Gameday Thread (5/13/24): Cardinals @ Angels: Soriano on the mound, Adell hitting 2nd

[T.G.]

FFS, Ump!

okay now that home plate umpire can have back spasms all night....asshole 

[Blarg]

Even the Cardinals announcers called Schanuels strike bullshit. Quote, "He thinks he should have walked twice and he was right..."

I don't see a .253 obp as a leadoff hitter. 

well this is obviously a changing course year why don't we give the kid a chance at least till we have a proper sample size?

I know it's wise to build Soriano into a major league starting role...but I wish Washington gave him a chance ! We have less to lose and more to gain getting Soriano's esteem up to where he believes he is the best we got !

[CaliAngel]

Please no Suarez...please no Suarez...

Cimber, thank God.

Perfect situation for him

[CaliAngel]

YES! Thatta boy Cimber!

Soriano is looking great!  64 pitches through 5 innings.  He's gone 90-92 pitches a couple times this year, so he should have another couple innings in him at this rate.

Ok, maybe not...

But nice to see Cimber come in and continue his shutdown performances!

[drpiranha]

Cimber is AMAZING

[HaloBronco]

WOW!

He is doing great in the # 9 spot. No need to mess with success, he produces well from where he is comfortable with. Some players are just that way.

I'm curious to see what the tickets-sold number for tonight is.  The actual crowd looks even smaller than the ones for the Royals series.

[No Roles]

Honestly these games getting done around near 9 pm is amazing !!! I'm not in my early 20s when it was the golden years for the halos so far as a franchise ; where I could stay up to 11 pm watching the game drinking then going to work the next day...lol

[eligrba4ever]

Glad Cimber threw that pitch in the seventh and not the sixth.

[No Roles]

tell me why the announcers had to curse us as always...first thing they said about Nolan tinight is he has never homered in anaheim...Let's get some new blood calling these games already !!! haha

[Blarg]

Burnt to a Cimber this inning. 

[eligrba4ever]

Too much Cimber really is too much.

It's a Monday school night.

Big challenge here.

[eligrba4ever]

A 3-run lead looks pretty shaky right now. Make that a 2-run lead. Even shakier.

[fan_since79]

Five straight hits...

These little guys say, “school, schmool.  We want to see the Angels win.”

Me too, boys.  Me too.

I know.  The Cardinals still typically draw pretty well on the road.  And my point is more about the gap between tickets sold and actual attendance, anyway.
