Gameday Thread: Angels vs. Padres (9/03/2020)

[Revad]

Time for the bullpen (arson squad).

[Justin]

Runner at 2nd, no outs, fail to score him. What do they think this is, extra innings?

[DMVol]

Needed a run or two there....

[eligrba4ever]

GO ANGELS!!! 

Totally forgot about 4 p.m.

Great 7 innings by Heandog!!!

 

[Docwaukee]

Heaney puts on his big boy pants and goes 7ip with 117 pitches.  That's kinda bad ass.

Yeah I'm tired of these unis, bring on some new colors.  White on white is.... not intimidating.

Yeah because that’s what intimidating to players... the uniforms. 

[Stradling]

Imagine being a grown up and being intimidated by uniforms.

If Trout under-performs this season do MLB players lose value?

 

'Best player in the sport' under-performing on his second contract year

[AngelsLakersFan]

Rendon is the best player on this team.

[fan_since79]

I feel good with Pena going for the save.

HELL NO! 60 games this season. Stupid to have that small amount of games. Anyone can look disappointing if you take a 60-game-stretch from their game logs. 

[Angel]

60 games is close enough for judging All-Stars, 90% of the votes are cast in the same period.  You sound so confident that another 20 games he would be fine, what if not?

[DMVol]

That is why I hate the thought of Simmons leaving....but it may have to be....

Trout might only be the 4th best player on the Angels this year.

[daygloman]

Far out!

Light up the Halo!

[fan_since79]

Pena, our new closer?

Why not!!

Go back and check out Trout's slash line in the second half of 2014. It was like 60 games. It was the Year of the Pitcher in 2014 but he wasn't quite up to his standards. This season? You can throw it in the trash can with Trout if he struggles.

[Stradling]

So if we can’t judge Trout in 60 games I guess we can’t judge Upton or Adell. 

[Justin]

That might be my favorite Heaney performance. 

[Jason]

I think that’s two good starts in a row from Heaney. That’s awesome 

[Bronson]

I really don’t think we should get rid of Simmons.

[Stradling]

Heaney did great tonight!

Absolutely no reason not to give it a try at this point....
