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

[fan_since79]

Ohtani is a mystery. A can't-miss superstar in free fall. He might soon be out of baseball the rate he's going.

Find some coaches who can save his career.

[Slegnaac]

Don't be surprised when Simmons gets the day off tomorrow.

Have to keep Fletcher and Tommy in the lineup.

Hey Eppler, all 3 A’th relievers have sub 2.50 ERA!

What’s your problem?

This franchise is a total mess.

Thanks Arte!

Well AO they were also in the 4’s last year.  Because they are relief pitchers and they are volatile.

True

Ours, except for one year each of Robles and Petit, have been mostly bad since Eppler arrived.

[HeavenlyHalos]

WTF TROUT?

[JustATroutFan]

Stupid approach by Trout continues. Please, end this fake season!

It isn’t a fake season, Trout was fooled.  It happens to the best of them.  

[SoWhat]

We’re now #2 in the reverse standings. Rocker or Leiter?

[fan_since79]

Disjointed lineup, force feeding Adell before he's ready for solid food, Rengifo probably not ready, Trout with the power but average slipping with a lot of K's. Ohtani MIA.

Horrible RISP and AVG with bases loaded. Tons of LOB.

Then there's the $50 million tied up in Upton and Pujols. 

Oh, and most of the pitchers who suck.

Fake crowd noise in Oakland is terrible. Sounds like they are using my sisters boom box from 1988.

[fan_since79]

Good news! Rotolo Chevrolet will bring the fun to you!

 

[fan_since79]

Okay, so Goodwin is completely lost now.

Fine Young Cannibals never quite got their due 

[fan_since79]

Adell overmatched here in a big way.

[daygloman]

And that's THAT!

Gad..................... What a drag!

Go Halos!

Tell Marsh he needs to outperform Pujols at first, keep Goodwin and develop pitching

Extend Simmons, they should get a team friendly deal.

Fletcher at 2nd, and keep La Stella at first.

Thais can platoon with La Stella at first.  

La Stella and Reningfro rotates as back up infielders.

Nothing is wrong with our catchers.

Outfield of Adell, Marsh, Trout and Goodwin as 4th OF.

Convince Pujols to retire.  He is in his last year.

I have no idea what we do with Upton.

Go over the cap for one year (pujols contract is off the books in the following year)

Hard to judge Trout in a fake season. 60 games, just remember that.

Ok, so how is it a fake season right now?  Wouldn’t it only be fake when they don’t play a game 61?  

[fan_since79]

Couldn't Maddon have put a play on at least with Rendon on and nobody out?

 

[hen3ry]

Seattle won today, so the Halos are officially dead last in the American League.   The only MLB Team doing worse is the Pirates, and they're only one game further under .500 than the Angels.  

 

[bloodbrother]

Big loss for the Halos as they move ahead of Seattle for 2nd worst record in MLB. Doubt they can pass up the Pirates for worst team in baseball but you can't discount this team's ability to try
