Link to the Japanese wikipedia article for "Still, the Angels lost:"

https://ja.wikipedia.org/wiki/%E3%81%AA%E3%81%8A%E3%82%A8

quote:

"" E " is an abbreviation for "The Angels lost the game," and is a kind of Internet slang unique to Japanese media .

Overview
Ichiro , who transferred to the Seattle Mariners in the off-season of 2000, showed great success, such as breaking the MLB season hitting record, but the Mariners had a dark period ( 2001-2012) while Ichiro belonged. Because I was greeted, there were many developments such as "Ichiro is active, but the team loses". For this reason, the Japanese media began reporting on Ichiro's success and saying, "In addition, the Mariners lost the game" (abbreviated as "Naoma").

Currently, although Shohei Otani , who belongs to the Los Angeles Angels , is showing an active performance in both pitching and batting, the team's results are not good, so it is reported that the Angels lost the game. In the case of Otani, since he is a two-way player of pitching and hitting, it is common to see a pattern in which he throws well as a pitcher, acquires the right to win the pitcher, and after he leaves, the following pitchers are driven in and Otani's victory disappears, and this is also " In addition, it is said to be e."

"Examples
An example where Otani played an active role but the team lost.

He showed 2 home runs and 3 RBIs in the match against the New York Yankees on June 29, 2021, but the team lost 5-11.
In the match against the Kansas City Royals on June 22, 2022, he played an active role in hitting 2 home runs, including tying 3 runs in the 9th inning, and hitting his own record of 8 RBIs, but the team was 11-12 after extra time. defeated. Among fans, it is regarded as a symbolic match of "Naoe".
He hit two home runs against the Oakland Athletics on July 4, 2022, and hit seven home runs for the entire team, but the team lost 7–8 .
In the game against Baltimore Orioles on July 2022, 7, he showed 3 hits including a home run, but the team was hit in the bottom of the 4-2 inning and suffered a come-from-behind goodbye loss."



I love how aware Japanese fans are about this meme. It also originated with Ichiro and the Mariners so ultimately, it's Seattle's fault per usual.

Correct me if I'm wrong, but weren't the Twins right there in the AL Central division race (if not leading it) by the time the deadline came around? Hindsight and all, but they would have been blasted if they traded away their best player.

Kirios
Jan 26, 2010




Yeah I'm sorry Paracaidas but I can only see your points as ones made with the power of hindsight. You cannot expect the Twins FO to think "Well we're winning but this is clearly unsustainable so let's dump Correa!".

IIRC his range is the best in baseball and matches Correa in 2021. That makes up a ton over the "boneheaded" mistakes.

Yeah Astros fans have been ripping into Yordan at home this post season for a mediocre performance.

Oh wait we're actually nuanced (Yes even the Trashtros fanbase understands this) enough to not boo someone for a sample size of four games. Only entitled manchildren do that.

Dude how many were you even alive for? How many do you remember?!

That 27 trash is why you're an awful fanbase that no one likes. There's a reason why you're the one team people would rather root for the cheating franchise over.

Apparently both FOs agreed on a Willson for Urquidy deal with the Astros, but Astros ownership said no.

That would have been a horrible trade for the Astros and a brilliant one for the Cubs. Crick is lucky Crane overruled him.

It's always the same handful of posters too.

I've purposely stayed out of it as I'm sure people are sick of me talking about it. Hopefully the other guilty parties are self aware going forward.

Totally get why Middleton would tap him for interim manager - no expectations, no hurt feelings.

Except...

Rob Thomson seems like a hell of a manger. Even in the World Series there was...nothing there that I could identify as being clearly his fault. He did a great job managing that team.

It's astounding he didn't get a chance until now.

Eh that's kind of revisionist history. There were people here calling for him to pull Wheeler immediately in that situation. Whether it should have been Alvarado or not...

Bryce is getting TJ, out for the first half of 2023:

It's not entirely surprising, but it means the 2023 Phillies will likely regress.

Big Mean Jerk posted:

Getting Abreu means Yuli is gone, he ain’t coming back unless he works for free.

JV is also gone because Crane is completely opposed to the terms he’s looking for. I’d be happy to get Uncle Mike back, but that seems like a longshot now.

I'm honestly okay with that if they get an outfielder. JV is a GOAT for us but that contact will be hard to swallow. SP is easily our strength.
