Gameday Thread: Angels @ Mariners (7/10/21): Sandoval on the mound, Mayfield at 3B, Iglesias hitting cleanup

[jsnpritchett]

I'm waiting for the inevitable "Fletcher leaves the game in the bottom of the 6th" announcement, followed by Maddon saying he'll be fine and doesn't need an IL stint, followed by him being put on the 60-day next Friday.

[UndertheHalo]

haha Angels baseball baby.

[failos]

Thank you Iglesias

When the steak ends, remember that play.

I just finished a nice ribeye, but I don't want to remember that play.

You're right, no reason at all. All star caliber defense tonight from Iglesias.

[tdawg87]

Leave him in. They aren't winning this one.

[HeavenlyHalos]

Bad defense has resulted in two runs yet again.

[nando714]

Very angel esque inning 

inning ending double play to a rbi triple

ball game 

Mariners continue to dominate the halos . Embarrassing 

sell sell sell mode entering the break

Baseball fans.  Assholes don’t care about injuries.  

I’m not a baseball fan. I’m an Angels fan. I don’t give a shit what any other team does or how their players preform. Whatever gets us to our goal which is winning a World Series is what I want. I hate all 29 other teams and all their players. I hope every star player that’s not on the Angels go down with season ending injuries. 
 

If you’re a baseball fan first then I guess I get why you you think it sucks. Baring death or a life threatening injury I don’t care. I’m just an Angels fan.

Oh, I'm not against robo-umps.  I just thought that was a hilariously awful call by the 'bot and just shows that there will still be occasional controversial calls even when the transition occurs.

That’s got to be 1 in a million though right? I haven’t seen a lot of other videos like that.

He was going to the bag like every other SS would.

I'm thinking more that Fletcher is fine but he won't get a hit tomorrow and we'll all blame Iglesias for the rest of time for robbing us of a chance to see history.

I'm an Angels fan first and a baseball fan second. Scratch that, I am not a piece of shit person first so I don't root for others to get injured while on the job.

Yea I get it, you’re an asshole, we all get it.

I wouldn't even call it a "frame attempt," because the ball was about 3 feet outside.  Ha ha.

It appears to be a terrible call but you can't fairly evaluate it because the other factors are working to make it look bad.

Also I’m not at all surprised that a guy with zero empathy received zero empathy when he got hurt. 

No I just went on with my everyday life like Acuna will do. The dude has secured himself a bag. The only reason to care is to watch him play which I give two shits about.

Most shortstops won't run over their second baseman

He didn’t. Fletcher ran into him.

When that one went viral a couple days ago (or maybe yesterday?  I don't remember at this point...), I did see at least one other one that was pretty similar.  But, yep, it's definitely a rare occurrence.

[tdawg87]

Sandoval and shitting the bed in the 6th inning. Name a more iconic duo.

Nope I just have a different way I look at sports. As long as it’s not life threatening I don’t care. I just want my team to succeed and I see other teams injury’s as a good way to do just that.

[eligrba4ever]

Getting 3 runs right now looks like climbing a peak in the Himalayas for this Angels lineup.

Lol yup. It’s just an injury. A millionaire got injured. You won’t be able to see him play for the rest of the year. Boo hoo.
