Gameday Thread: (9/6/23) Orioles @ Angels: Sandoval on the mound, still no Ohtani

[No Roles]

i'm pretty positive sandoval will give the 2 runs right back 

[Angel Oracle]

The only hope for the mental misfit Sandoval is a Ken Ravissa clone.

[SoCalDucksFan]

Too bad they dug themselves a 5 run hole.

[gurn67]

It's like a negative Rengifo Effect. When he was sucking during the first half, they were winning games. When he started mashing in the 2nd half, they started losing games. 

[CaliAngel]

Those two Hank Conger looking dudes were stoked to catch that Rengifo shot.

[eligrba4ever]

Rengifo for Angels Team MVP!! He is still playing with a purpose!!!

I agree. 

[No Roles]

not sure why the halos keep playing grichuk...the more they display him the harder it will be to get rid of him !!!

[eligrba4ever]

Sandoval finishes 5 innings (unexpected) down by 3 runs (sort of expected). If he faces another batter, he'll be over 100 pitches.

I think this is the third or fourth game in a row without a hitter with an .800+ OPS in the lineup.

i noticed that too...but then you see the names and the mystery is solved

[eligrba4ever]

Jim Palmer looks pretty trim for a geezer of 77. How's his fastball these days?

It seems like the Angels' pitchers give up an excessive amount of unearned runs after errors have been committed. So, I decided to look it up. Going into today, there are 7 teams that have committed 80, or more, errors. I'm purposely comparing to teams that have made a lot of errors because those are the pitching staffs that have had to deal with the most runners on base that shouldn't have been there in the first place.

Total errors / total unearned runs scored:

Giants 96/55

Red Sox 94/50

Tigers 89/52

A's 85/49

Pirates 80/57

Marlins 80/45

So, on average, those teams have committed  87 errors and have given up 51 unearned runs.

The Angels???

85 errors and 78 unearned runs!!! Almost 1 for 1 That's including the error, and 3 unearned runs given up tonight.

Same amount of errors as the A's, but 29 more unearned runs allowed

[T.G.]

I wonder if @Tank went to the musical theater.

[No Roles]

no way schaneul is a lead off batter...you can't run like molasses and bat 1st on a team that actually wins

Wow! Great research! 

Definitely has seemed like teams take advantage of us giving them extra outs, and that proves it.

Of course that's what professional ball teams are supposed to do, seems the Angels got that message lost in the mail...

[T.G.]

Everyone's favorite pitcher is entering the game!

[T.G.]

I don’t need any research to tell me the team sucks.

[No Roles]

the angels should try to get rhys hoskins on a team friendly deal in the off season...

[eligrba4ever]

Sandoval's night ends with no outs and 2 BBs into the sixth.

[CaliAngel]

Mateo batting .212 and Sandy walks him for his last batter of the game, putting 2 runners on, and managing to not get an out in the 6th.

[Angel Oracle]

Has there ever been a time where Sandoval the mental misfit didn’t melt under pressure?

[jsnpritchett]

Sandoval now has 66 walks in 131 2/3 innings.

i think schanuel is a great prospect to trade for another starting pitcher !!! besides getting on base he doesn't really fit the ideal first baseman !!
