Gameday Thread: Angels @ Athletics (May 27th, 2021) Ohtani's start pushed back to tomorrow, in lineup!

[Blarg]

Basset has been pretty efficient and the Angels pretty mediocre on offense. He could log 8 innings tonight.

[Jay]

So I'm watching MLB.TV on Chrome.

Kind of a weird thing, it auto-mutes when the commercials come on.

And then when the game comes back on it usually un-mutes but sometimes stays muted.

Man I wish my MLB.tv would do that on my Firestick app.

Just keep it close and turn it over to the bullpen. 

Wait... 

[Inside Pitch]

Well, cant complain about what Sandoval gave them.

[Chuck]

Yeah, I don't see Fletcher ever getting back to the leadoff spot. 

What a terrible approach at the plate.

He did really well considering. 

I'd really like them to just let him start the rest of the season.

I liked seeing him pitch to contact and getting ground outs. Trying to strike everyone out on a garbage pitch just doesn't work, especially against the A's. The Angels need to steal the A's hitting and pitching coach in the off season.

Well, not trying to play like it's 1985 all the time might be a good start.  The Angels were 5th in MLB last year in walks...  This year...  not so much.   I get wanting guys to be aggressive, but c'mon.  

I don't think it's the hitting coaches, I think it's the game plan.

This Slegers guy, scares the shit outta me every time he comes into the game.

5 straight scoreless outings so you already know he was due to give up some runs.

[UndertheHalo]

Here’s Creed live. 
 

 

[PattyD22]

Matt Olson with a big “F you” to your shift, Coach.

When your pitcher can’t execute his pitch to justify the shift, it might be time to re-evaluate who you have on the mound.

Sandoval deserves it

[UndertheHalo]

Creed is what I think of that double. 

[daygloman]

Oh for fucks sake..........................

[rafibomb]

Fletch no...

[Justin]

I am really not enjoying Fletcher this season.

[nando714]

Fletcher has been a$$ all season 

[AngelsLakersFan]

Fletcher has looked pretty shitty on defense this year as well...

[Vlad27Trout27]

The shitty defense and pitching strikes again.

[HanfordGuy]

Stinking errors.

[UndertheHalo]

Pretty cool

Shitty offense too

[AngelsLakersFan]

That's three runs on the defense right there...

[daygloman]

Bummer.
