Gameday Thread: (8/28/23 3:40pm Pacific) Angels @ Phillies: Giolito on the mound, Schanuel back

[jsnpritchett]

Lol, Trea Turner with ANOTHER HR.  Angels down 5-3.  Get Giolito outta there.

[Angel Oracle]

If Giolito keeps this up, that trade becomes Lopez for Quero and Bush, and that’s if they re-sign Lopez.

Minasian has work to do with regard to mid-season acquisitions.

At least Moose and Lopez worked out.

I thought Turner was just average this season.

Forget about Giolito and go after Yamamoto.   Not a fan of pitchers who give up HRs with men on base and have a bad inning too often.

Bad trade man, bad bleeping trade!

I know Bush has really struggled, but giving up Quero for THIS???

Giolito has been atrocious. Where do they find these guys?

I don't think you can "count" Lopez past this year, even if the Angels do sign him.  There's no way to tell if he would have signed here, regardless.

Also, I know folks on here love Moustakas and there's no doubt he's been good in certain situations--but if you look at the underlying data, there are some troubling patterns (K/BB rates, exit velocity, GB %).  I'm still ok bringing him back on a one-year, low-value deal--but I think people need to chill on him just a bit.

I always saw Moose as mainly someone to have through 2024.

from teams that are performing poorly with them on the team

[Angel Oracle]

I did predict a Phillies sweep in the last 34 games thread, but Giolito’s pitching is just plain ugly tonight.

Starting to look like that Braves debacle

Nothing like batting practice

And they traded Quero for this????

.871 OPS in 81 PAs (14/11 Ks/BBs) for the ChiSox AA team at age 20!!!!

Five years from now, may be one of the WORST Halos trades ever.

Giolito has to be one of the all-time bad acquisitions. I’m looking forward to seeing him not here next year. And his 15-6 record with another team.  

Also, Cabbage is chasing butterflies out there. 

[Sho Way That Was A Strike]

Oh good. Poup is in.

With the exception of Moose, Perry is 0 for the trade deadline…..he was with Anthopolous in 21, picking up Joc Pederson, Solar and Eddie Rosario at the deadline,which pushed the Braves to a Championship…..he sure didn’t show the same touch this year…..

Didn't Yamamoto plan the surprise attack on Pearl Harbor?

Moose 1 year deal 4 mill. I wait and sign him late in off season as he will not be in high demand with his age. I do like Moose and Drury as vets in clubhouse. If Ohtani leaves could get some ab at DH.

renfroe with risp this year...such a letdown

[Sho Way That Was A Strike]

Renfroe is an automatic out. I can see why Nevin put him in there. 

[Angel Oracle]

Only 34 more days left of Renzeroes hitting with RISP

[Angel Oracle]

This team needs an enema in the off-season.

Moreno probably told Minasian to trade his top prospect.

You didn’t have to do it for a mediocre pitcher!!!!

a solid .168 i think we will be able to replace that with "ease"

[No Roles]

the most the halos have won by is 3 runs all month (just once)...hope that changes in the next couple of days !!!

[Longtimesufferer]

When was the last time Angels showed any guts and won a game in the 9th inning?

[Angels 1961]

This off season will need at least 6 new BP pieces.

[jsnpritchett]

Go ahead and get your Debbie Downer reactions ready...

Moustakas' OPS with the Angels: .703.  With the Rockies: .795.

O'Hoppe is now 3 for 28 since he returned.

On the upside, Moniak is now 10 for his last 26.
