Gameday Thread 5/25: Angels @ Rays: No Pujols, Simmons hitting cleanup

[bloodbrother]

Getaway game with a minor league pitcher on the mound aka tune in only for the Trout AB's and ignore the rest of the game

2-0 Rays. Could've been worse.

If Maldonado hadn't botched a routine grounder this inning is completely different.

Which was hard to do from the bench.

True but do you feel confident with him out there? I know he's the only option though

I second that!

Calhoun now 6 for his last 50 AB.

A cool .120 average.

Yeah, but sometimes pitchers actually recover from that.

[tdawg87]

Sweet lord this team is mediocre.

To be fair it's the offense that worries me more. I just don't think he can keep it under 3 runs

The majority of the offensive line up is less than mediocre

I just realized that I literally first read this as a compliment to our team. That...is deeply depressing.

[Angel Oracle]

You SUCK, Valbuena!    What a waste of $15 million through 2018!!!!

Wright did his job, aside from giving up Rasmus' hit that should have never happened thanks to Valnobueno!.

He's approaching Espinosa value

[Angel Oracle]

Aren't we just the blessed to be stuck with Valnobuena and Espinohitsa?????

[Broad Street]

You are missing the point, it is about Trout and not Albert.

I'm not missing the point what I quoted is perfect in regards to turf. 

Also fletcher said sosh says it's more for Pujols to rest than trout to get off feet. Just saying

Table set for Espinosa aaaaand he barfed.

[Blarg]

I really think it was a good time to pinch hit for Espinosa. 

[Angel Oracle]

You are WRETCHED, Espinohitsa!!!!!!!!!

Mantle was only 19 when he injured his knee in right field.

There aren't any open sprinkler heads in the OF to my knowledge.

[Broad Street]

Man is it too much to ask to release Espinosa?
