Gameday Thread (7/15/23) - Angels vs Astros

[AngelsFaninGA]

Looked like a play Rengifo could've made

[Blarg]

The difference between the Astos and the Angels is the Astros start the game knowing they will beat the Angels and the Angels go into the game not knowing if they can get 6 innings out of their starter.

Good hitting the past two games

Wise needs to go though.

Pitching has totally imploded in this 12 game stretch.

I agree on Wise needing to be evaluated. In all honesty the Angels have not had an excellent pitching coach and a solid pitching identity and direction since Bud Black left.

Out of position yet again.  Easy play if he's actually playing 2b.

Butcher was okay, was no Black though.

Doug White was the worst, pitchers didn’t understand how he communicated.

Seems like a lot of the good work that was done with the staff last year has been completely undone. Everyone's taken a big step back. 

[Angel Oracle]

Moore didn’t have it at all tonight.

You were wrong last time you said this.

Yep, Nevin was 29-28 to close 2022.

This past 12 games is eerily similar to that 14 game losing streak.

After tonight, the Tigers are closer to ending their playoff drought than the Angels. They will be 5 games out of the playoffs behind two mediocre teams. The Angels will be 6.5 games out behind 3 good teams and two mediocre ones.

If we're in the midst of a comparable streak, that will pave the way for an Ohtani trade. Still two full weeks to go. Timing is good.

...and the Angels will be closer to the Tigers' won/loss record than they are to the 3rd wild card.

Time to go back to swinging at garbage and putting up zero fight

The offense fought well tonight. The pitchers sucked ass though 

[Erstad Grit]

I wonder why Moore did no rehab assignment and went straight into a high leverage situation. Seems odd. And yes I thought it before he gave it up. 

[AngelsLakersFan]

Lol, they are still gonna find a way to get blown out

Meh, they did everything in 2 innings and were useless otherwise. And they continue to prove they can;t score if they don't homer

It’s a total implosion.   About to go 1-11

I think it has a lot to do with Davidson sucking ass

[AngelsFaninGA]

What even is this defense

Rengifo dove up the middle, ball bounced off his glove when his glove was on the SS side of 2nd base.  You claimed if he was playing a normal second base it would have been an out. That simply isn’t true.

Ohtani!

[daygloman]

He may as well play for personal records.....

The only place this team is going, is down.
