Gameday Thread: Angels vs. Astros (4-23-2021)

[Turd Ferguson]

Angels bringing back the "Rolaids Relief Man of the Year" since all these dudes give me heartburn.

[Angels 1961]

Joe you want to play like 1985 Heaney stays in game. 

[Blarg]

Heaney should code red him tonight after the game.

[jonickell25]

It really shouldn't be that hard. Rodriguez, Mayers, Iglesias 

[tdawg87]

I mean this shouldn't surprise anybody.

This is not a good team.

[Chuck]

I was busy this evening, saw the 2-0 score and Heaney's line and thought to myself... Please Maddon let him go the distance. 

Turned on the game after I took a piss, Slegers offered up a two-run HR. 

Fuck you, Maddon. 

[stormngt]

Another blown save.  Just guessing 4 attempts 2 blown saves?

50/50 just like last year.

He was over 100 pitches and gave up a double. I don't mind him being pulled...but for Sluggers? C'mon...

[Chuck]

Is this game under protest over the shit call against Walsh in the 1st inning?

Mota? Savvy call by a veteran (Grienke?). WTF

[Vlad27Trout27]

IDK if that was the right move or  not as Gurriel usually kills us in these situations.

When you say this team isn't good, you're going to get called out. Feel free to leave if you don't like it. 

Chuck, there are holes everywhere that prevents them from run prevention. They are not good.

[Blarg]

Just retire already!

Stupid statement. 

They're playing without Trout, Rendon and Stassi tonight and Heaney pitched a gem. 

Use your brain old man. 

[Skankhunt42]

As a team, they're not good. They have some great players but not a good team. Big difference. 

[Blarg]

We have witnessed multiple games of failing miserably at RISP and then poor bullpen outings. It may straighten out but right now I don't see much winning against teams that have a more balanced make up.

[beatlesrule]

The Angels have 10 hits. 10. Only having 2 runs to show for it is pathetic.

Just the other day you talked about sample size with regards to player.... and here you are. Hypocrite. STFU and watch the game, there's 162 in a season and it's just April.

Chuck, that is just some of the reasons but there still is the problem of lack of depth, Pujols wasting a roster spot and no designated right fielder. 

It means they are not good. They need to make roster changes. Just returning a couple players from the IL isn't going to solve all their problems.

Meanwhile this is a very loud house of fans. 

[HeavenlyHalos]

Bring back the vent thread! This is the perfect series to let out the frustration lol

I hear you on Pujols, you won't find a fan anywhere on this website of his during his Angels tenure. I just wish Maddon had the balls to bench him. 

I'd rather have Thaiss, Ward or Sum Yung Gui in place of his. 

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

Lol these threads get so emo. Take a chill pill and step back for a couple minutes. Its fair to say this is a bad team. Its also fair to say that its still April and we have some injures. Rendon is a big missing piece, yes..but Stassi isn't going to make or break our season.

There are definite warning signs right now though. We're 4-6 in our last 10 and just blew a gem pitched by Heaney...we are shitting the bed with RISP lately, too...

But its only April so why doesn't everyone just chill the fuck out?

[Blarg]

Fuck, they are doing the wave.

[Angels 1961]

Why would an ace pitcher want to pitch for Maddon, he does not know how to handle pitchers.

@Blarg when are you meeting up with @Crampknees?

[Chuck]

Mike Mayers pitching angry. I love it!
