Gameday Thread: Angels @ Tigers (8/19/21 10am Pacific start): Quintana on the mound

[Bronson]

We really have no one in AAA better then Quintana and Slegers? Come the fuck on. 

[rafibomb]

Something about Quintana's inherited runs scoring on Cabrera's 500th homer being a grand slam given up by Slegers is absolutely fitting.

[rageous]

Imagine bringing in Sleggers to put out the fire.

What can go wrong?

[fan_since79]

A 3-run double.

Good work Slegers!

Game.

Booooo...I was actually rooting for him to hit one there.

[Bronson]

Maddon is a fucking moron. Literally conceded the game at 3-2.

Honestly one of the reasons why this is a .500 team is because they treat themselves like a .500 team. Zero attempt to build on wins whatsoever and manager continues to be a cynical disinterested clown.

I sincerely hope Slegers MLB career is over after this season. Fuck this guy.

Gawd, Quintana sucks as a starter!

SEVEN hits in 1.1 innings!!!

YOU ABSOLUTELY REEK, Slegers!

WTH do Minasian and Maddon see in him?????? 

[Jason]

Slegers may be the worst relief pitcher in baseball. This guy as absolutely useless

I mean, I'm perfectly content to let him go be shitty for someone else.  Just not the Angels.

When I saw Jose Quintana back in the rotation, I knew this team's microscopic chance of getting back in the WC hunt just went to zero. You can't sustain a winning steak of any kind with Quintana in there. Quintana and Slegers both need to go. I simply can't remember one time this year Slegers has had a good outing. Not one. 

[fan_since79]

Offhand, I can't think of anyone in this blowpen worth keeping other than Raisel, Mayers, and maybe Warren. 

[eligrba4ever]

I wondered at the start if this was supposed to be an opener game. But the collapse came very quickly and that's what it turned out to be.

At least Quintana has been solid enough in the pen.   Just never, eeever start him again!

[eligrba]

Good thing Slegers was brought in to limit the damage.

Yep, Minasian can sure pick em.

Time to give Jose Marte a chance?

Maddon is the one that went out of his way to use by far our worst reliever in a 3-2 game.

I hope Minasian and Maddon are let go as well. How can these idiots have this crap on the team.

[Angel Oracle]

Sludgers can’t even strike out batters.

23/14 Ks/BBs

What freaking good is he?  Helping a team to tank?
