Gameday Thread: Angels vs. Mariners (8/29/2020)

[TooCool]

Very nice of the Mariners tonight to help pad all of our batters stats.

[Bronson]

Trout loves to pad his stats in blowouts.

[Angel]

Trout slump lol

[Amazing Larry]

Oh man. I knew Trout hit that out before he even made contact. That pitch was setup on a tee. 

[Angelsjunky]

Trout's batting line tonight: 4-4-3-5, 1 BB, 1 HR, 1 2B. Triple-slash: .750/.800/1.750. 

 

That's ok, I guess.

Trout has been off at the plate in this fake season with no real fans.

Trout, even though this is a fake season if he slumps at the plate.

In a fake season that should have never happened.

His first “off” year with the bat in a fake season. Time to put that asterisk right next to his numbers for 2020.

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

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

Can’t judge Trout as a hitter in this fake season. No real fans and having to worry about the stupid virus if he is not playing.

^Dedication.

Garbage player with a garbage attitude. Glad he gave up a run. lol

[TooCool]

Someone better hit a grand slam off of Lopes.

[Duren, Duren]

For those of a cynical mindset, dwelling in a hypothetical future, why not trade Adell  in the next two days? 

Quite possibly he is at max career value right now. Realistically he could easily slide back into his unimpressive form and never be more than an easy out with occasional power. 

After his two homers, other teams will be alert and interested, thinking he is a rising star.

As the mantra seems to be, buy low, sell high. He may bring a return of prospects who mature five years from now. 

Same with Bundy. Who cares if he's the best pitching acquisition in years?  Some raw, unproven prospect may help when Trout is in his mid thirties. 

Disbelieve what you see, look for the negative and place all your faith in the unknown. And trust scouting reports that usually are radically revised every year.

 

[Bronson]

Well Adell already has the post games interviews down.

Professionals are not fans. I doubt sample sizes you are mentioning impact organizational opinions on players to the point of pulling the trigger or not.

Don’t trade Bundy

So if Franklin has a two-homer game can we call it the Macho Combo Berreto?

The future was seen.. only the batter was Adell

I want Tim broadcasting our games next season, he's earned it as an all-time great Angel.
