Gameday Thread (6/13/23): Angels @ Rangers - Moniak in CF for Trout

[TheLordofOuts]

Jeez.  The Rangers line-up has 6 guys hitting above .800 OPS. 

[Erstad Grit]

Rendon 1-19 since his return

[gurn67]

The 3 Ren's need to get a rally going here.

 

Update. I guess not.

[TheLordofOuts]

Come on, make this guy pitch

I understand the need to rest Trout but not get against AL West foes, and certainly not the Rangers.

The turf in Texas is not good. So you sit him or you sit Shohei. 

[full circle]

Rendon and Renfroe really lighting it up. 

[gurn67]

Two hits in 4 innings against a mediocre lefty at best. Nice going Angels.

[TheLordofOuts]

Hang in there, Jaime

[Angel Oracle]

Cy Bradford, it figures.

Guy throws no better than Anderson.

[drpiranha]

Angels always seem to suck against pitchers that have never seen before.

[daygloman]

FUCK.

But I suppose it could be worse!?

Go Halos!

 

[Erstad Grit]

Ump has a huuuuuge zone and Barria keeps throwing right down the middle

[TheLordofOuts]

Any chance the Halos bring up Trey Cabbage from Salt Lake.  He seems to be having a pretty good year, can't be worse than Walsh

Surprised we haven't signed Hosmer

They aren't bringing Cabbage up (barring injury) before September. He is a lousy fielder and he has been in a big slump this month.

[Angelsjunky]

I think I cracked the code of Rendon: he's on about a 6-8 week cycle. He takes about three weeks to heat up, then hits well for a week, then gets injured for a few weeks. So we have:

3 weeks: heating up, from bad to ok

1 week: hits well

2-4 weeks: out with injury

and repeat...

[drpiranha]

This ump is laughable. He must have called over 20 pitches that were balls, strikes.

Advance scouting issue

Fire his ass!!!!

Who is he?  Eric Gregg reincarnated?

[TheLordofOuts]

We'll take it

[T.G.]

Renfroe goes yard!

[Revad]

A free run!  Then Renfroe hits a two run shot!

[T.G.]

4-3 Halos!

[TheLordofOuts]

The Rens are driving in the runs
