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

What a blunder

[HeavenlyHalos]

Fletcher is amazing defensively on a team that is really really bad at it.

[Stradling]

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

Anyone can counter that tweet with a hundred others showing umpires making dogshit calls. Bring on the robots. 

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.

[HeavenlyHalos]

We are at 12 innings without a run scored now.

I'm just going to assume you're joking.

So you are saying that is a good camera angle for judging balls and strikes and also a good frame attempt from the catcher?

[AngelsLakersFan]

Are we still going to defend Iglesias?

Acuna is a badass and very fun to watch.

[Justin]

This fucking team.

Lou?

[Stradling]

A whole bunch of people are about to get mad at Iglesias for no reason.

"I'm not sure Iglesias knew what he was doing." Seattle announcer.

Yep. 

[failos]

Iglesias is always all over the place…

[HeavenlyHalos]

Iglesias' only positive trait this season is his Ohtani love.

[rageous]

How did Maddon not get ejected after seeing two straight bad calls against his hitters?

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

Epic of vents just posted!

Hint: what’s going to change the remaining 74 games from the first 88 games????

I’ll never understand why someone would be sad a star player on another team got injured. The goal is to win a World Series. The less competition to get to that goal the better. 

from reading Mariner fans they aren't sad about Trout

[eligrba4ever]

When the steak streak ends, remember that play

Because he understands it doesn’t matter. 

[Revad]

What happens if we lose Fletch for a week?  Oh, man.

[UndertheHalo]

Fletcher is too powerful to get owned by that collision.

Seattle fans also root for the University of Washington so this is not surprising.
