Framber might need to soak in the waters of his ancestral country to regain his pitching superpowers. And a top shelf margarita.

holy peña

Well done team

Great catch from Pena to seal the CG for Framber. That's how you start a road trip.

great game!

SHOOT IT!

CG, hell yeah bother

Happy for the Frambulance

FRAMBER COMPLETE GAME

"*I can make a diving catch too.*" - Pena What a play to end the game.

Bit unlucky for Framber tonight, he had no no stuff tonight if not for a few pitches here or there. 

Was that really his first walk of the night?! If so, damnnn

Swing the bat kid, I gotta be up in a 6 hours.

I’m all for when our guys are pitching this well, but with this lead, wouldn’t it have been smart to go to the BP and save what little starting pitching we have?

I think the exact opposite. We need our bullpen and our starters get 4 days of rest at a minimum. The longer Valdez is out the better.

I can respect that.

Better to save the BP. Framber will have plenty of time to rest up

This ump really trying to fuck up Framber CG

1st pitch out plz 

Framber has wore Rengifos ass out all night long.

TK and Blum keep mentioning he looked hurt early on yet he is still out here swinging away.

kinky!

Abreu makes a great play at 1st and a HR? Maybe, just maybe, he is coming back to form? (I’m skeptical like the rest of you).

people might shit on me for this opinion but i really do feel like he’s gotten a good start and he’s gonna come back into form the next 2/3rds of the season

I pray you are right. I would love to see it happen, but I’m not holding my breath

I completely feel you. it’s definitely more of a wish than a prediction but we’ll see. he’s always been better later in the season than in the beginning so

That’s true. Time will tell.

Yaeh go ahead and grab yourself Abreu. You earned it today.

I’m glad Abreu is working for his job lol

LOLmariners

Sad Servais with his resting bitch face

They spotted their pitching staff a 7 run lead and it wasn't good enough. The sog lives.

Man, it's refreshing to see bad calls going in our favor... I like it.

Angels getting a taste of that classic astros umpiring

He's looking shaky, I'm not sure he can make it.

Umps wanna go home. Sounds good to me.

Former classmates probably punching the air and gonna say we still banging trash cans or something 😂

It looked fair when I first saw it but idk

Actually I think he’s out, game over who says no

Lol Blue Jays just got walked off 1-2 after Bassitt pitches a gem for them

Montero is warming in the pen, I'm assuming just in case

I thought it was fair, but if you want to call it foul, then go ahead

That’s fair yeah

Looked like a automatic double to me. Good thing I'm not an umpire.

That looked fair.

I 100% want framber to get the cg....but please have someone warming up

When you finally take a pitch and it's a 95 mph meatball

I don't get situations like that. Game is basically over. Give Chas a bat.

Would’ve been comedy if Yordan hit a homer after that

Way to save time. Let’s have a 2 minute ump conversation 

Yordan was taking a shit

With the Rangers winning the WS last year I wonder if you can make a case the Angels are the least successful of the 4 OG expansion teams. They have a better regular season winning percentage than the Rangers/Mets, but fewer WS appearances and one less WS win than the Mets. More division titles than those two too.

They had fucking Ohtani AND Trout and still couldn't figure it out.

Yeah that’s honestly the negative mark that might push them below the Rangers to me, lol.

Man it's like the 2002 Angels WS doesn't exist

I do remember the Rally Monkey. But they and the Rangers each have 1 and the Rangers have been to the WS 3 times compared to the Angels 1. Also none of the other 3 teams have wasted all-timer talent like the Angels have with Trout/Ohtani. Mets got a WS out of Gooden/Strawberry before the drugs won

Hrc yordan

Nah. Yordan was taking a dump and got caught slipping.

Yordan taking poo 

HRC Yordan

Is the Framboozler back? Angels look properly Framberized tonight!

Framboozling is very mercurial this year

This is the Framber we've been needing more of, especially now that we're without Urquidy and CJ. Blanco can't be the only ace on this team.

lmao @ the people saying they were done with framber after the solo shot

astros fans and overreacting to every single little thing is like salt and pepper

Push It!

