Gameday Thread: Rangers @ Angels (9/5/21): Janson Junk makes his debut

[beatlesrule]

Here's some much better Junk

Well, I mean, he only allowed 1 ER so he wasn't terrible but I love this song! It will always be the best junk to me.

[eligrba4ever]

This is sort of instructional league for Junk. He's down 5-0 but he gets that called third strike and he has a skip in his step.

[beatlesrule]

Adell breaks the shutout!

[eligrba4ever]

JO!!!

My couch and my beer disagree.

Herget with the stirrups! Love it.

Meanwhile, Heaney allowed 4 ER in 1/3 of an inning today.

So glad to be rid of that guy. When I heard he was going to the Bronx I laughed my ass off.

The .500 thing is fucking hilarious

DJ Peters?

Really?

Yep, I was glad to see him go, too.  He has now given up 10 HR in 28 1/3 IP with the Yankees.  7.62 ERA.

[jsnpritchett]

I agree.  Why bother with a bum like Petricka in a situation like this?

[Angel Oracle]

Kyle Tyler needs to reintroduce himself to Maddon.

Been over a week now

That is regrettable 

[beatlesrule]

Rengifo seems to think he always gets guys out.

[Angel Oracle]

Petricka has pitched a lot better since those first two terrible outings.

Still, he's a 33-year old guy with marginal stuff who's a free agent at the end of the year.  I'd rather see his innings go to someone else.

Touches 94, along with that solid sinker. 

[Angel Oracle]

They got Peters out, alert Ripley’s!

For a right-handed reliever in today's game, that's marginal stuff.  His career minor league and major league stats are unremarkable, too (walks a few too many, doesn't K all that many, gives up a hit+ per inning, etc.).  Career minor league WHIP of over 1.4, major league WHIP of 1.517.  Zero reason for him to be getting any work.

2nd hr for Adell on the day!

[jsnpritchett]

At least Adell is having a good game today.

[eligrba4ever]

JO!!! AGAIN-AGAIN!!!

It's fun to see, especially if it makes it less likely I ever again have to watch Justin Upton in an Angels uniform.
