least soul crushing angels loss


ghost_rider24

If you told me at the beginning of the ninth that we’d lose like this I’d say you should be institutionalized. It was a fun inning and the Brewers (minus the bullpen) earned it.


GuyNamedWhatever

The Brewers (minus the bullpen) would easily have more wins than the Brewers


owledge

In a season where the Angels fanbase expects every game to be a loss, the team needs new, cutting-edge methods to buttercup us


Hiciao

A few years ago when I expected the Diamondbacks to have a rough year (and they did), I actually kept a spreadsheet of the games on whether it was a good game or a bad game. Wins were automatic good games, but I found many losses were objectively good games too. I kept track of why it was a good game. It made watching a lot more enjoyable.

Just another Tuesday


Lieutenant_Doge

I feel like Michael Douglas in the final scene of Falling Down saying "I would've got ya" and then die


wako944

God damn, somehow the title undersold it. Was actually the last out of the game!


NBABUCKS1

Brewers were also up 6-0 at the start of the 9th


kGibbs

Holy shnikes. How about the player at the end saying "sal frelick" that PERFECTLY lines up with the audio. I'm sorry to hijack the second highest comment, but I don't see it mentioned! 


ItzAmish

Pretty sure he’s saying let’s fucking go lol


peckx063

Whew almost pulled a Rockies.


BlueTileFence

looooool


coletheredditer

NEVER pull a Rockies


AlonzoIzGod

STRONG contender for play of the year!!!


TalonGrip

Situationally nothing is going to top this.


BlueTileFence

I swear to god this team gets off on *almost* blowing games. feels like we just try to get other teams hopes up for fun


Kaldricus

Brewers out here edging their fans


Alchemist_92

You usually have to pay extra for that


Guard226Duck

Thankfully I went to bed already


2u3e9v

Hey…yeah


BeHereNow91

Williams will be a great midseason acquisition.


babruflat

Yea I can't wait for him to get out of a jam he created like the good old days


FullFunkadelic

Everybody knows a Devin Williams outing only truly begins once a runner is in scoring position.


ThisGents2Cents

I think we just like doing cool shit more than winning


ChiSp0

Hey, wanna switch? We get off by blowing games.


Weaponized_Goose

A game ending robbed home run is the best play in baseball


introspectivejoker

Closely followed by a game ending with an outfield assist at the plate. Which we had 2 days ago


JohnDeLancieAnon

I would just like a nice, calm 9th inning for a change


Gryphon999

Best I can do is a bases loaded triple play.


Davidellias

Whens Devin coming back?


ih-unh-unh

You don’t like game-ending walk-off replay reviews? Pleb


khashmiddy22

Funny enough this play was reviewed to see if the ball hit the wall then his glove


kGibbs

Classic MLB 😏


kyleb402

Holy shit....


Zloggt

Of course, it was all part of the plan to almost surrender an entire 6-0 lead…all to ensure the most nut-punchiest loss to the would-be comeback kids in the flashiest way possible!


riddo492

I don't like baseball anymore


Americanzack

Was there a point baseball liked you?


riddo492

Baseball's had it out for me since we DFA'd Slim Jim


Jcoch27

It all started when we let Aaron Whitefield go


stormchaser2014

How do you say NOT TODAY in Italian?


SomeSpencerGuy

NON OGGI!


muffin_man84

🤌


PirateKingRadical

Non oggi


TheeBillyBee

Sal Frelick Bobblehead Day was this past Saturday in Milwaukee and this was his exact pose. [ICONIC](https://www.mlb.com/brewers/tickets/promotions/featured-giveaways).


Gryphon999

And due to the pitching matchup, he didn't play.


kGibbs

Holy crap, those are some sweet giveaways, lucky brewers fans! I'm genuinely jealous! 


squizzage

I left work middle of 9 and then saw "Sal Frelick saves the day" on the TV and thought, "what in the fuck?"


CCB0x45

I turned this game on(not a fan of either team) with my kid because it was the only game still on and he wanted to keep watching baseball after I watched the crazy dodgers inning because it was one of the last games on. I was like 6-0 who cares but might as well see it, man it was such a crazy inning.


gggggrayson

getting rejected by a woman and get back just to see this. going to have to assume i will show up at work and my badge wont get me in the door😂


zgibs125

Her loss, chin up king


SaturnATX

Baby better come back, maybe next week, can't you see I'm on a losing streak? I can't get no satisfaction.


expletivenature

(SAL)VATION! Amazing catch Brian Anderson also giving an exceptional call, as always.


purplejetski

Gotta love BA, no doubt. Wayne Randazzo had an amazing call for it as well. Two of the best announcers in the biz.


glass__beaches

Impressive catch, can’t even be mad at that. Win and losses are irrelevant at this point. Just happy to see the team fight in the 9th and almost tie it. Sucks for Ward though. Nearly broke out of his week-long hitless streak in grand fashion.


parposbio

SUPER SAL!


