Gameday Thread: Angels vs. Twins (5/12/2018)

[jonickell25]

Another wasted game because of poor situational hitting. Let's be honest. They've had plenty of chances. Bullpen actually gave them a chance.

[kantbserious]

Hopefully Shohei will sho up.  Cuz this is getting depressing.

Watch Kole hit a 1 run homer.

One game back is out of hand?

Storm, are you watching the game tonight? I'm not saying they won't contend for the playoffs this season. But can we really expect to be a premier team when we are rolling Noe Facking Ramirez out there for 3 straight innings in May because we have no other options?

You said this season is getting out of hand.  Not the game.

[failos]

That double intentional walk by the Twins is pretty genius in hindsight. 

[UndertheHalo]

And Ramírez did a decent job.

The first two weeks sure were fun. Now it’s back to typical mediocrity.  Boston and New York let all the air out of our sails.

Since the New York series the Angels were 7-3 going into tonight's game.

Would you like to make a follow-up stupid statement?

This looks like a team that may scratch out a second wild card, then get destroyed in New York or Boston in the play-in game.

[Docwaukee]

we'll hit a solo hr and then Trout will end the game on another 100+ mph ball hit right at someone.  

[Glen]

We're gonna get Rodneyed again.

After 2IBB, he should send PH 

Ok this is getting frustrating.  Who the F should pitch hit? Ohtani is schedule to pitch tomorrow.  And even if he did PH who the hell plays first base if ohtani doesn't get a walk off.

[Ohtaniland]

Walking Albert was the difference maker. F'n genius.

If we're even after 6, we're done in any playoff.

Yeah, because four and a half months from now all threeteams will be exactly the same as they are now.

[bloodbrother]

While we're all saying "at least they face Rodney", Twinswin is saying "at least Rodney gets to face Calhoun and Rivera"

[UndertheHalo]

Rodney is trash so there’s some sliver of hope here.

Everyone is a genius with hindsight.

we really need to win the division, beat Indians and you're already at the ALCS.

WC leads to BOS/NY then ALDS against the other - have to beat the two best teams to get to same spot.

I like the Upside that Pujols and Kinsler will bring us in September.

[bloodbrother]

Can Rodney throw about 13 more pitches exactly like that pls
