Gameday Thread: Angels vs. Blue Jays (5/22/2018)

[Ohtaniland]

Funny that if Kole started in this game we’re probably leading right now. 

[Lou]

Great news!

River Monsters is on.

[Ohtaniland]

This guy Clippard blows.

I wonder if Jeremy Wade can play 2b

I bet he starts tomorrow

[daygloman]

Bummer. 

Maybe tomorrow?

[fan_since79]

0-1 on the road trip.

Ugh...

 

[T.G.]

Well..  that sucked

[robblin17]

Thank you, Chris Young! Why is this guy on the team?

[nando714]

1-10 vs the AL Beast 

[TroutField]

Looks like a Mike Scioscia team, that’s for sure. 

[UndertheHalo]

It’s a long season guys.  We had a great start.  Just gotta hope we get hot again here before 2 long.  Tough game today though.  Gave it away early.  Young killed us. 

[Lou]

Cubs losing 10-0 

Fire Maddon!

[TroutField]

Love when we lose the game in the first inning. Trout would rather work a walk than swing the bat, the entire offense sucks. Defense isn’t as advertised, and Garret Richards (although he got squeezed by the home plate ump) is kind of a weak a** b****.

[stormngt]

Eppler does need to make some changes.  DFA Valbueno and Young and maybe Kinsler.  Bring up help from minors to see if they can fill the void l.  If they dont find help through trade.

Yep, Sosh is like, “Hey Billy, give me a shitty pen and a bench of Valbuena, Marte and Young, you know how I love and excel with one dimensional teams with shitty pens”

[Inside Pitch]

 

Mike Scioscia needs to plan a team field trip to a Toronto area Weight Watchers so that nature takes it's slump busting course....

[nando714]

It’s time to call up the kids

I meant how there is zero fire in any of the team, they push across one run when they are down 3 in the 8th on yet another Kinsler pop up, high fives all around guys! Great job.. 

 

4th place behind the A’s And Mariners now.. think about that, with all the talent on this team they are not better than the A’s

Yep, no matter how much they change the roster every year, it still feels like you're watching a rerun.

No, not yet. But I think we are getting close to them making a decision on Kinsler.  Give one of the kids 6 weeks to see if they are ready, if not you can go to the trade market to find a 2nd baseman.

Well it is a good thing the season is 162 games.  If you think there is a chance that either of those teams finish above the Angels in the standings, I will put my money where my mouth is.  Pick the wager, any amount, The Angels will finish ahead of both of those teams in the standings this year.

Losing 6 of 7 games to teams including the Jays and Rays. No better time than now

I think it will happen, but it won’t happen 130 at bats into the season.  He will get 200 at least.

How is it not time to DFA a guy like Valbuena or Chris Young?

Do you think they have any chance of turning it around? I just don't see the upside. At least I somewhat see the thought process with giving Kole and KInsler more time
