Gameday Thread: Orioles @ Angels 7/26/2019

I guess let him pitch and save the most of the relievers 

[Reveille1984]

Hopefully we can somehow snag Gerrit Cole this offseason along with having Ohtani pitch again in 2020.  That along with maybe trading for a mid-rotation guy should put us in a way better spot next year.

Angels are crashing back down to reality.

Baltimore up 7-0 and still stealing bases on the Angels.  

Apparently they haven’t had many 7 run leads this year it appears.

[Jay]

Shit though, imagine the pressure Trop feels.

Yeah dude, we're fuckin circling the drain, and you're the stopper.

 

[Stradling]

It’s early, let them steal their bases.

Especially when those dudes were drawn and quartered, that was fkn gnar.

[Reveille1984]

Thaiss/Rengifo have been Dumb and Dumber in the infield the past few games.

Henry was not the forgiving type 

[Duren, Duren]

Better have this reality check now than coast to the deadline after the Dodger games. No chance to continue with any delusions of grandeur.

17 runs allowed against the worst team in 20 innings? 

Tough for the fans there. Reminds me of the game I attended last year when Seattle scored 7 in the first. 

Tropeano is just who he is. But at this point keep him in all nine innings. Helps his ERA possibly and saves everyone else. Probably his only game in the majors this year so let him work!

 

[Dtwncbad]

Watching this game is the exact reason I have rolled my eyes every single time I have seen Nick Tropeano’s name mentioned in any comprehensive look at Angel starting pitching.

He is not an asset.  He is a body.  Any team can throw a random AAA starter out there in an emergency.  That’s all this guy is.

[Angel Oracle]

This is possibly it for Tropeano as a MLB pitcher after this season.

His stuff isn’t there, and neither is the command.

[Claude]

Upton is so clutch. 

 

[Stradling]

Well if he would have gotten a hit you would have said he only came through because they were down by a touchdown.

[bloodbrother]

Another quality pitching performance from the Halos I see

Arte would have to go after the luxury tax to do that.That's not going to happen.

We have $135M commited to 2020 (without potentially trading Calhoun's $14M) and the luxury tax is $206M.  How exactly is signing Cole putting us over the luxury tax?

[Jay]

Thaiss with the HR...!

We're right back in it.

 

[PattyD22]

Thank god the Orioles like to issue 2 out walks and give up 2 out home runs also.  

Its like looking in a mirror

[eligrba4ever]

You can put it on the boioaaard!! YES!!!

Won't get skunked tonight!!!! Oh, and just  six more runs to get a lead!!!

[Angel Oracle]

Is Simba still hurt?

His offense has been terrible since returning from the DL.  OPS is now down to .694.

I’m not sure AO.  I have noticed since his return he seems to be trying to pull almost every pitch, like Pujols does.  When Simmons uses the middle of the field, he is very successful and gets streaky hot.

Just an observation.
