Gameday Thread: A's @ Angels (7/31/21 - 1pm): Barria on the mound, Thaiss at 1B, no Upton

[jsnpritchett]

I really do not like how Rich Waltz says, "That's out!" when he's talking about a pitch that's a ball.  Never heard anyone else say that for something that isn't a homerun or a foul ball (as in "out of play").

Thaisseth great

Gosselin going back to being Phil Gosselin instead of Mike Trout: .208/.283/.264 in his last 60 plate appearances.

But the genius bats him third.

Imagine waking up from a coma after several months and tunning into an Angels game and seeing this lineup...

Good God. When is Rendon coming back? I’m tired of these shitty ass scrubs.

You would expect to Google Angels Team Bus Crash and find the story behind it.

Mayfield sucks

Ken McMullen mention. Nice.

[Bronson]

If Perry fixes up the bullpen this offseason, this team could be really scary.

[Docwaukee]

great.  Barria staring at his finger after his last few pitches.

I think we screwed up trading Heaney.  He is clearly a better pitcher than Barria.

Is it too late to bring back Harvey or Stratton?

Harvey has an 18 1/3 inning scoreless streak going, believe it or not.  (He's still had a terrible year, no doubt...I just saw that about his streak and was surprised.)

[Angel Oracle]

No matter what happens after 5th today, Barria needs to be in the rotation to stay.

[jsnpritchett]

6-pitch inning for Irvin.

I would just be happy I was alive, but having to learn to walk again is going to be a bitch...

Are we watching the same game this afternoon?

He would need to actually catch first.

Have you watched him in AAA this year?

I'm talking about in the major leagues, obviously.

I'll take that as a "no."

Don’t worry it’s just a blister.
