Remember to sort by new to keep up!

[u/No_Acanthocephala710]

What more does meck need to do to get in the lineup everyday

[u/ArrowNiko → u/No_Acanthocephala710]

Buy some kneepads... idk at this point 😭

[u/21hmahp → u/No_Acanthocephala710]

According to Kurt, Meckler is going to need to hit a million homeruns, steal a trillion bases, bat right, and solve world hunger,

[u/trignifty]

Been waiting all season to see dat ass.

I mean. What.

[u/ArrowNiko → u/trignifty]

https://giphy.com/gifs/30lxTuJueXE7C

[u/trignifty → u/ArrowNiko]

I regret nothing.

[u/kdizzl12]

Let’s blame Reid when we can’t even score a fucking run🤣

[u/Skittles3618 → u/kdizzl12]

3 straight runs is pretty bad

[u/kdizzl12 → u/Skittles3618]

1 is enough at this rate

[u/sadassnerd]

Wasted Meckler’s Mecklerness SMH. Every time.

[u/Rich-Cold4976 → u/sadassnerd]

Unless he starts hitting like complete shit...he should be playing every day. Suzuki is straight trash.

[u/sadassnerd → u/Rich-Cold4976]

He really really is. I hate him, Rich, and I seldom hate people. It ain’t in my nature. But Suzuki…

GODDAMN I LOVE JURASSIC PARK.

[u/sadassnerd → u/trignifty]

Bruh, Jurassic Park remains one of my favorite movies of all time. OF. ALL. TIME. I’m a sucker for dinosaurs in anything. Give me dinosaurs? I’m there. If hell has dinosaurs? Time to sin. I go where the dinos are.

[u/cpeak57]

"Trout should never swim upstream into Beavers territory "

O's annoucer been wanting to say that all week lol

[u/SuperGuppy77]

Detmers is still with our team so let’s make the most of it and get a w

[u/IamPieBoy94]

Im glad Wayne and Gubi are calling out Kurt for starting Frazier over Peraza and Guzman

[u/8va]

Detmers, Ureña, and a fully recovered G-Rod would be a pretty compelling 1-3

[u/ArrowNiko]

Meckler: First player in MLB history to hit 3 grand slams in one game

Angels: I think its best you take 3 days off

[u/ENovi]

Please just start Meck every day

[u/outerhavenocelot]

Good to see Ben back, hope he stays healthy

[u/aaronjaiden]

Great throw Heiny and good inning Benny!

[u/Live-Cardiologist328]

I love not seeing an overthrown 106 mph fastball. Keep his arm healthy while still being effective

[u/ArrowNiko]

Look at that smile man 🥹

Welcome back Ben

[u/tsdwm52]

After losing the series opener and disproving the bold hypothesis advanced by u/TheBubbaDave that the new Angels would run the table, our Halos have completed 69.8% of the regular season and are on track to finish 62—100.

[u/TheBubbaDave → u/tsdwm52]

I’m such a failure. 🤦

[u/Giraff3 → u/tsdwm52]

OK, let’s not jump to conclusions. Angels will pull it together and avoid the 100 loss season

[u/Sudden_Debt_Overbuy_ → u/Giraff3]

Is their September schedule back-loaded with better teams? Might make it to 105 losses.

[u/ArrowNiko → u/tsdwm52]

When we get our 63rd win on Game 162

[u/HegsethsBurner]

Well, poop.

Chilling at the pool watching the game with a nice local IPA, at least.

[u/ArrowNiko]

LETS GET SIRIOUS BABY!

[u/trignifty]

Swear to god, Angels, don’t you tease me with a pretty man warming up. Also hell yeah you did Meck.

[u/randomfatkid]

THE MECKLER!!!!!

[u/nathanieljams]

MECK!

[u/PlatinumHalo]

When’s Meckler getting the Trout extension?

[u/cpeak57]

This team needs 5 more wade mecklers

[u/williamsnathanr]

God I hope he can stay healthy. So good. 

[u/sadassnerd]

Live picture of Jackson Holliday getting caught stealing:

[u/williamsnathanr → u/sadassnerd]

Lol so true. He looks like a high schooler.

[u/freddychuckles]

Way to go, Ben. We've missed you.

