Gameday Thread (6/14/22): Angels @ Dodgers - Ward back and leading off

[GrittyVeterans]

Gonna be a long rest of the decade. Lord almighty

[AvsBroncosAngels05]

The band Slayer was right. God hates us all if you're an Angels fan.

Rendon's wrist again? Dude needs to stop jacking off so much

[Erstad Grit]

We're wasting really good pitching

[eligrba4ever]

Am I seeing run-of-the-mill Heaney when I watch Noah struggle and fail to get through the fifth?

[PattyD22]

The Dodgers have Muncy, Bellinger, Justin Turner and Lux all struggling, yet are still in a tie for first.

Must be nice to have quality pitching.

He gave up 1 run…

He was removed from the game when it was obvious he could have gotten through the inning.  He had one challenging inning where he lost control of his fastball.

And depth and ownership and scouts and farm system etc.

They've been doing it quite often now, and then when the offense does put up runs, the pitching sucks and gives up more. That's why they're about to be 5-21 in their last 26 games barring a comeback tonight.

I hate Arte Moreno so much

In my opinion, when Syndergaard has to pitch from the stretch, he is a much different pitcher.  It’s obvious why, he spends a lot of time worrying about the runners.  
 

But Syndergaard from the wind up was pretty good tonight.  He did walk in the run pitching to Turner from the wind up though with the bases loaded, but I think the point stands.

Your starting short stop just can’t bat .170. Just can’t happen

[Skankhunt42]

I'd argue Rendon is the worst signing in the past 20 years.

Well he was hitting .170 when we were 10+ games over .500.

You’d be wrong. But you are entitled to that opinion. 

[AvsBroncosAngels05]

I don't live in Orange County but I really hope people stop showing up. At this point these guys look like they don't care at all and don't deserve any support. This will be the 3rd time they've been shut out in a week or 4th? Don't feel like looking it up right now. But I hope the fans stop showing up to support these asshats.

I'd argue worse than Puljos

And it still wasn’t alright in my book. I’ll never be okay having a pitchers spot in the order. I’m cool having him on the roster, but as a starter? No way

Pujols and Hamilton were way worse

[daygloman]

Bummer!

Not our year!

[HeavenlyHalos]

AND THAT'S GAME

Angels overpaid for him like we did with Freese way back then. Please explain to me how Rendons prescence has benefited this team. He hasn't even played a full season.

At least Puljos put up some inane numbers by year 3. But that's it.
