Gameday Thread: (8/9/23) Giants @ Angels: Ohtani on the mound

[VladdyforHOF]

It's not like Estevez threw the ball well there. Every ball was smoked. I'm still not convinced this guy should be closing out games.

They don't play tomorrow.

If they somehow go 4 of 6 on this Houston/Texas roadtrip I may torment myself again into thinking they still have a chance. 

[gurn67]

It's a start. Now they have to get at least 2 against the Astros. At some point these guys have to start hitting. 4 for 28 tonight. Thank God for Moose!!!

Really tough to do when they aren't playing.

The Angels keep winning for @Lou 

Had this rainbow in my backyard today and I thought of Lou.

He's been here 6 years, all of them the prime years of Trout and likely himself, too, plus Rendon, and his legacy thus far is "potentially the greatest player ever and the team is such a joke that they can't even make the playoffs". Maybe to actually have a better legacy, he needs to go somewhere else. 

Wow....what traitor post.   Posing as an all in Angel fan then urging the halos beat player to leave. 
 

If we wanted to be subjected to takes like this, we'd be on the espn boards.  
 

Just lost any shred of credibility left.  (Not with me cuz I smoked you out earlier).  But some funugees may have thought you were knowledgeable.

It has nothing to do with that… 

 

if the angels wrap up the 2 games he blew this week they are still within spitting distance of the final wild card. 7 games back rather than 5 after tonight.

 

5 seems doable, 7 not so much.  

It has everything to do with that. So if he had two blown games earlier this year instead of this week where are we at in the standings? 

[aznhockeyguy]

Rendon this season: 43 games: .236/.361/.318 2 HRs 22 RBIs $38.5 mil

Moustakas w/the Angels coming into tonight's game: 33 games: .278/.308/.468 6 HR 20 RBI's $720,000

[The Ghost of Bob Starr]

No more losses the rest of the season.  Calling it here.

He had 3 hard hit balls, an 80 mph ground ball and a pop up.

Sorry, Phil. In the future, I'll try to only post things that will meet with your approval.

The important thing was his throwing strikes.   The first step on the road to closer recovery
