Gameday Thread: (9/8/23) Guardians @ Angels: Canning on the mound, Adams in RF, no Rengifo or Ohtani

[fan_since79]

Nevin's given up on this game. Nobody even warming in the pen.

This pitcher is gruesome. 

[Waybackman]

Total disrespect for Canning. No wonder he was pissed. Only a one-run game and he’s pulled with just 92 pitches. 

[daygloman]

FAR OUT!

Go Halos!

[AngelsMetsWS]

Another inning of adventuresome pitching!

A bunch of Japanese tourists were buying tons of Ohtani stuff. 

In recent days, many Japanese fans who have come to the stadium as part of Los Angeles or Anaheim tour packages will have to settle for buying his stuff at the team store, as they won't be able to see him play live. 

NHK will broadcast Angels games until September 10th (11th Japan Standard Time), after which they will be discontinued in Japan this season.

Well, this game is probably history. 

Marte?? Who is he? We used to have a position player named Marte.

I can't keep track of all these scrubs.

20 games remaining will feel like 80. Hope for a total cleaning of the house after this season.

Scratch another good player from the roster. 

The number of these injuries is beyond the pale. Just get this season over with!

[fan_since79]

Almost over...

[AngelsMetsWS]

Over

[fan_since79]

"Angels have a very quiet bottom of the 9th inning."

Classic Terry Smith.

[daygloman]

Bummer.

Happy Friday eve people!

Go Halos!

As bad as this lineup was, and as bad as this bullpen is, it's a wonder they ONLY lost 6-3. This lineup looked like one of those lineups a team used to field the day after they clinched the division and there were an unlimited number of September callups. The bullpen too.

[fan_since79]

Cleveland's team is nothing to wow anybody. They're way out of the wild card and only the weakness of the AL Central has kept them in the hunt for the top spot.

 

[fan_since79]

Anyone planning on listening to Trent Rush for the next 90 minutes?

I didn't think so.

Another amputation coming tomorrow 

[Angel Oracle]

Alibi Talk same as always?

[Angel Oracle]

Note to Schanuel, please try to not field GBs that are meant for someone behind you.

Twice it happened tonight, and got hurt on the 2nd one.

Well the ambiance at the game was fun. I was sitting halfway between home and first a few levels up and almost caught a foul ball. Off Calhoun I think. It was heading towards me but curved one row over. I was in an aisle seat and the guard rail was so in my way. 

Man, the bottom half of the lineup was far from major league. Sloppy defense and Cleveland played small ball to perfection. Canning was pretty good after some control issues. Could have gone a bit further. O'Hoppe homer was the hilite. And the Duck/Angel jersey. 

A few pix. The steal of third, the jersey giveaway, and the $60,000. Ohtani artwork.

@Duren, Duren I like the old school jersey you're wearing.

I actually snagged the Ohtani hitting one 2 years ago before it skyrocketed in price. 

I'm not a huge memorabilia guy but I do have a soft spot for those Stephen Holland pieces.

I was at a game a few months ago and Opie Otterstad was there doing an original piece. Cool as hell, talked to him for a few innings.

It's sad that it was the highlight of any Angel game I've been to in years.

Many fans at the stadium go to the team store on the ground floor which is usually packed, with a long line to get inside. They do not realize there is a Team store just one level up, right above the store on the ground floor.  I do not ever remember seeing a line to get into the store on the second floor.

NHK (a Japanese public broadcaster) published the upcoming MLB broadcast schedule, and will continue to broadcast Angels games from September 11 (against the Mariners) onwards.
