Gameday Thread (5/17/23): Angels @ Orioles - Canning on the mound

[Reveille1984]

This team makes some of the weirdest defensive blunders you'll ever see. Throw is directly to Thaiss and he does a little goofy one footed jump to move his foot off the bag for absolutely no reason

Please DFA Thaiss for the love of god.

Dumbass, neto nearly threw that away. If Thaiss hadn't come off the ground it ends up in the dugout. 

Oh yeah, and genius DFAing a guy hitting .302 with nearly a .400 obp.

It was high and headed for the dugout. Are you guys stupid or something, he was at a full reach to get to that throw. Neto's throws have been crap since getting hit in the hand.

Blarg is angry old man tonight.

Obviously you missed last season.

I rarely watched past June but the defense looked better last year imo. Offense was an absolute train wreck though

[rafibomb]

Orioles managing to get hits off good pitches. 

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Are the umpires really blue or black? They look black to me.

Nope, the defense has been complete shit tonight, but assign the shit to the right clown out there. 

 

By the way, Canning had went 17 batters in a row with a first strike pitch tonight. He isn't the problem. 

[Revad]

Canning looks good, it would be easier with a lead.  Let’s go 2-1 top of fifth.

Yeah, tonight has been special ed out there in the field. Even Trout tried to bare hand a line drive and bobbled it. It's like a defensive breakdown pandemic and it is very contagious.

They are wrong.

Not my point, but you know that.

Keep being angry then. It really makes this place enjoyable for everyone. 

[BTH]

Urshela is 2019 David Fletcher with worse defense

Happy to make it so much more enjoyable for all.

Billy Eppler is so dumb for trading Bradish for Bundy.

Not surprised the Mets suck right now with that imbecile as their GM.

Yeah they made the playoffs last year, but they got bounced in the 1st round.

Eppler’s got blank checks and still performing below expectations.

Too much shuffling of guys around the infield….I know they want to get bats in the lineup but it’s hard to be really good defensively at multiple positions.

[HeavenlyHalos]

Will this be the fourth straight series that they win the opener and lose the rest of the games?

Another one!

[Sho Way That Was A Strike]

I dunno about you guys but .500 and losing 8 of 10 feels pretty much par for the course for this team. 

[rafibomb]

Canning really battled against one of the best offenses in the league. The offense on the other hand..

Have to make due without Rendon and Walsh.
