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

[Vlad27Trout27]

Maddon at it again! brings in the guys that should have pitched the 6th a inning later!

why have Rodriguez pitch now? I still have no idea what the plan is for Rodriguez. his Talent is getting wasted! if he's only going to pitch onces a week, he should in the Minors building arm strength and stamina. onces he is ready, bring him up and start.

Matty V yapping about Reggie and number 44...  Didn't Jackson wear number 9 as an Athletic save for his farewell season when he went back to Oakland?

I mean Reggie as number 44 was a Yankee creation.

[Docwaukee]

Ohtani is kinda ridiculous.  

[HeavenlyHalos]

I repeat, I have no idea why anyone throws Ohtani a fastball.

[robblin17]

Wow. At least we get to watch Ohtani. That ball was crushed. 

[fan_since79]

Shohei with a meaningless epic blast.

I agree.  That was awesome.

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

Shitcheck always craps the bed. Why is he even still on the team. The only thing he is good at is giving up runs. Please get rid of his ass ASAP

He went on a stretch recently where he walked a TON, laying off the pitcher's offspeed shit. 

Ohtani also crushes curveballs, sliders, changeups in the zone. Just sayin

Last time he was pulled after just one inning he ended up having shoulder irritation and an IL stint. I hope this isn't the same.

It's just Maddoning to watch!

Please DFA Slegers.

He's the definition of trash.

[robblin17]

Why is Aaron Slegers pitching in a MLB game?

Lol.... Wtf is his role?   This was my biggest nightmare coming into this season.   Dude is being used as a single inning RP.  What a freaking waste.

save Maddon from himself.  Make it so that whatever stupid choice he makes ends up that we get a good pen arm in there.   

[HeavenlyHalos]

Oakland really brought us back to reality in two games: Maddon is bad, the bullpen is worse, and we aren't winning the division.

The only positive is that we don't have to see c*nt-ry Joe West behind home plate.

Because apparently he was effective in AAA. I can't think of any other reason.

But he's not ready for prime time. Send him back down for the rest of the year.

How old is he? I thought he was a journeyman?
