Great! We face Andrew Heaney when Ron Washington says he doesn’t want the Angels to be a home run hitting team.
And the fielding alignment today …
They should have a Taco Bell promotion called “If the Angels get runs, so do you.” Thank you very much. Don’t forget to tip your waitress.
Now on to the Postgame! The first six Angels struck out in a row. The Angels are not a home run hitting team. They are apparently a striking out team. In the third inning they did manage a groundout and two fly ball outs. The Pirates had scored a run on two singles and a sacrifice fly. 1-0 Pirates.
The Pirates threatened again in the fourth inning but the Angels turned a 6-4-3 double play to end the threat. At the end of the fourth inning. Heaney had retired twelve batters in a row. Eight of those were strikeouts. Two of those were strikeTrouts (strikeTroutsTM Charles Sutton) .
Silent C coughed up a homer to Oneil Cruz in the top of the fifth inning. 2-0 Pirates. Travis d’Arnaud broke up the no-hitter with a double. It didn’t matter. Schanuel reached on an error but Rengifo and Paris failed to do anything. Still 2-0 Pirates.
Tommy Pham drove in a third run in the top of the ninth inning. The Angels came up and produced their 12th strikeout, a double, a groundout to short by Neto. Then Mike Trout flied out to end the game. The Angels lost 3-0.

Shoutout to this angel lineup that only struck out in 40% of their AB’s.
Booo. Sucking sucks.!
We should Tar and Feather the person that predicted Heaney would shut us out!
It doesn’t work that way — the people you should tar and feather are those fools who said we’d sweep or clean up on the Pirates !!!
For me the most depressing part of the game was having a hamburger who’s been on 8 teams come in during a reasonably close game and then have that hamburger give up an extra run.
Granted, we did nothing in the 9th anyway but had it been 2-0 still we’d have had the “thrill” of the tying run being at-bat
Until he turns it around, it’s Kyren Perris.
Perry + Paris = Perris?
Save Perris!
Quick Paris numbers. From the start of the Houston series, he has only 4 hits. His avg has gone from .419 to. 259. His OPS from 1.514 to .917. He’s in free fall!
Also throw in 16 K’s over that period.
Trout, 21 K’s during the same period.
Rendon 0 k’s
We need Rendon back NOW
“No habla strikeout today”
Woof
Keep Paris and send trout to the minors lol

Missed all but the 9th.
Offense just sucks right now. Payback for when it was cranking earlier.
Hopefully back to .500 tomorrow.
strikeTrouts pure gold Charles!
Now onto Go Kings Go!!
Shouldn’t be long before the stadium is empty for week day games.
Most people came dressed as seats tonight.
I bought seats for August already by then I should be able to move to right behind home plate
Diamond Club has a special credential and entry point. This isn’t 1982 anymore my friend. 🤣
Wear a red polo and ask the usher “do you know who I am?”
Works every time.
Nice thanks. That’s what I will do
Slick my hair back and say I’m Arte
Bitch
Angels lost and now I really want a western bacon cheeseburger.
Goddammit.
Haha. Munchies?
Might as well get the double western bacon cheeseburger if your going to pay those prices.
Exactly
Super rip-off fast food prices. Carl’s Jr by my place is a morgue now., same with KFC (Kentucky Fried Crap). Want better fast food: IN/OUT or Chick-fil-A.
I agree with you but, a Western Bacon Cheeseburger w/extra BBQ sauce is delicious.
Buy an order of onion rings at The Hat and drop a couple into a 3×3. Order plain but bring your bottle of Baby Ray’s BBQ sauce and two slices of bacon from home. Build your own from the bones of an In-N-Out 3×3.
A’s burgers in South OC has better onion rings than The Hat.
I’ll take a look immediately after my next blood draw.
I got a laugh from the trademark. So there’s that, at least
Go Kings Go! Oh wait, wrong site…