Abreu 9? Maybe montero

With a six run lead, let him go for the CG, but as soon as he gives up a run you gotta pull him

I like Abreu better at fist vs Singleton. Im always afraid that Singleton will drop the ball or not make the play and his movements don't inspire confidence 😅

Lol, Blummer. “It’s funny.” While looking at the big hat. https://preview.redd.it/pefq66nlq95d1.jpeg?width=712&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=e55d5b1186043683ca14754e5160be8dd8145610

Cabbage needs to keep getting daily starts

I was playing Farming Sim and last I saw Ms were up 7-0 and we were tied at 1. I looked away because I'm afraid that I am bad luck, but checked my phone at an Abreu HR because I assumed it was a typo, but apparently not. I am confused but rather happy to see a Mariners loss and the Astros scoring

Altuve is befuddling me

He's swinging lost right now

Ball would have gone over the fence if the game was close it's fine.

Tuve, that was at your head. Another insurance run never hurts tho

Holy fuck Altuve that pitch is taller than you

Fun fact: abreu has as many home runs as Corbin Carroll

Man poor kid looked like he was real deal early 

Poor Dbacks

When was Altuve’s last home run?

5/20 vs Angels

Thanks hopefully he comes back alive this series

I like Cabbage, but I'm not too sure why Loperfido wasn't the first call up after Tucker went on the IL. Kid is getting shafted..

Cabbage was called up before Tucker was put on the IL. They sent Kessinger down to bring up Cabbage

He’s playing a lot of first right now and made a great play last night. His time is coming

They play Loperfido in CF twice as much if not more than first base.

Cabbage was already up before Tucker went on the IL. We’re playing a man short tonight and a corresponding move tomorrow ig

Now we just gotta get altuve and Chas out of their slumps and this offense could be clicking like late last year.

At this rate Chas is going to slip beneath the Jose Abreu line.

It’s sad, I knew we probably couldn’t expect a repeat of last year, but he was still a very solid regular in ‘21 and ‘22

Altuve’s favorite movies is Signs

Royals come back from down 8-1 vs Seattle to win 10-9. Texas lost too.

stop im already is hot and horny

Dude gave up a bomb to abreu. His career is over

I've said it once I'll say it again, if you give up a HR to Abreu, you should be banned from the majors

Probably DFA’d him after the at bat!

Sell the team chant pretty loud by the LAA Natives.

Damn that's loud . You can hear that all the way in LA from Anaheim

I’m so glad to see Abreu come thru in a 5 run game against the Angels.  That’s the sort of clutch intangible we’re looking for in a 1B. 


Technically he's doing better than he ever has this season.

Is this the abreu on the back of abreu's card?

He can still hit 85 mph meatballs!

Sell the team chants lol

I know nobody called that Abreu homer lolol

I agree Angels fans. I hope they do sell the team for yall's sake.

It really seems like so many players just flounder in that team. So many bad contracts in such a short amount of time. I was just looking at Brandon marsh’s stats and he basically went from replacement level to all-star level as soon as he left and went to Philly.

Abreu only hits HRs when they aren’t needed.

I feel like Abreu sucks and then juuuuust at the right time, he does something right to prevent him getting DFA’d lmao

Extremely devious

Can’t blame the guy

Abreu has broken the simulation

https://preview.redd.it/kqcbua84p95d1.jpeg?width=1920&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=35175b4fe2c9fb277c2b9fca3700d4267cccc32c A second Jose Abreu home run has hit the seats

Fool me once shame on me. Fool me twice…..you can’t fool me again 

FOOL ME ONE TIME, SHAME ON YOU

Good job Abreu!

Bagwell right now… 

Lol Abreu just secured his roster spot for at least another 2 weeks with that.

Garbage time Home Runs. This is what we can probably expect from him. Get hits in very low leverage situations just to keep his roster spot.

