Gameday Thread: Angels vs. A's (8/21/2020)

Big moment for Adell here.

[Vlad27Trout27]

Alright I'm giving thses guys another chance....dont make me turn of my TV by the next 2 innings.

[Claude]

Adell overmatched there.

[Vlad27Trout27]

I guess these guys are taught to be dead pull hitters from day 1.

Pretty crazy that the consensus going into the season seemed to be that the Angels, Indians, Blue Jays, Rangers, and White Sox would be competing with for the Wild Cards (in addition to OAK and TB who had it last year), and that the Orioles, Mariners, Tigers, and Royals would be in the cellar.  Fast forward to day and all of the WC contenders are playing as much but here we are in the cellar with the expected Orioles, Mariners, Tigers, and Royals.  How the hell can we possibly be so much worse than last year's team after adding Rendon?

He’s been overmatched from day one...just isn’t ready....

[fan_since79]

Good AB there.

Come on Simba!

RISP 

[bloodbrother]

Angels came into today 28th in MLB in BA with RISP. That inning just helped them pad their stat

[Vlad27Trout27]

Well good thing about Adell is that he has Brought his K rate down to 44%. Slight improvements!

[fan_since79]

6 LOB in the first 4 innings.

4-22 with the bases loaded.

Fire the coaches. Fire everyone and start over.

Just checked in on Gameday. How did Pujos manage to make it to 2nd base without Rendon scoring from 1st?

Double down the left field line

[Claude]

Khris Davis is another guy that’s toast.

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

I thought without fans, I wouldn't have listen to the drums. Damn

Wonder how far they let Andrew to tonight.

70 pitches in the 4th- even if he does well he won’t make it through the 6th

[fan_since79]

Heaney is up to 70 pitches now.

Did Rendon fall down?

They were holding him at first, no lead, ball is down the left field line, only one out.

[Vlad27Trout27]

How the F are we So Bad??

we got the Astros here, that are basically running out a bunch of no names prospects and there 2nd. Than we got the As, 3/5 of there rotation has an ERA over 4, there 5 hole hitter is batting .170.....

[Angel Oracle]

An embarrassment

Maybe let him throw 100, so one more inning.

[Jay]

10 games under .500

It's like, eh... are you trying to win?

[fan_since79]

Hodgepodge, noun. 1. A confused mixture

Yep, that's us.

[Claude]

There must be something up with Ohtani. He’s 7 for 12 lifetime vs Fiers.

[Revad]

So close

You don’t find it ironic that you quit on this game after half an inning but call out the team for a lack of heart?  

Im tuning in to watch my team who has more than twice as many losses as wins and working up the energy to post on a team forum, how much more heart do I need to show? 

This team is gonna go on a ten game win streak and make the playoffs. Is that better for you?
