Gameday Thread: (9/27/23) Rangers @ Angels: Canning on the mound, still no Schanuel

[daygloman]

This game REALLY sucks!

Sigh..................................... Not surprising!

Still wondering if they'll get 72 wins this season?

[Angels 1961]

Tepera, Loup and now Carlos, Perry if you are GM this off season do not sign a relief pitcher to a 2 year deal.

LOL, waiting inside In-N-Out for my food to go, and a 2-0 deficit became 5-0.

I really wanted the Angels to play a spoiler here.

[daygloman]

This won't take long.

Then, it'll be time for "Aliby talk".

[daygloman]

ROTFLOL!

Yeah Gubi............. A comback is  totally a believable concept!

Go Halos!

Didn't they spoil your appetite?

Arte managed to get 30,000 suckers to spend good money at this game. No wonder he wants to hold on to this team.

THREE GAMES TO GO UNTIL 3 HOURS OF EACH DAY ARE CLEARED FOR MORE PRODUCTIVE THINKING!!!!

RIDING THE ANGELS' TRAIN ALL THE WAY TO FREE AGENCY!!!

Bright spots: Texas doesn't get to celebrate on our field.

And nobody suffered a freak injury that puts them out for 6-8 months.

How many of these Angels do you care about being out for 6-8 months?

[Angels 1961]

This team so far behind Texas and Houston in talent. Mike time to ask for a trade if you ever want to play in playoffs.

I swear I read that as Arby's talk.

Damn, now I want a terrible 1/2 pound roast beef and cheddar sandwich so I can regret it for the next 12 hours.

LOL! I haven't had Arby's in probably 15-18 years.

Truk out & get one if you can?

Get one of the other sandwiches instead. They're pretty good.

I went to see a movie tonight and missed the whole game.  Looks like I made a good choice. 

[fan_since79]

Arby's Roast Turkey, Ranch, and Bacon. Excellent!

[Angel Oracle]

Good news is:

Canning finished strong, 3.90 ERA in past 53 innings, and reached 125 innings.   162 is within reach in 2024.

Joyce now has 6 scoreless innings in September.  Now if only Bachman would ever stay healthy for at least most of a season.

They inch closer to no worst than the 6th lottery slot.

Dominic Leone sounds like a Spaghetti Western director of The Good, The Bad and The Arte.

The good news is, assuming Ohtani doesn’t re-sign, they will be some $60 million under the tax threshold heading into the off-season.    Get back under it in 2024, and then if needed go over it for 2 years before Rendon’s salary comes off the books.  

Two years = minor penalties.

Who would think the DOMINATOR push Arte over lux tax.

[AngelStew43]

At least Caceres pitched reasonably well.  Another live arm to add to the bullpen in 2024.  Oh, and Perry, we don't need to spend on a LH reliever, we have Ingram and Suarez.  Quijada probably won't pitch until 2025, so I'm not counting on him.
