Gameday Thread (4/9/24): Rays @ Angels: Sandoval on the mound, no Neto, Schanuel dropped to 7th

[TroutField]

Meanwhile the offense went to sleep after Trout’s homer. Wash, rinse, repeat.

They'll have RISP and less than two outs in multiple innings, score exactly 1 run, and then allow Tampa to pull away in the 7th...

I've seen this one before.

On cue.

For fans that have been watching for years, the foul lines used to be marked 330.

This Cisnero guy kind of stinks 

[eligrba4ever]

Did I hear Wayne correctly? Rays and Angels are 2 of the 3 worst pens in MLB so far?

[T.G.]

Let's go Rendon!

[Duren, Duren]

Day game tomorrow is a good time to revise the lineup. I expect a few changes at least. Catcher, outfield, maybe an infielder too. 

[CaliAngel]

God f***in dammit!

[HeavenlyHalos]

Offense has gone MIA after that Trout homer.

[Erstad Grit]

Rendon is the closest we've seen him in a long while. 

[Duren, Duren]

To add insult to it injury, there's that Spectrum/Dodgers boys in blue ad. 

Any Angel promotions on the Dodgers broadcast?

He does squats, so...

[samwum]

Can we extend the "why are we playing Hicks over Adell discussion" to Cisnero, Strickland, Fulmer, and Wantz?

[CaliAngel]

That runner has gone 90 feet 8 times this inning lol

890 feet to go from home plate to score haha

[HeavenlyHalos]

They have a good 7-8-9 but the rest of the pen is ass

[Duren, Duren]

Classic small ball by the Rays.

There's always a risk when you promote a young guy too quickly. Sometimes the early excitement and adrenaline kick in and they overachieve.

And often over time the league scouts them and it becomes harder. And the drudgery of the long season and pressure of games every day are factors. Then it's a matter of adjustments and confidence. Some make it, some me don't.

Playing Schanuel in the majors before he's had a chance to develop any power is like having him step into a boxing ring with one hand tied behind his back.

[bloodbrother]

Perry when it comes to building a pen(I did like the Stephenson signing though)

[jsnpritchett]

I have no idea why this image exists, but it seemed appropriate for tonight.

[tdawg87]

The pitching is a dumpster fire.

Not enough focus on developing the Wantz, Warren, Ortega, Naughton's of the world the past couple years. Perry just brings in a new crop of journeymen every year and they always stink. No idea what the hell he thinks he's doing. Can't just get a new bullpen every offseason.
