Gameday Thread (6/4/23): Angels @ Astros

[Swordsman78]

What is Nevin doing putting in Devenski?  He's only retired the last 17 batters he's faced.  We need to Fire everyone.

[Swordsman78]

Hows that for Deeeefense!!  GIO!

I remember when I was a little kid asking my dad if a narrator reads the opening to Law & Order every episode, because it always sounded exactly the same ("In the criminal justice system...) He explained to me that it was a recording and that's why it sounded exactly the same.

I wonder if Randazzo does the same thing with "Angels threaten but don't score." It feels like I've heard it 200 times this season and it always sounds the same. 

 

It's like Terry Smith: "Angels go down quickly in a 7-pitch inning." 

When Pujols was here I heard him say, "Chopper to third..." about a thousand times.

Before we jump to conclusions, we should wait for Docwaukee to update Trouts various metrics, RISP, SLGA, OPS, etc and confirm that we are wrong as usual 

@Justin and @Jason were right.  That was ugly by Trout.  

you're still wrong though (I don't know about what.  I'm just playing the odds).  

[Swordsman78]

Now you know why we don't bunt. 

[fan_since79]

We're actually ahead now?!

Thanks, Shohei!

[Slegnaac]

Clutch !!!

It's hard to believe that with a runner on  1B and 2 outs, the Angels almost never try to steal. That is all on Nevin.

 

Now you know.   

Angels up 2-1 thx to not getting Neto thrown out tryna steal.

SHO GETS THE LEAD!!! 

NOW HOLD IT, ANGELS!!!!

Thanks, Shohei! And Thx Nevin for not getting Neto thrown out trying to steal 2nd.

FIFY

[fan_since79]

Trout...what the hell is wrong?

[Farmbuildingfan]

I wonder how much of this dismal series can be attributed to the gift win the hp umpire gave Houston the first game. It probably sucked lots of momentum from them and could have altered the whole series

[eligrba4ever]

Did Gubi say 9-flat from first to home? That be flying.

[eligrba4ever]

Devo gets his 5. Estevez in for four-out save.

[fan_since79]

Rangers up on Seattle 7-0 in the 4th inning.

 

[eligrba4ever]

PAD THE LEAD!!! PAD THE LEAD!!! PAD THE LEAD!!!

Finally Seattle is playing a decent team.

As long as it doesn't cause Estevez to get too cold.

[Farmbuildingfan]

The way the year has gone, I give Houston a 50% chance of tying or winning in the 9th.

[eligrba4ever]

GO ESTEVEZ!!!!!

[Swordsman78]

[fan_since79]

We win!!!

Season not over.

[eligrba4ever]

LIGHT IT UP!!!

[m0nkey]

Season saved!

[Angelsjunky]

Fuck. I was really hoping for the four-game sweep, and a total implosion of the ball club and fan-base.
