Gameday Thread: Angels @ A's (6/15/2021): Wong at 3B, Iglesias hitting 3rd, Heaney on the mound

[Chuck]

F'n Joe. Should have left Heaney in. 

[rageous]

That 6 game winning streak was just a tease.

Another great pitching change brought to you by Joe.

At least Heaney was at 98 pitches, not 78.  Shitcheck just crapped the bed.

My Angels audio is on mute and I'm concentrating on the jokes that come with Pardon the Interruption via DVR.

That's terrible and yet, probably better.

Joe Maddon just shot himself in the foot

While true, I let him face at least one more batter. In any event, Cishek should have been pulled after the third batter when it was clear he was absolute shit. Instead, a double and two more runs score.

I thought so.

I went out to water the lawn and the A's scored 3 runs.

Blow up that joke stadium with the stupid Tarpy, the stupid concessions that have no room to get through, and the stupid foul ground!!!!!!

[Vlad27Trout27]

these last 2 loses have been on Maddon once again

1. kept Bundy in too long, after his last start he had got warming up after the 2nd.

2. bring in Cisheck into situation where he sucks

Minasian shot it for him with the for the most part the crappy bullpen acquisitions.

[eligrba4ever]

No joke from PTI, but CBA issues might make July 4, 2022 Opening Day.

[fan_since79]

My brother and his son are at the game.

Very small crowd. Only 4,900.

the Angels pen is just outright dog shit.

For what seems like the 1 millionth time. 

Heaney still had some gas in the tank. WTF

[HeavenlyHalos]

LOL, Wong is so bad.

Oh, I would have too or you know, I'd have Chris Rodriguez up.  I was just saying it wasn't the typical early bullpen call where the SP isn't close to gassed.

So, is this really CRod's role?  He's the RP that gets into games as mop up work?  Cause Lol.

I wanted C-Rod to get some work in yesterday's game. His stuff hasn't looked as sharp since his return (albeit 2 outings) and I would rather see him in this situation than a high-leverage one. But I'm in the boat of if he's only pitching these multi-inning outings once or twice a week might as well send him to Triple-A to get work in as a starter.

Figuring out Maddon's pitching management is like trying to understand women.

[rageous]

Now he brings in C-Rod.

Too little and too late.

[fan_since79]

We get swept, we're 9 games back.

Sellers.

Except nobody will want the trash the Angels are selling.

Try to talk someone into trading for Bundy.
