Gameday Thread: Angels vs. Skankees (4/29/2018) No Ohtani

[Dick B Back]

CC with 7 innings, 97 pitches, 64 strikes, 1 walk... very Bartolo like. Hopefully our starters in the dugout took notes.

For those wondering, Jeremy Wade is on the Ebro River in northern Spain. 

Don't make me Google that too you A-hole

no spark with this offense, no youth/no enthusiasm other than Trout or Ohtani. Every other good team has age 25ish hitters while we're over 30

Simmons

he's also pushing/close to 30, I looked over the lineups of teams and noticed how much older our hitters are.

Bo Sox/Yankees/Cubs/Dodgers/Astros/Indians - most or majority of their best hitters are around 25ish.

[Angelsfirst]

Let’s get some damn runs.

Trout 26, Simmons 28.  Otani 23.  That's about it.

[IheartLA]

the biggest changes to jump start this offense is RF and non-Ohtani days DH.

Fernandez and Blash are my picks to get a shot.

[WeatherWonk]

End of first overtime. Still 4 to 4. These hockey team score more often than the angel offense.

ok dude respond to the entire post. Look at the top hitting teams in MLB and then our ages #1-9 and tell me we aren't an outlier.

[fan_since79]

They have to put a play on here to get Trout in scoring position. We're running out of innings.

[IheartLA]

Upton/Pujols/Simmons - this is our chance, leadoff man on

I know what you’re saying, it’s because we aren’t as far into our rebuild as they are. 

[Taylor]

Upton skus. Here comes the Pujols GIDP.

[eligrba4ever]

ESPN must have decided to show the Angels-O's game Tuesday when it looked like Ohtani would pitch.

Today's ESPN pregame show said he'd next pitch on Thursday because of the ankle issue.

[TroutField]

Upton is lost, no surprise left field and 2nd HAVE to be dead zones for the angels 

[fan_since79]

Right down the middle and Albert's just standing there.

We need Adell, Marsh, Jones, and Maitan to move through the system quickly.

[Stradling]

Why hasn’t Trout tried to steal?

[IheartLA]

FUCK so close!
