Gameday Thread: (9/12/23) Angels @ Mariners: Sandoval on the mound, no Othani

[Duren, Duren]

Hard to see Adams and Paris as major leaguers unless there is miraculous progress. Totally overmatched in every at bat.

Yep.  They've both been hard to watch.  They're now a combined 7 for 57 with 20 K and zero extra base hits so far.

I'm fine with them both still getting some more ABs since this is a lost year, but it definitely hasn't been pretty!

Is Joe Jost’s near Bixby Knolls?  I only ask because when I took my wife there a few weeks ago, it was kind of chilly.  Not Big Bear Chilly, but dive bar chilly.  And totally awesome.

It's on the Eastside, on Anaheim St. Not the best neighborhood, imo. They close at 10 pm on weeknights. It is an LB institution though.

Grew up in Long Beach. Had my first legal beer there w my dad and grandfather. They made me get the pickled egg thing. Good memories.

I went there many times in early 70's. My boss was big fan of Eastside beer and Joe Jost's only place to have it on draft.

Bullpen game.  Hasn't been announced who's opening.  Maybe Suarez or Wantz, since Diaz pitched last night?

They were surmising last night on the telecast that it could be Suarez for the first 2 innings.

There was no injury.  Nevin pulled him because Moose wasn't giving his best effort.   The "injury" explanation is just so Moose can save face.

Is that your opinion or do you know this to be an actual fact?

[Vlad27Trout27]

Didn't watch the games, But Sandy probably has been the biggest disappointment of the season. After his world cup performances, many of us (or just myself) were expect him to take that next step, instead it was a step backwards.

Well it certainly isn’t a fact.

Fact.  Another tidbit is that Moose won't be back

And how do you know this? (Meaning, how do you know the injury is b.s.?)

Sore wrists don't appear out of nowhere in the 5th inning especially when no balls even hit his glove.

Although Sandoval was losing his sh*t about Moose lack of defense.   
 

Nevin is know for pulling guys after mental errors.

Again: how do you know that it's a "fact" that the injury is b.s.?  Your response doesn't answer that.

That’s because it was an actual injury that he tried to play through.

“Moustakas injured himself trying to make a diving play at first base against the Guardians and eventually had to leave the game early against the Mariners on Sept. 12. It was initially expected to be a minor injury but he still felt discomfort on Sept. 15 and was placed on the IL.”
