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

[CaliAngel]

lol of course a bases loaded dribbler is an infield base hit for a run...

[SoCalDucksFan]

Close the book on Sandoval.

[Biergott]

Remember when Sandoval dominated the WBC?   Pepperidge Farms remembers 

[CaliAngel]

I feel like you should have to earn the privilege of having an MLB logo tatt on your neck.

Barria clearly has not.

somehow the angels need to find some speed...all these playoff teams we have been playing lately have tons of speed that is game changing !!

[T.G.]

Some how the Angels have to find players that don't suck

[Angelsjunky]

Meanwhile, the Astros are in 1st and plowed through the Rangers, who are half a game out of a wildcard berth.

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...

Pitchers are supposed to bear down and suck it up when the fielders make a mistake. It's the same when the pitchers walk a few guys, the fielders are extra focused to maybe turn a double play to get out of the inning. Angels' pitchers seem to crumble at the first sign of trouble.

[gurn67]

Angels hitters doing fine tonight as long as no one is occupying first base.

[Angel Oracle]

Any further proof why the Cheaters gave away Sandoval for Maldonado?

[CaliAngel]

I know it's been posted that Moustakas is not all he's been cracked up to be, but it seems every game I watch he does 1 thing productive. 

Like at least having a sac fly with a guy on 3rd when we're SO used to seeing k's or infield dribblers stranding the runner.

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 !!

Rengifo is the better trade bait, after two solid seasons and having two years of control.

[jsnpritchett]

O'Hoppe now 8 for 54 since coming back.

i agree he would be more attractive to other teams, but i like him to stay put  and just improve on getting out of the gates a little stronger !!!

All those ex-Angels Cleveland pitchers have a 4-game series in the Halos native burial ground this weekend. 

Gio may throw a perfecto.

T.G. doesn't need any research to tell him O'Hoppe sucks.

[No Roles]

it just seems the o's don't have the pitching it takes to lift the trophy !!! if this depleted halos team can put up multiple runs on them in consecutive games, imagine what the real good teams will do to their pitching staff in the playoffs !!!

[CaliAngel]

what's up with you and all the exclamation marks

Did you let Elaine Benes get to you?

Thank you Captain Obvious for making the obvious to those who obviously need to have things made more obvious to them.
