Gameday Thread: A's @ Angels (4/26/23): Sandoval on the mound

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

at least some on our lineup can still hit HRs

[Angelsjunky]

Drury has 7 hits and 3 HR in his last three games.

[Angelsjunky]

Renfroe's line is .286/.356/.593. 

[Blarg]

Medina is borderline looking at getting one of his own guys beaned.

OUCH

Drury might be challenging his power pace for 2022, when I think he hit 28 homers.

Despite their record, the A's are not an easy out.   They score alot of runs, have mastered the art of dink and dunk 2 out RBI bleeders, and keep hanging around late in  games, in case the other team makes any mistakes.

They have good speed.

But are also 13th in AL runs scored.

Is Drury good now?

We all know how much you love him.

Surprised Neto doesn’t have a walk yet so far. He’s got a very good eye and should’ve had one there. I guess HBP’s raise the OBP just the same

Maybe Suarez should set his locker up next to his right now

I am liking what I see in Neto's at bats. He shows a very good eye at what is a pitch in or out of the zone. Unfortunately it can work against him, like Trout, being so good at seeing those pitches are outside, not chasing, then getting called out by the umpires. But I think if he stays that course he will get more respect by the umpires and get more calls his way then punish those that are about three inches closer.

We need to start worrying if we lock up Ohtani we won't be able to afford him.

Yeah that called strike three on Neto was clearly outside. 

Love this kid!

Ha, well he is sort of hitting like Ohtani at his best (2021: .257/.372/.592). Of course I'm not sure how well Renfroe can pitch.

2 errors in 13 games isn't very good.

Renfroe is red hot. Which means the baseball Gods will take notice, see what team he's on, and hit him with lightning.

My money is on a freak accident with the samurai helmet after an HR.

Can't be worse than Loup

I thought Salmon was always a slow starter?!?!

Well he's better than David Fletcher, who now has three errors in 5 games.  

Those stats for Cabbage were before tonight's game. He's now at 14 games, 2 errors. I guess we'd have to see how those errors were called.

I don't think he can be any worse defensively than Lamb who has one error in 12 games, but less total chances. 

[Swordsman78]

The Japanese pitchers are clearly intimidated by Ohtani-san

[Jason]

Oakland kind of stinks. Haha!!
