Gameday Thread (7/01/23): Angels vs Diamondbacks

[Angel Oracle]

Cy Henry 

Cy Nelson 

Great offense 

Expecting this offense lately to rally from down 3-1 is expecting a lot.

[Mark68]

This team excels at giving up 2-out runs.

Take away last Saturday, and they’ve mostly sucked the past 16 days.

Last Saturday turned out to be a nothing burger…a one off…

And then immediately settling down after the damage has been done

Nope. 

Sorry. I fell asleep. I just assumed Trout was in scoring position.

Again, why? He is a sunk cost but of no MLB value. Maybe getting kicked out the door for good might make him work his way back on another team but he is simply broken in an Angels uniform. He is a waste of resources and would only take playing time from some kid trying to make his way to the majors.

I’m not a Fletcher fan so it doesn’t matter to me. But he, Rengifo and Velazquez are all the same except two of them have options. So I could see the demotion happen. 

[HanfordGuy]

They’ll simply call this game “The Comeback.”

[HanfordGuy]

Of course first pitch swinging on Nelson hasn’t been a good approach.

[HeavenlyHalos]

This offense is so bad right now. WTF?? Nelson is not a good pitcher and we can't do shit against him. This team is so damn frustrating.

[AngelsFaninGA]

Lol Ryne Nelson about to pitch a complete game against us

[Mark68]

This team also excels at first-pitch weak contact.

The offense has been cheeks for almost a month 

Edit- this months schedule is brutal. Already starting out like I thought 

they’ll be sellers by month end 

yeah and if we won half of our blown saves, we would be 51-33...

[HanfordGuy]

Nelson has yet to break a sweat.

Arte will never be a seller.

We can't overstate how much Neto and O' Hoppe are missed.

[Docwaukee]

82 to 153.  

that's the Dbacks vs. Angels pitch counts through 7 innings.  

[Angel Oracle]

Hitters are just going through the motions.

Disgraceful 

And now the clincher:  Poup in

[Slegnaac]

5 pitches 3 outs

I think the coaching staff needs a closed door meeting and they all be a little honest about how they are fucking up and how to fix their situation.

And therein lies the problem. In more ways than one.

Urshela was a big blow also

[Angel Oracle]

Save it Gubicza!

Gallen will only allow 0 to 2 runs tomorrow.

[Mark68]

Loup actually showing them how it's done--with a 9-pitch inning. 

[Angel Oracle]

Why does Rendon throw sidearm?

[Waybackman]

Loup is now our best reliever

Urshela kept Fletcher and Squid in AAA. That was a big win for nearly half the season.
