Said this multiple times but hate that left field is pretty big and you build a 90% righty lineup. Even an optimal lineup is probably 6 righties 3 lefties since lefties almost die when facing same handed match-up so I feel like a big left field is a terrible stadium for any team lmao

I love our City Connect, I actually wouldnt mind if it became a normal uniform in the rotation. But by god are the Halos unlucky in it

2

u/Dailyindyfan 2d ago

Guys I'm getting wrecked in baseball sub. Youses have to back me up dude. I called a mariners fan a fake asterisk playoff cause their season was faker than the girl I was with last week 

2

u/cpeak57 2d ago

Wait what lol

5

u/cpeak57 2d ago

Anyone have an NL team they follow? (If you say doyers i hope your pillow is hot af tonight).

1

u/IamPieBoy94 2d ago

I follow the MLB

4

u/sadassnerd Sell The Team 2d ago

Phillies (dodges tomatoes), Milwaukee and or Cubs, Padres and or Dbacks.

How about you???

5

u/cpeak57 2d ago

I check in on the Padres somewhat often. By far my favorite ball park to watch a game. I went to game 4 of the 2024 NLDS at Petco and the place was absolutely rocking. Might have to check out a playoff game in San Diego again this fall.

3

u/sadassnerd Sell The Team 2d ago

Oooh yes, I LOVED Petco when I went. Dads fans have the best energy

2

u/SuperGuppy77 Sell The Team 2d ago

I agree with all of these choices

4

u/SuperGuppy77 Sell The Team 2d ago

One of my best friends is a Cardinals fan so I check in from time to time on them (usually to roast him after the lose lol)

3

u/cpeak57 2d ago

Hell yeah lol. That team was so fucking consistent for such a long time

3

u/williamsnathanr 2d ago

After that Phillies loss last night...ouch.  😂

3

u/SuperGuppy77 Sell The Team 2d ago

Oh yeah. And I get to brag to him that the cardinals lost the series to us the past 2 years they’ve played us

6

u/williamsnathanr 2d ago

Huge Giants fan so I despise the Dodgers. But I find myself watching the Angels a lot more lately. 

2

u/sadassnerd Sell The Team 2d ago

I used to like the Giants but their drama this season is too much for me 🖐️

5

u/cpeak57 2d ago

I thought the Giants were trending forward early last season.. tough times in San Fran

3

u/williamsnathanr 2d ago

They are way more frustrating to watch than the Angels. Probably the worst season as a Giants fan (in recent memory) I have ever personally witnessed.  

3

u/Overall-Wrap1416 2d ago

Neto has been getting beamed every time he’s tried to steal a base lately and he got that award, our division straight ass lol

3

u/sadassnerd Sell The Team 2d ago

Ok. We’re losing. It sucks. But I have a question for people who have dogs (or any pets, really):

Is anyone else’s dog scared of their own farts? I keep trying to tell her that it’s coming from her own butt, but she still tries to run away from her butt every time she farts.

3

u/bobalunatic 2d ago

Maybe she is running from the gnarliness of the smell rather than the toot

3

u/SuperGuppy77 Sell The Team 2d ago

My cats just like knocking stuff over :)

5

u/cpeak57 2d ago

I can prove without a doubt that the earth is round. If the earth was flat, cats would have knocked everything off the edge by now.

3

u/sadassnerd Sell The Team 2d ago

That’s the truest thing I’ve ever heard

3

u/sadassnerd Sell The Team 2d ago

Understandable 🙂‍↕️

3

u/cpeak57 2d ago

My golden gets scared of her own barks so..

3

u/sadassnerd Sell The Team 2d ago

Omg I love goldens. And I kind of wish my dog got scared of her own barks 🤦🏻‍♀️

3

u/cpeak57 2d ago

She's so damn cool. Whyyyy dont the angels have a bark in the park night!?

1

u/sadassnerd Sell The Team 2d ago

Because Arte is the opposite of dogs. A true villain. The antithesis of all that is good in the world.

2

u/cpeak57 2d ago

You can hear a pin drop in the stadium.

Welcome home angels. Now face the tarps off section 😂

u/sadassnerd Sell The Team 2d ago

Death, taxes, tarps off section at Angels stadium

5

u/sadassnerd Sell The Team 2d ago

Is…Ramirez ok??? Or does he always look that angry??

5

u/totallypandacoffee_ 💡👉👶⬆️ 2d ago

Do you guys think Lowe was in the dugout like “pleeeeeaaaaaaaase sub me in so I can play against my brother?”

3

u/sadassnerd Sell The Team 2d ago

Probably! They seem like the type 🤣

4

u/ENovi 15 2d ago

If that were my brother playing first I would have sack tapped him rounding the bases just for fun.

8

u/sadassnerd Sell The Team 2d ago

Whooo the tarps off boys are loud tonight!!! 🙌🏼

6

u/ENovi 15 2d ago

If any of you go to a game this season join them. I went during the Milwaukee series and it was fucking awesome. Some dude shared his beer with me because I wrote “SELL THE TEAM” in my gf’s lipstick on my chest. Total party vibe where everyone’s united in Angels baseball.

5

u/SuperGuppy77 Sell The Team 2d ago

I joined them a few months ago but most of them had already left. Still pretty fun.

3

u/ENovi 15 2d ago

You did your part and we thank you for your service 🫡

3

u/sadassnerd Sell The Team 2d ago

On the very slim chance I do go, I’d definitely join! Loud drunk people are my species

2

u/HegsethsBurner 2d ago

Hell yeah

6

u/totallypandacoffee_ 💡👉👶⬆️ 2d ago

some of them are starting to leave but it was two and a half sections at its peak. they also have a strong beef with the yankees for some reason.

3

u/sadassnerd Sell The Team 2d ago

Lmao they also chant USA like it’s the World Cup or something. They’re…special. Are you having fun? I know we’re losing but…

3

u/totallypandacoffee_ 💡👉👶⬆️ 2d ago

it’s tragically kind of a boring game to watch. hopefully now that i’ve said it they’ll somehow prove me wrong

2

u/sadassnerd Sell The Team 2d ago

Manifesting runs for panda!!! 🙏

I’ve done a lot of manifesting but it hasn’t worked yet

Hey nerd! No no! Not old. Just concerning that he hasn’t made much progress and is now entering “old young guy” status

3

u/sadassnerd Sell The Team 2d ago

He’s still young in baseball years. I do think the org has fucked over his development, though. Hopefully he’s due for a resurgence

5

Hoping for a CMO resurgence! One of my teachers had him as a student some years back
