Gameday Thread: Oakland @ Angels 6/28/2019 (Simmons & Upton day off)

[Claude]

Fiers 37 pitches 

Noe & Pena 64 pitches 

 

[mulwin444]

All 5 runs scored with 2 outs as well.

This offense should be abusing Fiers but he's cruising which is pretty damn annoying considering how mediocre he is..

There is no need for this Pena opener bullshit.  Skaggs, Heaney, Canning, Suarez, Barria........that's a starting 5 right?  Explain that to me in n out?

You seem like a happy fella

Sign Gerrit Cole!

Sign Gerrit Cole!

Sign Gerrit Cole!

Pena is a middle innings guy at best.

Well it might be five, but Eppler found Canning so that must mean it is only four.  It’s ok to say you don’t like Pena, without saying something stupid about Eppler.

It sure feels like the Angels give up a lot of runs, and especially a lot of home runs, with 2 outs

[Angel Oracle]

Making Matt Olson look like Trout

Doesn’t he have 2 no hitters or is that somebody else 

[mulwin444]

Pena 3 starts against the A's - 7.2 IP 14 ER

Probably a good idea to skip him when they play the A's again

If you have to gimmick start a game with some opener than it simply validates you need a better SP than Pena.

I’ll tell that to the Yankees and Rays as they are both having really good seasons and have used an opener.  You call it a gimmick because it makes it easy for you to understand.

He has been able to keep the ball in the park.

Lol...yea I get a little upset, my girlfriend dreads when the Angel's lose.  I need to not get so negative and let this shit ruin my evening.  I need counseling.

[UndertheHalo]

Pená really needs to be a bullpen guy.

He had a no hitter against Cincinnati and has owned us this season.

I’m not a fan of using an opener. I guess I’m old. 

[Slegnaac]

9 Ks and 5 ER in 4 innings.

[Angel Oracle]

Did Pena learn from Bridwell (suck only against the A’s)?

Is there ANYBODY in this rotation that pitches well against the A’s????????

[PattyD22]

This hasn’t looked like the Mike Fiers we’re used to seeing as Angel fans.

But just chip away and score a couple here and they’re right back in it.

True

He has been lucky tonight though, lots of hard outs.

So last night they had LAD vs. COL on MLB network.

Tonight they have LAD vs. COL on MLB.tv Free Game of the Day.

WTF

 

This needs it's own thread

[tdawg87]

Pujols will hit a 2 run dinger in the bottom of the 9th to pull the Angels within 6.

This game skus. My wife and I are at the game, and we watched a family eat an ice cream cone ... with forks. That was more entertaining than what's happening in the field.

You should tell them the story of Carrot Anderson.
