I think it's 7 solo home runs, just to be accurate. 

Yeah, I missed that.

[CaliAngel]

GIDP?

I don't wanna say it, but sadly...

[eligrba4ever]

Ward bats with a runner on board.  Chance for a 2-run homer FTW.

[CaliAngel]

DUDE what the F**K are these guys swinging at up there? 

Holy crap, they have to be guessing up there, there's no other explanation...

[Waybackman]

Watches 2 called strikes and swings at a ball in the dirt. Running into that wall ruined Ward.

[fan_since79]

Shohei, save us!

[Revad]

Well at least there’s a chance- with Ohtani.

It's just such a bad approach at the plate, like if you're willing to swing at strike 3 (which was in the dirt) why aren't you willing to swing at strike 1 and 2 which were without a doubt better pitches to swing at? What the hell was he waiting for? 

[fan_since79]

Crushing...

Damn.

[Waybackman]

Have we bottomed out yet?

Closer to top 6

[fan_since79]

Why do I even get upset anymore at this crap?

 

[eligrba4ever]

Shohei finishes it on a pop fly. 

Just another exhibition of Angels futility. 7 Soio Homers and a 8-7 defeat. 

BRING ON THE MARINERS!!

[fan_since79]

First pitch infield pop up. 

No words...

[bloodbrother]

This team continues to pile on milestone after milestone for futility. This team is special

This, out of many this season, is like the most Halos thing ever.

[cysomeawfulpitcher]

Their next game will be a loss with 9 triples.  

[fan_since79]

Just about ready to give up on this team but I won't...want to see what they do in the off-season. I always get sucked back in. Hope springs eternal. Or maybe I'm just an idiot.

Close game at least. We are gonna have a high draft pick. Almost a guaranteed top 10. I pray to the maker we have competent enough people to not screw it up.

[Angel Oracle]

At this point, I can only laugh it off.

Positive news is 7 HRs hit.

Ohtani up to 24, on pace for 37

Moniak’s first HR, hopefully of many, as a Halo; and hitting the ball hard twice

I was at the game. How a team hits seven homers and loses is mind blowing. 

[PattyD22]

I feel lucky.  I’ve got to see:

Ohtani have 8 RBI’s in a game.  And lose

Hit 7 HR’s in a game.  And lose

This team is truly magical
