Gameday Thread: Angels @ Rays (6/27/2021): Fletcher leading off, Gosselin in LF

[Taylor]

I would have Ohtani's babies.

[thebloob]

Why is anyone pitching to ohtani in any big situation?   There is no one else in the line up.

Rendon doesn't even care. Dude didn't even try to swing during that last at-bat....

Rendon hitting .175 vs lefties.

Walsh hitting .174

 

Good move.

There is a reason to watch this team

Impressed or face-plant gobsmacked, there's always a reason.

When Trout returns in early September it's really going to be exciting.

[thebloob]

For a great bullpen they sure did cough it up.

Just heard the CNN weather guy say it is hotter outside my door than 99 percent of Planet Earth, including the Sahara.

I agree.  I do like it when we win though.

Has Rendon had a pathetic stretch like this before?

I can't find one that lasted this long.  In 2015, he missed the first half of the season, and ended up at .264/.344/.363 for the season (80 games).  He finished with a 15-game stretch of .155/.239/.224.

EDIT: ...and he started out the first 39 games of 2016 with a .229/.314/.314 slash line--so actually slightly worse than where he's at now.

In 23 1/3 innings vs the Rays this year, our bp has given up 28 runs. 

that's actually better than I thought it would be.  

[bloodbrother]

I'd rather not be subjected to more of Mayers in this game

That doesn't account for the inherited runners that have scored.

For some reason climate change has messed with Bixby Knolls. It's 67 outside my door instead of the normal 136. Strange days but I'm not complaining.

[Angels Fan Forever]

It's at the point where Walsh shouldn't playing against LHP's.

He's now batting .161 with a 32% K-Rate.

He painted the broad picture of the Northwest. I just checked, it's 103 with 7 hours of uninterrupted sun left. It is also rising fast. I hope nobody's out in the forest doing dumb stuff.

If the Angels were in the playoff hunt I'd agree but considering their position I'd say let him play through the struggles vs LHP and hope he can improve that part of his game.

[Docwaukee]

can't the Rays just put us out of our misery so we don't have to endure a walk off?
