Gameday Thread: Angels vs. Rangers (4-21-2021)

[Angels in 2030]

Walks suck.  Only a matter of time before you pay. 

[Amazing Larry]

The hell happened? I walked away for 10 minutes and I come back to a 2 run deficit?

Joe Maddon’s never ending tinkering happened

[rageous]

I don't understand why Mayers threw Garcia a 4 seam fastball when his cutter is his best pitch.

He was up 1-2 in the count.

Maddon gonna Maddon

[CarniifeX]

Garcia is only showboating because of Mayers actions after Gallo's bunt last night.

 

Walks will come back to bite eventually. Can't tell if everyone is serious about Trout not coming through with the bases loaded earlier?

[sammyscioscia]

Yeah we're in for a rough stretch, Rangers are a more cohesive unit right now.

CRod had stuck out 4 of the 7 batters he faced but, Maddon felt the need to remove him.

[CarniifeX]

And also, the Angels are who we thought they were -- around a .500 team.

I will speak for everyone here that we wanted to see Trout get a hit in that situation

Good AW rule of thumb: If it's a complaint, it's probably serious

[Vlad27Trout27]

My biggest fear with the Bullpen is that Maddon will burn the Bullpen. so.many guys are already pitching mutiple innings and than coming into pitch back to back.

[failos]

Lol Jose Mota is saying some weird shit

Either you trust C-Rod as a RP or you don't.   It's not like his stuff was fading.

Oh yeah -- Rodriguez hasn't given up a HR yet this year and his GB rate is nearly 60%, but who needs a guy that puts the ball on the ground and K's people at will in a close game.   Not Joe Maddon..  he's too smart for that.

Mayers just threw 1 2/3 yesterday.  No reason at all to go to him today, especially against Gallo.

Mayers also did not need to pitch the extra inning yesterday either.

They just Scored 3 runs to go up 6-2 and could have just brought in anyone to clean up the 8th.

[Blarg]

Maddon picked the wrong guy out of the pen to replace C-Rod.

The issue was he horribly missed location. Catcher wanted it up and in and Mayers threw one up on a tee right down the middle thigh high

Rangers had a game plan and it worked VERY well tonight.

 

[failos]

I guess it takes a Sherlock to put Watson instead of Mayers

Some people's posts read like a baseball video game announcer's script.
