Gameday Thread: 4/22 - Angels vs Giants

Look who is batting cleanup today

 

[Angelsfirst]

Wtf! Wow, that’s actually shocking. No Albert either.

[fan_since79]

Well knock me over with a feather.

Maybe someone should check on Scioscia and see if he's okay.

[Sherlock31]

Oh my god!!!!!!!

[Dick B Back]

I see Marte has earned himself another bench day.

Pujols hits a homerun and gets benched. Typical marinara fingers.

I don’t mind Mang getting a day game off after a night game since I think he hasn’t had a day off yet. 

[fan_since79]

"But, Mr. Holmes! Pujols hit a mammoth blast last night, to the opposite field no less, and he's not in the cleanup spot today. In fact, he's missing altogether from the lineup! There's someone named Ohtani there in his place. I'm not familiar with the name. Should we not investigate this? It seems highly unusual and strange."

"Dr. Watson, you must calm down. You'll get an ulcer if you're not careful. Scioscia must have a plan. After all, he's a brilliant manager destined for the Hall of Fame, and he does not make changes like this without careful thought and deliberation. But we shall go to the stadium and have a look at this Ohtani, to satisfy your curiosity."

[Stradling]

These things like Albert getting a day off after hitting a home run are decided well before the home run.  Albert has played in every game and a Day game after a night game.   Soon we will see Simmons get a day off and Trout.

You have a ton of time on your hands.   But it made me chuckle.  I appreciate you being dumb in the best way.

LOL.

Do you have an app that automatically generates text in defense of Scioscia?

I had no idea I was defending him.  Plus I was typing it while you were copying and pasting Sherlock Holmes.   Fuck half  of you assholes hate Albert so why would I defend Scioscia when the more evil player gets a day off.  Sosh defended himself by putting Ohtani in the clean up spot.  Grow up missy.

Cueto's tough, but so are (usually) the Angels hitters.

That's funny, you seem to have the app that does just the opposite.

[CubsFan]

Is this the first time in 100 years that a starting pitcher has batted cleanup?

[tdawg87]

Pujols getting the day off and Ohtani hitting in his place is no coincidence. 

It's no secret that Arte is making bank off Ohtani and the Japanese media. How much does he make from the Dominican Republic media? Exactly.

It also happens to be Earth day. The one day a year we get to pretend to care about the environment. Earth Day rhymes with Birthday. Who's birthday is today? That's right, Muhammad, the prophet of the Islamic faith. 

Ohtani is Muhammad reincarnated. The Islamic people are funding Hispanics to help take over the Earth.

Wake up sheeple.

Pujols getting the day off after hitting a home run!? Not sure who is the Angels manager for today's game.

Just in case you haven’t noticed, Ohtani is not the pitcher.

Do you only show up when something happens with Ohtani?

He had two days off last week. He was the DH last night. Go Ohtani!

[eligrba4ever]

Albert has played in 21 of the Angels' first 21 games. That's probably why he's getting game 22 off. Just guessing.
