Gameday Thread: (8/15/23) Angels @ Rangers: Giolito on the mound, Adams in CF, Cron back, no Moustakas

[UndertheHalo]

The dog shit here being Mr. Lucas Giolito. 

[CaliAngel]

Oh look at that, a sac fly to score a run.

It would be great if the Angels knew how to do that.

Not like they're a professional ball team or anything.

It appears that we are encountering yet another example of a player coming to the Angels and transforming into dog shit.  

But "let's keep Nevin and the coaching staff, it's all on the players"

Giolito will need to shut them out for 6 innings.

 

4 runs in 4 innings so far.  He clearly didn't listen to you.

Nevin isn’t a pitching guy and never has been.  But Matt Wise is really looking like a guy that is a problem.  No doubt about that.

Listen pal.  That’s a rock solid 9 ERA

Strad wants us to be the team to throw him a mega multi-year contract, lol. Based on what I'm not sure. I'd rather bring up the next Detmers to replace him, at least it would be cheap and have some sort of potential.

[VladdyforHOF]

What in the world was that AB by Adams...

[Duren, Duren]

Adams and Adell. Outfield of the future. The far distant future apparently.

Watch it pal, Strad's never wrong.

Even if you're right, he'll call you names.

And that will probably hurt your feelings.

[VladdyforHOF]

Rengifo does something. Yay. Now Expect Ohtani to not come through with runners on and a chance to tie.

[jsnpritchett]

At least they're making Montgomery work here. 

...and as I'm typing that, Othani takes a third strike right down the middle.

[VladdyforHOF]

Ohtani watches a batting practice pitch go by for strike three looking. Even Ohtani looks like he doesn't give a fuck right now.

I was already put on silence for a week recently for calling him names back. I'm not emotionally invested enough in AngelsWin to actually get my feelings hurt here. I'm way too strong for that.

Why would he?

So the Angels pitcher can immediately give the runs back with a couple lead off walks and a homer?

What do you mean “put on silent” ?

Because it looked like he was going to make a run at 63 HR, but it appears that dream is over.

So he can have an MVP award taken from him anyway because he's wearing a Halo uniform lol...

literally just being a sarcastic ass right now

Are you saying you were temporarily put in time out AKA banned or are you claiming that Chuck has some kind of shadow ban mechanism on the forum.  

[fan_since79]

10 strikeouts by Ranger pitching.

 

[jsnpritchett]

Moniak comes in to face the righty and immediately swings at the first pitch.  I hope he can at least find some middle ground between his crazy-hot start and whatever the hell he's going through now.
