Gameday Thread: (8/6/23) Mariners @ Angels: Silseth on the mound

[jsnpritchett]

Moustakas seems to be going the other way quite a bit recently.  He's definitely been hot.

Drury ties it up. 

That kind of day??

An absolutely beautiful approach by Moose to go opposite field there.  Awesome swing.

Unfortunately, it leaves the Angels with 2nd and 3rd with less than 2 outs.  Their  kryptonite 

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

R. Grichuk needs to learn to take a walk

[UndertheHalo]

More fucking terrible execution 

[eligrba4ever]

Moniak is 23rd in MLB in his strikeout rate.

How terrible do the umps have to be before the computers take over? So many calls this year have been beyond awful. 

I really think the Angels would have about 4-5 more wins this year if we had robotic umps, including last two Friday nights against The Blue Jays and Mariners.

He's on track to be No. 1 in strikeouts per AB.

They'd have more wins to if they didn't swing at pitches way out of the strike zone with RISP. I think if those pitches had been over their head, Grichuk and Moniak would have swung at them.

The calls in Toronto were indefensible.

Love your username btw.

The Seattle announcer called the place a sweatbox. It's already nearly 90.

Miserable

Nice change up from Silseth to get that K

[jsnpritchett]

Silseth is looking good since that first pitch HR.

[Jason]

Stupid ass umpire 

[Jason]

Lol at Renfroe swing at that

Starting to think he's got money on the Mariners this series.

If the umpire is going to continue to call the high strike out of the zone, I’d assume the Angels are going to have to swing at that shit out of the zone.

That doesn’t surprise me

Miller's gonna shatter the single-game strikeout record if our hitters don't get their heads out of their asses.

Where's the coaching?! They do most everything wrong in the batter's box.

This isn't a coaching issue. There is a lack of talent that comes into play here.
