We let AO manage a couple innings

Look on the bright side. At least you guys get to watch this train wreck and relax. I have to go to another one of my stupid girlfriends friends weddings today. (Who the fuck picks a sunday?)

 

Same group of people who have married like 4 times in the past 18 months... meaning my GF is getting stupid ideas.

The Angels may be the worst defensive team in the league

At least one of the two “best players in the history of the game” rarely shows up when the bright lights are upon him, so everyone’s the blame for this consistent ineptitude!  Also, ban me if you”ll choose, but as much as I love the guy, Ohtani is a distraction. He’s an entertaining circus show within a mediocre, poorly run circus. 

Damn it. Did the nurse forget to give you your meds again?

What'll you do if we come back and get the dub today?

Silseth is at 48 pitches.  Blum and Fletcher both noted that the Angels said he was good for 60-70 pitches today, so hopefully he can eke out a couple easy innings here before he hits his max.

Have dinner and relax.

Hey, at least the Angels aren't the worst pitching team today: the Reds are down 17-4 to the White Sox in the 5th inning.

Last night someone should have told Silseth he would be pitching today.

They need to tell him he'll be pitching six days from now.

I respect that tbh

[TroutField]

It’s basically 4-0 right now, not over but the bullpen needs to keep it there.

Better than landing the Derek Jeter gift basket.

Instead of banning you, which will ultimately probably happen, how bout we laugh at your horrendous takes.

I’d rather be down 11-7 than 4-0.

Credit where it's due.

@Stradling made a joke in another thread this weekend where he imagined a guy named ranger oracle calling Chris Young "Chris old", and I forget to give it a like I think.

Yea, I’ll admit, when you didn’t like the post I was deeply saddened.

Completely agree. This isn’t over

This may come as a surprise to many of you, but this would be my preference.
