Gameday Thread: A's @ Angels (5/21/22 6pm): Lorenzen on the mound, Wade in for Ward in RF

[tdawg87]

Oh look, more 2 out bullshit.

[TrumBomb]

Lorenzen lost command out of no where

His hitting potential is above any catcher we've had in 20 years, since Benji Molina, mark my words.

Great catcher (no hitter) and great approach at the plate. Great swing, strong, smart. 

We don't need Suzuki or Stassi anymore.

Yeah, I'm going to give Detmers the credit for the no-hitter. 

At this level, they want you to at least hit your weight to be considered even an average hitter. Hitting .138 with an OPS of .460 gets you a ticket to SLC.

Wrong.

Back to flippin burgers, troll.

Knock it off. This GDT isn't going to be a repeat of last night's. 

[UndertheHalo]

Got his ass 

[Stradling]

Hey Cali, knock off the shit.  

[Docwaukee]

have we made any comments about how much bigger Lorenzen's right arm is vs. his left?  

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Lorenzen threw a bunch of pitches in the third

[PattyD22]

It’s like freaking Stagecoach at the stadium tonight.  One post game country concert and everyone is a country bumpkin.

[Stradling]

Great play by Neuse there.

[Lou]

Laureano is out of the game 

[fan_since79]

I hope Shohei comes out of this slump in the next month or two.

Absurd. Detmers would even say the catcher has so much to do with his no hitter calling the game. Glove position. Communication.

Wallach does almost everything right when he's batting. The hits will come. His throws are unmatched. Bullets. He's for real. I can see it.

[Jason]

I didn’t realize Ohtani can’t hit change ups

Oh good.  He’s one of my least favorite things about this GDT.

Ok lou you and strad can root for Rengifo while I root for Wallach and admire Lorenzens biceps.

 

[UndertheHalo]

I think Pat O’Neal is alright but man, this guys sense of what’s going on with a baseball is extremely noob.  Has this guy attended baseball games before this season ? How the fuck is he thinking Velazquez is potentially making a play there lol ?

Bad luck and a stupid shift 

[Stradling]

Wallach’s numbers should be better.  He has good hard hit rates, good walk rates. But he is over 30 years old. He isn’t going so now put it all together and be better offensive catchers than Stassi, Napoli, or Iannetta.

[beatlesrule]

He is so safe. Terrible call.

I root for every Angels player. 

[bloodbrother]

BABIP regression really is coming full swing for the Angels pitching these last several games. Lot more cheap hits for opposing teams against them
