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

[fan_since79]

Albert already said he doesn't care about getting to 700 home runs. He can read the writing on the wall.

Maddon ain't no Scioscia.

Benching both of them and making this statement is so non-Scioscia. Good for Joe. 

In fairness we had no adequate replacement to Pujols  until this year.

Fletch grounded out but saw 8 pitches

In those hideous Rangers uniforms,, Lance Lynn looks like a lighter colored version of Violet Beauregarde

[Stradling]

I love the colorful uniforms of the 70’s and 80’s.

Liked the move to bring Trout down to the 3. 4-9 are struggling. Put your two best OBP hitters infront of him and hope Trout gets the Job done.

except neither one got on base

[GrittyVeterans]

I didn’t quite realize how great Lynn has been since going to the Rangers

[GrittyVeterans]

Wow. Beginning to wonder about Rendon now. He’s getting blown away up there

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Hopefully Readon remembers how to hit before September...

But still has a healthy OBP- if having three right handed hitters in a row is acceptable he should be in front of Trout instead of La Stella

The Angels did a massive favor for the Rangers in throwing all that money at Rendon and letting them have Frazier for peanuts

You seriously think Rendon isn’t going to be great?  You aren’t this kind of reactive person.

I’m not really worried about Rendon. He’s going to provide us some great offense and defense for years to come. I just think this pandemic baseball season and schedule has thrown some players off. It’s a league wide issue. This has a lot of star power players looking bad.

Well I am basing it off of how long he stayed on the Upton bus.  Sure he comes off as negative but it usually isn’t about a player it is usually about the front office.  

[Stradling]

I am now going to get @Lou’d

[Stradling]

That might have been a missed call there

And now they might get the call right.

Well tomorrow is going to suck.

Jo needs to humble himself a bit if not it appears this league will do it for him very quickly
