lmao, my bad Remedy but this was too perfect to not post. That shit was like straight out of a script. I don't know why he couldn't wait til he actually got the save like he usually does, but I guess he has to do it after ending ANY inning. This time he pointed at the dugout instead of the outfield.

Lol he deserves whatever flack he gets for this. Rodney said that the Angels fans were booing him so he was having fun with them, definitely looked like it was at the dugout though. He shouldn't have been in both innings anyways but our bullpen was so burnt from the last two games that I guess he was the only legit option. I like his flare in general but that was stupid, especially given the result. He's been nails all year though so I'm not all that upset about it. On a side note though, dude got absolutely squeezed against Trout, the guy shouldn't have walked.

Yeah for the most part I like Rodney's flare, but taunting a line-up that strong before having to face Trout and Pujols in the next inning seems like a disaster waiting to happen.

Yeah, it wasn't a smart thing to do. But at the same time, I don't really buy that doing that somehow was what cost us the game.Trouts the best in the game and Pujols was arguably that for years. I don't look at it like guys of that caliber weren't going to come through in that instance unless they were getting taunted.
