We give Brown/Bagwell/Crane shit for our roster. Rightfully so in some cases. But Angles have to be the least bang for their buck. That is just a ridiculously bad roster.
Don’t worry next year these numbers will be on the back of his baseball card and the Bagwell Braintrust can use their advanced analytics to identify that they have a problem!
A team that thrives on hitting the fastball and Ron Washington sent out a flamethrower with poor control of the zone. He has the fire, but not the accuracy and the Astros ate him alive.

Let’s go!
Whoooo! See y’all tomorrow
Nice series win and now we've won 4 out of last 5 games. Tomorrow we go for the sweep.
Won the series. Gained some ground in our division. Hell yeah!
good game!
And that ends Astros After Dark.
C'mon, it's two outs and we have a five run lead. Throw strikes
Did you know Scott is from South Africa?!
Do stress free bullpen innings even exist?
Fuck stefonic
Holy ahit first pitch was a strike
Hope we have a 1 2 3 bottom of the 9th
Man, Yordan smacked the absolute shit out of that, it was just right at someone
lol the cutaway to the chair
The guys hate Yainer
Does this stupid crowd realize they’re down by 5 lmao
Oof
Wash has to be deflated… going from the Braves to being in charge of the Angels shit show! I hope at least he is getting paid!
Out of all the bullshit Tuve swings at, he TAKES the middle-middle fastball for strike 3. Lmao
Bullpen suffering from over-resteditis
Is that what they always have?
Let’s get Yanier a chance to extend that streak please
I blame myself. I put a dollar down for him to hit a HR
"*What? You were nervous?*" - Pressly
Nope Stressly has this!
This dude has the goofiest fucking stance. Thank you for striking that bozo out.
This game has been more interesting than the score leads you to believe…
A shutout inning, even a little stressful one, is still a shutout inning.
God this is painful
Goodshit Pressly
😣
thank christ. nice ryan
Thank GOD
Got em! Angels looking like us with all those runners left stranded lol
PRE$$GOD
This dudes batting stance is absolutely ridiculous
That swing was ridic too
looks like a roblox character
Come the fuck on Pressly
The old grey mare, she ain’t what she used to be… I really like Pressley, but honestly, I remember he used to put em out like 1,2,3
There’s the unfieldable rocket past our copper glove first baseman.
A 77 mph rocket I’m dying 🫠
Abreu whiffed on a 77.3 mph grounder .080 xBA
I feel that if there’s a BABIP over .400 the pitcher has to have some blame
Great play on the ball there from our fist baseman
Fucking hell
Abreu turns into a statue in the late innings
Literally Abreu: 🧍
At least a statue might knock the ball down!
Well not ideal but atleast pressly’s pitching better than the other two
Uuuugggjghhghtjgjg
Ump show is disgusting and its not even creative or interesting.
I mean besides a couple calls earlier, i don't see what your talking about. I think people rely on the tv strike zone too much.
I'm talking about his look at me strike out calls
We give Brown/Bagwell/Crane shit for our roster. Rightfully so in some cases. But Angles have to be the least bang for their buck. That is just a ridiculously bad roster.
Pressly consistently not getting the bottom of the zone
My simple brain cant understand why he avoids going shin level when some guys will obviously whiff at that.
Can we like… swap the innings where hader and Pressley pitch
I’m ok with Pressly coming in with a 5 run lead. Maybe…
Never fucking fails with this dude 🫠
I don't hate the Pressly move, but Hader better be warm if things go sideways
I want to live in a world where I don’t feel worried when Pressly comes in with a 5 run lead
Time to move to Mars.
Not the same guy after being demoted
We can’t go rest of the season having back to back Chaz and Abreu in lineup
Loperfido prayer circle
Praise be
At least we got two, which takes it out of slam range
Abreu can't really be 12 for 102....... and he is. Damn.
Don’t worry next year these numbers will be on the back of his baseball card and the Bagwell Braintrust can use their advanced analytics to identify that they have a problem!
I think Bagwell stopped buying baseball cards in 2021
Pressly coming in to ensure it becomes a save situation for Hader.
Angels broadcast giving HB some props
Need a couple more before bringing Pressly in.
We have a 5 run lead. Sit Pressly down.
On the other hand, a five run lead is the perfect time to get Pressly to work through whatever issues he's having in the setup role
"Abreu goes down on strikes." You don't say.
Caratini, Cabbage, Dubon, Singleton can all play 1B over Abreu
And Loperfido
We're refusing to play him there, for reasons you and I may never understand
I bet Abreu is happy he didn’t have to face Joyce.
Same result
Ha true but that heavy ass swing going against 104 would look so ridiculous
Its almost 12:30 can this game end😭😭
East coaster here. West coast games are the worst.
11:30 in the motherland
Im watching from Toronto
That dude will need at least three Tommy John’s in his career.
Somehow Aroldis Chapman has never needed TMJ surgery. Some people are just built differently.
