Gameday Thread: Angels @ Orioles (8/24/21): Bundy on the mound

[AngelsFaninGA]

Ok I retract my previous statement. The O's are awful

[eligrba4ever]

The Angels must have picked up some sharp batting tips from the Little Leaguers.

I love the fact that Bundy was pulled so early. I’m clinging on to hope that it means his time is coming to an end soon. Criswell and Naughton deserve a look. Hell, Kyle Tyler isn’t a prototypical starter anymore but he is able to pitch longer than Bundy has.

Adell with 10 RBI on the road trip.

[eligrba4ever]

4 ribbies for Adell tonight.

[Blarg]

Work in progress...

Your team is on its way to 19 straight losses and all you have left is a chance to see Ohtani hit and your manager intentionally walks him. You boo the home team.

Thank goodness, I was going to suggest one of us go and explain how hitting is important to score runs and runs are necessary to win games.

Radio broadcast just mentioned Guerra could be auditioning for a spot in the rotation LOL

Tbf, we do need more guys who pitch like complete garbage before getting pulled in the 2nd inning.

So I just turned the game on. Awesome that I see 8 runs but Bundy is gone already. Reading through the thread, he wasn't injured and only gave up one run. It's best to not try and figure out what Maddon is thinking or doing.

He was removed seconds before he probably would have given up a slam. Joe was thinking: 
I've seen enough of this tonight.

Bundy allowed 3 walks, a hit and also hit a batter letting 5 of his 9 batters reach base through 1.1 innings pitched.

Can we stay in Baltimore for another week?

That would be lousy even if you were facing a good team. 

[daygloman]

LOL! You all know how it is........... 

They score all the runs in one game, then it's scarce time with runs!

[Angel Oracle]

O’s are fast approaching 6.00 team ERA.

I imagine O’s Oracle making me look like a tea totler.

The top half of the O’s lineup is solid.

They simply have no pitching.

Sounds familiar. 

[eligrba4ever]

The Angels need a sweep to get over .500. The Orioles are the best bet to give up a sweep.

The Padres and Yankees come next. Not so easy.

That's why this is not your normal feel-good game. We could score 20 runs tonight and then 2 in the next two games.

 

[Robrock30]

Nice football score

[failos]

Bullshit

[daygloman]

I'm willing to bet, in baseball history....... 

50% of ALL close calls, the umpires got it WRONG!

50% of the time!

I love that you are preemptively miserable, well done.
