Gameday Thread: Astros @ Angels (4/9/22): Syndergaard vs Verlander, no Fletcher or Adell

[Slegnaac]

Proof ice cream IS Better with Sprinkles

Just throw up and away and let Fletch lunge and hit routine flyballs into RF since he has absolutely zero pop in the bat.

Gonna need a replacement for Fletcher by June.

[bloodbrother]

Tepera with minus 2 MPH on his stuff vs the top of the Astros lineup in a 1 run game. Hold tight

Owed $25.5M including this year on that contract they gave him before last season.  Not looking so hot now.

Never in doubt

[Cornutt]

Well, Tepera go through that inning

[bloodbrother]

Would be nice to get an insurance run or 2....or 3 here

[Lou]

Thanks, Perry!

That’s the Tepera we hoped for.

It;s game 3 of 162.

Man if you mention any criticism of David Fletcher on Twitter, the mob goes after you. 

But I agree. He looks more and more like a solid backup INF than an every day starter.

Fletcher every time he sees a pitch up near his head

I recall not too long ago when it was like that here.

[Cornutt]

Gotta elevate those a little bit

[TooCool]

I think it's time to get Ohtani out of the leadoff spot. At least him bat 2nd, move Trout to 3rd. Bump Rendon down to 5th or 6th. Mix it up.

Did you watch him last year?

[Lou]

Textile Guy!

[Mark68]

As a hitter, Fletch makes for a pretty fair poker player.

Apparently you didn't watch last year.