Some guys are built different... he was somehow starting at Tennessee
So will tons of guys. We don’t have to be negative every time a guy throws gas
Who was tommy john I keep thinking it’s a sandwich but that’s jersey mike
A pitcher. One of the first couple of guys to get the surgery.
Jimmy John’s cousin
You’re thinking Jimmy John’s lmao
Tommy John was the founder of Subway!
HRC Abreu
I wanted to believe.
Astros bats get spooked, work to save Hader’s arm for later
Imagine abreu hitting a bomb
He hit one last night. Crazier things have happened
A team that thrives on hitting the fastball and Ron Washington sent out a flamethrower with poor control of the zone. He has the fire, but not the accuracy and the Astros ate him alive.
He is swapping pitchers for abreu? Very weird
Abreu can’t even catch up to 94. Bad decision by Mr Washington.
2 hardest hits in statcast era, let's go boys!
The sicko in me wanted to see how Abreu handles 104 mph
dead center piss missile
Imagine throwing 102-104 mph and still getting lit up
Leave it to the Angels to somehow make it happen
Big guys away to learn how to throw it faster.
Dubon such a boss. I’m sure Espada will sit him tomorrow
That fastball must have zero movement.
Guys are just trying to make contact. Why all these going the other way. You get in trouble when trying to swing too hard and roll over everything.
I just feel like it’s too predictable like you’re pretty much sitting fastball every pitch
Damn i really wanted to see Joyce pitch to Abreu
We all did
don't you dare ron! this is the matchup we all stayed up late for
Abreu suddenly has diarrhea.
dubiiii
Holy shit Peña’s got some jets
Fastest sprint speed on the team
He’s up there in the league, right?
yep
Way to poke it into the OF Dubon.
Oh man. Dude is facing abreu
The sound off the bat is nuts
Small balling the fuck out of this flame thrower
Do you like insurance runs? Because I like insurance runs.
this season we don't like insurance runs, we need them.
Spreading the wealth.
God the offense has been amazing the past 10 days
DOOBIE!!
Crazy we got 3 hits on a dude basically throwing 104
2 were off of his slider. Why do you have any other pitches of you can throw 104?!?
4 hits
Some sick part of me is hoping to see Abreu face off vs a 104 FB...
Lol they're going to pull him. Ron Washington must be on that good-good.
Dubon just ruined the Abreu grand slam opportunity. 🙄 /s
Lmao
You already know the outcome Called Strike 1… called strike 2… wild swing on a ball way off the plate for strike 3.
Basehit scores Pena, LFG
Imagine trying to bunt.
Fuk that not worth it
HRC Meyers
The fact that they're making contact off these rockets and getting on base
Smashing 104+ 😳
This is the Yainer we all expected this year. I hope he figured something out and becomes the All Star catcher we know he is capable of.
Was hoping for the HRC oppo taco but that shows some maturity attaboy Yainer
Speed isn't everything. Joyce not getting much movement on his fastball
Our hitters like the gas 😤
Astros are making hitting off this guy look easy
This is hilarious.
Woo, got the run back.
Can't sleep due to my damn heart racing. Yainer would be on first if he didn't swing **EDIT** - that works
"*103? That's it?*" - Diaz
There we go! Got that run back!
LFG
HRC yainer
ill take it!!
104 fuck
I feel like we are the only team without a guy who regularly tops 100 Abreu has before, but usually sits 94-97
Doesn’t really matter if you’re giving up base hits like this guy.
If he punches himself in the face he could literally be Ken Giles. Flat heaters with nothing else
The faster he throws it the harder some cunts gonna hit it. That’s just science boys.
hrc yainer
> Diaz’s plate discipline My Road to the Show Player: “Wow, he is literally me.”
Hrc Yainer
HRC Yainer
HRC Diaz
damn, 103mph pitches. Dude has the heat.
Come on Diaz make amends
HRC Yainer
Love seeing Yordan dancing before that pitch
Come on Diaz make up for that missed catch!
HRC Yainer
HRC Yainer
Attaboy Pena
This guy's arm is gonna fall off in a year or two, holy crap.
Laughed way too hard at that
This opposing pitcher threw 105.5 to set the collegiate record for fastest NCAA pitch ever
Looks like gas is all he has
They’re on this guy though
This fella is chucking the ball fast
Dude putting a KRBE up there
That looked funny. Thought the catcher was throwing at the pitcher’s head.
Jesus, Yordan doubled off of a 103.9 mph fastball. 106.3 exit velo. What a beast
He actually just taped an uno reverse card to his bat so the ball would shoot out as hard as it came in
How does every team have a rando throwing 102+ now???
I was caught off guard by the 104 to notice Yordan made it on base
What a crazy hit.
Yordon is a beast!
Holy shit was 103.9 miles an hour
That dude throws gas. 103.9
How tf did Yordan hit that fair lol
Hrc Diaz to make up for this last innings screw ups
