Gameday Thread: Angels vs. Astros (4/24/2018)

[Docwaukee]

yeah.  bullshit.  ump sucks.  

[Angelsfirst]

Yeah 101 mph is insane. Nice getting out of the third. 

[southpaw]

I could have hit like Calhoun just did

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Can we bat Calhoun 10th in the order?

[fan_since79]

Ohtani is effectively wild tonight, and as others have noted, you can get away with a lot if you're hitting 101 mph.

Basically, that it's all hype 

[John Taylor]

Hey fellas, whats colder than Kold Calhoun?

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Morton's ERA has gone from 0.73 to almost 2.00

[Ohtani&Trout]

As bad as Calhoun has been, Maldonado has been just as bad. Two automatic outs in the lineup

It wasn't that bad

[Docwaukee]

how about we DH for maldonado in ohtani starts?

[Angelsfirst]

Yeah Shohei’s splitter can almost be mistaken as a sharp slider at times it’s got so much velocity and  movement in towards lefties.

He earns his keep in other ways.

 

[bloodbrother]

Wish they stuck with the offspeed vs Gurriel. Dude's always hunting FB's

[Ohtani&Trout]

Nice quick inning 

[bloodbrother]

Nice quick inning. Hopefully Ohtani can go 6

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

that works

[eligrba4ever]

Double plays sure come in handy.

[Ohtani&Trout]

Might go 7. Only 63 pitches through 4.

[HeavenlyHalos]

Nicely done Ohtani.

yea i was being more sarcastic, no hate towards reddick

it was meant tongue in cheek - honestly no malice towards him - his statement if anything is kind of true

if gerrit cole throws 100mph and dominates the media doesn't care but if ohtani does it then it's national news

[eligrba4ever]

Is the pace of game thread postings setting some kind of record this month?

Certainly seems like it, but mostly in a good way.

btw we got lucky in the 2nd inning with Upton in LF... could have cost us a run

this is becoming a theme.

international news.  Cole needs to DH 4 times a week also
