Gameday Thread (6/22/22): Royals @ Angels - off-days for Trout and Walsh

[Vlad27Trout27]

Didn't Mackinnon play 3rd early in his milb career? if he can above average defense at 3rd, play him there!

Negative. He has 1 start at second, 31 at DH, and the remainder at 1st. In his one start at second he also had an error.

Stassi remains dog shit 

Angels money does that to players, unfortunately

[HeavenlyHalos]

Ohtani dealing tonight. Let's hope the offense can put up a few runs at least

[Lou]

I took Ohtani OVER 6.5 Ks tonight. 

[HeavenlyHalos]

Spiezio gained quite a few pounds

Nicely done sir. How much did you wager?

Lynch has thrown nearly 50 pitches in two innings and we don't have a hit lol

Enough to make it worthwhile.

[Chuck]

Man I love Speez! So great to hear he's sober and helping others. Love that guy!

I should have added... to actually watch the game.

I see.... not really since you didn't directly answer but only one more to go for the W

[HeavenlyHalos]

Ward doesn't swing the bat and strikes out looking. Well done

[HeavenlyHalos]

Rengifo with a terrible swing on a 3-1 pitch.

Team is 0-2 with RISP so far tonight

What this tells me is he needs more AB's. Bat him leadoff

[Clark W Griswold]

I know Trout needed a day and LH starter so no Walsh but he can’t afford to give any 2 of the 4 decent hitters on the team the same night off. He’s got a .203 hitter in the 3 spot tonight.  Hard to believe the line up is this bad with Rendon the only “big bat” that’s hurt.

He has a day off tomorrow. Makes no sense to sit him tonight.

Congrats @Lou

Thanks, but if we don't score soon I may be changing the channel.

This seems reasonable and fair 

[Revad]

Ohtani with nine strikeouts so far.

[HeavenlyHalos]

I know he'll be incredibly expensive but I think we have to resign Ohtani. It will cost just as much to find a new Ace and power hitter behind Trout in Free Agency.
