Struggling against the odds, the Los Angeles Angels have endured a string of disappointing seasons. Given that they have not made it to the playoffs for almost a decade now, it adds to the pressure. Though the team did well in the middle of the season but recent losses have put the Angels seven games behind the top spot. Their latest loss against Colorado Rockies added insult to injury. Even after Shohei Ohtani’s, another home run of the season, the LA Anges tasted the dust last night.

Even though Shohei Ohtani had a great outing but could not get his team a much-needed win because of the lack of support. Fans eagerly yearn for other players to step up and contribute significantly to the team’s success. While appreciating Ohtani for playing well, Angels fans blasted the team’s loss and shared their criticism on social media!

Shohei Ohtani shined again on the plate!

Shohei Ohtani has been a star performer for the Angels this season. He has not only been strong on the mound, but has also shown similar strength on the plate. The talented player had a strong game against the Rockies after he hit his 25th home run of the season. MLB shared the same on Twitter with the caption, “This Shohei guy is pretty good, huh? Ohtani cranks homer No. 25!”  Keeping true to his name, not only he hit a home run, but also garnered two more accolades.

Ohtani recorded an average of 0.600 with one run, 25th HR, and 59th RBI of the season to his credit. He was well-complemented by Trout, who also hit a home run, finishing the game with an average of 0.250. But Ohtani’s effort went in vain as the Angeles lost the game with a score of 7-4. Apart from him and Mike Trout, other players failed to deliver, which became the reason for the third straight loss.

Moreover, while the Angels pitched, they failed to stop the Rockies’ offense from scoring. Patrick Sandoval pitched in five innings and recorded an ERA of 4.16 and only a strikeout.

Given that it was a crucial game and fans wanted to see LA Angles win, the loss came even after the contribution from Ohtani, which left fans in pain.

Fan lambast as the effort from Ohtani goes in vain!

It is a critical phase in the season, and fans want their teams to win. But it did not happen with the Angels, who lost the game, leaving fans frustrated. They called out players for pitching poorly. Few even said that it felt like the end of the season! Here are a few more reactions on the same.

Mediocrity!

The loss has dented the positive run, fans are not happy. Also, it has come amidst Ohtani’s trade rumors and can affect his future decisions. What do you think will affect Ohtani’s decision regarding his future? Let us know in the comments!
