Gameday Thread Rangers @ Angels 7/31/2022 Detmers on the mound no Fletcher

[beatlesrule]

Marsh with the misread a little leaguer wouldn't do leads to a run. 2-2 now.

[Blarg]

Replace Marsh with Adell!

that's like the 4th or 5th time a LF has gotten eaten up by that LF side wall this series. I've never seen anyone get twisted and turned around by that LF side wall before this series. What is going on???

It happens to Angels opponents all the time.

One of the most garbage rules in MLB

[Revad]

Common Ohtani!

Is the entire MLB umpiring staff comprised of complete idiots? Sierra did nothing to interfere or run out of the basepath, the Rangers first baseman botched the play. Nevin needs to file a protest.

He's not in the running lane (because its out of the way)... it's a stupid rule but they call it all the time.

Judge would have thrown him out on that SF.

Calhoun could've also

Detmers is a stud.

Detmers with 10ks! 90 pitches through 6. Likely done but maybe comes out for the 7th. I hope so anyway.

[AngelsLakersFan]

Maybe we found one player who might not suck

[PattyD22]

Detmers pitched awesome today and deserves to win this game.  Had it not been for another lame ass error by another Angels left fielder, he’d be up 2-1 and in line for the win.

Maybe the Angels can squeak a run across in the bottom of the 6th?

Dear Angels, We are now engaged in a great conflict  with the Texas Rangers and need a run or 3 in the sixth to provide young Mr. Detmers the offensive help he needs to give meaning to this grand adventure. And his 10 strikeouts.

Hum some fiddle music to accompany this plea.

We are seemingly in a deep hole but the one thing that gives me some hope is young pitching——Detmers, Sandoval, maybe some of the young guys we’ve drafted the last two years….

[eligrba]

Let the kid pitch.

[beatlesrule]

Odd double play after a k!

[AngelsLakersFan]

Make up call for the bull shit play at first

[Halo in Chicago]

Detmers has really turned the corner since being sent down. He looks legit. 

[beatlesrule]

Detmers 12ks!!

[CaliAngel]

I swear to god half the shitty calls that just "pop up" and go against the Angels (like that batter interference call when we stole 3rd base and the right handed batter didn't do shit) would NEVER happen against the Stankees. It feels like the umpires relentlessly fuck with the Angel's whether it's terrible strike zones or bullshit calls that make no sense.

So I know this will probably sound stupid but when I was going to ballgames consistently, I would show up early for batting practice and plant myself right on the left field wall between the foul pole and the gap for the bullpen. So if grounders came down the line I could hang down the fence and snag them. And believe it or not there IS a sweet spot on that wall where the balls consistently will roll to after they come down the line and bang of the wall in left. And it was like a pinball machine, if a ball was coming down the line, it consistently would bounce in a space of 3 to 4 feet almost every time, and I would sit in the same spot and get a ball pretty much every game. I have a drawer full of balls just by sitting down the line and hanging my glove down the walls against balls that banged against that wall. 

I have a feeling Garret Anderson knows about that bounce and sweet spot...

[Stradling]

Thanks Eppler!

Tell that 7th-inning monkey he needs to spark a rally to get a Dub for Detmers.
