couldn’t quite make it 7 scoreless as he allowed a run on a seeing eye single.
Not to fear, for Adell is here to get that run back in the 8th.
And Ward adds another as well.
Neto makes it 10!
Angels win!
Upcoming
Road time again for the Rangers and Twins. Neither team living up to their potential either, although at least they had some hope earlier this year, and the Twins may make the playoffs. Yeah. Not the Angels though.
O, was 1-8… that means he missed us.
Watching those highlights, that looks like that was a fun game for the Angels fans. Fuck the dodgers fans.
Anyone have last night stats on how many Dodger fans assaulted their spouses, or innocent Angel fans, after the game?
Angels beat dodgers.
According to my crime map, there was increased crying activity in the blue sections of the parking lot, over by the dumpster.
To quote Kool-Aid: “OH YEEEAAAHHH!”
Invited to the game tonight. Great experience. Really fun to watch those Dodger blue tears!!
But..but.. our favest bestest player of all time went 0 for 4 with a strikeout.
How can you be so happy?
Let us all just move on from former employee #17. 😀
Hats off to the Angel fans who paid a lot more for tickets because of the Doyers, you got to see a fantastic win. 1 for 8 Sho, I know you really wanted to show up your old team. Don’t cry, go home and hug your dog.
I had it on good authority the Doyers were gonna work us over and last night was our ONLIEST chance at even sniffing a win. Whahahpen?
Nostradumbus was wrong?.
Nostradumbass?
CMo did not tear his ACL 🙏🙏🙏
“The Angels say Christian Moore has a left meniscus tear. He is going to remain with the AA team. It will be treated conservatively. It’s possible he could play again this season”

Isn’t that the same as Trout?
MCL tear for both. We don’t know the severity of each tear.
I’m not thrilled to hear CMo is skipping surgery, but at least his ACL is in tact
Exactly. Get the surgery and heal up now.
But why play again this season? Does the minor league season not end in a few days? Seems like it should not be worth the risk.
Tonight felt like Shotime never left the Angels 😝
Love seeing Ward get his trade value nice and juicy for the off-season.
#FreeTaylor
Ummm, no. Starting Angels OF in 2025 will be :
Ward LF
Moniak CF
Adell RF
Sorry Mike, it is time to get used to being a primary DH who plays maybe 1-2 days a week in the OF.
Love a good blowout.
We can still finish at .500
Ward has come a long way back. Too GA to do this myself but I bet he’s had a pretty good last 140 plate appearances
Why exactly are we in a division with Houston and Texas instead of Los Angeles again?
These games are so much fun — wish we played them more often.
Today we were not the Red-hatted step children.
Angels knock out dodgers
Owned.
Panther of the game was that silly Dodger fan with the brick glove. He got some serious screen time for that epic fail.
🤣
I purposely stayed out of the game thread to not jinx them. Nice outing for Canning, another enigma who shows great stuff, then gets hit like a piñata in the next outing. Doyer fan tears should help the water table during this heat wave.
The way this team has played we could go 5-1 vs Texas and Minnesota or 0-6
Very possible
It’s a crazy game. Anything can happen.
Angels > Dodgers
Legitimate championships since 2002:
Angels 1
Dodgers 0
That was fun. LTBU
