Gameday Thread: Angels @ Red Sox (5/4/22): Detmers on the mound, Marsh leading off, no Ward

[HanfordGuy]

Fudge!

[fan_since79]

Man, he just missed that!

 

[Angelsjunky]

Ugh. I felt like the Angels needed to win it this inning. Hopefully they get a chance in extras, but...

[Chuck]

Woah... So close. I thought Stassi split the gap or off the wall on that drive. Damn

[TrumBomb]

Fuckin dead balls

[eligrba4ever]

DANG!!!! Sox even in the 9th.

Oh man I almost lost it. 

Well, Matt V. did, as per usual! 

[Angelsjunky]

Meanwhile, four baserunners, one run scored.

[Angelsfan1984]

Wonder if they'll put Walsh in the OF in the bottom of the inning and Suzuki at 1B or something?  Going to be interesting.

Who ever it is could end up playing there multiple innings

After the last few years, it's gonna take time to get used to these new dead baseballs where the ball just doesn't travel anymore. So many examples already this year where I thought someone hit a bomb to dead center and it's routinely getting caught short of the warning track

[IheartLA]

LF is small but it's risky to put Ohtani out there with a bad leg too. I'm ok if he puts Suzuki in the field and Walsh in OF. If it bites us I still think Joe did what he had to do to give us the best chance to win and I'll be fine with it.

[jsnpritchett]

Yep, Suzuki to 1B for the first time in his major league career.

[bloodbrother]

Suzuki at 1B. Good god

[AngelsLakersFan]

Seems like an unnecessary risk playing these guys out of position.

[HanfordGuy]

 

[ADHB]

Technically Walsh has never played LF, but he did play there in the ASG last year for a few innings.

Turns out he did play 6 innings there at Midland in 2006, so it's allllll good.

[TrumBomb]

Just gotta strike everyone out we’ll be fine.

Please don't hit it to Ohtani

He is still the DH

EG just doesn't want any foul balls into the dugout, obviously.

He does have limited experience there from college and the minors, at least.
