Gameday Thread: Angels vs. Twins (5/13/2018) No Trout

[laagamer]

If this were a HS game we could re-insert Ohtani into any position but pitcher or catcher, because he started the game. 

 

If only, if only...

Flaming Cheetos in for the hold. 

That’s the only thing that’s made me laugh this whole game. Thanks 

[Blarg]

You angst ridden bitches all act like the Angels are behind by five runs. Lighten up, this is baseball. 

[Stradling]

I find it pretty easy to believe that Sosh is getting shit on instead of the ump that caused this.  If you don’t agree ask yourself how mad you’d be at the ump if Ohtani struck the guy out only to have it called a foul tip.  

[Adios]

We have had several chances to get the big hit and score more runs and have failed every time.  This team isn't clutch.  I hope they can somehow win but honestly I am expecting another heart breaking loss.  Surprise me guys.

The gameday threads are for venting.

[Ohtaniland]

Raggedy Ann has an issue

[bloodbrother]

Wonderful....Middleton hurt again

[laagamer]

There goes one of our only semi-decent relief pitcher!

 

...I'm struggling to watch the end of this game...

[Blarg]

Oh... 

 

Shit. 

[Blarg]

Cheetos flamed out.

Great... I look back at this message board thinking that Middleton might be able to go another inning with another quick out... look back at the tv and see him coming out due to injury... LORD JESUS SAVE US

[IheartLA]

Ahhhh man..

[fan_since79]

Middleton headed to Witness Protection.

Next!

[Ohtaniland]

Laughing at Cano brought bad karma.

[robblin17]

These pitchers are a bunch of bitches.

Well at least we know who leaves to bring in Blake Wood.

The outlook on the Angels bullpen

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Eppler, time to do your thing... We need help. Offense will be OK soon but the pen won't.

[laagamer]

Yo check it out! Eppler already trying to make moves after Middleton goes down!

I have the game on mute... looked pretty clearly like a foul tip into the dirt to me. I'm not sure why everyone is making a big deal.

I saw the replay, pretty sure it was a swing and miss, but I only saw it once.

Problem is that teams aren't really in sell mode in mid-May. I mean, obviously the Royals and Reds aren't doing anything this year but they aren't gonna sell guys off this early in the season because it's a bad look on their fan base to admit "season over" in May

The Angels have to unfortunately just try to bear with things in the pen for at least another month. They're in good shape for WC2 right now and just need to stay on par with Toronto, Seattle, and Minnesota until upgrades are made available via trade
