Gameday Thread: (9/3/23) Angels @ A's: Anderson on the mound, no Schanuel

[Angel Oracle]

And for freaking crying out loud, get a REAL conditioning staff in there.

If 7 seasons out of past 9 seasons being in the upper third for total IL days doesn’t get the point across to Chick Morono, nothing will!!!’

The A's fans paying to attend games deserve this.  You want to look at a fan base that is being traumatized, it's theirs.

There seem to be a few snags in the Las Vegas deal. The Oakland mayor seems to think there's a chance they might stay a while.

Chick Morono is more interested in yacht fuel.

He literally says this every year. Why pretend it’s different. It’s only different if the team changes its approach and everyone seems to believe Arte will never rebuild.  This isn’t a story.

Many are saying that the Angels are the shittiest team of all time.  

[gurn67]

This team can't even put together a good month, and all of us saps keep thinking every year that this is going to be THE YEAR they make the post season. lol

In the last 32 months of Angels' baseball, they have had one month where they played .600 baseball. They used to do it all the time. 18-12, 17-11, 16-10. Just playing 6 games over .500 for a month will get it done. You would think with the players they have had on the roster that they could put things together for at least ONE month each season.

However, the only time they managed to do that since August 2017, Maddon got fired a month later. lol

Release Kolton Ingram for making the team look bad...

1899 Cleveland Spiders. 

1962 Mets

...and others.

[SlappyUtilityMIF]

This is like watching a Sunday game full of weekend warriors..

But, that's a slap in the face to weekend warriors.

[SlappyUtilityMIF]

We need to trade for Kirby Snead STAT!

This dude would fit right in.

[eligrba4ever]

The Angels scored more today than Saturday and Friday combined. Outscored by Oakland 21-7.

[fan_since79]

Moniak scores. Rally time!

LOL 

[SlappyUtilityMIF]

Chad Wallach for MVP....

And yet in the WS 3 years later, Halis should only be so lucky.

That website offers a spin that is way off of what was actually reported. Trout consults with management every offseason and offers his suggestions. Based on his dubious durability in the past 4 seasons, he has his best opportunity by staying put.

Ohtani is just not the same since the injury.

This A's pitcher Snead really sucks.

1961 Phillies. Lost 23 straight games.

The 1999 Angels went through a 17-45 stretch from late June through early September, and won it all 3 years later. So, miracles do happen. That's why we all still follow this seemingly hapless franchise. Right?

[eligrba4ever]

How dim can the new and improved lighting system make that Halo anyway?

Angels finished the 2001 season 2-19 and started 2002, 6-14. Yes, miracles can happen.

SMGDMFH!
