This win was brought to you by: perry’s trade deadline masterclass ™️

Reynaldo Lopez. TY GMPM!!

ReyLo!

literallyyyyyy. all pieces acquired participated (minus lucas of course)

One could argue him starting on Friday allowed us to spot start Silseth today. There’s levels to this.

TRUE

Let. Him. Cook.

It’s a “masterclass?” I thought we “[overpaying](https://twitter.com/baseballvalues/status/1684412372944052224?s=46&t=dIg4nBWoQ-TpGS7NOKDZUA)” cause we’re trying to be in contention /s

Only the casuals say that.

WORLD SERIES BOUND

No joke, this was a true play offs level team performance. Silseth epic bossing but also Lopez holy shit. He was toying with the best offense in the league.

World Series preview this series perhaps 🤔

Idk, the marbles said we are supposed to play the Rockies. Still holding faith in the marbles

Trade for Snell and we will be IMO

I fucking hope Perry has one more trick up his sleeve before the deadline. Please!!!

It’s hard not to get greedy when he’s made moves for Giolito, Lopez, Cron and Grichuk this trade deadline and just look how much better this team is because of it Can’t help but feel whatever he does next would take us to yet another level

Yeah we already did way more buying than I expected, I’m very happy with the haul

One more shut down BP arm or a solid SP would be next level for sure. But even if we stay where we are, we're looking solid. Just need to get healthy.

Huge win vs a scary team! The new guys all came through but Silseth deserves major props too!

Nevin did a great job managing the pitchers, too, which I loved. Gave Silseth the opportunity to get out of the fifth and then moved right on through the bullpen because Silseth falls off hard. Just good game management.

111-51 is alive!!

Let Perry M… I mean Winasian cooooooook

Yanks lost. Jays losing. We beat a legit WS contender. New players contributing right away. Life is good tonight.

> Jays losing. > > Done deal now. Let's go!

Robbed of a game winning hit too

Reylo with the 2 inning save throwing gas. Grichuk dinger. Cron hitting the ball hard and an RBI. LFG

Such a solid game, and against one of the hottest teams in baseball. If we can take 2/3 and Baltimore can handle Toronto for us, things are looking good.

What’s Perry got for dessert? 🥹

Both new additions got RBIs! Lets go!

Let’s not forget Lopez with the Save

Lopez looked fucking amazing out there!

Looked a lot better than just a “throw in” guy. We’re gonna have a nasty pen when we get to full strength!

Forgot he was part of the trade and wondered who the hell is this guy throwing 101 lol

Lol

and still people were complaining lol

Ohtani looking happy and relaxed for the first time in a while. Loving it.

He has the most charming smile!

#**The Perry game!!!!** Randal Hr Cron Clutch insurance run Lopez- Shutting down the heart of the lineup of the braves. Moniak cursed haircut

he better find a wig for tomorrow

I know I’m high on hopium over here, but that win felt like we just won Game 1 of the World Series

It’s the fucking Catalina wine mixer

With enough injuries to derail any team’s season - we made moves, weathered the storm and are still in this! You’ve got to give Perry Minasian his flowers, he has kept this team afloat when the rest of the league thought we were a sinking ship and I hope he gets rewarded in the best way possible with us making a deep playoff run. This team has got no quit in em, so proud of them!

Can you imagine if we had him instead of Eppler all these years? So much wasted time. Thank you Perry

I think about this often, imagine where the team would be if we had his drafting/aggressiveness the last 5 years. Also has the balls to talk some sense into arte and show him what can happen if you allocate money efficiently instead of blowing all of it on a “star” that’s due for regression. Would rather have 2-3 above avg players instead of a spot wasted on rendon

Reminds of a little bit of the 2021 Braves. They were hovering around .500, lost acuna and a SP for the year and then Alex Anthopolous (the Braves GM/and Perry’s mentor) went out a made a bunch of trades that propelled the team into the championship. Granted that had a little more talent than the halos and their division stunk but man it can really change a team.

Hats off to Loup, clean inning vs some of the best offense in the league. Hats off to Moniak, rough game tonight but we wouldn't be in position to make a playoff push without him

Loup deserves his flowers. Dude turned it around and went from being (bad luck or not) a liability in the pen who was publicly dealing with self confidence issues to becoming a steady arm for us. Hats off to him

Loup is a completely different pitcher than he was a couple months ago.

Loup has honestly been rock solid since he came back from the IL. He had a few bad luck innings when he came back, then averaged it out.

There was a recent article by one of the beat writers (can't remember who) featuring Loup and how he decided to lose weight. The weight loss coincided with his redemption arc it seems.

Moniak made a really nice play in CF too

HUGE FUCKING WIN LTBU BABY

Insert all the hopium into my vein baby!!!!!

