Gameday Thread: Angels vs. Rangers (8/9/2020)

[Angel Oracle]

Best arm - RF

Ability to be a leader in the OF, have range, and have a solid enough arm - CF

Anything other than those - LF

Good response. So in other words, when was the last time Trout played RF? 

Trout's arm is decent/solid, but not RF quality.   Plus, he's a leader and has the range for CF.

Dude, it’s obvious you never played competitive ball.  Little league and HS JV don’t count. So sick of hearing you splinter pickers talk like you understand the game when in reality the closest you have come to competitive play is via MLB the Show!

Please tell us about your athletic accomplishments, Al.

Mt. Davis sounds more appropriate, and yeah, made a decent looking stadium look ugly and introduced us to Tarpy.

SS Al Davis is the ship-like building. Not the old man.

Yup. Only because you said it with such certainty. 
 

And actually I just went through my notifications and found the one you quoted. Took about 30 seconds.

I see Stradling Liked your comment! Cool, I promised Chuck I would lay off your bud Stradling  since it appears like he got his feelings hurt....so I will comply!  But I digress...never played an inning in my life. I know nothing about the game other than MLB the Show. 

You don’t have to lay off of me.  I have zero problem telling people how I feel.   You want to make your entire contribution to this site to be that of a jackass, go for it.  You’ll be like mini me, minus the actual content.

Anyone know why the Rangers have their turf watered?   It played havoc throughout the weekend.

I don’t think that’s water.  My guess is it’s the ground up coconut shells and sand and bits of recycled tires they pack into artificial turf now.  It does kinda look like water flying up though, especially when the ball bounces or an outfielder tries to make a sliding catch.
