The Angels Historic Losing Streak Was A Perfect Mess 

Oh don’t worry you won’t get any

Dude it happens every year I tell my dad oh we are gonna go back to normal and suck. And he is always like no we are good. NEVER TRUST THE ANGELS

Angles are losers

Jeff Passan...

I'm an Angels fan too. However, I hate seeing the likes of Trout and Ohtani's talents WASTED playing for the Angels. I would much rather see them up the street playing for the Dodgers. Neither one of them are going to get a WS with the Angels.

The ultimate bro move.

And right now the mariners have a 14 game winning streak. Hmmm

The Dorktown special on the 1995 Mariners is outstanding.

Thing that worries me about Ohtani is he's turning into a K or HR guy. We don't need a Asian Dave Kingman, we need a complete player which he IS if they would just let him be and stop expecting the long ball every time he steps to to plate

@@kendallevans4079 all sluggers are hr or so guy.

True, this is now a three true outcome Game.

@@RunForPeace-hk1cu You're not wrong. I sometimes spend hours on baseball reference just looking at the SO/BB splits among dudes from different decades and it's remarkable. I know this is an EXTREME comparison cause Ted Williams was just a different dude but his AVERAGE season had him walking almost three times more than he struck out (average BB in a 162-game season 143, average K's in a season 50). It's just a different game now.

I was at that game and I’m a Sox fan so, it was upsetting

Yet your team has the third highest WHIP lmao

Yessir 😤😤

I felt this as a padre fan

@@louiszimmerman7425 the struggle and pain is real

I know the feeling man, I’m a Rockies fan…at least we had Rocktober but it was soo long ago

As a raiders fan I feel seen yet also attacked....

And then they got swept by the astros

That's a terrible rotation.

@@kobejete2796 better than the mariners’ rotation the last 5 years (this year it’s pretty good)

@@kobejete2796 it’s really not so I guess ydkb

@@kobejete2796 It’s been performing surprisingly well.

That, hitters to get healthy, and never play Tyler Wade again

Of always being trash they suck for 10 years plus

Absolutely!

Braves proving that the Trade Deadline is the only thing that matters.

Braves proving that actually hitting on all your mid season acquisitions is all that matters. If you get 3 bats at deadline and 2 perform great ya can’t ask for much else. Atlanta had 3 that played great.

1914 Braves have entered the chat

Trade trout and ohtani If this team doesn't get better players

What happened to that guy jo adell? All I heard for years was how crazy good this kid will be and everyone’s in trouble. HE STUNK!!! Even a poor fielder at his young age.

@@thereisnosuchthingasanativ904 That guy sucks has always sucked is a blooper reel on defense. Angels should've traded him for 2 starting pitchers while the hype was on for him.

I agree I’m just saying that’s all you heard was the hype for jo addell and he didn’t even come halfway close to living up to it. He’s a straight mess. The angels farm has been a joke and So has their pitching, bullpen especially.

Just as an aside, despite losing 17 of their last 19, and being 5 games below 500. As of today (June 15th) the angels are trailing the astros by 9.5 games in the west. 1/2 a game fewer than what the rays (6 games ABOVE 500) trail the Yankees by in the East. Which goes to say, unfortunately for the rest of the league, the Yankees are very very good.

Dude the other week when I looked Cole had the highest ERA on their team lmao. That’s how good their SP is. Idk if they can keep pitching outta their mind like that. Plus their bullpen guys just step up like no other team…. Chapman pitching not so good? Britton out? No problem here’s some kid rocky so and so who’s about to step up. Or clay Holmes. It’s amazing that pen. The talent is there… but can they continue to play over their heads. The ppl I just mentioned are good…. Are they that good though? We shall see

@@thereisnosuchthingasanativ904 As of August 6th, the Yankees have lost four in a row and are 70-38, while the Dodgers are 74-33 and have won seven in a row. The tide has turned mightily.

They are gutless.

They might technically play in a big market but there are other teams in the greater Los Angeles area and one of those teams is the best team currently in the NL. If a great player wants to go to LA then they're going to the Dodgers.

