Gameday Thread (4/1/24 3:40pm Bally Sports SoCal): Angels @ Marlins: Silseth on the mound, Moniak, Thaiss starting

[HeavenlyHalos]

Silseth looks pretty terrible

[bloodbrother]

Silseth throw a strike challenge

[TroutField]

Game # 4 of the season and Down 3 , this team feels cooked. 

this must be what it’s like to be a pirates fan

Silseth will be fine but Neto needs to get his shit together. Thaiss needs to stop trying to yank strikes into the zone when they are already strikes. 

Neto is 24 and Thaiss probably will never be a good catcher. 

[T.G.]

Silseth does have 4 K's

You riding Neto and defending Rendon is some funny stuff

F*CK

[Ochocinco!]

Our bullpen is going to be dead by June

[HeavenlyHalos]

Why does Thaiss not frame the ball? He slaps the ground after receiving the pitch, really weird.

Gross.

[Duren, Duren]

Pitching and defense ... 

Can't even get through the early innings without being exploited. Let alone the sketchy hitting. 

Neto was supposed to be one of the young stars of the future. But so far he's anything but. Hitting can be worked on, but speed, instincts and mechanics at shortstop are critical for a good defensive player. He just hasn't shown encouraging signs so far in his career.

Unlike the other day with Rendon, today, Neto had a mental error.

Pretty fun to watch right now, too.

He did. He's also 24 making the league minimum.

But I heard he might be the Angels' best starter.

Cool. The runner was running right towards him, he should have seen he wasn’t going to beat the runner to the bag, and just thrown to first. 

[Vlad27Trout27]

What a shit show of a first inning. y the defense.

I agree. Should probably be in AAA too.

When is the last time the Angels won five in a row?

[HeavenlyHalos]

Rendon is so fucking bad

I don’t believe that’s true but you are entitled to that opinion. 

[Erstad Grit]

Nice 3 pitch strike out Rendon

[CaliAngel]

Poo poo face strikes out.
