Gameday Thread: Angels @ White Sox (9/14/21): Naughton on the mound, no Adell

[eligrba]

Yep.  Bad at bat, but great clubhouse vibe.

[eligrba4ever]

Bases loaded with Angels. Two outs. And we have a whiff!!!

Could it have been any other way? Really?

[beatlesrule]

Well, at least they made that an interesting inning.

[eligrba4ever]

I apologize to the community for forcing this on to a second page after just 4.5 innings.

[eligrba]

Bad play in right but great clubhouse vibe.

[Vlad27Trout27]

well this isn't pretty....

[Angelsjunky]

September Angels baseball sucks.

[eligrba4ever]

One less inning until this ends tonight.

[fan_since79]

Does anyone know if Trout is with the team in Chicago? 

Haven't heard a single update in quite a while.

[eligrba4ever]

If Shohei can't win the home-run title and Baby Vlad sweeps the Triple Crown, Guerrero the Next Generation may get the MVP.

I haven't heard anybody scheduling a "luckiest man on the face of the Earth" retirement speech for April.

Seriously, he's probably following storm reports for the Jersey Shore.

These two teams are like night and day.

The collapse is in motion.

[beatlesrule]

Bases loaded again.... and Fletcher grounds into a DP on the first pitch. Inning over.

[fan_since79]

Bases loaded one out and Fletcher GIDP.

What the hell has happened to him?!

[Waybackman]

Remember when Fletcher was good?

[Angel Oracle]

Fletcher at the plate = Rengifo at the plate.

Final 2021 record?

77-85?

76-86?

75-87?

74-88?

Say hello to another top 10 draft pick?

A's are fighting for a wild card.

Astros for home field advantage.

Mariners also scrambling for a WC.

Last home stand could be very ugly.

 

edit: Rays most probably will get HFA.

He has to swing at every pitch. From a guy that used to take the most pitches and rarely strikes out to some imbicile that cant control himself at the plate. He cannot let the pitcher offer something he can hit, he hacks at everything. It has become tiresome to watch.

His last 23 games .184/.216/.204/.420  and Maddon pencils him in as the designated first out.   

[Jay]

No way this guy's name is Bummer?

[fan_since79]

Fletcher is mentally burned out. He needs to sit a couple games.

Eh, they're just playing out the string.

Langston: Maddon's going to give Adell one more day.

LOL. Right.
