Extra Extra Sweet Postgame

Happy Postgame! A quick double and a single put the Cardinals ahead 1-0 in the bottom of the second inning. The Angels came back in the top of the third with an Anderson single, a Ward single, a Rengifo double, and a Trout double to make it 3-1 Angels.

Jordan Walker homered in the bottom of the fourth inning to make it 3-2 Angels.

We had a long period of nothingness. Ian Anderson came in to pitch the seventh inning and retired the Cardinals in order.

In the bottom of Ben Joyce’s eighth inning, Nolan Schanuel committed a two base throwing error to allow a Cardinals run. 3-3 tie.

The Angels did nothing in the top of the ninth inning. The Cardinals couldn’t score in the bottom of the ninth. We got extra innings again tonight.

For the tenth, Kyren Paris pinch ran at second base and Yoan Moncada walked. Nolan Schanuel drove in two runs with a two run triple. DFA! But seriously, 5-3 Angels.

Jo Adell singled to make it 6-3. DFA!

Tim Anderson grounded into a double play.

Garrett McDaniels came in and a walk, a wild pitch, and a double made it 6-5 Angels. Travis d’Arnaud chipped in a passed ball to send the remaining runner to third. Ryan Johnson came in to pitch but gave up a run to make it a 6-6 tie. Double plus ungood. Well hell! They loaded up the bases with an intentional walk. The Angels got a force out at second to end the inning. Sheesh!

Taylor Ward grounded out and drove Tim Anderson to third. Luis Rengifo popped up a suicide squeeze but Tim Anderson managed to make it back to third safely. The Cardinals walked Mike Trout to get to Kyren Paris with two outs and men on first and third. Paris hit an RBI single to make it 7-6 Angels.

He stole second base. Yoan Moncada doubled to make it 9-6 Angels.

On to the bottom of the eleventh. Johnson stayed in to pitch and gave up a single to Victor Scott II to make it 9-7 Angels. Ryan Zeferjahn came in to pitch. Game over. 9-7 Angels.

LOL! Who are these guys and what did you do with the Los Angeles Angels?

One of those rare “no quit in us” wins that was fun to listen on the radio while driving on the interstate. Loved Hendricks pitching even 78 mph pitches, good stuff Kyle.

So far the luck has shined on the Halos which is very different than in recent memory.

I know that we aren’t allowed to believe this because it saps power from the idea that Arte is at least the worst owner ever if not the worst human ever, but the team’s had pretty rotten luck for a long time now. I think if we just have a normal rate of prospect failure, free agent failure, injuries, etc we will feel like things are at least nice if they aren’t GOOD.

Erica reported she heard crying as Wash had Rengifo bent over his knee while holding a torpedo, What the hell was Rengaffo thinking in the 10th? That kind of shit begs for a DFA.

Gawd it would be great if the Wash/FO actually listened to your 3Bs talk about DFAing Rengifo and did it. Especially if folks were like “You did it Billy. Your balls are so big!”

No trade in the summer. Or better yet, a shitty trade cause after all we DFA’d him at one point. Newman starting all the time. I’d shit on this ultimate act of CoachDadness after almost every game.

I missed the game tonight because of shitty Amazon Prime + FanDuel subscription not working together for this game. Loved seeing how fired up the kids were in all those highlights! This team is playing with a fire that I haven’t seen in years.

Can you imagine if Rendon was around to ruin all the fun?

Eh. Players seemed to like him. It’s just fanbags that are angry with him.

I just feel like I can’t remember ever seeing him show emotion in tight games like this. The only emotion I remember is the Mariners fight and the altercation with the fan.

Regardless of whether he was well liked by fellow players, he didn’t seem like much of a rah rah guy.

Maybe I’m just blinded by my rage though.

He was kind of known for NOT showing emotion in all situations. It was why Nationals fans loved him. He was calm cool and collected. Now he’s been juju’d into being a cripple because he’s not Garritt Cole.

Remember when we could just walk into the living room, collapse on the couch, press a few buttons on a huge remote and the game would reliably appear?

I prefer streaming for most things, but man I miss the l ease of satellite tv growing up.

But we all cut the cord. We won. we are saving millions and we never have to pay to watch a bunch of crap we don’t want to see. It’s the revaluation and it is working. To say otherwise would offend the gods…. who are brought to you by GAMBLEMAX. Are you concerned about your play?

I’m not even sure he returns. His injuries of late are all linked and build on each other. His hips, back etc have got to be trash. He may be done moving around like a normal person.

Oh yeah. He’ll be free as fk. Sure, he’ll have to do a “program” of work outs so he can walk around for a full day, but he’s rich so I’m sure we’re sure he’s happy.

Ryan Johnson has become the first American League pitcher with a win and a save within his first three MLB games since Toronto’s Roy Halladay in 1998-99.

NGL, I thought we were cooked after the Shanny error. This team got that that young, dumb and full plumbs vibes; starting to believe…Shit. Team showing the magical clutchiness you need to be different. There’s still hope to brainwash my kids aways from the Evil Blue Empire up the 5. 😇

There can be no on your own there. You look for the squeeze sign and if it’s not on there should be a verbal or signed in swing away. That’s On the staff either way.

Oh we’re like 5%-95% on the losing end of that bad boy. No comparison.

Ghost runners, by my cranial estimate is like 30%-70% we lose. But it’s a nice little run at the moment.

Ok so through 45 regular innings we’ve plated 11 runs. In 3 extra innings we’ve scored 8.

We also still have a -2 run differential.

This season has been fun so far!
