Grichuk missed the hit and run sign?

Even if he did, that was a terrible jump by Escobar.

Thais moves too much

[Angel Oracle]

Did Thaiss blow the pitch frame on the 2-2 pitch????

[Slegnaac]

Come On Blue!

[CaliAngel]

Never remember hearing Goob vehemently say "that pitch needs to be called a strike" before.

He sounds about as frustrated as us with not only the team, but the bullshit umpires.

He keeps mentioning what Det is currently doing.

Usually a faux pas, but, you know, this is the Angels we're watching...

Oh, gotcha. I'm watching a stream so I get the Rangers feed. I figured it was something like that. Detmers will either get it done or won't, I don't believe in unintelligent stuff like jynxs.

My pops says if he was an umpire, and a catcher framed pitches like Thaiss, he'd just call them balls.

"A strike doesn't need to be framed, if that catchers glove moves, obviously it's a ball."

[Angel Oracle]

Has to be it for Detmers, despite working on that thingy after 7 innings.

Pitch count is already close to when he did that thingy in May 2022.

[Stradling]

I’m incredibly impressed at the coaching performance by Wise tonight. Well done Matt.

O’Hoppe can’t get back soon enough.

I ump high school and completely agree. I tell the catchers to stick it and stop moving it.

Moniak down to .279 with an .811 OPS.

Wife beating pansy Chap on the mound. Of course Texas would sign him.

Scoring some insurance against him would be sweet.

Oh jeez, nm...*sigh*

Here comes Detmers in the 8th...

@Deek hopefully he'll see Ohtani and get some seats in the shade.

Took everyone’s advice and got seats in section 321… hopefully we’ll be in the shade for a Shohei masterpiece….!

321? 

Fancy! 

You should be golden, love those 300 section seats...

He's out of the doghouse for at least the rest of this month.

[daygloman]

Well, that's too bad!

Go Halos!

[AvsBroncosAngels05]

I give Nevin a lot of credit for letting Detmers have a shot at it. I don't even care about the standings anymore as that's over but I want a shutdown from the bullpen here so the poor kid can get a win.

[Angel Oracle]

Guess that delivery adjustment helped a lot.

[CaliAngel]

Prepare for immediate implosion.

[Sho Way That Was A Strike]

I know Seager is an Angels killer but Garcia is their best hitter isn’t he?

[VladdyforHOF]

Rangers broadcast blaming the no-hitter ending because in between innings Thaiss short-hopped a throw back to Detmers during warmup tosses.
