It wasn't though. He actually was looking passable in RF whereas he normally looks like a guy who is just playing the OF for the first time ever anywhere else out there

You'd think the Manager would have seen this and had him playing RF tonight but alas

no doubt Marsh should be left and Adell right tonight, a huge L for the management tonight

but we haven't seen this improvement yet in real games even in RF for Adell yet and considering how bad he's looked in left his footwork fielding that ball, his throw to the 1st base dugout, his bad read/1st step in on that fly ball, i'm going to be skeptical until we see the actual improvement in RF cause someone that's played the OF for the last 10+ years shouldn't look like its his first game out there no matter if its left or right.

You should feel shame. 

Nah I’m sitting next to a bunch of white people. I’ll be ok

Textile Guy!

Our powerful lineup making Framber Valdez look like an ace.

It's only one game...

[UndertheHalo]

I think Adell was reflecting on being less shitty when he was standing around in the outfield and has settled on doing that.  Being less shitty.  I feel good about it. 

[Bronson]

Wait the record is only 16 opening day starts?? That doesn’t seem right..

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

Rough night for Adell so far.

What if there are libtards among them ?

[Jason]

It’s going to be a shitty feeling if Ohtani gets an ‘L’ tonight 

[Angelsjunky]

Adell is such an easy out and can't field.

He's starting on opening day for the Astros. I think he is an ace.

[Bronson]

I’m really skeptical about Adell. The dude has a baseball IQ of 4 it seems like.

Hard to believe that he is only 22.

Defensive metrics guys. 

With my own eyeballs, it looked like Adell (last season) played a much better RF than LF. 

No?

He made it in right field, lol

If Ward is the starting RF then Adell is going to be playing LF so that's not good for the Angels

[UndertheHalo]

I think we should give Adell more than 5 innings tbh.  

[Angelsjunky]

Did that guy just say "Michael Brantley, arguably the best hitter in the American League?"
