Gameday Thread: 4/22 - Angels vs Giants

[papawealey]

Need to go watch the Canseco off the noggin replay a few times to expunge this game from memory.

[bloodbrother]

There was the fastball....and he's late on it

Light the failo

[daygloman]

Fucking disgusting game from the 1st inning on...............................

[eligrba4ever]

Oh well. 

Missed it by THAT much!!!!

[Ohtani&Trout]

1-5 at home on this homestand. That's actually a victory given how pathetic this pitching staff is. 

[nando714]

New year , same team

mike trout and then a bunch of crap

[nando714]

With some luck and a few mid-season moves, they should finish near .500

I can't recall if I predicted 79 wins or 83 wins. That was during spring training and I didn't bookmark it.

Somewhere in that neighborhood looks good at the moment.

The Astros are going to send limousines to the airport just to make sure the Angels arrive safely.

Houston pitchers will have visions of greatness dancing through their heads as they lay themselves down to sleep.

Like Christmas morning for their ERA's.

Astros are taking off right now after trolling the AL West.

I don’t know if it was mentioned but Barria’s 21 pitch ML record  ... broke Colon’s 1998 record of 20 pitches.  

 

[fan_since79]

We got a little ahead of ourselves with that scintillating 13-3 start, mostly against struggling teams.

With that pitching and all the rest of it, Houston could win 110 games when all is said and done. I mean, Charlie friggin' Morton is their 5th starter?!

I'm liking the idea of knocking the Twins out of the second wild card, then finishing off the Yankees with Richards on the mound and Ohtani blasting three home runs in the Bronx.

Thank God the Angels don't play the A's next.

I think I said 87-89.   I think it will be around there maybe a couple more. 

[Angel Oracle]

Still going with around 85 wins

Pitching will be a question mark for a while.

[TroutField]

Damn 1-5 homestand, not really what we were expecting. Oh well, it’s a long season full of ups and downs. I think we all knew going in we didn’t really stack up with Boston and Houston but if we can get 92 or 93 wins and win the wild card game I’ll be happy. Especially with the bright spots we have in the minors. 

 

Just a bad homestand. Go get em in Houston.

So you’ve already given up on the division title

nice lol

Was at the game today and a lot of people were hoping that Sosh would have gone with the pinch-hit with Valbuena up with the bases juiced. It didnt TOTALLY backfire with Rivera getting on base as the tying run but was Pujols on a strict off-day and off-limits to pinch hit?

[Troll Daddy]

Fans went crazy
