Gameday Thread: 8/6 Tigers @ Angels: Still no Trout, Cowart at 3rd

[eligrba4ever]

Tropeano finished after 62 pitches and 5 innings??

Vic and Gubi chatting about it.

Something gonna get checked out, methinks.

[Dick B Back]

Young now has the 2nd highest OPS in tonight’s lineup after Ohtani. Who woulda thunk it?!

[Biergott]

He hurt?

[IheartLA]

2016 was the year we were decimated by injury, same thing 2018.

2014-15 was our best chance...Facking depressing the amount of injuries to the SP.

[eligrba4ever]

Tropeano was on a roll with 8 straight outs. 

Angels pitching syndrome strikes again?

[Angel Oracle]

This is even worse than the Mets!

Will this EVER freaking change?

Does Seth Rollins have the shoulder of a 40 year-old?

[IheartLA]

Noe...wtf are you doing

I seem to remember that Trout played terribly around when he had a wrist injury last year. It seems like he's hurting a lot too, even if he comes back it might not be pretty.

Last year he hurt his thumb, 2 years ago he rolled over his wrist diving for a ball. He had a terrible August that year.

It's uncanny, how fragile our pitchers are. Very strange.

[Angel Oracle]

Why is Ramirez still on this roster?

2015 we had a below league average pitching staff (ERA+ 96)and a below league average offense (OPS+ 97) and we still won 85 games.

Dump this guy already. He fooking sucks 

[eligrba4ever]

Oh Noe!!

Because he's probably more reliable -- hard to believe -- than what's behind him on the depth chart.

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Noe is Noe Good

[fan_since79]

With nobody out, two of these runners will probably score.

[hangin n wangin]

Noe Ramirez sucks so much ass.

[Angel Oracle]

Yank him!

Release him!

BOO!!!!!!!!

[Broad Street]

No more Noe please

He's got an ERA of around 5.30 since early May. 

EDIT: And Scioscia seems to like that he can pitch multiple innings.  But who cares if you suck during those innings.

We threw away a 8-7 game late in the season against the A's with a bunch of errors including Giavotella being worthless at 2B.

Street gave up a 3 run HR when we were winning 3-0 in the 9th against the Astros, ball got stuck in Featherston's glove.

In 2014 G1 and G2 were really close. 2015 don't choke the Stros game and we're in the WC, then maybe Royals. 2014/15 is depressing when you think how winnable those were for us...

That’s remarkable for a reliever with a lot of innings.

Especially considering his most annoying trait (usually) is allowing inherited runners to score.

Yep, 9 of 26 inherited runners have scored against him.

[Angelsfirst]

What a double play

[fan_since79]

Wow, Bedrosian comes through!

Imagine that!

[Anaheim Ohtanitrouts]

Nice pitching by cam
