Gameday Thread: Tigers @ Angels (6/18/2021): Rengifo in for Fletcher at 2B, still no Rendon

[Revad]

We might want to hang on to Upton….

[Blarg]

This is entertaining.

Upton EN FUEGO!!!

[eligrba4ever]

Fun chyron on Ohtani: First ever with 20 homers hit and 70-plus strikeouts of opposing hitters.

[T.G.]

It's nice to see Rengifo and Ward playing well

[Blarg]

Taylor Ward is en fuego.

[failos]

Ward is killing the ball

[Revad]

Ward might stick.

[Inside Pitch]

Upton is done and can't catch up to FBs....   At least that's what the Canadian that said the Angels ruined Ohtani and that he would never be a two player told me.

[Blarg]

Upton is running like he is 25. 

[Jason]

I like the Tigers more than the A’s

Sandoval, Suarez, Walsh, Ward, Rengifo albeit its only been a couple days....   They really would be in so much better shape if those guys can establish themselves this year.

Vlad Jr says hi 

Considering Ohtani offense and pitcher Vlad Jr is in 2nd place.

If they carryover what they are doing now then Free Agency for fielders is a waste of time outside of a real good backup catcher.

[tdawg87]

I think a 9 run lead should be enough. Could be close though.

[eligrba4ever]

Was Daron a bat boy or a ball boy 35 years ago?

[Blarg]

I doubt Ward's offense is sustainable, this is definitely a hot streak but if it levels off but stays poductive then Adell or Marsh is going to have to show something really convincing to get any play time when rosters expand.

Listening to Gubi talk about CRod, he's describing a SP.   If only they were developing him as such.

nope.  need him at the major league level to help protect 9 run leads.

He is absolutely on a tear right now but he also went through a spell early on where he was hitting lasers and had nothing to show for it.   

He hasn't looked overmatched in a long time.

[failos]

Is there 1 person in the bullpen who isn’t awful?

Chuck Finley spent his first two seasons as a relief pitcher and carved out 3 spot starts his second season. They used him for long relief, like they have been using C-Rod.