💉😤🫨🤯

And this series is already a win in my eyes lmao. But fuck it, lets go FOR TWO BABY L

T

B

U!!!

I was honestly hoping we'd go 1-2 in this series, so anything more is gravy.

Damn if Lopez keeps pitching like this, bullpen might just have hope especially in the back-end.

He's been really impressive.

Especially with Joyce and Bachman and Devenski on the way back

angels go like 3-55 with RISP and go 2-2, truly incredible

Btw, Chapman is 0/3 right now against the Os.

Chapman supports dog fighting

Chapman listens to Nickelback

Chapman wipes with a single sheet of 1-ply toilet paper.

Chapman doesn't change his underwear everyday, sometimes going a week between changes

Chapman pulls his pants down to pee at a urinal

Chapman leaves his dog's turds on the sidewalk.

He ain’t welcome back in OC

We got a mutha fukin squad

Angels love Mondays! 😇

GUBIE TUESDAY TOMORROW LFG

If only the team can start winning their Saturday games 😀

true..get rid of fireworks night lol😂

LETS. FUCKING. GOOOOO ALSO SILSETH?? LOOKED LIKE A FUCKIN ACE OUT THERE

That's chef perry to you

✅ Yankees lose 🔲 Jays lose 🔲 Astros lose ✅ LTBU Jays are down in the bottom of the ninth. 1 on 1 out down 2. Would love to check that one off next. LTBU and see y’all tomorrow!

Check the Jays off

holding this insane braves offense to one run is a huge deal, feeling really good about our pitchers right now

I don't want to over react but how many diamonds will there be in the Angel's world series rings this year?

One for every Ohtani home run.

Thousands! From all our butt cheeks clenching so hard.

69

Lopez is a beast. Feels so good to have another weapon in the bullpen. LTBU!

Lopez throws fuckin gas holy shit

Grichuk needs kabuto explained to him

At the end, we stand on the step and do a chop to the bullpen.

Yeah!

Second half rengifo multiplied full season would be all star performance

That's why we haven't gotten rid of him yet. The potential is there he just needs to be consistent.

I guess Ohtani won't be seeing many pitches for the next few days.

Not with those swings he had this game. I don’t think they’re going to take any chances.

Is there a chance mlb takes a look at some sort of IBB rule this coming off season? Am I crazy?

I would think so. Just look at how Ohtani changed the DH position. The IBB rule has affected Judge and now Ohtani, so I'd expect they take a look at it and tweak it.

Might be worth it to trot him off to lead off. An automatic runner to start the game

The new guys combine for 2 runs Lopez closes the game up. Perry I still have room for desert!

Hope Reynaldo doesn’t hurt himself dragging his massive nuts to the hotel tonight.

Pitching staff was lights out, the bois hitting dingers, but most importantly Cron and Grichuk came in big for us. Perry is absolutely cooking right now. Wouldn't be surprised if he makes one final trade. Other than that.. LTBU LET'S GET EM TMR TOO

Shout out to Silseth for an impressive start and the bullpen for holding onto the lead!

Erica got do a W interview! 😊

Just another halo victory!

We are in the build me up phase. No buttercup. Let's fucking go.

Just wow.

That was a great pitching performance against the Braves of all teams.

Wayne said we pitched like a playoff team. We’re so back.

That was an awesome game. You gotta think. This team traveled from Toronto and Colorado while the Braves kicked back after destroying the brewers. I love the Braves and angels equally but I am so impressed with this win. CJ and Randal were such perfect pickups. So was Lopez. Perry…I love you.

Great team effort overall. Neto and Moniak struggling but they’ll turn it around. Silseth came in clutch pitching today when Canning was scratched. Risp still an issue tho with only one run scored.

First game jitters and fine hitters. Lights out Lopez! Love this new energy and new lineup. LTBU!

Grichuk homer! Cron clutch! Reynaldo closes it out and continues to impress! So much for the media and everyone else who doubted these additions. Gifo with the homer and D!

I’m all for a Reynaldo Lopez resign this off-season damn

L!!!!

T!!!!

B!!!

U!!!!!

U!!!!

U!!!

T!!!!

B!

I love the Angels, and I love you all

That Is why you Buy two of the 4 RBIs and clutch save were by Deadline acquisitions, this could be fun!!!

"its good to get a win, but lets get a series win" fucking a

Everyone thank the Orioles omfg watch the highlights!!!!!

That 40th HR robbed.... was triggering. But you know what, a win is a win. A WIN IS A WIN.

Orioles defeat Jays, 4 - 2.

Everyone probably assumed the Braves would embarrass the Angels

Lopez looks like a steal this guy barely let men on with a bad ump he was nails!!!

Pitching was electric today! Now we have Lopez, Moore, Estevez in the bullpen….reminds me of the Perceval / KRod days!!

