Gameday Thread (5/3/23): Angels @ Cardinals - Ohtani on the mound

[Angelsjunky]

This is the 2-3-4 we've been wanting to see for three years, and finally have and somehow it feels anticlimactic, like we hoped for Barbarella but got 80 for Brady.

[Blarg]

If I'm on first base the last guy I want to see at the plate right now is Trout.

[Angelsjunky]

Trout and Ohtani: definition of hot dogs.

[HeavenlyHalos]

Now would be a great time for your first home run, Rendon

[rafibomb]

Getting tired of Trout and Ohtani never coming through late in the game when we need them

[HeavenlyHalos]

Come on, Renfore...

Rendon having David Fletcher like pop has certainly been a pretty tragic development

I have brought shame to my family.

Well that was god awful. Are they really going to lose another close game?

Media's headline if we lose this game will be "Ohtani ties career high 13 K's as Angels lose 3-4"

8 LOB now. Angels have the 2nd worst OPS (.545) in late/close games (14 games). Only the Rockies are worse

I just wanted to give you kudos for using the correct (team) LOB stat, unlike many folks on this board.  Ha ha.

[TroutField]

This is such an unclutch team. Can’t get the big out, the big defensive play, or the big hit. 

[jsnpritchett]

Hey, guys, no need to worry: Tepera is warming up.  We got this.

You missed the 6th inning yesterday?

How about Ward robbing the grand slam?

Goldschmit getting cut down trying to steal 2nd?

 

 

Okay I'll stop

You’re ignoring the game over .500 record lol 

 

They aren’t getting the clutch hit, pitching, etc and can’t get an extended winning streak going. Smells like a .500 club
