Gameday Thread (6/18/22 DH Game 2): Angels @ Mariners - MacKinnon’s MLB debut

[tdawg87]

What did Seattle do to Mike Trout? My mans had it out for them from day 1.

Have the Angels shelved the Cowboy Giddyap?

Eh, I feel like they've simmered it down a bit since the losing streak, maybe when they get back over .500 and there's a winning vibe in the dugout/clubhouse will they start having more fun with it again.

Ohtani trying to pull a ball down and out of the strike zone is not Ohtani swinging the way he used to be / should be. He used to / should be driving those to the left side of the field.

I'm watching Dave Sims and Angie Mentink on the Seattle channel. They haven't shown a dugout display after Trout's bombs. By the way, Sims and Harold Reynolds called a strong game in the afternoon opener.

I told y'all we were the true "get ya right" team in the other thread.

Y'all insisted you were.

Another awful pitcher, am I right?

I wish someone would put Scott Servais, Jerry Dipoto and Justin Upton in a rocket and fire them into the fucking sun.

I agree.

We still have our bullpen. Ain't over.

I can't stand Harold Reynolds.

Dave Sims is usually pretty impartial in his broadcasting. I think he speaks well of the opposition usually. I mean obviously biased for the Mariners a bit but still.

He also says some pretty memeable things sometimes. 

[CaliAngel]

Duff'd again.

I'm sure there are many who dislike Patrick O'Neal, as well.

Good thing Matty V's been doing it this weekend.

This is Mike Trout's 88th game at whatever they call this ballpark now in Seattle.

In those 88 games, he's hit 32 home runs and driven in 77.

If I was Servais I'd literally never pitch to him with anyone but probably Logan Gilbert.

That's hilarious and amazing.

Baseball is so weird.

Do you think M V will follow the Angels to KC or head directly back to his 2pm show in New York on Monday?

They were saying that Lorenzo Cain was DFA by MIL.

That guy killed us in 2014.

[eligrba4ever]

In the middle of the inning, they ran a split screen of a recruitment ad from the Redmond PD and Trout scuffling some blades of grass in CF.

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Trout now leads the AL in HRs,

edit: my bad he's second in the AL.
