Gameday Thread (5/13/23): Angels @ Guardians - Moniak leading off in season debut

[HeavenlyHalos]

I assume it was due to injury. No other reason to pull him unless he's sick

[Biergott]

Is he hurt?  TV said it was defensive, but I don’t get it.  

it’s only the 6th and you remove one of the most consistent bats we have right now.

he’s got to be hurt right?

[Biergott]

Hopefully it’s just diarrhea 

[Slegnaac]

If only we had an AW poster at the game today to tell us what happened to Rendon....

Anyone have any idea about Rendon’s injury?

It's Rendon

[Swordsman78]

OK we won the first 6.  The last 3 are where we have been strong lately.  Top of the order should get 2 more at bats.  Lets gooooo

[Slegnaac]

Moniak blowing minds!

[HeavenlyHalos]

This has to be on of the worst slumps of Trout's career

[Swordsman78]

Ohtani playing like he doesn't want to sign

He’s a Moniak, Moniak I sure know

And he’s hitting like he’s never hit before…

[HeavenlyHalos]

lmao, that was some 2023 Angels defense by Cleveland. Moniak is an absolute beast today!

Getting hit on the elbow probably isn't helping him today. 

[Swordsman78]

Nice.  the bargain $$ guys getting it done after fails by the Big $$$$$$$$$$$$$$$ payroll guys

[Revad]

Rengifo and the Cleveland defense helps out, 4-2 Angels.

BP has been good minus Loup, and Tepera...

Strange thing here, nearly every Cleveland fan is cheering for Ohtani or at the very least paying real close attention to every at bat. A few have said they came just to see him play, even though they are Guardians fans. His first at bat a couple fans started booing him and were shut up by their own fans. 

[HeavenlyHalos]

Wantz, please don't walk the leadoff guy

Kinda like how all fans come to watch a future hall of famer in any sport.

Why was Rendon subbed out? Nice to see Rengifo come in clutch tho