It’s the later

Reminds me of the dramatic fall the Mets have every season lmao!! Even if they get over the hump…. Who cares them clowns have 60 more million on the payroll than the second closest team. Ppl cry about the Yankees “buying” championships. The dodgers outspend NYY every season for how many years now? The Mets can’t continue this…. Soon Alonso will be a FA, they will be in 300m payroll territory if they resign him. Lindor isnt getting younger and ain’t what he was. Scherzer isn’t getting younger and spends time on the IL every year and degrom is made of glass. Realistically all hating aside they have a 2 year window with this team as constructed. Idc what kind of money they have, that team constructed as is, is full blown win now mode. Little talent in the pipeline and what talent they do have uncle Steve will trade at deadline these next few years: the future isn’t bright. All that for one maybe two WS wins. If they gotta face NYY I still take the yanks. Not impressed

It could work out for Trout and the Angels tbh if the Angels were smart with the trade. Any trade to get Trout would have to be massive and the angels could potentially rebuild parts of their roster and make themselves legitimate contenders. Whilst Trout could get the chance to play for a franchise that isn’t completely incompetent and actually see the playoffs for once.

He has no leverage

I can't imagine there being too many contenders out there willing to take on such a huge contract for a player who keeps getting injured.

@@ahogg5960i think there are at least a few teams, i dont think mike trout will request a trade though.

I think he should if they miss the playoffs again this year

YES.

Dude only has like 20 At bats.

@@willm3027 6 homeruns in 20 at bats

@@zacherygoldstein1810 I can look up the stats too.

@@willm3027 Matt carpenter hit a combined 7 homeruns in 180 games in 2020-2021 and this year in 10 games he has 6 homeruns

I agree, I feel like they were pressured into doing it, maybe they took inspiration from the Phillies firing Joe Girardi

Whoever signed Rendon should be fired

I agree rendon is a train wreck. He’s soft, has a bad attitude, and you can look up his past comments about not wanting to play forever. He came for arte and his money. Period. Remember when ppl said he was the best 3rd baseman in the league lmao… ahahhahaha. Best laugh of my life. So not Jose Ramirez, not arenado, but tough talking Tony was the best third base lol. Unreal. Fun fact. Tony rendon never even hit 30 homers until 2019 with a juiced ball. Fantastic doubles hitter and good defense but he was never gonna be that guy. To think ppl bashed arenado because he played at coors. We’ll look now. Nolan been had 30+ power. Fools just hated too hard to read the home away splits. He never hit less than 15 on the road from 2015 on in a full season. That translates to 30 anywhere the NL west has big parks. I get it coors boosts your averages. But coors don’t make you win 9 gold gloves in a row. Coors don’t make you hit 15 on the road every season. And what happened when he left? He’s still a 260-280 hitter with 30 home runs and the most consistent fielder at third. Ps…. You can save the whole kebryan Hayes is better in the field comments. They said that about Chapman and after a season or two above Nolan he came back down to earth. Nobody plays as consistently good defensively as Nolan, maybe machado has his great defensive years but even he’s a step behind. Let me add: kebryan Hayes has the power of a 12 year old in his bat. I seen more power in the little league World Series.

Every other year there is hope, the Mariners simply punch their fans in the d*ck.

Despite Legares' couple of fumbles on defense, Adell is still a bigger liability. Offense I would give the edge to Adell because of his homerun potential.

@@steveperez424 I don't know, Jo Adell has been looking like a way better defender than lagares, and his latest stint he showed to be a better defender and obviously produced more in offense; I understand they want to keep him in AAA so that he can get consistent ab's since he can't get any time with Ward, Trout, and Marsh, however them having lagares over him is really costing them, and I'd rather have them trade him and not do to him what the Yankees did to Clint Frazier, if they don't call him up and let go of lagares

