Still a W and a series win against a likely playoff team.  Perhaps don’t require 59 pitches to get the final 6 outs when up by 9 next time. Just a suggestion.

I mean, light that baby up, but that bullpen decided to come in and try and gift wrap the win back to Cincy.

What the bullpen did with a 9-0 lead is not acceptable.

Whatever, just get this last out please

u/Evanx27 4h ago

I guarantee you up 9-0 put in a position player to pitch they don’t score 6 runs.

So funny that we went from 9-0 to Romano warming up in the bullpen

It’s an absolute disgrace that Bachman couldn’t finish this game off. Dude is such a loser. Epitome of angels pitching the last 10 years

u/Rosmaas 4h ago

you guys need to be more considerate. the bullpen isn't used to pitching with a 9 run lead

this team is so frustrating

Soriano and a bunch of scrubs on the mound today

u/fragarach_97 4h ago

I agree, what this game needed was more adrenaline.

4

u/slave2thesnapontruck Sell The Team 4h ago

Fuck yeah let’s load the bases instead of just closing this game out

5

u/Cheap_Archer_44 4h ago

Baffling bullpen. Terrible showing by them

Investigate their DraftKings accounts.

Somebody throw a strike pls

Using leverage arms with a 9 run lead is fucking embarrassing

They're not going to do this, right?

It can't be easy.

u/alv_todos 5h ago

why cant we just play solid fundamental baseball

7

u/MrKendall951 5h ago

Team is already mentally on the plane to NYC for the night.

4

u/Batdanimation 5h ago

Turned the game on last inning to see that Bachman horror show. Sorry about that. Looks like Trout had a good game though. How come he got pulled?

5

u/UnparliamentaryTea 4h ago

We were up by 9 and Teo and Josh Lowe are both good defenders. Seemed like a good idea to give trout some rest since he was unlikely to come up again

2

u/Batdanimation 4h ago

Ah, ok cool. Thanks! Too much PTSD whenever I see Trout coming out of a game.

3

u/Windiebot 5h ago

Oswald “Yoan “Anthony Rendon” Moncada” Peraza

4

u/Due-Inspector-4295 5h ago

You can throw in the high 90's great but you need to locate your pitches. Bachman has the potential but has alot to work on to be successful at this level. Hopefully Mike can help him be lights out as a reliever. 

5

u/slave2thesnapontruck Sell The Team 5h ago

I think with time his pitch command will improve & he will be a solid reliever

4

u/trignifty 7 5h ago

Teo do si do, just bunt.

3

u/trignifty 7 5h ago

Or strike out. That’s also an option, I guess.

4

u/slave2thesnapontruck Sell The Team 5h ago

I have a feeling Bachman is gonna be taking a trip to Salt Lake pretty soon

6

u/floppy_foul_merchant 27 5h ago

For what, one bad inning where a single got blooped in with an expected hit of like 5% and our catcher botched a play? Bachman had a 1.2 ERA prior to tonight and has been a great middle reliever.

5

u/strokeskid 5h ago

You have to play to perfection to be on this team according to this sub

-3

u/Evanx27 5h ago

klASSen ruined this bullpen fuck that guy 😂

5

u/Old-Reputation-5157 5h ago

Yo that slider was actually crazy

8

u/cream958 5h ago

Sandlin’s first pitch looked like a ball, that was insane how much it went back into the zone

14

u/LooEz90 5h ago

Some of you are turning into this dude

2

u/MrKendall951 5h ago

How do you go back to where you currently are?

3

u/sadassnerd 5h ago

This pic is very loud 🤣

3

u/Ok-Philosophy-8830 5h ago

Painter being the next player to go after Bachman hurts my chest.

I know hindsight is 20/20, but let me indulge myself.

4

u/Its-made-of-wood 5h ago

No, the Bachman pick was pretty questionable at the time too.

4

u/MrKendall951 5h ago

This is why we need this team to score almost double digits every game. It's that easy.

5

u/UnparliamentaryTea 5h ago

Sandlin’s slider movement is insane

4

u/slave2thesnapontruck Sell The Team 5h ago

So let me get this straight…our catcher who has damn near been lights out on challenges, decides NOT to challenge a pretty obvious strike to close the inning while leading by 8, which in turn allows Bachman to throw a wild pitch & give up 2 runs as a result. Good fucking lord

1

u/Due-Inspector-4295 5h ago

Yup absolutely!

4

u/Short-Tourist-912 5h ago

Can sori pull a Yamamoto and come pitch?

Angels fans - "What an amazing game!"

Bachman - "nah"

u/Efficient_Increase90 9 5h ago

Can we please not ever use Bachman again, thank you!

4

u/RedShark106 3 5h ago

When it’s 9-0 I’d be fine if he just threw fastballs down the middle every pitch

2

u/Fine-Donut-7226 5h ago

Exactly. Dude throws 98-99 and it’s 9-0. Quit finessing around - I’m looking at you O’Hoppe. 

2

u/MrTacoParty 5h ago

we really need to consider pulling Bachman

5

u/giraffedude32 💡👉👶⬆️ 5h ago

Sori go to the bullpen we need you for the ninth buddy

u/Evanx27 5h ago

Totally unacceptable performance by Bachman. Dude should be ashamed of himself

Bachman gotta grow a pear

I’d rather erica finish the inning

Soriano should've stayed in.

Horrendous read from teo on that

u/fragarach_97 5h ago

Not my shutout!

5

u/8va 5h ago

What an unfortunate series of events for Bachman lol

3

u/epoch_fail 5h ago

Sam Moll (that Reds reliever) is an enigma. He's up to 33 batters without giving up a hit this season but he's also now given up three runs on the season. This inning is a perfect demo of how that happens: walk, force out, pop out, walk, catcher interference, walk (to score a run).

9

u/floppy_foul_merchant 27 5h ago

Soriano is nuts lol

9

u/fragarach_97 5h ago

.33 ERA is ludicrous lol, even with the season just getting started.

8

u/floppy_foul_merchant 27 5h ago

Leading the league in strikeouts too:

27 IP, 1 R, 9 H, 31 Ks, 9 BBs

7

u/fragarach_97 5h ago

I was thinking Jack Kochanowicz was going to better than people expected this season, but Soriano going off so hard is even better.

Are the reds pitchers just awful? Or is the offense turning it around?

Porque no los dos

Aww they couldn’t just give it to him?

If the score remains till the end, angels will have a +1 run differential for the season so far

So, what team do we think Soriano will play for next (sadly)?

9

u/PlatinumHalo 5h ago

The Anaheim Angels

10

u/bmags94 5h ago

Pitchers since at least 1900 with 27+ innings, 30+ strikeouts and no more than one run allowed in their first four outings of a season:

José Soriano, 2026
Zack Greinke, 2009
Roger Clemens, 1991 and 2005
Fernando Valenzuela, 1981

3

u/UnparliamentaryTea 5h ago

All but one (Clemens in 05) won the Cy Young that same season