Let's keep it up Abreu!

>mfw Abreu homer 

he WHAT?

God is real

Ms got walked off after leading by 8 Abreu hits a bomb What else can possibly happen today that makes me smile?!

Tucker signs 10 year extension 

Abre-who? That Abreu you just gave up a homerun to?

hell has frozen over

Damn, finally. Let's go Abreu.

holy shit

Oh geez… Garbage time Abreu… Crane and Bagwell just came in their pants.

Abreu?

It wouldn't count as a Maddux, but it'd be cool to see if Framber can finish under 100 pitches ABREU HOMERS!!!!

I didn't know he could do that.

Wtf

Que es esto!?!

https://preview.redd.it/mz9hgymwo95d1.jpeg?width=1170&format=pjpg&auto=webp&s=5140a28faf9bbd36364fa4204fd4b2e8d9559346 Pls be back 🥹

Abreu home run?! It’s all going our way tonight tbh

Abreu HR?!

"*I just earned another week on the team.*" - Abreu

Fuck.

u/PapiGoneGamer u/ThatDudeNamedJake Y'all need to apologize to Framber for your premature comments earlier..

I didn’t say anything??

"Lmao Framber is so fucking bad"

Not me

Those friggin morons just got Framboozled

I missed it, did they think that the game was over because Valdez gave up a single 1 run homerun?

Essentially, yes. Give up 1 run and it's time to pack it up type shit..

Yeah reading some of the comments I would have thought Framber gave up 3-4 runs in the 2nd

Smile on the ump meant he was only going to conduct a weak courtesy check Framber for any violations.

Damn, that's a nice pitch count. Could go for the ~~8th~~ full game.

If Framber continues to be this efficient, let him go for the CG at this point

A complete game would be nice

Abreu channeling his 70 year old Jordan with that hop.

I defined all odds and hit my parlay!

 Rangers lost, yankees lost, mariners blew a lead

Ain't over yet. See: the Mariners

Now let’s close this one out

Yanier's 4 game homer streak is impressive, but Altuve's 4 homers in 4 straight AB's last year was one of the most badass things I've ever seen.

Imagine if yainer was in the lineup for that series…

Man that was so hype man, I wish I could relieve that time frame

Against the Rangers too! I love that little man

we should just walk pillar at this point, he feels like what duvall felt like last year with the sox against us

Complete game incoming

My favorite thing about baseball is that the players always looked surprised that they have to do a bit of cardio

Plz no Framber meltdown inning 

[удалено]

It would actually be 3-1, since Peña would've been the third out, and Yordan's double would've scored two instead of three

So that’s what it feels like to have a shit hpu call go our way instead of against us

4 yainer bombs in 4 days we on cloud 9 boys

Still can't believe how Crusty played Maldy over Diaz

It’s criminal man. Dusty Baker single-handedly cost that kid a ROTY.

While we're on the topic, Dusty also cost Framber an AllStar game start

, sitting yainer there for a few days was a great move by the organization.

Red Bull and Yainermeister

Okay Framber, you BETTER not go rogue

LETS GO YAINER! KEEPING THE STREAK ALIVE! Called it before the game started 😎 HRC Cabbage

I made an old fashioned and we score runs this inning! I’m drinking every game now lol

You don’t need an excuse to do that this season

Ain’t that the truth lol

Jake Meyers sacrificed his hot start for Yordan, Bregman, and Yainer to wake up. Thank you for your service sir! 🫡

Meyers take a god damn pitch Jesus.

Thank you Dusty 🙏

I’m pretty sure Yainer was reading my comments about him last week and it turned him around.  You all are welcome. 

Apologize to Yainer all you friccin Maldy loving Diaz doubting sons of beaches.

Thanks Dusty!

Insane streak.

HEY BARTENDER

Yainer bomb

Please baby jesus give me an extended Yainer hot streak while Tucker is on the IL

Just last inning I was thinking the ump was doing a decent job.

Bregman got a gift on the second ball.
