Gameday Thread: (8/27/23 9am on Peacock) Canning on the mound, Schanuel out again

[jsnpritchett]

I'm happy the Angels have won the first two games of this series and have a shot at the sweep today--but, man, this whole series has been so dull so far.  I guess that's what you get in a late-season series between two disappointing teams, especially when you add in injuries and trades that have depleted the teams.

I like the catcher cam POV. It really does give you the look at how much each pitch moves from mound, mid way and then drops to the glove. Some of those pitches look like they just fall out of the sky 20 feet from the plate.

Why?

Terry Smith the charitable spin master:

"If you look at the Angels four through nine, these hitters are in a bit of a slump right now."

The Angels scored 5 runs last night and nearly killed a guy. Not many games have that much going on.

The season has been heart breaking.  It tough to be positive but you have to look at the young guys for some promise of better days in the future.  Mickey, Logan, Zack, Nolan, Griffin and others gives all some hope as they continue to further hone their skills.

Not to mention seeing the next Johnny Bench do his Jeff Mathis impersonation and throw to a base with no runners at that base.

Damn you, @Jeff Fletcher!

that just sums up the season for the halos; make a diving stop to keep it to an infield single and the runner on 2nd still scores !!

[fan_since79]

Mets score first. No worries.

With our outstanding lineup of quality hitters, we should have no trouble winning this game.

Very nice play.

Nick Swisher just suggested that Ohtani could have a shot at a 40-30 or even a 40-40 season.  He currently has 19 stolen bases and there are 32 games left.  He's not gonna get 21 SBs in the next 32 games.

He could if they keep walking him

[No Roles]

well the mets fans are feeling the devestation of this season too...one fan wearing a scherzer jersey with a verlander backpack...lol

[No Roles]

with this line up we would make any pitcher look like a cy young candidate...

[fan_since79]

The logical part of me suggests the Phillies will annihilate us this week.

The hopeful part says we might actually win a game.
