Gameday Thread: Giants @ Angels (6/22/2021): Heaney on the mound, Rendon dropped to 5th

[Docwaukee]

Too bad someone like Desclafani wasn't available in the off season when the Angels were looking for pitching.  

[Vlad27Trout27]

Just frustrating.

NO ONE CARES that Scott Bradley, the Princeton baseball coach, is in the stands tonight, Daron.

[jsnpritchett]

Ok, I'll grant that that bad hop over Fletcher's head is just flat-out bad luck.

Also, I'm gonna need a GIF of Heaney falling flat on his ass ASAP.  Thanks.

Yeah AO, he’s given up 2 home runs, but the Angels having runners on 2nd and 3rd in the first and second innings and can’t even put a run on the board is more frustrating.  Especially in the second with 0 outs.

And Rendon is now what, 0-10 since returning?

Thank you Arte.

Rendon:

[jsnpritchett]

Quintana is in, so it should be 10-0 by the bottom of the 7th.

[Angel Oracle]

Hometown fans have to be getting close to booing Rendon.

If he had enough plate appearances to qualify, he'd be 8th-worst in the AL in slugging percentage, just ahead of David Fletcher...

Not gonna happen.

I watch a lot of baseball and I’ve never seen a team that gets beat by the shift more than the Angels.  

[Angel Oracle]

Rendon now hitting .227 and falling fast to .600 OPS

Great use of $245 million and stuck with him, MARVELOUS

Let's see:

Wells, Pujols, Hackilton, and Rendon = about $650 million mostly wasted dollars

That should spell out who has messed up this franchise since 2010.

try to guess the team

- A guy hits a ball up the middle for what used to be a single and the infielder is positioned right there to make the play

- A guy hits a ball to where the 2bman is normally positioned and finds it's way into the OF because the defender is 20 feet away.

I know the answer doc, but I don’t want to spoil it for everyone else.

Nice work, offense.

 

[jsnpritchett]

This ump has been generous with low and outside strike calls on right-handed batters tonight.

[Angel Oracle]

Are we finally going to get robo balls/strikes calls with the new CBA?

@Angel Oracle you need a trip to the vent thread, dude.
