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
…or 51st state. I’m not sure. 😎
I blame Canada
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
This is very relatable to how I’ve felt today. 🍻
you are ridiculous lmao 😂😭
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.
That was awesome, suck it Roberts
Not often I’m happy about an Astros win but this was incredible.
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.
L.A.
Angels or dodgers?
Boo Hoo Doyer Blue
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?
Shhh!
Don’t tell the Angels.
Ignorance is bliss.
Jays should be bunting there
Still so mad from Sunday!!
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 !
What is this Bunt you speak of?
Yeah, I agree
Let’s hope Jo continues his success.
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?).
Let’s get them tomorrow
And Sunday. Blue Birds? What the hell is that? Weird….
Those birds have a Maple leaf ear? How?
Weird Canadian perv scientists
Yes we can
Why, we can even get to ..500!
But can we get over it?
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…
Arquette in the lineup July 15th?
Holliday or Arquette plzzz
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.
An Angels bunt practice gif.
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?
The New York Knights
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
40% of our hits and 100% of our runs. He has turned into an absolute stud.
Jo Adell.
Powder blue uniforms was a bad look for UCLA. Powder blue hats is just as bad a look.
I’ve seen 3run mega blasts before but never after a guy has been punched in the nose. Legend.
