He moves like Rob Quinlan in the outfield but Adell isn’t any better 

I literally had that thought opening day.

If Rojas keeps hitting, you’d think he needs to get AB’s over Adell….

I don’t think this makes any sense at all

I think its sweet that Suzuki's walk-up music is One Love by Bob Marley.

Rendon, marsh, stassi, Duffy all on the bench. At least we have pinch hit options.

And yet...

Fletcher stop swinging at balls at your head.

Is he really that dumb?

[Erstad Grit]

Fletcher bats like Vlad, just without the results

[Justin]

These days, I have even less hope that Fletcher will come through than I did with Pujols the last five years. And that's a really shitty feeling.

[tdawg87]

I am definitely done with Fletcher. 

[TrumBomb]

I miss being excited about Fletcher 

[Blarg]

Fletcher needs to be fined for every pitch he swings at over his letters.

Do you want him to go bankrupt?

The Angels stink

Yes

I don't understand what happened to Fletcher. It wasn't like he had a flukey year - he got better in 2019 and again in 2020. But last year he just lost it, and became the scrub that we thought he'd be five years ago.

Thankfully his contract isn't so large that a UT role would be a huge loss.

It’s gonna be pretty lame if the difference in this game is the dumb fuck play with Wade at the plate.

Don't worry guys we have Ohtani Trout and Walsh next inning that's like an easy 3 runs of offense.

I'm guessing you once said something nice about him.

He only hits the ball to right field so he’s getting hurt by outfield shifts. Remember Adolis Garcias catch on his foul pop last year?

Other teams have the book on him, he needs to adjust.  The sure had the RF positioned well.

How about Plutarch Jimenez-Zapata's catch? 

[HeavenlyHalos]

Suzuki costs us another strike. This is a poorly constructed team overall

[eligrba]

Did Jo misread that ball?

We all loved him. He's the type of player everyone loves: A fringe prospect who becomes a good regular. I think we collectively got naively greedy after his .319/.376/.425 line - and it was understandable considering he had gotten better each year. But given that he only played 49 games, some regression was expected - but not to what we've seen since.
