Gameday Thread (4/18/24 10:10am Pacific): Angels @ Rays: Canning on the mound, O'Hoppe gets a day off

[TheLordofOuts]

Well, that was stupid 

[bloodbrother]

At least Canning finally turned in a solid outing. Hopefully that gets him going

[CaliAngel]

Games like this are so disheartening.

[tdawg87]

The Angels have 1 series win so far. 

[Duren, Duren]

Ball almost snuck through but a fitting end to a frustrating game. 

[Torridd]

According to GameCast, O'Hoppe's out was a lineout. Was it hit very hard?

89.4 MPH exit velocity, so not particularly hard.

Brutal loss, but historically, we lose 3/4 here. I like the direction. But the personal is clearly lacking. There had to be a better veteran than Hicks available. He is so bad.

[Angel Oracle]

I’m ready for Aaron Hacks to be released.   .437 OPS and mediocre fielding 

Whatever Baltimore did to help him has been lost in translation.

Starting pitching was better this series.

Canning’s 5.1 innings are encouraging.

[eligrba4ever]

Oh well, the sun's gonna shine tomorrow. The wind will blow. And. aw wait, there ain't no buffalo in Cincy. Drat.

[Duren, Duren]

Perry needs to get pro active and make some roster moves. The season could slip away quickly if some changes aren't made. 

The farm is still not that promising at the high level with hitters but lower down some guys are starting to grow..

What the hell does Hicks do for the team

I bet he hates his family and put baseball above everything... but he still sucks.

They just don't seem to want it as much as the other teams

Trout goes hitless and angels lose.  I see a trend. Also Moniak .175?  Cmon.

6 for his last 31 with 4 BB.

If they do they sure aren't good at being disciplined enough to get it done. 

Neto still swinging at pitches 6 inches off the plate just rubs me the wrong way. Hicks getting playing time over Adell is just absurd at this point. 

3 batters in the starting lineup with BA's under .200, I thought Wash said he'd be holding these guys accountable. 

New series tomorrow, we should be able to sweep the Reds.

I’m sure Reds fans are saying the same thing about the Angels considering they have a better record 

[Slegnaac]

Are the Reds a tier 6 team?

Yeah, I don't get why RW keeps sending him out there. Doesn't make sense...unless Hicks has some pics.

With the exception of Adell replacing Hicks, who is going to replace those guys?

After Angels sweep Reds they will be tier 6