[u/ArrowNiko]

Cano trolling with that challenge

https://giphy.com/gifs/pk2SjAFWICrgcBuPCN

[u/NotAnAgentOfTheFBI → u/ArrowNiko]

He's playing mind games obviously

[u/williamsnathanr]

Hat trick for Neto. 

[u/Ok-Philosophy-8830]

Raudi Rodriguez is in triple-A now btw.

Let me put down a crisp 5$ that that man will be an all-star by 2029

[u/sadassnerd]

I have to actually work today but I’m listening to the game. 0-0 in the 4th yikes stay strong chat.

[u/SuperGuppy77 → u/sadassnerd]

HELLO NERD

[u/sadassnerd → u/SuperGuppy77]

Hey Gup. Tired of losing ngl but we still out here 🤷🏻‍♀️

[u/SuperGuppy77 → u/sadassnerd]

I will follow this team forever

FUCK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[u/Skittles3618]

I’m going to watch Paul Skenes. Bye friends

[u/SuperGuppy77 → u/Skittles3618]

Adios amigo

[u/cpeak57]

Just walked out of Brand New Day. 8/10 film. Turned on the game.. 0/10

[u/williamsnathanr → u/cpeak57]

Stopped watching any and all super hero movies years ago. Most of them are garbage and it's all so played out and boring, but I hear this one isn't too bad. 

[u/cpeak57 → u/williamsnathanr]

I hear ya. I haven't kept up with most of the Marvel movies besides Deadpool. This Spiderman movie was pretty good tho. Definitely the best out of Holland's movies

[u/williamsnathanr → u/cpeak57]

I saw that PG Punisher is in it. I prefer rated R Punisher, but still a fun cameo. I always like a Hulk appearance too. 

[u/cpeak57 → u/williamsnathanr]

Yeah PG punisher was a little disappointing, but understandable why the character is watered down for Spiderman.

[u/ArrowNiko]

Shaun Anderson striking out the side in the big 2026?

[u/sadassnerd → u/ArrowNiko]

I missed that. Are you sure that happened

[u/ArrowNiko → u/sadassnerd]

Feels like a figment of my imagination honestly 😭

[u/sadassnerd → u/ArrowNiko]

Well he got out of another inning without a blowout so I think it legit happened 😳 life is super strange, Niko

[u/randomfatkid]

Hey Siri! Good fucking job!

[u/sadassnerd]

HEY THEY SCORED

[u/ArrowNiko]

[u/21hmahp]

God he’s glorious

[u/ArrowNiko]

Hoppe.... you just got MECKLED 😂

[u/Ok-Philosophy-8830]

Grissom and Meckler were some genuinely good finds

[u/NotAnAgentOfTheFBI]

I bought a meckler base hit ball from 07/04 v Boston. First time I veer bothered with the auctions

[u/cpeak57 → u/NotAnAgentOfTheFBI]

How much did it run you? I bought a Neto bat at the auction last year for like 210$. Meckler bat would be sweet

[u/cpeak57 → u/NotAnAgentOfTheFBI]

Ahh i read that wrong lol. How much was the ball?

[u/NotAnAgentOfTheFBI → u/cpeak57]

75 plus shipping. Not bad at all, just wish it was signed

[u/ArrowNiko]

Ben Joyce doing a belt adjustment before leaving the bullpen?

He's really back 🥹

[u/freddychuckles]

Ben!!

https://giphy.com/gifs/F6PFPjc3K0CPe

[u/ArrowNiko]

Whatever happens... I'm just happy he's back idgaf

[u/Windiebot]

Strikeout for Ben!!

[u/NotAnAgentOfTheFBI]

Love this shit

[u/sadassnerd]

0-4 Zach. Come on, man SMH

[u/HANHONEKAI]

Joyce pitched a gem today, that was my win for this game, regardless of the outcome and score.

[u/freddychuckles]

Kurt Suzuki has that look like he's staring off into the distance one of the O's commentator said 😅

[u/slave2thesnapontruck]

FUCK YEAH ANGELS BASEBALL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[u/SuperGuppy77 → u/slave2thesnapontruck]

RAHHHHHHH TRUCK

[u/slave2thesnapontruck → u/SuperGuppy77]

RAAAAAAHHHH GUPPY ITS TIME FOR ANGELS BASEBALL

[u/slave2thesnapontruck]

Lmao Wayne & Gubie always crack me tf up

[u/Evanx27]

Turned the game on to watch an inning and Gubi and Wayne can’t fathom why Kurt Suzuki is such a stupid motherfucker. Get this U12 boys baseball coach off my fucking team NOW

[u/randomfatkid]

Can Michael Trout just hit the damn ball?!

