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

[jsnpritchett]

Rengifo with the go-ahead HR!

luis crushed it but just a hit well from the announcer...jump in Gubie THAT WAS HUGE

[CaliforniaYankee]

Gifo !!!

[eligrba4ever]

Wish Ohtani could hit like Rengifo -- for today.

man obviously luis is a little freak of nature with those guns at his size, but he hit that hr near the middle of the bat nowhere near the sweet spot (POWER UP) and it got out no doubt!!!

if the astros somehow miss the playoffs i'll call "23" a productive mlb season

[Halo in Chicago]

Hard luck for Canning. He deserved better today. 

[Stradling]

Should have pitched around Alonso.  

[eligrba4ever]

Start a 9th inning rallly, Grichuk!!!!

[CaliforniaYankee]

Is this the start of heart break time ?

[BTH]

Hey @Swordsman78, your genius manager just let Pete Alonso beat them when they could’ve just walked him and faced Danny Mendick instead.

How dare you question Nevin.  

“Where was your post questioning the decision before Alonso got the hit”

-some guy on here

[eligrba4ever]

Come on, Renfroe. Channel your first-half self.

oh gosh trying to get out of the way of an inside pitch and  it becomes a strikeout instead of walk...the things that happen to the halos are incredibly just sad...

[CaliforniaYankee]

Damn

[CaliforniaYankee]

Lets Go Mickey

He's now barely hitting over .200 in the 7th inning on later.

Thought he might play himself in to being a 4th OF’er possibility for next year…probably not…

[No Roles]

well let's hope the same thing happens as the last peacock broadcast...ANGELS WIN IN EXTRAS

[eligrba4ever]

Moniak ended that 9th quickly. Come on, Halos. Force extra innings!!!

[jsnpritchett]

Moniak fighting hard to hang onto that .800+ OPS.  He's been bouncing between a few points above/below the past few games.  Very curious to see how he finishes out the year now.  For a while, it looked like he could be a solid platoon option for next year, but with this extended slump (even against righties), it's hard to say how valuable he can be.  Roster construction/organizational depth probably means he's got a spot next year, but it's going to be interesting.

That did not look like it hit Alvarez.

[Stradling]

They won’t over turn that. 

[eligrba4ever]

That ain't a way to keep this tied, Mr. Lopez. 

Pending review.

now an 0-2 hbp...this team is just a disaster to themselves
