Gameday Thread: Astros @ Angels (9/2/22): Detmers on the mound, Thaiss at C, Aguilar in LF

[Vlad27Trout27]

Fucken Ward, that's twice. Dude has sucked since getting injured. 

[Angel Oracle]

What is your problem, Ward?????

Stingers can’t last for 3 months, can they?

Freaking low .600s OPS since June 1?

WTF?????

I has this game on MLB Network after the Rays stung Los Yanquis. I thought MLBN used the home broadcast, especially because MV is in tonight. But MLBN is using the visitors TV.

I cannot stand the Asstros announcers, especially that play by play guy, his voice is unbearable.

[Angel Oracle]

Detmers doesn’t seem to have it these past 2 innings?

[eligrba4ever]

Has Mike been getting outfield tips from Jo???

Why is Duffy in the lineup 

There is not 1 redeeming quality about Duffy. I'm still semi-okay with Adell because he has speed and people for some reason see potential, but Duffy needs to go. 

[AngelsMetsWS]

It would be great to get out of this without giving up a run. 

[eligrba4ever]

Detmers has had a strong run. But every run finds its end. I hope he escapes this jam.

[AngelsMetsWS]

Nice!

2nd time through the lineup...but he finished the inning strong.

Really tough line out for a ground rule double, but I feel like his throw home the inning before should have been more accurate.

I might be wrong but I feel like baseball in general has had a lack of accurate throwers from the outfield for a while. That risk to tag up 3rd on a fly ball to the outfield to score just doesn't seem to be as risky these days.

Where do the Angel's find some of these bums they don't even look like ballplayers.

Might certainly make a difference if they played like ballplayers...

Ah snap. 
 

walked in runs are always a bad look.

Especially when it was a lead-off walk to begin with….

Marte has walked 5 guys per 9 IP over the course of his major/minor league career, so not really surprised by this so far.

[AngelsMetsWS]

As geez, now two. 

[eligrba4ever]

What's that gold "Starfleet" patch on the jerseys of both teams.

Might as well have left in Detmers to see what he can do with this mess.

We’ll, glad that inning is over with.

Few things in baseball annoy me more than relievers who can't throw strikes. Just the absolute worst shit
