Gameday Thread: Angels vs. Giants (8/17/2020)

[Stradling 28,130]

So Canning, who everyone on here thinks sucks, has a better ERA by a good margin, than Stripling, who everyone here thinks was the big off season mistake.

Plus the team has already relied on Rengifo heavily (though he hasn't played great) and has no use for Joc.

Dodged that bullet.

I consider Pederson a greater mistake. Then we could have benched Upton.

I mean that was Blash's problem too. So he's ground ball Blash.

I can't entirely disagree, but I think it's too early to draw a comparison. Blash was a clear train wreck from day one, Adell's problems are more subtle.

COME ON FLETCHER! GET YOUR ASS TO THIRD ON THAT!!!

For someone that is slightly better, kinda.  Dude is batting a buck fifty.

I wouldn’t have given up 6 years of Rengifo for one year of Pederson.

Rendon has been a great addition to this team!

[Randy Gradishar 1,408]

This is easily the unluckiest season in baseball history.

Pujols just needs to hit a grounder towards the right side and that would be 2 RBIs!

It was

[IheartLA 392]

Albert, Adell, Upton coming up...time to pray

[Vlad27Trout27 1,095]

That works Aswell.

[AngelsLakersFan 9,443]

Damnit Albert!

Or a line drive off the wall!

[IheartLA 392]

PHAT ALBERT!

[Randy Gradishar 1,408]

Thought that was for sure a triple for Albert.

Is Stripling better than Teheran?

[JAHV76 2,678]

Nice hit and rbis Pujols 

[fan_since79 10,878]

Albert gets more starts for those RBI's.

[Randy Gradishar 1,408]

Trade him while you can.

[Bronson 1,416]

We need to get used to seeing Adell strike out a lot... even if he does become a star at some point.

[IheartLA 392]

Adell...

[Ace-Of-Diamonds 3,799]

Adell hat trick
