Gameday thread: Angels vs. Red Sox (4/17/18)

[Docwaukee]

there's a clause in Ohtani's contract that if he shit's the bed in any given start, the guy who relieves him has to do worse so he doesn't look as bad.

Ohtani's blister.

This horror show has been going on for two hours and we're only in the top of the fifth. I think I'll catch up on some Netflix cues and read this thread later.

Or not at all.

that looks more like a spot where....well.....you know.  

[Jay]

Seriously Ramirez who told you that's a good look?

[bloodbrother]

Is there some rule where Angels pitchers have to go to a full count on nearly every batter?

Haven't you heard, it's full count Tuesday.

You need to learn to turn the page.  Sometimes you turn it in the third inning.

And Albert gets thrown out.  Stupid ump.  

[Make Angels Great Again]

Albert is pissed at that POS ump.

[southpaw]

So he throws his helmet and gets thrown out?  Ridiculous!

The way this team looks now they're going to need to make that hot start last.  Regression is showing already.

Your post is in regards to tonight’s game? I think this is the best team we’ve had in years. I’m going to turn the page on this one. But your post is an overreaction. 

 

 

[Waybackman]

Albert, like all the Angels, is frustrated. That wasn’t a bad call.

 

 

[bloodbrother]

Albert wanted a head start on the post game catering

[TroutField]

When is it time to start considering an updgrade in RF? We haven’t had decent offense out of Kole since ‘16

[Docwaukee]

Boston has been pitching inside very effectively against the halos tonight.  

[Waybackman]

Porcello tomorrow. Ugh

 

[TroutField]

Upton starts every at bat 0-2 it seems

[TroutField]

I was so close to grabbing some tickets for tonight’s game, glad I passed on that. 

[fan_since79]

I've been a little distracted by work so pardon me if this has already been asked. Does anyone know what happened to Mark Langston? 

[bloodbrother]

Lmao Cam

[rafibomb]

obviously haha

[Docwaukee]

Cam is like a different guy since his surgery.  Maxing out at 94.  Haven't heard of TOS surgery causing a dip in velo like this.  Gonna be hard for him to be effective with that velo and a lack of movement on his fastball.  His hard, late breaking slider looks more like a slurve now.  

[Docwaukee]

damn.  Kole has been brutal this year.  

[TroutField]

2 day lay off then our minor league team showed, this doesn’t look like the same offense we have seen all year.
