Gameday Thread: Angels vs. A's (March 29th, 2018) Opening Day!!

[Rollinghard]

Painful

[bloodbrother]

Mike Trout, Justin Upton, and Cam Bedrosian earning the L today

[Taylor]

Who didn't see that coming?

[Blarg]

Well that was a bullshit way to lose. 

[daygloman]

Idiocy.... AND....... It worked. FUCK!

[WeatherWonk]

I don't understand holding the runner on first. Why not just walked the bases loaded? Big gap on the right side

[Angel97]

I know it is the first game but team is lacking something. 

[Rollinghard]

Not fair to Noe

[Ohtaniland]

It didn’t take us too long to find last place. 

[bloodbrother]

The Angels always suck in April anyway

[nando714]

We are who we thought the they were 

good offense 

bad bullpen

How hard are you right now?

[daygloman]

Fucking Oaktown.....................................

[AngelsFaninGA]

So we have a good early inning offense and not much else. Kind of like last season. We pretty much just don't score runs after the 6th inning

[WeatherWonk]

Ramirez deserved better. I thought he looked pretty good.

Richards gets no blame?

[DMVol]

Crap game...runners left on...geez

[disarcina]

well, ominous start.

Trout and Upton go OHHHHH Fer.

The 'best defensive team' in baseball loses the game on a defensive lapse.

OHtani not quite OH fer but not great either.

from the small sampling of ABs  I've seen of Ohtani -- and it's not very many ABs so not really a valid sample -- but the thing I am surprised by is his first ball hitting and seemingly lack of patience/ discipline at the plate..........I didn't expect to see that.

[eligrba4ever]

Oh well.

I think he gets all of the blame. If he doesn't have a meltdown it never comes down to the other three guys

[disarcina]

Scioscia : "turn the page..........."

[beatlesrule]

Richards didn't pitch well.  Trout and Upton stunk. All 3 are responsible for the loss.  Since Trout is the best player in the game and had opportunities to knock in runs, he does shoulder most of the blame.  I agree that so far, married Trout sucks.  The bullpen actually did well.

[Angel97]

Richards is not an ace.

 

[Angel97]

Trout did suck today as well. Tomorrow is another day.

Same old Angels.

Same old fat head leaving in a pitcher to long, should have took Richards out as he threw a lot of pitches.
