If baseball was like boxing, this game would have been called off after 2 innings. Heck, if MLB played by the same rules as Little League the Angels would have lost via the mercy rule. But, alas, there was to be no such indignity.
The Angels got off to a nice start. Jo Adell landing a right cross to punch in a run in the top of the first.
But then the Angels took on the role of Tommy Morrison in his battle against Ray Mercer. This brutal clip is a perfect reflection of this game from that point on.
Much like Morrison on that night, the Angels could have really used Mills Lane jumping in and stopping it sooner. Instead, the beating just continued.
It was 7-1 after 2 innings. 11-1 after 4. Owsald Peraza came in to pitch in the 7th. At some point the final score doesn’t matter. That was that point.
This play by Jo Adell was sweet, though.
What the hell are they doing. Remember when Jack looking like a decent #5 last September. I think they have utterly destroyed him this year, with last night being the final blow,
Why bring CMo up and play him erratically. You got nothing for Rengifo at two deadlines, and now he’s not part of our future.
I could go on, but what’s the point. We simply have no development, no coaching, no rebuild, no plan.
Can’t believe there’s still over a month left of the season. That Run differential is going to be brutal.
I rotated wearing my Angels hat and shirt throughout the year as a friend who also loves the team was sure it would change their fortunes. I don’t believe there has been a difference.
It wasn’t a KO. It was assisted suicide with Montgomery playing the role of Kevorkian.
Yes. Clearly Montgomery is the problem here. Very good.
You didn’t watch the game dumbass.
And yet, I am still so friggin smart that I bet if I look at the actual stats and his decision values Monty will turn out to not be the big crushing fail.
You’d lose. While I realize you value virtually no one’s opinion here other than your own, his pitching management is what made that game unbearable. Go read the game log.
I’d rather we don’t all start calling each other names again.
I was at work, and saw us go up 1 to 0. I was happy, and went off to do stuff.
I came back later and they’d given up 10. Oh well, we lost this one, might as well move on.
Then I checked back later, and thought GameDay had malfunctioned.
I bet on the rangers starting pitcher getting over 4.5 k. That was easy $.
Remember when Perry said he didn’t want to sell at TDL because he wanted the team to play competitive baseball in August/September? Well we are 9 games back of the last wild card spot.
How’s that working out?
If we were eligible to be in the lottery we’d be looking at pick #7 instead of #12 but it doesn’t matter. 7 or 12 we’re drafting the 23rd best prospect
Exactly. Minasian showed why we continue to have one of the worst Farms year after year despite high picks. The only above average pick during his tenure is Neto (sorry Shanny).
But, we are one half game out of last. So there is that.
That was true when you wrote it with Oaklamento’s win tonight we are are in 5th by percentage points
Meaningful.
Man I dislike that guy.
This is an absolute joke. Won’t get much lower than Peraza tossing softball in the 7th inning of a professional game.
Peraza pitching is an embarrassment to the team, the league, and the profession
MLB needs to institute a mercy rule, and in the spirit of the Mendoza Line, it will be called the Montgomery Rule for Advanced Suckage.
Or just disband the Angels.
Oh. Oh my. I’ve been stuck in a recording studio and missed this gem. Very meaningful. Extremely go for it. This is sort of a version of all in I guess?
Angels only manage a single Field Goal in this game …
Jeff, I admire you even more for getting this recap done
It didn’t look like Adell caught the ball. Did I miss the joke?
No, I screwed up. That play happened when I took a break from the game and I plugged it in.
In short, my post game is as good as the real game.
Oh no, the post game is far, far better than the actual game was.
Yea, I dint watch the game so I thought I missed something
So they suck so bad at baseball they decided to play a football game tonight and apparently they suck at that as well
There has to be some respect for the game.
If there’s negative run differential for dignity, we hit triple digits below zero tonight.
To cheer myself up I perused the box scores for SLC and Rocket City. Both won but man, their season records are dreadful
We Always finish the season strong…. September should be fun.

Angels should be fined and brought before the league. Monty should be fired and forced to take a bus home.
I hope you’re not proposing he take Buck Rodgers’ 1992 bus ride are you?