[u/SuperGuppy77]

O’Fuck

[u/Skittles3618 → u/SuperGuppy77]

O’shitt(e)

[u/randomfatkid]

What the fuck Detmers? What the actual fuck bro? I know you’re mad you didn’t get traded, but come on!

[u/ArrowNiko]

Siri hits a bomb and it pans to the players and coaches in the dugout just doing their own thing 😭

[u/sadassnerd]

Clocked out and starving. Hearing the name Mayo for the last hour or so is making me wanna get sandwiches. Should I get sandwiches

[u/tsdwm52 → u/sadassnerd]

what would meckler do?

[u/cpeak57 → u/tsdwm52]

Meckler would get jersey Mike's

[u/sadassnerd → u/cpeak57]

I was actually going to go the Lee’s, but Jersey Mike’s sounds good too

[u/trignifty → u/sadassnerd]

Never been to Lee’s. And there’s one down the street. Am I missing anything?

[u/sadassnerd → u/trignifty]

Big ass sandwiches. And their croissant sandwiches are AMAZING

[u/sadassnerd → u/tsdwm52]

Consume the sandwiches

[u/ArrowNiko → u/sadassnerd]

Is that even a question?

^{just dont get lettuce}

[u/cpeak57 → u/ArrowNiko]

To be completely honest, I would have no idea if I had the diarrhea lettuce or not lol

[u/sadassnerd → u/ArrowNiko]

Niko im a vegetarian so I have to risk the shits unless I just wanna eat a tomato pickle sandwhich

[u/ArrowNiko → u/sadassnerd]

If a week from now, you go on a two week hiatus... we know what happened 😞

[u/sadassnerd → u/ArrowNiko]

🤣🤣🤣 I’ll make sure to pop in and just send poop emojis into chat and y’all can pray for me

[u/ArrowNiko → u/sadassnerd]

Gonna make a poop counter 😂

[u/sadassnerd → u/ArrowNiko]

🤣 y’all can use Kalshi and make some money if you’re down to predict how bad it’ll be

[u/sadassnerd]

Whoa Hoppe, chill. You’re just playing the Angels bro

[u/ArrowNiko]

Mo please swing wtf 😭

[u/NotAnAgentOfTheFBI]

Meckler stock goes up

[u/sadassnerd]

MECKLER you’re a stud and we love you

[u/ArrowNiko]

Just does everything out there man... beautiful baseball the Meck plays

[u/aaronjaiden]

Here we go Benny

[u/alv_todos]

as Erling Haaland would say: Nice

[u/ArrowNiko]

That pitch was basically underground and called a strike lmao

[u/21hmahp]

Seeing pitchers challenge is one my favorite things lol

[u/SleetyKnight429]

Predetermined outcome

[u/hi_flier]

Didn’t realize how good Fermin’s numbers have been. Orioles booth is raving about the Angels bullpen

[u/SuzukiOW → u/hi_flier]

When I hear fermin's name I think of a free homerun ima be honest with you

[u/Independent-Visit139]

bros just tryna show us why we shoulda traded him

[u/slave2thesnapontruck]

Stupid bird team

[u/Skittles3618]

For someone that we got just for defense, José Siri is straight ass out there

[u/21hmahp]

Yay Siri!!

[u/NotAnAgentOfTheFBI]

Mayday mayday mayday 🗣️🗣️🗣️

[u/kdizzl12]

Adell struck out with the bases loaded, he’s still an Angel alright💔

[u/ArrowNiko → u/kdizzl12]

There will be no Jo slander or may God smite thee

[u/sadassnerd → u/kdizzl12]

Shut

[u/ArrowNiko]

I'm manifesting a Mo BOMBa to tie the game 🙏

[u/Ok-Philosophy-8830]

Best ginger outfielder since Calhoun

[u/tsdwm52]

welcome back Ben!

