Gameday Thread (6/12/23): Angels @ Rangers


mmc

Recommended Posts

Hell of a game! It would have been a really deflating loss.

Ohtani looked as emotional as I've ever seen him. Being in a race playing important games has him pumped. Nice to see.

Can Anderson ever avoid those five run starts? Lucky for him that the bullpen held and the offense came alive. 

Disinformation or pure biased spin? On Drury's ejection the Ranger broadcast never replayed the missed call with the strike zone box. Even though it was shown on the original pitch. They showed side views and the pitch without the box. And spun it as a pure strike. As well, they make little comments like saying "oh no" when Wallach homered. Very smug and condescending in general. 

I'd love to see them get smacked around and get brought down to earth this series.

This was a fantastic game. Some big hits when it counted and against a quality opponent. It was good to see Loup pitch well. If not for the throwing error, it would've been a clean inning. Fairly low pressure situation, but he did make some good pitches. That is another positive sign. Neto continues to impress me. Am I wrong, or is Thaiss just continuing to get better and better. He was an infielder at one time, third base if my memory is correct. He is needed behind the plate now, but I think maybe the Angels might consider moving him to first or third come next season as O'Hoppe will be back.

Did he pitch tonight?

Yes sir, sure seems like he made all the right moves tonight.

Just a nitpick..but I was second guessing the pinch hit for Walsh with Renigfo in the 7th.(in hindsight of course)

I would of stayed with Walsh and the better defense in that situation.

Drury did do something errant in the next inning I believe, which could have been big!

This one is in Nevin.

man, what a game! 

this was a great game for a lot of reasons, most of which have already been mentioned. what i saw tonight was passion and fire from a team that has sorely lacked both. the visible display from wallach on his homer trot especially stood out to me. they did NOT want to lose this game, and they played accordingly.

the other thing that really stood out for me was randazzo and how he called this game. we've all heard plenty of crappy calls of games, but tonight stood tall as to how a broadcaster should call a game. he was just as passionate as the players, and i think this was his best game of the season by far.

now let's go win tomorrow night. go halos!

Reyes was brought up when they put Joyce on the IL. Webb probably available as well. And of course Davidson lol

Reyes was sent down when Herget was brought up. Barria, hopefully can go 6. Webb and Herget can combine for 3 innings between them if Barria can only go 5. Estevez in the 9th for a save situation...Davidson if they are losing.

I like Mark Langston's Three Rules of Pitching.

Work fast, keep the ball down, and throw strikes.

Yep, fan of Langston. 

Makes listening to the radio feed worth it. 

Wish we had a better Play by Play guy to go with Langston for radio.

Look how much better the TV booth is with Randazzo, it went from poor to great.

The emotion was tangible. On defense, at the plate, on the mound and in the dug out. You have to think Nevin was a factor in this. Maybe some of the veterans too were talking before the series started. But even the young guys were battling and fought hard.

Unfortunately with MLB Extra Innings every game is with the home broadcast. But it is informative. You get to see how the rest of the home media in each city filter and spin things. And their observations about the Angels reflect various opinions, but usually more a general consensus than unique perspectives. Some broadcasters are more informed, others hardly at all. And just about all of them (Angels included) talk and socialize with their counterparts when going to a new city. 

There is a big difference between home team broadcasts and national network/streaming broadcasts. The national ones try to be more neutral and impartial. The home broadcasts are all intentionally geared for a specific market and filled with constant local anecdotes and references.

It's like that in other sports too, but not to the same extent because baseball is played just about every day and becomes something like an on going soap opera.

Yeah, that was a frozen rope!

My bad, this wasn't even the one I was thinking of.

He had a throw earlier in the game from deep short that defied gravity.

A laser!
