Gameday Thread: A's @ Angels (5/22/2021): Sandoval on the mound, Upton back in LF

[Erstad Grit]

Another pop-up from Rendon. 

[bloodbrother]

Still think Rendon will be OK. He's been on the IL twice this season so he just hasn't really gotten into any sort of groove yet at the plate

[CaliAngel]

And Rendon on queue, with the dog shit foul out. 

[fan_since79]

With five more games coming up against the A's we could be buried in another week or so.

He got paid. He doesn’t care.

Hopefully but it’s lame of us to make excuses for him

Appreciate that you still track the standings as it pertains to THIS team

Another week. 
 

8.5 out on may 22. 
 

we’re all just counting down to college and nfl football

blazers just upset the nuggets and the clippers lost.

turn the page and turn it fast 

this team sucks!

[CaliAngel]

I'm sure Upton will make a very productive out coming here in the bottom of the 9th. 

Maybe even a meaningless Vernon Wells homer to pad the stats. 

[UndertheHalo]

If the angels simply stopped sucking the season could be saved. 

[Erstad Grit]

Why are we still watching lol

[daygloman]

Bummer.

Go Halos!

[T.G.]

I don't know what's worse... the Angels losing or being out of ice cream.

[CaliAngel]

I can think of about 7 K's tonight where the batters swung out of the zone for strike 3. 

Upton likes to swing through pitches right down the pipe LOL

[UndertheHalo]

thanks for this Mike.

Angels gonna DFA Upton next May in the last year of his deal just like they did with Pujols

Consistency is good

Pujols looking like 2014 Pujols on Dodgers

Impossible. Black kids don’t watch baseball.

I just want @tdawg87 to know the foul ball I caught I gave to little black kid.

I've been avoiding AW because it fuels my frustration with this team. There is no guidance or leadership. We have a bunch of talented players being led by a manager that thinks they are all perfect at all they do. He still thinks the staff and bullpen are top notch. 

I just don't get it. It's not about pushing the panic button too early; it's the fact that this team has major holes that need to be fixed. And it seems like the GM, Owner, and manager think they are simply going to wake up one day and win 10 of 12. It's so hard to watch, but I love this team and keep hoping they'll figure it out. But the problem is that you can't keep doing the same bad things over and over. And they are.

I swear.  But to be fair I was two gardener beers deep at the time.  In retrospect I should have kept it or given it to my nephew who was with me.

Haha damn, you’re a shitty uncle…unless your nephew isn’t a child. You still did a good thing, cals
