Gameday Thread: (8/14/23) Angels @ Rangers: Sandoval vs Scherzer on the mound, Moniak leading off again

[Biergott]

This is absolutely embarrassing

[AvsBroncosAngels05]

Begging Angels fans to stay away from the Big A the rest of the goddamn year. These guys have quit so it's time for the fans to quit going. Make them play in front of a parking garage the rest of the year. I would assume everyone is used to staying away from the Big A in August and September so probably won't be a problem.

It's gonna take a lot of trips to the dispensary in order for me to watch more Angels baseball in 2023

The Angels are now 7-14 in games Detmers started and 7-14 in games Sandoval started. I think most of us thought they were going to be at least as good as they were last year, and I actually thought they would both be better.

If they were just average this year, and the team was 21-21 instead of 14-28 in their games, this team is probably a Wild Card team.

That was the best performance by Escobar since he’s been an Angel.

Also the best pitching performance of the night.

The only reason I could see going to the Big A to see the Angels from this point out is if Ohtani gets close to the 50 home run number, or to watch his last few games in an Angels' uniform.

That will be a hard sell to all of the fans that have traveled from Japan to watch Shohei Ohtani.

Scherzer pitched a good game, but does it count if its against the Angels?

[Angels in 2030]

If we get a few guys back from injury, then we’ll be in 1st place - comedy gold.  

[Angel Oracle]

Sandoval and Detmers are both GUTLESS!!!

Someone on the coaching staff needs to challenge them!

They aren’t kids anymore.

An NHK announcer said, "For the Angels, it was a completely fruitless day."

[Sho Way That Was A Strike]

It’s okay guys. Perry believes in this team and Nevin says they have a good approach at the plate, which I assume means they walk to it the right way. 
 

We are good.

I want to see C.J. Sandoval get jettisoned but I just know he'll go somewhere else and be a star. Decisions decisions....

All it’ll take is someone else’s trash and a 32 year old career minor leaguer to help this team. 
 

Make it happen!

A few of these guys I absolutely believe would play better elsewhere. All of them would have career games against our guys.

Hope you are enjoying all of this, Arte Moreno.

[VladdyforHOF]

This team is such a shitshow. Tonight was the night to get back to .500 and never look back. Now they have to win this series just to get back to .500

[Angelsjunky]

3-10 since trade deadline. 

So much for Perry's Gambit. Trades away the future and blows the present in the process.

[SoCalDucksFan]

Maybe Arte's buddy can ask for just 13 runs.  That's all they needed.

WTF "present" was there to blow?  You've gone from constantly being overly optimistic to complaining about shit that makes no sense

Lighten up, Francis. Just pointing out that Perry's moves hurt the future and didn't improve the present - in fact, the Angels have been in one of their worst funks after his moves. They were 56-51 at the deadline, now are 59-61. Go figure.
