Gameday Thread: Angels vs. Rays (5-6-2021)

Pujols probably turns that into a double down the line, rather than a double play.

Walsh is ballin

[rafibomb]

that's why we want Walsh at 1st every day

10 strikeouts for the Tampa Bay Stantons' offense.

Hopefully, the Angels get this good pitching against the Dodgers in their next series. And I hope the Dodgers' offense become the Stantons' offense in the series with the strikeouts.

Suzuki should be next on the chopping block

[IheartLA]

Fleming is a batting practice pitcher

Shut up with the Stanton crap already.

Wait wait wait.... Herbert is an angels fan and friends with Mike Trout??? If you'll excuse me for a minute.... who am I kidding I'll only need 8 seconds.

[beatlesrule]

Okay now the Rays commenters stated that Pujols not playing last night definitely meant that it wasn't just a quick decision and had been in the works already.

I bet he pulls like nobody's business.

I really want Lagares to win this starting RF job

He might be in love with him for all you know.

not this year, the FO basically said they've made him Ohtani's personal catcher

he's been on a good run pitching wise, we need to keep building for the year and help Ohtani develop w/ continuity

catching Ohtani is not easy, it works out well for him to catch 1-2  times through the rotation

Probably goes 60 yards in the air with little effort.

Fletcher needs a couple games off. 

[beatlesrule]

Okay seriously this Fletcher chasing crap has got to stop. This is not the kind of player he is. Can someone please send someone a text message that knows him or ask our Fletcher to ask Fletcher why he is all of a sudden stinking up the joint and swinging at junk?

[Stradling]

I think it was @Angel Oracle that suggested the Angels try to trade for Adames to be our future SS, after watching him play D this week, I completely agree.

He needs to hit for solid average to put up at least a decent OBP because he's not going to walk much. It would be nice if he develops patience at the plate like Figgins once did before his career died in Seattle. 

[rafibomb]

Angels pitchers have the highest swing and miss rate in the league? Too bad our fielders have the same miss rate on the field too..

I'm a little busy right now, but I'll get on it as soon as I can.

That’s fine but I don’t want to see his mug when Ohtani isn’t pitching—but man does he suck at throwing out runners.

I play Pokemon Go with him so I can assure you that he is going to dominate the rest of the year.
