We’re really gonna end the season winning 10 in a row aren’t we 

After being eliminated. So Angels...

Did Rendon reinjure himself? Just wondering why he was taken out so early.

Another multi-hit game for Livan Soto 

Soto's giving me Rod Carew in 1983 flashbacks when he hit like .450 the first two months of the season.

The plan for tonight was always to take him out after he got a couple of ABs.  He's supposed to play the whole game tomorrow, then be off again in the final game on Wednesday.

Love it if Shohei finishes with a 20-game hit streak.

I believe it was .500

He started 48-96 as I recall. I'll have to check.

@jsnpritchett or anyone else. When was the last time the Angels have had four starting pitchers that have started at least 20 games and posted a sub 4.00 ERA?

As of right now, and Sandoval, Suarez and Detmers are done for the season! 

Shohei Ohtani: 2,34 ERA, 27 starts

Patrick Sandoval: 2.93 ERA, 27 starts

Reid Detmers: 3.77 ERA, 25 starts

Jose Suarez: 3.96 ERA, 20 starts

Our female (forgot her name ATM) announcer said 2 ABs today, off tomorrow, to see how he feels, and back Wednesday.

Sam Blum reported Nevin as saying what I said earlier (i.e., day off Wed.).  Fletcher and Rhett Bollinger reported something similar.

Are there more than a thousand people there at the game?

The place is in a bad area. Not too many good neighborhoods in Oakland.

[beatlesrule]

Ohtani doing his best to get MVP voters thinking. His last pitching performance should be dominating too. I haven't been keeping track of what judge is doing opposed to how far ahead he is in stats of other players but if he does break the AL home run record, he will win the MVP regardless of what Shohei does in his final start.

[beatlesrule]

Not a good start to the bottom of the 9th.

The last 6 games Judge has been walked 12 times. Basically the league is telling him he isn't getting anything good to swing at the rest of the year.

lol this Quijada guy is a total nutjob

[beatlesrule]

[Waybackman]

Loup coming in to close it.

[Waybackman]

Well that’s a surprise!

[eligrba4ever]

Looking like Angels Baseball 2022 again.

And blow it

 

[beatlesrule]

Fart!

[PattyD22]

Loup seems to let a lot of inherited runners to score.  Lucky they don’t go on his ERA.

Quijada is the one who blew this though.
