Gameday Thread: Angels @ Rangers (8/2/21): Rodriguez on the mound

[jsnpritchett]

Quick note: due to work obligations between now and next Tuesday, I likely won't be available to consistently start the Gameday Threads during that stretch.  If it's getting close to game time and you see I haven't started one, anyone should feel free to jump in and do it yourself so we can keep them going.  Thanks!

@jsnpritchett, Give me your boss' phone number and I'll fix this nonsense.  I mean, WTF?  You might have to quit your job.

You cannot abandon your GDT obligations, @jsnpritchett. Unacceptable.

Does it feel like being in a Home Depot or Costco?

Adell out of the lineup. Just arriving at the park.

That's not very creative, telling he has to quit his job. Use your head and get him fired.

Dammit

[Blarg]

Adell and Marsh on the same roster and it isn't even September. I guess they are playing for next year with graduating the 2021 class of the Salt lake Bees early.

[daygloman]

Go Halos!

[Blarg]

At this point, if you are an Angels minor league player still wearing a Bee uniform your career may just be over.

I'm a consultant, so I'm basically my own boss.  Ha ha.  One client has me on retainer and I just happen to be handling 3 movie test screenings for them within the next week.  I'm non-exclusive to them, so I do consulting work for other clients on a per-movie basis.  Another one of my clients has a screening this week, so I'm juggling 4 total over that time frame.  Plenty of people aren't getting any work these days, so I'm not complaining!

Heading out the door now.  Go, Rodriguez!

The outside yes, the inside is nice.

First time ever in an indoor baseball stadium 

72 pleasant degrees and low enough humidity

First pitch ground out by Fletcher, again. Maybe he's not really a lead off hitter.

Any good BBQ there? I would assume yes.

I'd put Upton there for a while, but he's probably hurt again.

You assume wrong. The BBQ joint next to the stadium is not good.

[Blarg]

Joe West being an asshole again.

[fan_since79]

Top of the 1st went by at warp speed.

This offense...

[Blarg]

He is 68 years old and couldn't find a strike zone with a seeing eye dog. MLB needs to step in a clean house of all umpires that are underperforming and send West to his Umpire union office to fill out TPS forms for the rest of his career in baseball.

is upton like hurt again?
