Gameday Thread: Angels @ Rangers (5/17/22 5pm start): Detmers on the mound, Rengifo back at 2B, Duffy at 1B

[Angel Oracle]

The way they fell apart, it’ll start off being a long day tomorrow.

Seriously it seemed like Maddon didn't care about the game tonight.

First he takes Detmer out early and he keeps Tepera in when he couldn't find the strike zone

and replaces Tepera with a guy making his angels debut lol

I mean this series has sucked. They probably will get swept tomorrow. Maybe they won't. Idk. 

It just sucks because the schedule is about to get fucking ridiculous and they're blowing games they really need to be winning.

Fucking Iglesias.

[fan_since79]

Everyone calm down.

By next week we could see them take care of the A's and Texas at home.

Long season. I'd rather be where we are right now than in previous years.

Aybar was Ripken Jr. compared to Rengifo.

Looks like I fell asleep at the right time.

I think they'll win tomorrow but this stadium always makes things interesting as does CB Bucknor calling balls and strikes.

I still absolutely despise the CF camera angle in this stupid ballpark

[Angel Oracle]

Does anyone know why Texas made that playing surface so hard, and water it down to boot?

Why not have grass surface?   Leave the roof open when games aren’t being played.

One would think the Rangers players will eventually hate that unforgiving surface? 

[TrumBomb]

I’m upset we haven’t be able to hear Woodward make a stupid excuse for why they lost. Here’s hoping for tomorrow

Why is this team so bad at call challenges?

Three out of twelve successful?

Sounds like someone needs to be fired?

Lol have you somehow managed to convince yourself that they can be good or bad at challenges ? The one today didn’t go their way.  100% it was the right call to challenge the play.  I mean lol.  What are you talking about man ? 

[UndertheHalo]

Also, they play the Rangers 14 times.  Probably not realistic to expect that they’re going to win 12 or 11 of those game.  9 wins is a 65% win clip.  Which is great.  It’s still in play ! Take it easy guys.  Sometimes you have a couple of stinkers. 

[Redondo]

Blowpen strikes again

Could be worse. The Angels could have been swept by the Nationals in Anaheim.

When FS is the voice of reason we know some people might be over reacting. 

[Angels 1961]

Long season many ups and downs.

And if I’m not mistaken, 2 of those 3 successful calls were in that game where the ump missed 4 calls

[Biergott]

So, we suck again?

[Angels 1961]

Angels 24 and 15
