Gameday Thread: Angels @ Guardians (5/12/23): Anderson on the mound

[Erstad Grit]

O'Neil call on the sac fly was one of the worst I've ever heard.

I’ve said it before but it bares repeating using only 3 pitchers in a game like this is crucial in the long run. Getting 6 from your starter should be the expectation and then having a multi inning guy like Moore, it’s going to help us keep the pen fresh.

Fewer lead off and other walks would help.  Every time a walk scores I cringe.

Agreed, only issue is that Moore and Esteves are really the only two reliable arms in the pen. It's going to continue to be tough to hold leads late on the days these two aren't available.

Devenski, Wantz have pitched well and of late Tepera has been good.

We just need the offense to occasionally give the team a 4-5 run lead.

after more than a season behind the mic, he still doesn't know how to call a home run, either.

In his defense, there is a good reason for that.

He sucks at his job.

He is the Tepera of play by play announcers. 

Actually, that's not fair. Tepera used to be good.
