Gameday Thread (8/3/23): Mariners @ Angels: Ohtani on the mound, no Drury

[bloodbrother]

Ohtani's cramping rallied the offense

[HanfordGuy]

Moose!!!

[jsnpritchett]

New guys are coming through tonight!

[daygloman]

VERY NICE!

Go Halos!

[Duren, Duren]

The two big new power guys come through!

Just now, Duren, Duren said:

It's poetic justice that Cron swung at a high outside pitch and got a hit. He's getting solid wood on the ball most at bats. 

He really has had a lot of nice at bats, sadly ending in line outs.

 

MOOOOOOSE!!!!

[Revad]

Cron lumbers home for the lead! 2-1 Angels.

Come on, Fug em up 

[No Roles]

this is awesome...we had the wave going for moose  🫎...had him fired up..

lol

[TheLordofOuts]

Okay. We need a rain out right now

[No Roles]

Moore our 7th inning guy now

[khouse]

Great production tonight from Moose so let's just hope it continues for the rest of the season...

[gurn67]

I guess asking for two hits in the same game with RISP was a bit much since they haven't done that since they left Detroit.

[AvsBroncosAngels05]

Any hitter that can score Cron from first definitely gets props lol. Nice job Cron and Moose!

[Duren, Duren]

Now it's a classic bullpen scenario. Need a couple of innings to get to Estevez.

Unless Nevin decides to do something more exotic...in which case, the Angels lose by 3...

Matt Moore being Matt Moore. GO ANGELS!!!!!

[Revad]

Moore does his job.

[HanfordGuy]

[gurn67]

Moore has been such a solid signing. I can't remember the last time this team had a lefty coming out of the bullpen that was actually any good.

No. 3.2% walk rate and 33% K rate. I'm impressed he's continued to sustain quality production at the plate for this many AB's with his approach. Granted, the .432 BABIP is doing pretty much most of the heavy lifting here

His production is not sustainable.  His k rate is just awful for a guy that simply doesn’t walk.

Loup???

[Duren, Duren]

Moniak striking out against a lefty, so predictable. He's in a slump now. Maybe he needs a night off. But the depth is so shallow now. 

[eligrba4ever]

Nice stroke, Matt Thaiss!
