Gameday Thread 5/30: Braves @ Angels: Young leading off

[Kenny]

Albert should've charged the mound.

The whole stadium gets eerily quiet during each pitch to Albert

The AL west and NL east are hilariously bad.

NL East has like the worst pitching staffs in all of baseball. I think it was last week that I looked up team ERAs and the bottom three teams with the worst ERAs were all from the NL East. The Nationals and the Marlins, I think, were the only two teams not in the bottom three in team ERAs. Yeah, it's pretty bad.

Trout was obviously holding this team back. Good riddance.

Bunts?

Oops. During a recap, I saw an un-narrated bunt and then I saw a clip of Epinosa, who gameday said was moving to third. My bad.

9 runs 2 earned

[fan_since79]

Every single player in the Angels lineup scored a run in that inning!

I'm guessing that has never happened before for this team.

Just looked up team ERAs. Outside of the Nationals, all of the other teams in the NL East can't pitch. Check this out: Atlanta, Miami, Philadelphia, and the Mets all have team ERAs over 4.50.

Are they really in 2nd place? Not saying much because their division sucks.

Tonight is an epic battle of two, second place teams..   Quality matchup.

Newcomb could be called up any day for Atlanta. Currently in aaa Gwinnett. Currently 23 years young 

[Stradling]

I'm glad we got this kind of offense tonight.  It's nice to take a day off from what this thread will be like for the next couple months.

How many BB? That'll be the key to his success. Big leaguers won't chase balls out of the strike zone all night long.

[nando714]

Chris Ellis is in aaa but with St. Louis
