Gameday Thread: Angels @ A's (5/15/22 1pm start): Sandoval on the mound, standard starting lineup

[OttoDog]

Wonder if those drums keep fans from stadium? Glad they're not at Anaheim.

[tdawg87]

Yeahhhh he looks completely shaken right now.

[CaliAngel]

Angels to Sandoval: Let's make it a quick 1-2-3 bottom of the first to enjoy our 2 run lead to start the game

Sandoval: Hold my beer

They’re doing a cowbell giveaway at the stadium. 

[bloodbrother]

He's pulling a CJ Wilson

[tdawg87]

And more 2 out bullshit.

[Slegnaac]

Come On Sandoval 

Get A Grip

[Justin]

This Oakland offense is bad. Possibly historically bad. 

Stop f**king walking them!

More cowbell?

[tdawg87]

Thank you

[bloodbrother]

Now hopefully he gets into a groove after escaping that with no damage

[daygloman]

Trouble avoided!

Go Halos!

Thank you

You're welcome

[tdawg87]

Sandoval simply needs back-to-back 5 pitch innings.

I didn't mind them at the games I've been to in Oakland, but I could see them being annoying if I went 5 - 10 times a year. But holly shit they're like a tradition at this point, been hearing them since I ever heard an A's game if I remember correctly...

There's nothing for him to be shaken about though lol 2 run lead to start...

Glad he got himself out of it. 20+ pitches later, woof...

Sandoval has zero feel for his Changeup today. He went with a slider to get him out of that inning. Hopefully he finds it, or this might be a bullpen day. 
 

of course after MLB.com posts an article about how it’s the best pitch in the majors, he can’t find it. 

[bloodbrother]

When hitters like Wade or Velazquez get 3 ball counts on them, they should be instructed to not swing the bat ever

[UndertheHalo]

Frankie made the halos at the plate in that half inning look like little leaguers.  Very sad !

Yeah felt very Wilsonian.

[failos]

Is there anything worse than that Jack in the box commercial? I don’t think so

[tdawg87]

Ok let's not let Montage settle down. 5 k's already.

Eh, I feel like Sandoval can find it, he got those 1st inning jitters out. Needs to start throwing strikes and let the A's get themselves out.