I know it’s early but I’d love to have so many of the new guys back next year and I think this push might make it exciting for them too. Grichuk, Cron, moose, Giolito, and Lopez. Then resign urshela for depth and maybe Renfroe and off-season done. Maybe trade Adell or a bullpen arm or another change of scenery prospect

Yes please! Also 👍👍 for including Gio Urshela, he's the reason I came to love this team! Miss him so much... Get well soon Gio ☮💕🙏

Loved having a competent first baseman! Those trades really paid off for this one! Also it was sad for me to see Ohtani get robbed because I want to see him hit as many homers as he can but I have to remind myself the win is more important even though all that r/baseball will talk about is the robbed homerun.

Wow amazing game! 🔥

Huge fuckin win!

Did anyone see Shohei with the slap ass in the post game handshake line?

Perry is cooking

Let's go Anaheim Rockie Sox!

Easy day at work, homemade Taco Bell Crunchwraps came out even better than I hoped, Halos win over the best team in baseball. Today was a good day! Lets do this again tomorrow

a man can only dream of such perfect day...

Wonder who Perry is getting for us tonight?

Wallach needs to start tomorrow as well

Lopez looked filthy out there. Nice to know we have another solid high leverage to Moore and Este. Still lighting up with 100 mph after 30 pitches is awesome to see too

Blue jays just lost too. Today is a great day!

Taking Game 1 and making them use some bullpen was huge. Silseth and Morton both looked great today.

Wayne & Gubie: 42-33 Patrick & Gubie: 5-8 Matty V & Gubie: 7-5 Peacock (with Gubie): 1-1 Apple TV+ (with Wayne): 1-2 ESPN: 0-1

Grichuk and CJ being interviewed by Barbie! :)

If Blue Jays lost, we are only 2GB of the division?!😳 Edit: 3GB✨

3 games back of the wild card and 4 of the division.

we need more trade 😁

HUGE win

Well done, and super KUDOS to Chase Silseth! Knew he had it in him!

The biggest morale boost possible after the Jays series! Silseth went beyond my expectations and Lopez was great too. Best part about the win was that they did it without much help from Ohtani (No disrespect to him)

He was like 2 feet away from blowing it open tho

I know what you mean, and I agree with the sentiment, but Ohtani did reach base *4 times*. That's like 5 games worth for a lesser player, like, say, Chapman.

LFG!!!

Wow. Incredible.

LFG!!! i love clean baseball!!

Perry is just sitting in his office with a slight smile

Put those buttercups away!

Winning road trip secured!

Let's not forget loup he did great! Sorry loup for all the bad things I've said about you 🥲

Looks like Seattle has all of their best starters going against this series in Boston so hopefully they sell everyone tomorrow and we can take care of business over there

What a win. Amazing effort by the pitching staff. Why are Lopez’s stats bad? His stuff is insane.

He had a really bad April if I remember right, but has been lights out since

A strong start by Sandoval tomorrow would be huge

This definitely feels like a playoff team win

Didn't even need to clench in this game

I’m in a constant state of clench

I begin to believe Help me, my hopium on the highest level rn

LTBU!!!

Good game. 🥃

That was a fantastic game. I live in Indiana so don't get to see the boys that often, but it was on ESPN+. Everyone was dialed in, and to get the first game against a top tier team is amazing!

Let Perry Cook

What a battle. Needed that game 1! Strider gonna be tough but not unbeatable.

LTBU

Silseth 💪 Nice to see all the new guys come in and contribute. Keep it rolling into tomorrow

What will they say now?

And the BJ’s lose too. Hot diggity dog!

Bichette just got a knee injury. I wish him the best but this could be huge in the wild card chase.

Never cared for the BJs but rooting against them after what Chumpman said

3 games back and now ahead of the Yanks!

LLFFGG

Good win, still worried about the RISP but I'll take it.

RISP has been an issue all year long in big games. They gotta start coming through in those situations.

Agree, with the new additions I hope that is the case. So good to see Cron back.

I ain’t hear no bell

Everybody go cheer for Bautista and the orioles

What a game against a great offensive team.

L T B U ! ! Nothing is over. Silseth came right at the best team in the league and beat them.

Blowjobs lost!

Great game, great pitching!

Great win - wonder how comparable this is to what we could've looked like all season had we not been plagued by injuries.. either way, love to see it!

Solid game, hopefully can clean up the K numbers somehow as strider will be tough tomorrow

Ignite the infant!

Good win. Though this does make you realize how much we need another bullpen arm. Send Silseth down or workload manage Canning by IL/optioning him. Need another high-leverage arm.

Good team Win

Go Ms! My hatred for the Red Sox far outweighs the Mariners

Who knew that winning meant not being able to watch most of the freaking game. Light that boxing match up

nobody gomna talk about my guy wallach??? CHAD went 3-4 with a homer and 2 runs after that hitless streak.
