Gameday Thread: Blue Jays @ Angels (4/9/23): Detmers on the mound

[TooCool]

Angels will spin this off like "Hey! We're still above .500 and in 1st/2nd place!" We're fine!

When in reality they should really be 8-1 instead of 5-4. But they'll ignore that.

I think everyone should go back and read yesterday's GDT.

Yesterday’s game>>>>>Today’s game

What is this, the third game blown by the pen?!

Gonna be a long season. Fourth place beckons. Same old, same old.

[UndertheHalo]

The problem with the angels relievers imo is that the Angels are bad at managing relievers.  They’ve got a decent mix of guys.  Like everything else with the team, the Angels just get less than other teams do.

Can’t wait to see how Strad is gonna straw man his way out of this one…

no way around it the bullpen is horrible

[eligrba4ever]

TROUT!!! 

SPARKING A COMEBACK???

Oops. Drury just making an appearance.

[tdawg87]

I blame Detmers more than the pen.

[Biergott]

This bullpen is absolute garbage from top to bottom.  Not a single arm that can be trusted.  
 

Might as well cut them all and bring up the minor league guys.  Can’t get any worse.

This will be the reason Ohtani bails.  And we won’t get shit for him either

the Angel Way

Offense shut down after they got the big lead.

He was ahead of Springer 0-2 and walked him.

"They only scored 7 runs"

"But Detmers"

Yeah we need 12 runs minimum. The offense should know this, their fault

Note correction.  Oops. Jumped too quickly and misread the uni.

[Angel Oracle]

When will they ever finish over .500 even?

He wasn't a signing though, but they did give him an extension after trading for him. Perry should trade for more relievers

Changed it to acquisitions….

[IheartLA]

It’s Ben Joyce time, even if he’s wild and raw it will be better than Tepera or Loupy Loup throwing 92.

They just have too many of the same kind of arm IMO, which is essentially a bunch of middle reliever types at best. They desperately need some dudes with elite velo/secondaries that they can lean on for these 7th/8th/9th innings(Estevez has the qualifications to be here). Right now it's just pretty much rolling the dice on a bunch of middling options and hoping you chose the right one for that scenario on any given day.

Early October 2023.

Yeah that was disappointing after he looked so good through 5. Can't turn a 6-0 game into a 2 run game and turn it over to this pen.

[eligrba4ever]

Urshela starts 9th on a positive note.

[Angel Oracle]

Minasian, watch Romano and LEARN (what a good hard throwing reliever looks like)!!!!!

Ya sure all this 

[Jason]

They have the right guys coming up now. Fingers crossed
