Gameday Thread: Angels @ Blue Jays (8/10/21-Game 1 3pm): Rodriguez on the mound, Iglesias hitting cleanup

[jsnpritchett]

Note that even though this game is in Anaheim, it's considered a home game for the Blue Jays due to it being a make-up of a game that was rained out when the Angels were on the road.  The Angels will be the home team starting with game 2 of the doubleheader.  Also, someone else will probably need to start that Gameday Thread, as I won't be around for that game.  Thanks!

Going against a lefty.  I imagine he'll play in game 2.

Hearing Walsh will be activated prior to the second game. 

Of course he could have come down with Rendonitis too and we'll see him next year with Trout and Rendon.

Not really sure why Iglesias is hitting cleanup and Stassi is hitting 7th, but whatever...

GO ANGELS!!! 

Go Chris Rodriguez!!!

"Sweep" the 7-inning "road trip." 

Then clip the Jays' wings the next three "at home."

Is there a reason they didn't play game 1 yesterday when there was an off day, rather than play a double header today?

[failos]

Will the PA at Angel Stadium enthusiastically announce the Blue Jays players instead of the Angels’ players?

This whole away game at Angel Stadium is bizarre.

 We are like 0-57 in injury updates this season

[eligrba4ever]

Griffin Canning issue resolved. Out until 2022. Lower back stress fracture.

On the day Vlad Jr. plays against the team he set this record.

This is getting ridiculous!

Is every other MLB team this bad at prognoses too this season?

The CBA, iirc, limits consecutive days with games to 20.

If there was a game yesterday, it would mean 32 straight days with a game for the Halos.

Go Halos!

Walsh "day to day"?

Okay, August 25th. Got it.

[Revad]

Is it our lucky day?  That would be cool.

[daygloman]

Shit.

[rafibomb]

Safe
