Gameday Thread: Angels @ Braves (7/23/2022)

No Game Thread?...team has hit bottom

I just got home and cannot for the life of me find the game thread.

Never mind...

[Jason]

I’m not sure why anyone would even watch a game now 

[DMVol]

It would be ugly…if this isn’t rock bottom, I don’t want to see it….

 

[Wisconsin27]

I checked a two hours ago and noticed the same.  Sad.

 

[fan_since79]

Villar cost us at least one run. Please remind me why he's on this roster.

[Brandon]

We are losing 7-2. Business as usual. You’re welcome.

[AngelsFaninGA]

How is Adell this bad? I remember butchering plays like that in PE class in 8th grade

[CaliAngel]

And Jo Adell still can't catch a routine fly ball in right field. Get rid of this clown. 

[DMVol]

Make another note: Adell isn’t getting any better as an OF’er….every ball hit to him is an adventure….although Stefanic didn’t help on that one…

[eligrba4ever]

Gotta say that the ball running up Adell's arm and flying into Stefanic's glove for the out made staying through this worth the entertainment value.

Because he is better than Tyler Wade?

Offense, last four games.

1 run, 1 run, 1 run, 2 runs:

Major changes must be made asap. I don't want this team to lose 100 games, or more, because that's what will probably happen at this rate. 

But do we even have the resources to make these changes??

And replace him with Upton!

[eligrba4ever]

GO ANGELS!!! 

Got sidetracked a few hours ago.

Adell the classic elite athlete but terrible at the whole playing baseball thing

The only changes are going to be a trade or two. I suggest just ignoring them and it will be less frustrating

But he looks good in the batter's box. Maybe he should just model athletic clothing. 

[DMVol]

Enough of Villar…he needs to go when Fletcher is ready….

[Duren, Duren]

I should have gone with my wife to see a Shakespeare in the Park play. But I guess I'm a glutton for punishment. 

What a game. Giving up a run before recording an out. Stranding a runner on third with less than two out. All in the first inning. 

And downhill from there. 

Ohtani and Sandoval victims of no support and Braves patient disciplined hitting. 

The blown check swing on Riley followed by a two run homer just added insult to injury. A lazy first base ump reacts to the home crowd and defers to the hottest hitter in the Braves lineup. A call the Angels rarely get, especially with Trout and Ohtani.

saw a replay.  That was f'n hilarious.  Like watching a pre-k kid wearing a glove for the first time and if the ball gets above his/her chest, they don't know to turn the glove.  It would have only been better if he'd called time out and his mom brought him a drink of water and rubbed his back.

Jaime Barria, professional pitcher, throws 4 scoreless innings in a thankless cause.

[Angel Oracle]

As mentioned before, if Sandoval doesn’t improve his WHIP, he won’t be an upper rotation pitcher for long.

Fast approaching 1.50 WHIP

Sub 3.00 ERA, and yet still under utilized.

[eligrba4ever]

Oooh. Pretty spectacular play by Fletcher in the rehab start. Too bad the injury prevented that kind of thing a few months ago,

[fan_since79]

I can't wait until we get back home and beat up on Texas and Oakland.
