Gameday Thread: (7/29/23 12pm Pacific) Angels @ Blue Jays: Detmers on the mound, no Neto

[bloodbrother]

Just some consistently very poor quality of AB's across the board the moment this team gets guys in scoring position. Honestly impressive

[HeavenlyHalos]

This is unbelievable. 0 for freaking 9 with RISP now. Up to Rengifo to change that. 

[Slegnaac]

All we need is a single here

[AngelsLakersFan]

Too many bad hitters in the lineup at this point. This is a constant issue for this team over the years. It's hard to string together hits when you have guys who cant hit scattered through the lineup.

Lack of decent coaching, and brain dead hitters with no understanding of how to conduct themselves in the batter's box.

Come on Ohtani

Two of the douchiest guys in baseball.

Rengifo had a terrific at bat.

Damn you are one obstinate fool.

You hit a Blue Jays batter and your pitcher gets suspended, maybe even the interim manager. It could also trigger a bean ball war which the Angels can't afford another injured player. 

The Angels only lose in your scenario. 

Probably right there…we’re in a pennant race, pick your spot…..They waited awhile to get Marcinak….who I did not think was dirty, thought it was a hard play but clean….but, it needed to be answered and Noe Ramirez did…agree to disagree….

Up to our superhero to save us here. Pitching change.

Of course, they might walk him.

To be fair, that's kind of difficult when 7 of your 9 opening starters are injured...

[TurboFan]

Who could have imagined in April that nearing the trade deadline we would be “all-in” yet fielding an infield of Escobar, Velazquez, Stefanic and Moose, with Rengifo in left ?

Just have too many sub optimal bats forced into the lineup due to all the injuries to hitters that continue to mount

Shohei pls

Yes, but it seems to happen every year, for whatever reason. Usually we start with more bad players than we did this year.

[AngelsLakersFan]

Mickey pls

 

pls

[daygloman]

Pussy's!

[Sully151]

Fuck this. Pitch to the guy.

[Blarg]

That is the biggest douche move to replace the pitcher, then after the batter is in the box call an intentional walk. 

[AngelsLakersFan]

Mickey if you are going to strikeout at least do it on pitches in the strike zone

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Jeff Fletcher

Logan O’Hoppe said he will start taking regular overhand BP tomorrow. He has been catching from a machine. “I feel like I could play tonight,” O’Hoppe said. #Angels

Chapman really made the only manager decision the Jays needed in this series

[HeavenlyHalos]

Not only can they not get a damn hit, which you'd think just by dumb luck they would have had one or two by now, but they can't move the runners over either. Overall massive levels of team failure. Chapman proving them right. I fucking hate this team sometimes

[AngelsLakersFan]

You gotta figure at some point one of these losers is going to get a hit just by accident

[m0nkey]

Haha we're mad at the Jays because our guys can't hit
