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

[bloodbrother]

Ohtani is a pretty damn good hitter. He had a bad AB there

[AngelsFaninGA]

I blame the offense. Only 11 runs scored? What is this garbage? They need 18 runs minimum. The bullpen did a great job

[ukyah]

lol. i kind of love to hate the angels now. they're so retarded.

You mean the Ohtani hitting .333 with an OPS of 1.103? 

That Ohtani?

Probably a different Ohtani

So because he's not Ted Williams he's overrated?

No.

Oh, Kevin Ohtani!

Yeah, he's overrated.

Yeah, he's overrated.

I’d personally be fine if Kevin tested free agency and we kept Shohei, the over rated one. 

[Angel Oracle]

Can we DFA 5 or 6 relievers at one time?

Two good bullpen games out of NINE

You guys really don’t like nuance do you?

[Mark68]

In a shocking development, Angels’ bullpen snatches defeat from the jaws of victory. How typical of the 2015 2016 2017 2018 2019 2020 2021 2022 2023 Angels.

 

Hey, at least they only hit 4 homers and lost, so…progress?

 

And the ghost runner rule can still kiss my ass.

 

[Lou]

Tied for 1st Place!

[Slegnaac]

Why didn't Ohtani come in to pitch the 10th inning?

[REDneck]

A Son of a bitch game

He's more Harmon Killebrew.

If things continue, they should be opening a couple of roster spots in a week to 10 days  Cough, Tepera,cough Loup, cough.

[Puget Sound Angel]

Worse game of the year--so far.

[ten ocho recon scout]

I'll say this... at least it was interesting....

 

First time in awhile you had hope, with a lineup of at least average, as opposed to all duds outside of trout/ohtani.

True….but we aren’t going to do much of anything if the BP can’t find a little consistency….

[ThisismineScios]

Really though we can’t just assume all these guys are going to comprise a good bullpen going forward. Nobody has good stuff, besides Estevez (slightly above average). Problem is Tepera and Loup, arguably the two worst, are expensive. Can’t option them and can’t trade them. Joyce obviously isn’t ready. Herget is no longer fooling anyone. What do they do? This is now 3 bullpen losses. That’s really bad.

Why Ohtani wasn't ready to swing at that first pitch is beyond me. 

94 right down the middle. Had walk off GS written all over it...

All they need to do is pitch decently and the Halos win that game
