Gameday Thread (6/14/22): Angels @ Dodgers - Ward back and leading off

[mmc]

[Torridd]

Wow! I really miss Fletcher.

[Blarg]

This is like a MLB starting lineup. 

[Blarg]

I would still like to see Marsh leading off since he has hit his best there .370/.438/.407/.845. Maybe shift Ward and everyone down. It extends the best hitting lineup up front.

The Dodgers are so much better it's not even funny.

But there's going to be so much bs going on the next two games we could easily sweep. Plus the Angels always play the Dodgers well regardless of anything. 

[Angelsjunky]

That's the best lineup the Angels have field since, I don't know, a month?

But...I don't get why Maddon/Nevin are so enamored with Wade. Duffy is better, as is Rengifo, plus he's got more upside.

Still, only 2/9 of the lineup sucks.

[DCAngelsFan]

Awesome!  The band is back together!  Looking forward to ... 

 

Goddammit!

Gonsolin has been ridiculous this year.

[tdawg87]

He's due.

[HeavenlyHalos]

Perry just needs to DFA Wade

Only a healthy Fletcher to replace Tyler Wade (barf) makes it complete.

He's never faced our offense, when healthy...

[failos]

I hate to be that guy, and while I’m thrilled to see Ward back—I can’t help but find Wade at 2nd to be unacceptable. He’s utter shit and doesn’t even belong on the roster

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Gonsolin hasn't pitch much more than 90 pitches and usually less. We need to make him work, no quick outs

Rengifo is way better than Wade. It’s not even up for debate, really. But yeah, we need a healthy Fletcher, but that’s not going to happen for a while.

[AngelStew43]

That's my question, why not Rengifo over Wade?  Wade can bunt, and runs well, but that is about it. 

[Taylor]

LFG

Rengifo made 2 errors almost before we had a chance at bat in his last game...

[Skankhunt42]

They've already swung at the first pitch.

I know, I was there, but Wade is no saint either. And he’s all around shit.

They both suck defensively.

However Rengifo is a better hitter so edge: Lowell.

Rengifo needs work defensively, but he doesn’t suck defensively. Just bonehead plays

Depends on your definition of suck. I'd argue not making the correct plays is pretty sucky.

I don't understand having Marsh bat after Stassi.
