Gameday Thread: Angels @ Cubs (03/14/2021) 1:05pm start

[jsnpritchett]

With the clocks moving forward, we're now in alignment with the time in AZ, so most games will be at 1:05/1:10.

 

[Angel Oracle]

Everyday lineup, sans Ohtani the day after pitching 

[jsnpritchett]

8 innings today. 

[Taylor]

Sweet, I get to see the real lineup! With it being an away game I was worried they'd start the B squad.

[Angels 1961]

After 9 inn yesterday my couch was hoping for 7 inn game.

[ThisismineScios]

I thought every game going forward was going to be a 9 inning game? 

Also 4 likely bullpen guys coming in after. I doubt Rivera makes it at this point, and Maddon said as much. Kind of stinks that it will come down the fact that he had Visa issues. Those 4, Farria (or Guerra), Claudio and Barria? I imagine they keep Sandoval stretched out at AAA because he has options.

Cubs' stadium (Sloan Park) is super nice. Wow. Wide concourses, real seats, ultra modern feel. It's like a mini Petco Park.

Meanwhile, Tempe Diablo continues to look and feel like a beer league stadium.

It's definitely a major step up from Tempe. 

Effort went into that stadium. Tempe is like a LLWS park.

Someone should turn this into an old school game day thread and actually let us know what’s happening in the game for those who can’t watch it.

I'll give any AW member who's got the time doesn't have a Premium Membership (no ads - $100 value) and two tickets to an Angels game this season if they post the play by play in the Gameday Threads this season like Chonito used to do. 

PM me if you're interested in that offer.

Bundy looks just as good as last year. 
 

Retired first 3 batters on 11 pitches. Flyout to left, gb into the shift, flyout to Trout

[Stradling]

Fuck it, @Chuckster70 I’ll throw in $100 as well. I usually watch almost every game, but it’s a lot of work.  I’ll also throw together an INO gift basket. 

[Bronson]

Our pitching is gonna be sneaky legit this year. 

[axalar]

Upton safe on soft infield single to third.

Pujols GIDP.

Fowler popup to shallow left.

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Albert is getting more playing time this ST than he will get in the regular season. He has been hitting well so far in spring, but his last AB was a DP so he's already in mid-season form...

The scoreboard is little league quality.
