Gameday Thread: Angels vs. Mariners (8/5/2020)

[Chuck]

Julio Teheran is set to make his Angels debut and can work up to 60 pitches. He'll be taking the mound against Mariners Marco Gonzalez. 

Ohtani is set to DH tomorrow against Taijuan Walker. 

[DMVol]

Maddon likes Ward...

[Angel Oracle]

.108 BA in the cleanup spot?

Upton batting clean up is thoroughly upsetting. That being said. He will go 4-4 with 4 grand slams tonight.

That would certainly raise his bWAR, which is somehow -0.3 after only 10 games.

From reading what Braves' fans say, Teheran sounds like the CJ Wilson type of pitcher. Even though he has given them strong starts more often than not, he is incredibly frustrating to watch almost every time. He also seems to care a lot about his hair like CJ as well.

.108 tonight. Maybe .280 in 10 days. He's streaky. It COULD happen.

[eligrba4ever]

I'll gladly take that stat line though!

I know it’s early, but should we be worried about Rendon? He has looked bad up there.

no

[rafibomb]

Is it me or are the umpires getting shittier and shittier every year

[southpaw]

It doesn’t help that there is that box graphic strike zone on the telecasts. Makes the pitches look worse. 

[Claude]

Upton’s bat is social distancing. 

[daygloman]

Go Halos!

Rendon is going to be great for us. Give him time. 

[failos]

I wish Upton wasn’t on the team. The most expendable player on the team. Hands down.

Even Albert has more value.

[Vlad27Trout27]

Haven't seen Pujols run this hard in a while.

[Vlad27Trout27]

CG for Gonzales?

He knows people make fun of his speed. It’s the competitive nature in him to try to prove the naysayers wrong.

Would love to see Maddon send Goodwin in to pinch hit for him with runners on.

Lol @ that effort Albert
