Gameday Thread (6/1/23): Angels @ Astros - Detmers on the mound, Drury moved to cleanup

[Don3347]

With all the gambling commercials calls like this makes me wonder. 

[VladdyforHOF]

Ohtani and Trout can look themselves right in the mirror as a reason why this team isn't in 1st. They crumble in big moments.

Hit the showers nevin

Robo umps. The technology is there. There's too much money involved for mistakes that bad to be allowed to happen.

Should be allowed 1 challenge of ball and strike call.  It's the next step before Robo umps.

Starting to wonder if trout is even happy here anymore 

if we can find a team who will take his contract we should have done that trade yesterday

We need an outfielder like Yandy Diaz, right?

[greginpsca]

The ump sure turned this game around. Asshole.

No-trade clause

What happened to 2nd half 2022 Detmers?

Exactly.  Tired of everyone feeling sorry for them not being in the playoffs.

He’d be happy to waive for the Yankees or dodgers 

he told me at lunch today

edit- probably any winning franchise 

[Angel Oracle]

Halos have the 3rd best BA in MLB the first 3 innings.

Halos have the 2nd worst BA in MLB the last 3 innings.

What causes that?

Hitters can’t handle late game pressure?

Hey @Lou, off-topic but I thought this would make you happy. 

I just got a sneak peak of @WicketMaiden's feature story he's been cooking up titled: "You love cricket, you just don't know it yet".

Should get posted on the blog/forum sometime tomorrow.

I think age is starting to creep up on him. Obviously he isn’t the same player anymore but he’s still good

According to Docwaukee...

"2-3-4 hitters.  

the Angels have the 12 most RBI and 12 fewest K's.  

For perspective, Drew Brees has almost double the passing yards than that of fellow hall of famer Johnny Unitas.  

they also have the 7th most runs, the 4th highest avg, the 6th most walks, the 9th most hits, the 10th highest BA with RISP, and the 7th best wRC+ with RISP".

Nice

[Swordsman78]

I despise the Cheaters.

[VladdyforHOF]

Angels have had the lead in a huge percentage of the games this season and ended up losing a bunch of them. Tonight will be another one of them. Blame pitching performances like Detmers tonight, bad fundamental baseball, and a monkey brain approach in high pressure situations.

[Halo in Chicago]

Angels should use an opener in front of Detmers so he can get through 6…

[Angel Oracle]

Joyce bringing the heat, nothing under 100

[Swordsman78]

Sometimes umps become too attached with trying to go viral with a "wrung 'em up" call/

Urshela missed a routine play or else this game would still be tied. But agree on everything else.