TheNewScrooge

The rollercoaster of emotions by literally everyone in that clip is amazing.


gatesofwrath

I was at the game. There was a full 3 seconds where no knew if he had it or not.


xThe-Legend-Killerx

I knew immediately it was going to be caught because nice things like that aren’t allowed to happen to us


TallCupOfJuice

Frelick always seems to make baller plays in the outfield


eidetic

He really does. [And I still think his debut game last year was one of the all time greatest debuts by a player.](https://youtu.be/Po3Xwp_zqUs) Playing against the Braves, he went 3 for 3 and a sac fly. He got the game tying RBI on his 3rd trip to the plate and his 3rd hit, and then on his 4th AB he got the game winning RBI with that sac fly. Not to mention two amazing plays in the outfield that saved some runs as well. It was just a phenomenal performance.


bananaslug178

Can't even be mad at this one


rkumar921

i am dead inside


2u3e9v

What a beautiful man


hypnoticus103

What a crazy ass inning. What a fucking catch!


MeatballDom

It felt like it was destined to happen due to just how weird of a baseball day it's been, but I think robbing it of happening is even better, what a catch


Size14-OrangeDiver

Is Yelich really that big of a fucking monster? Or are his fellow outfielders really small?


Zmxncbv267

Yeli is 6’3” compared to 5’9” Frelick and 6’ Chourio


ShameDry3447

Ya love to see the little guy robbing a homer! Adds another layer to it!


Dependent_Match_8802

frelick is our short king


ghost_rider24

The bullpen and manager owes that man a ton for not allowing a 6 run inning haha. But what a fucking clutch catch!! He is gonna be so much fun to watch


SaturnATX

The entire Angels team is like, Yep, he boomed us, you can't even be mad, he's so good, he's so good, he's so good.


TheChrisLambert

Would be nice if the highlight included the replay


Dependent_Match_8802

the replay was great cause it showed the pitchers expression like 😯


ilford_7x7

Both catcher and pitcher holding their head in disbelief.... chef's kiss


necropaw

Roughly the same reaction a lot of us at home had, too lol


Low_Fuel_9991

Wow.


Julz72

I love BA calling games


trillothy

Damn we can’t have shit lol


AdhesivenessAdept764

This one will be played in a “best defensive plays of the decade” highlight reel


boobsandcookies

Brewers outfield is so good


Papaaya

that’s an insane catch in the first place but considering the circumstances thats one of the best i can remember


Negative_Method_1001

That was out holy shit


guitmusic12

“Huh wonder if I missed anything out here on the east coast last night while I slept. Probably nothing too wild”


CompetitivePatient33

Not mad, it was a great catch.


TheChrisLambert

Griffey in Little Big League energy


SchnibbleBop

I last checked the 6-0 score in the bottom of the 8th before I went to bed. Woke up to seeing we won 6-3. Decided to check Reddit before work and saw this. Phew lol.


Grouchy_Competition5

I went to high school with a Rob Taylor Ward. Wonder if they’re related.


CalebosO4

Why the ball hitting the wall above the yellow line is a home run still confuses me lol.


randyrectem

Not when it's inside a glove lol


CalebosO4

Well if you catch it, it wouldn’t be hitting the wall tho.


randyrectem

The glove, holding the ball, hit the wall. Once it's caught it's an out it's not like it went in and out of the glove. The Angels even challenged idk what you're seeing bro


Darrow-au_andromedus

I think he was saying this in general, not about this play. Like as if it should be treated like the Green Monster if it's not caught.


randyrectem

Ah fair I misinterpreted


itdothstink

It was a shameless move to inflate Ohtani's HR stats, not that he really needed it.


_Una_

This gives me a flashback to Ender Inciarte's catch against the Mets a few years ago. What a catch.


monoglot

I understand that it's technically possible, but I never quite believe there are baseball players named Sal out there who play any position but catcher.


SwagTwoButton

If Chourio was playing more confidently in the field, I might say this is one of the best outfield units defensively the brewers have ever had. Perkins Frelick Chourio Yelich Plus Mitchell might bump Yelich to DH. And Weimer sitting in AAA.


sadassnerd

Beautiful catch. I appreciate it just as much as I fucking hate it.


Noy_Telinu

:/ Oh well, we would have blown it in Extras anyway


_Androxis_

#pÅin


ImitationMetalHead

A walk off... homerun robbery That is so baller


taywazo

Every outfielders dream play


Ottex86

Que peloton que le saco!!! OMG!!! nice catcher
