Gameday Thread: Mariners @ Angels (03/07/2021)

Quote of the spring so far..

"I've never done anything well with a tight butt." - Joe Maddon

[beatlesrule]

That ball just died. Thought he hit it out.

[eligrba4ever]

Hit-run blooper, deep fly ball. One Angels' run. Works for me.

[Justin]

No reason to watch now if The Machine is done for the day. 

[AngelsLakersFan]

That play... yow!

[PattyD22]

Jose Iglesias with a web gem.  Nice play.

I appreciated Gubi's story "remembering" that since this is the Angels' 60th anniversary (even though it's technically the 61st...), that 10 years ago was their *50th* anniversary.  Gotta love that insight.  That's why they pay him the big bucks.

[Second Base]

Andrelton who?

60th Anniversary.

61st season.

Gubi working barefoot somewhere doing that math.

A broadcasting team of Smith, Mota and Gubicza proves that ones ability to do a job has absolutely no bearing on whether or not one has the job.

Ngl Jose Iglesias is making it move this spring.

Whatever, at least he isn't muffled because of a face diaper.

I think the best combination would be Gubi and a face diaper that's about 15 times thicker and 3 or 4 times tighter.

[eligrba4ever]

Rengifo and Thaiss flash the defense!!!

Drew Steckenrider (guy currently pitching for the Mariners) is the only guy from my high school to ever make the majors.

Thanks for making our alma mater proud in this inning, Drew...

[Second Base]

I know it's ST and no one cares, but I wanted to watch the Mariners suffer more that inning.

[jsnpritchett]

...and now both Gubi and Mota have changed masks again.  Now they're just wearing the blue medical ones.  I don't know why it's so hard for these dudes to find a mask that works and stick with it.  They've only had a year.  Ha.

[Bronson]

The two pitchers we wanted to see the most this game and of course Maddon probably won’t put them in.

Well, as I mentioned earlier in the thread, there were 4 pitchers listed ahead of Detmers and Rodriguez to pitch after Barria, so it's not entirely surprising.  Disappointing for sure, though.

Jeff Locke was the only guy from my high school to ever make the majors.

Which is saying something because it's fucking NH.

[eligrba4ever]

Light it up spring-style!

Now on to the bottom of the sixth. M's pitcher needs work.
