Gameday Thread: Angels vs. Padres (3-21-2021) Ohtani on the mound & leading off!

[Tank]

Rendon looks odd in the batters box, like he was just handed a bat for the first time 20 minutes ago and told to go get a hit.

It does look kinda awkward. Especially if he gets fooled.

Adell rubbing off on all of our right fielders.

It's not easy

Lagares or Ward for RF. 

[Slegnaac]

Are Minor League fly balls really that different from Major league fly balls?

[Bronson]

Fowler fucked up the whole inning.

The lights are different

[Bronson]

I don’t want to see Buttrey pitching late in close games.

[Bronson]

Lol wtf was that Albert?

[Chuck]

Taylor Ward is slashing .353/.478/1.066 with a HR and SB this spring across 13 games this spring. Ward looked really comfortable in RF last season and this spring. 

Juan Lagares is slashing .379/.400/.848 with 0 HR, 3 SB and has looked great defensively this spring. 

Dexter Fowler is slashing .136/ .160/.478 with 1 HR and hasn't looked very spry in RF this spring.

What do we need a DH for anyway?

Maddon may give the veteran the benefit of the doubt heading into ST, but I suspect Lagares and Ward will both make the team and they could chew into Fowler's playing time if he continues to look washed up.

Not sure there is room for Ward...we’ll see.

4 innings, 2 hits, 1 run, 2 BBs, 5 Ks

2-2 with a BB

Sold 50 beers and 100 popcorns

(Well maybe not that last one)

[Vlad27Trout27]

yeah, Fowler is done, does provide much, rather go with Ward/Lagares.
