Gameday Thread: Rockies @ Angels (7/27/21): Suarez on the mound, Gosselin at 1B & hitting 3rd

[TheLordofOuts]

Rockies have a great FG kicker 3 for 3 so far

[bloodbrother]

Rockies 10-37 on the road this season and they are obliterating the Angels. Classic

[beatlesrule]

I'll remind you of Shark Week and Shark Fest again. Watch if you missed them. If you have Target Circle, there is a free 4 month trial for Apple TV+. 6 month trial if you have a PS5. You can stack them both and then watch Ted Lasso, Central Park and other great shows. I'm gonna go play Gears of War 4 now.

[Angel Oracle]

This is the type of game that signals the end of contention.

Sell every impending FA!

They won’t make the post-season for several years anyway.

Minasian snores away the whole season while the bullpen burns, and does NOTHING!

Thanks for nothing, Arte Moreno!

Just thanks.

Getting absolutely destroyed at home by the Rockies.

Blow this fucking garbage up.

Kurt Suzuki...aka 🗑 ass hoe

Has a GM ever been fired in July of his first season?

[jonickell25]

You might get a good fluke week out of a middling player like Mayfield. But there's a reason he's 30 and been in 4 teams. Same with Gosselin. Same with Lagares. Why do they do this? Build an actual team instead of a AAA trash can. I'd rather watch Adell and Thaiss.

They've kicked road opponents 10 times already. The Angels will probably make it 11. It's not like they are 0-47.

He should be. Can't win games with trash.

[Stradling]

When we lose a game the IQ of this place drops considerably.

I feel like I'm watching a high school game. The local JC 3B/SS could've easily made those 3 plays that were errors.

HS plays better than this

This is the game @Inside Pitch refers to when he says it's not the pitching that is the problem.

Extended innings because of bad defense really can't be heaped on the pitchers shoulders. Suarez is a contact pitcher and so far that has worked against him on what should have been infield outs. All but one inning has been extended by giving Rockies the equivalent of 5 outs. 

I've absolutely stopped caring.  The defense has undermined the pitching all year.  I guess they deserve some slack for having been better of late but I seriously don't even watch when I see Suzuki listed in the pregame lineups.  I seriously took the night off and just now thought, lets see how bad it is..... And here we are.

Suzuki is awful. Love the dude but he’s about 2 years deep on borrowed time in MLB. Can’t frame a pitch and can’t hit for shit.

Upton now 1 for 21 with 7 K since he came back.

Haven't seen him tonight, but his swing is stiff and mechanical since coming back.  He should have worked those kings out in AAA.

Why is Ohtani still in this game?

Mop-up duty for Andrew Wantz. Terrible management of a young arm with success in the minors when you have Quintana and Guerra in the pen (and almost every other person in the pen as well)

Probably not a good idea to have a young guy go 10 days without pitching but.... Geniuses do it differently

[daygloman]

#36 for Ohtani.....

Ok, I guess that's why.

The team is trolling us. 

Win three straight and then this pile of crap.

Oh well...

Big thanks to all you guys...  Didn't watch, didn't need to.  Your collective reactions/ thoughts pretty much let me get an idea of what happened.  Spared myself a lot of grief.  Avoiding Suzuki games is good for the soul.

[jonickell25]

The shift is so awesome
