Gameday Thread: Angels vs. Diamondbacks (9/15/2020)

[Bronson]

This team will be good next year if this actually address the pitching in the offseason. 

[Angel]

Ah looks like a joined at a good time, almost a new ballgame.  Lots of tears in this thread lol, hey look I can float!

only if he stays.

He is going to walk the first chance he gets which is fine since he’s 27 and won’t be a free agent until 33.

I think that was Davannon. 

It was so long ago, maybe it was Jeff.

[Jay]

LOL @ Doc Rivers

[Angel]

Hey look Walsh is 3-3 with 3rbi LMFAO

Balmer looks like he's wondering why it was he spent all that money on building a new arena.

He's going to get fired. 

[CaliforniaYankee]

Can they hold them scoreless?  ..  We can only hope.

He looks peeved.

In a full season we are in the hunt for a wild card.

Maybe it is more about winning right now.  Maybe Maddon is thinking, lets give the team the best chance to win, until it really isn’t realistic.  We are just about at that spot.  Hell if Houston plays .500 the rest of the way then we have to go like 10-2.  We are 7-3 in our last 10.  However if the Astros go 3-9, as they have gone 2-8 in their last 10, then it does open a door, just not very wide.  Also Seattle will have to start losing.  While all of this sounds like I am thinking it can happen, I believe in math way too much to be anything other than pessimistic.  

Yep. One of the things I appreciate about Joe Maddon is that he'll bench a veteran or top prospect in favor of someone else. 

Adell has looked like garbage this season outside of a small stretch of games. 

Taylor Ward in the meantime has looked better of late as well. Coming into tonight's game Ward has slashed .450/.522/.600 over his last 9 games. 

[eligrba4ever]

At 2:10, Denver up by 20. LOL

A full season nets us 68 wins.

[CaliforniaYankee]

That's Myers ERA ?    .054?    Wow  I guess he's a keeper. 

[Jay]

Nice, Clippers are 0-8 in games with a chance to close out and go to the Conference Finals

 

[eligrba4ever]

AD and LBJ better not take a mental vacation next week.

[eligrba4ever]

Ward appears to have become a very serviceable MLB hitter.

Possible comment later tonight in the Snakes' TV booth: "Mad Bum sure needed a game like this. It could get him on track into next season." 

Hope it doesn't happen, but there's an Angels tradition about giving pitchers new life.

That Mad Bum resurgence won't be happening tonight. His 7-run lead is down to 1.