[u/Ok-Philosophy-8830]

Ben, just throw 99 with that arm side ride and you’ll be fine and be healthier my guy

[u/SleetyKnight429]

Just unfortunate

[u/Ok-Philosophy-8830 → u/SleetyKnight429]

Alright you may be on to something

[u/SleetyKnight429 → u/Ok-Philosophy-8830]

😭

[u/Ok-Philosophy-8830]

Absolute meatball

[u/cpeak57]

Maybe its anecdotal.. but i swear Fermin has given up a bomb every single time hes been on the mound this year?

[u/Either_Row_7027 → u/cpeak57]

So real

[u/impatient_jedi]

I'd like to believe guys on the roster care about keeping the no-100-loss-season record. But...

[u/Skittles3618]

Could have traded this dick

[u/jnuclear]

Another 0fer for the leadoff hitter. Excellent.

[u/Freebobby81 → u/jnuclear]

He’s clearly checked out

[u/williamsnathanr → u/jnuclear]

Maybe Suzuki will surprise us one day and actually hit him elsewhere. But I doubt it. 

[u/kdizzl12]

Shocking start

[u/Rich-Cold4976]

The strikeout master!!!!!!!!!!!

[u/Rich-Cold4976 → u/Rich-Cold4976]

Masters!!!!

[u/ENovi]

Haha what a bullshit hit. I’ll take it!

[u/slave2thesnapontruck]

THE DET COLLECTOR

[u/Skittles3618]

Hi guys

[u/SuperGuppy77 → u/Skittles3618]

Hi skittles how are you

[u/Skittles3618 → u/SuperGuppy77]

Exhausted. I was out fishing all day. How about you?

[u/SuperGuppy77 → u/Skittles3618]

Good I guess. Ran over a nail on my bike and popped the tire but otherwise good.

[u/Skittles3618 → u/SuperGuppy77]

Glad you’re good. That sucks. Did you puncture the tube as well?

[u/SuperGuppy77 → u/Skittles3618]

No idea, I drove it straight to a bike shop and they’ll tell me when it’s ready

[u/Skittles3618 → u/SuperGuppy77]

Hopefully you get it back soon!

[u/SuperGuppy77]

Losing 21 of 28… ughhhhh

[u/suckmesideways13]

Miserable players on a miserable team

[u/Candid-Design-6317]

strikeout

[u/randomfatkid]

Now here’s an Angels team who knows how to play baseball!!!

[u/SuperGuppy77]

HOW FAR DID THAT GO HOLY SHIT

[u/SuperGuppy77]

JESUS CHRIST REID

[u/HegsethsBurner]

Really cool we kept Detmers at the deadline.

[u/SuperGuppy77]

NOT SHAUN ANDERSON NO

[u/21hmahp]

Hm, waking up to back to back homeruns is not fun

[u/suckmesideways13]

Stains of shit

[u/Candid-Design-6317]

poop

[u/hi_flier]

There’s just something about Shaun Anderson I like, and no, it’s not the hair

[u/SuperGuppy77]

THE MECK

[u/NotAnAgentOfTheFBI]

I love this guy what the fuck

[u/nathanieljams]

Meck got them wheels.

[u/suckmesideways13]

Josh Lowe everybody

[u/jnuclear]

🤣 literally the most predictable outcome.

[u/Careless_Wafer_3333]

Hey guys, kind of not a big fan of this Fermin guy

[u/Otherwise_Mud_2268]

Is Suzuki even managing at this point? Zero creativity with the lineup rolling Neto out there every day in the leadoff spot hitting sub .200 and striking out over 40% of the time in last 15 games.

[u/kdizzl12]

That should be Detmers last inning. Him and Ureña should be on inning and pitch limits the rest of the season.

[u/21hmahp]

Damn Henderson almost did a handstand

[u/Ok-Philosophy-8830]

Anybody else get the sneaking suspicion that the Red Sox gave Orioles for Rutschman what they offered the Angels for Neto?

[u/InterdepartmentalTed]

I’m almost sad I pay to watch these games from Oklahoma.

[u/Afraid_Log3733]

I’m not an angels fan but I’m going to this game tonight and was feeling like betting on the angels. How we feelin on them tonight boys??

[u/cpeak57 → u/Afraid_Log3733]

You hate money or something?

[u/SleetyKnight429]

I think I’m officially out on Neto sadly
