Gameday Thread (3/5/24 5pm Pacific Start Time): Angels @ Dodgers: Silseth starting

[jsnpritchett]

Just posting this early to give the heads-up on the start time.  Also, the game is on Bally Sports SoCal, not Bally Sports West.

Dodgers have their big three all playing tonight.

0-3 with 3 K's with a brush back fastball that puts him on his ass.

2-3 with a HR but they lose.

It will be interested what the Shobaes on X have to say on this one. 

I think @Taylor is a Shobae for life.

I do.

I don’t get the animosity. I imagine everyone here is pretty consistently looking for better opportunities for themselves within their respective industries. You’d be foolish not to. Why should pro athletes be any different? They can be traded at any time, and have no real control over their career for the first six years of MLB service time. The Angels had six years to get it together, to prove that they are a top-notch organization, and they didn’t. That’s on the team. There is no one here that would have said no to that deal from an organization that is consistently in contention.

He didn't do anything wrong. 

I still hate him. 

[Ochocinco!]

He’s a dodger, I will always hate him. Could have gone to literally any other team I wouldn’t give a F. Hate hate hate, double hate

Huh? 

[Angels 1961]

Like to see Silseth have a good game. Maybe get him closer to number 5 spot in rotation. Halo fans would like Ohtani to look bad against them but this is ST. My hope is Angel players healthy for start of season. New identity take place with young team.

I'd love to see Ohtani go 0-4 and K'd every time. That would be amazing.

This is the exact reason we should be trying to take JD Davis from the Giants. Expecting this dude to play more than 50 games is absurd. Get insurance now
