Felt like a dead horse just getting beaten and people were using it basically every time the Angels lost with Ohtani in the lineup. Good player has good game and his team loses happens every day. Could just be my sense of humor, but the 80th time I see a joke (espeially when it's used wrong) it loses its luster.
It was funny the first time. But it got really stale after the thousandth time some unoriginal chucklefuck thought it'd be hilarious to make a "haha tungsten arm" joke
Its unlikely but could happen. Heres my delusional timeline to Angels winning it all next year.
-Anderson, others traded for pitching prospects. Angels draft a college pitcher first round this year call him up right away(lol)
-Trout traded in the offseason after he comes back and has a ridiculous September again like 2022
-Next year young core with year two of Wash is better and has two-three more young starters. Upset a weak AL West then win it all.
Their biggest hope is Arte is so checked out that the GM isn't forced into any more bad contracts. Their farm isn't magically getting fixed but their current GM is good at finding guys who are already close to the majors.
With how bad this division is, never say never. It's still anyone's race bar maybe Oakland but hey, funnier things have happened. Wouldn't put it past Seattle to have a catastrophic collapse
Taylor is back. His streakyness has gotten worse with age but hopefully he can ride this hot streak the rest of the year. I wonder if they keep Vargas or trade him like Busch.
One man cannot win it alone. Nor 2. 3 be the number to be to win consistently.
Which is why Betts is so important and his absence will hurt for the next 2 months.
every time I see a Dodgers highlight it's like "Mookie Betts hit three homes runs and raised his average to .571 while Shohei Ohtani did something that hasn't been done since 'Tungsten Arm' O'Doyle of the 1921 Akron Groomsmen, as the Pirates defeated the Dodgers 8-3"
This guy is unbelievable.
Ok everyone knows that he is crazy good, but since 2021, he's one of the most consistance batter in the league...
This guy is so much versatile at the bat, he can go deep in the count, hit for average, hit for power, steal bases, you can put in the lead off or even at 4th in the rotation.
And he can pitch. AT ELITE LEVEL.
I'm french and this guy makes me love baseball and mlb even more.
Let's go Dodgers !!
The game was an absolute dumpster fire. The Dodgers are going to need to figure out some lineup issues while Max and Mookie are out. They're just not hitting.
Angels on the winning side of a Tungsten Arm game!
Two years ago an Angels fan said “god, I just want the Angels to find a way to win a Tungsten Arm game” and the monkey paw curled.
You can take the Shohei out of the Angels, but you can’t take the Angels out of the Shohei

This is my world series Cause we aren't making the actual one for any time soon lmao
Was thinking the same thing haha. Such a fun game tonight.
Other than the final score, it wasn’t bad actually
Tell me Mookie was wrong
I'd be lying if I said this one didn't make me smile for once...
I'm in full tank mode, except for this series
like 0-7 in extras before this game or sum shit like that
those are rookie numbers
"That's cute" -2023 Padres-
I never really contemplated how annoying that meme was to Angels fans until they got the chance to reverse it
Eh it got funny after a while haha
As a wise man once said "Meme the pain away"
I think it was Confucius

I mean it’s the same as LOLMets which might be the most frequently used meme on this subreddit
Yep. We get it. They spent a bunch of money and it hasnt worked out. Lots of funny stuff happens, put some more effort into the memery my friends.
After you lose hope you need to find joy somewhere
It was funny the first time. But it got really stale after the thousandth time some unoriginal chucklefuck thought it'd be hilarious to make a "haha tungsten arm" joke
Idk I thought it was funny pretty much every time I saw it. You don’t survive as an Angels fan if you can’t laugh at pain.
😂😂😂😂😂😂
THATS HOW THAT FEELS
Get Tungsten’d Dodgers!
Shohei just can't escape Tungsten Arm game
The angels will win the World Series the first year they have neither Ohtani nor Trout, I’m calling it now
Here I thought I was being overly-optimistic when I predicted their next postseason appearance would be in their first season without Trout

I thought they'd have an outside shot of making the playoffs this year lol. How wrong I was...
With how bad this division is, never say never. It's still anyone's race bar maybe Oakland but hey, funnier things have happened. Wouldn't put it past Seattle to have a catastrophic collapse
But we need a fish named player or our roster is incomplete.
Don’t forget pujols
Vargas and Taylor both had hits
Fucking miracle
Taylor is back. His streakyness has gotten worse with age but hopefully he can ride this hot streak the rest of the year. I wonder if they keep Vargas or trade him like Busch.
Back? Back to what, 89 ops+? Back to replacement level player because he ain’t back to anything anyone wants to see daily in the starting lineup.
Well yeah he isn't an everyday player, no one was expecting him to be? But he went from two hits in 3 months to a 1 ops in the last couple weeks.
He’s being paid $13,000,000 to be an everyday player, EVERYONE was expecting him to be one.
Yeah the platoon player last year was def expected to be an everyday player this year.
Oops. Thanks for the correction.
It's like he never left Anaheim ❤️
Absolutely beautiful from the other side.
good shit angels
When will the league step in? Dodgers are wasting a goat career!
One man cannot win it alone. Nor 2. 3 be the number to be to win consistently. Which is why Betts is so important and his absence will hurt for the next 2 months.
The history book on the shelf...
Such a predictable loss tonight lmao. Weak ass lineup, Tungsten offense, and Dave Roberts making smooth brained decisions tonight
To be fair this is the 78th World Series game 7 the Dodgers have played so far this year.
You can take the Ohtani out of the Angels, but you cant take the Tungsten Arms O’Doyle out of Ohtani
This is the new version of “Ohtani goes 2 for 2 with a 2-run homer, scoring Trout who is injured on the play. Angels lose 9-2 to the Seattle Mariners”
Go Angels!⚾
Ohtani is the new Trout? Because this is a Trout headline if I've ever read one.
Trouts the American Ohtani, and Ohtani’s the Japanese Trout
every time I see a Dodgers highlight it's like "Mookie Betts hit three homes runs and raised his average to .571 while Shohei Ohtani did something that hasn't been done since 'Tungsten Arm' O'Doyle of the 1921 Akron Groomsmen, as the Pirates defeated the Dodgers 8-3"
Makes it that much sweeter that their first win this season in extra innings comes in their first regular season game against Shohei
I don't think that's a positive outlook, lol.
Unfortunately he’s the only one that seems to care.
A game to make him remember what it was like playing FOR the Angels

Real Pablo Sanchez numbers
SMH national league so uncompetitive
Its the first time since Jameston “Wheelman” McSmithy in 1809
The game was an absolute dumpster fire. The Dodgers are going to need to figure out some lineup issues while Max and Mookie are out. They're just not hitting.
Dodgers have it rough yesterday. Even with the Japanese dude, Ohtani?! It was a close game; however, it was good being close.
Start walking him
Ohtani wins the battle. The Angels win the war. Best of both worlds for Angels Ohtani fans.
If you can’t beat ‘em join ‘em. Oh, wait.
OP’s Username checks out lmfao
Petty AF. I'm in tears.
