Angels Lose on the 4th Postgame

The Angels climb to .500 then fall back by a game. Rinse and repeat.

I don’t have a lot of highlights lined up because I spent the evening with family and friends enjoying the holiday. I hope you did the same.

On thing I can queue up in advance is my all time favorite 4th of July baseball clip.

I would like to vent just a little here for a moment. How is it that an American Game, Baseball, on America’s Birthday is played in Canada? Why are games of MLB even played anywhere but America on the 4th? It’s the little things that Manfraud misses out on that matter. GO USA!  🇺🇸

Because the USA is Canada’s 11th province

I’m wore out, down the hill 4th BBQ, swimming, croquet, horseshoes then driving to fireworks show, 4 hours later driving back up the mountain, waking up with coffee, show up here to find the Blowpen at work again. Jo Adell, who I would have traded a few seasons ago is just coming into what smarter people believed because they had patience the I failed to produce. Go Jo, don’t ever stop what is working kid.

So Kershaw hints that the Asstros are cheating because they had a huge night at Chavez Latrine. Sometimes you feel like a nut – sometimes you don’t. I hate the ‘Stros, but sometimes good team erupt, no rhyme or reason now is there? It’s just sad that the Human Gnome exploded for a career night.

Another big day in store and big night down the road, so Go Angels and CtPG team enjoy your day and the game. BTW if you don’t have a cornhole game get one, ton of fun. I’ve got to get one myself.

We should sign Luis Garcia and trade him at the deadline.

I missed all the drama because I’m a good (ish) dad and was slowly getting high whist my children were wading in a pool of water. Merica! Round em all up AMIRITE??? JK JK JK JK. Mamdani 2028. Oh shit…no politics right. To be fair I’m cross faded on bath salts and MDMA. I love and wanna fight the USA

We may have lost 4-3.
At least we didn’t lose 18-1, like the Dodgers did against Houston, at Dodgers Stadium, no less.

Man, there is NOTHING like the seethe that comes off Dodgers fans because they just can’t accept that Houston’s extreme cheaters beat there suspected cheaters in the WS. God I love the Astros when they play LA.

Wonder how many Doyers fans left in the 6th inning after that big Astros explosion ? Even knowing they would miss the fireworks probably 80 %.

Confused here. The home team is allowed to bunt the ghost runner, tied in extra innings?

I think that in extras EVEN the road team should play for one run when it is tied. This means you BUNT ! Get it Montgomery ??

The only situation you should not be bunting is if you are the home team and trailing by more than one run !

Has he finally arrived? He’s 39/120 (.325 BA) since 5-26. That’s 5+ weeks. Is it similar to Ward’s hot streak before he ran into the wall (man, I thought he had turned a corner and he was gonna be a perennial MVP candidate-but was he going to be superstar, or he was just on hot streak?).

Sigh.Ten days till that draft. Then like what? Six weeks till we see some of those players on our team? I kid. But even though they lost today I like how hard these guys go at “better” teams.

Here’s to Chad Stevens. May your first MLB hit come soon…

The whole purpose of Chad is to remind us how Newman is a rock star in comparison.

Left handed starter or high schooler, seems pretty clear that is the strength. Doyle feels like the guy cuz Perry could walk him onto the team in September. Arquette needs seasoning but one of the lefties has got to be the choice. I personally would go prep or Kade.

You’re not bunting in the top of the 10th as a road team but your photo is accurate. Angels have not displayed bunting skills in years.

This makes me wonder, which teams are good at bunting now days? Cause it’s not the Reds, Royals, Tigers or Rays either. Maybe the Guardindians?

Hard to say. With no pitchers batting, we see much less of it. Everyone wants to hit a dinger.

Even if the Angels scored the ghost runner in the top of the 10th, Bachman would have still gotten the ball in the bottom of the 10th and imploded.

Enjoyable yet excruciating game. Back at it tomorrow.

Jo Adell is a budding superstar. What else really matters?

These boys’ll get over .500 at some point. Likely just a visit, but I’ll be happy all the same. Way better than I was expecting this year.

100%. Even as leader of the “we want playoffs” brigade, I acknowledge it’s not fair to place those expectations on this team.

I’m having fun. We play imperfect ball, sure, but this team is a good watch.

So much fun to watch this year. Funny how having low expectations and being .500 is sooooo much better than having prime Trout and Shohei and being .500

I’ve seen 3run mega blasts before but never after a guy has been punched in the nose. Legend.
