Gameday Thread: Angels vs. A's (4/7/2018)

[tdawg87]

And there it is.

[IheartLA]

why does parker twitch himself like he's on crystal meth before every pitch...

[laagamer]

ffs.........................................................................

[tdawg87]

Upton might be retarded. 

[HeavenlyHalos]

Upton is so freaking bad in the field.

[IheartLA]

LOL

[eligrba4ever]

Oops. Lost in the lights.

[Waybackman]

 

We've become the A’s.  

[DMVol]

I don’t think Upton will win a Gold Glove this year...just my opinion though....

[JarsOfClay]

The lights is no excuse, I've never seen an angel LFer have trouble with them before.

[tdawg87]

And now the wheels come off. 

Parker is awful. 

[eligrba4ever]

Back to a 3-run game. Not many outs left.

[Amazing Larry]

Game over. 

[laagamer]

Anybody know anything else that's worth watching right now?

[Waybackman]

How can we compete with this bullpen? We’re not going to score 10 runs every game.

Sosh should have pulled Parker after that 4 pitch walk. Game over now

Yea, when back to back games your starter is gone by the 3rd inning, you have to get innings out of guys.

You start by getting your starter to go 6 innings.

We’ve got a pretty full pen....but not enough to deal with crappy starts last night and tonight....

The pen had to go 8+ innings the last 2 nights in a row.  You cant just pull guys after 1 batter with the pen so overworked.

 No shit, but you literally can’t do what you are asking in this situation.  Yesterday our starter didn’t make it out of the 2nd inning.  Today he made it all of two innings.  

[Waybackman]

Guess we’re not going to win every game.

[laagamer]

Please Sosh, just pinch hit Ohtani in the 9th. Make this game worth watching.

[IheartLA]

Pujols has 4 years left on his contract,

Ohtani will hit 3-4 times a week,

Our top prospects are all OF's who are 1 (Jones) or 2 (Adell, Marsh) years from being ready to contribute in the ML's,

Upton can't field at 30, at 32 he will be basically a hit only player

Our DH spot is going to be overflowing if it isn't already.