Nope. Totally sucks

Too bad pujols still averaged over 20 homers a year and paid for his own contract a billion times over in the TV money arte got when him and Hamilton signed up. The merchandise and extra tickets along with concessions sold them first few years where a boon for moreno. What ppl lack to understand is, until Walsh came along, all the guys who was backing him up sucked way more than him. Like Justin bour lmao. Pujols was hitting 240 that year and ppl trashed him, well bour hit 190 lmao. So who was better and gonna take his job until Walsh came along? Nobody! Let’s not pretend pujols didn’t have decent or even good years in an angels uniform. First year hit 28 home runs and 50 doubles. Either 2014 or 2015 he hit 40 home runs. And in 2016 he went 30 and 100. So spare me the pujols was a distant comments. If his name wasn’t pujols and it was Joe Schmo the fans would be like… look at Joe Schmo he just went 28 bombs with 50 doubles and a 280 average (pujols first year stats). I get it, he wasn’t 30 million a year good. But he wasn’t a bum until his last 4-5 years. But last I checked nobody put a gun to morenos head and made him sign. So blame Moreno. The only reason he held anyone back was because arte had a self imposed cap of 180 million or less for all those years and would not spend on pitching. Ask any angels fan how their pitching was from 2012-2021, and don’t get me started on the trash bullpens they ran out. Please!

Houston: Don't worry, we got you....

They fall on their face almost every time against real good teams.

Love the comment. Kemp was a really good person. I watched him give a sick kid his shoes, a bat, and literally the shirt off his back. That guy has a heart like few men I’ve seen. He went outta his way for ppl, especially children and those less fortunate. Great guy!

Great analysis: joe Maddon is loose and is a players manager and lets guy be them and do what they please if they are playing well and performing. Who’s to say new manager doesn’t reign him in? That’s very true. We don’t know yet tho. On trout feeling his age? He’s been feeling it. Look at his defense and steals the last few seasons. Look at his time missed. Mike growth hormone goodburger moon face trout is declining and ppl can’t admit it. They cling to that guy like it’s a dad who doesn’t want some punk to take his daughter to her first prom. Never seen nothing like it.

That's how pro sports works sometimes. Unless you've delivered that team a championship in the last few years you'll get dropped as soon as things go wrong. I don't get why they think changing managers is some kind of cure though

I think his time as a top 5 manager has passed, but he is unquestionably better than anyone they were going to replace him with midseason.

Indeed, they were much worse under his replacement.

The terrible fielders aren’t the home run hitters the problem is having low production from the bottom of the order in wade,Velasquez,Suzuki,rengifo,lagares. You can have one of them not hit well but all 5 is horrendous and the only one out of those 5 playing exceptional defense is Velasquez.

@@smellyfly9469 I'm just not onboard with the idea that Velasquez needs to play because of his exceptional defense. His offense is horrendous hitting .172, and he looks like he's always swinging for the fence. If he's not going to produce much at the plate, he should at least work towards being a role player and try to get on base. That's obviously not the case when he's always going up there first pitch swinging. He's such an offensive liability. How many times was he the last out in the video we just watched about the 14 game losing streak? To me Velasquez is a coaching issue. Someone needs to put him in check about his approach at the plate.

Yea but sometimes regular at bats help a bad hitter. Even andrelton Simmons had decent years with the bat. Look at ikf for the yanks. His bat wasn’t as bad as we thought

Except in 95 they didn’t have the two best players in the league

​@@screamingbanana4391 they had Tim Salmon and Jim Edmonds in 1995 and they were all stars.

@@ramenlover1727 because of Ohtani and Trout

Trout hurt again

What? It’s not even half way to the season. Calm down.

@@ziggyc4474 he just hit 2 dongs yesterday

Yes you can believe it you've already been through X amount of years lol

It’s ok. They both chose that.

There are signs to look for in all players when drafted, but ultimately coaching and luck factor in towards their overall development and performance. Some guys you know will be good. Some develop strong in the minors and become good players. Some look good but bust. Some get injured and are never the same. A lot goes into it.

i dont think any team can guarantee whos going to become good, that's why the angels decided to take 20 pitchers. out of a bunch of talented pitchers, at least a few are bound to be good
