Gameday Thread: (8/18/23): Rays @ Angels: Schanuel leading off & O'Hoppe is back!

[DMVol]

Moniak needs to sit. And I know we don’t have good options until Trout gets back. He isn’t working his way out of this slump. He’s just totally lost.

Vasgersian just said Matt Olson didn't hit for a ton of power when he first came up.  He got a cup of coffee in 2016, then played 59 games in 2017--and his 24 HR.  He hit 29 the next year, then 36, so I have no idea what Vasgersian is talking about.

Loved how they cheered the walk....  Also, not making outs is a good thing.

I think he got him and Freddie Freeman confused.

"Grand slam" is "manrui home run (満塁ホームラン)" in Japanese.
"Manrui (満塁)" means ”bases-loaded”.

It should be 5-2, but the defense.
