Gameday Thread (7/2): Angels @ Astros - Sandoval starts

[Angelsjunky]

It is a sad state of affairs when there is no gameday thread, so here y'all go.

[Angelsjunky]

This might be my first GD thread.

Oh yeah, Trout is slumping again. BA down to .280. WTF, Mike.

Game already?

At least we get the pain over early.

Hopefully not early and often.  Two strikeouts already, one half inning down.

I thought the season was over.

Why is the infield so muddy?

Apparently the AC dries up the field quickly....

[Farmbuildingfan]

I thought this was a night game. Shocked Angels in trouble already.

[Waybackman]

Game

[UndertheHalo]

This is FS79’s fault. 

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

These games have been depressing enough, but O'Neal makes it almost unbearable...

[tdawg87]

Always playing from behind. That's what good teams do.

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

I guess the only pitcher we can rely on going forward is Ohtani...

[eligrba4ever]

GO ANGELS!!!

One more day to endure in Houston and then it's on to Miami!!!

Yankees and Astros both have 10-game leads. First time ever for such a thing this early, says Patrick.

[TempeAngel]

When did Trout become a streaky hitter?

Is 2022 the first sign of his decline?

[T.G.]

Well, this isn't much fun.

[TooCool]

Turns on the game... 3-0 Astros in the bottom of the 1st. Never mind. Have a good afternoon everyone.

Can't help but thinking every player on this roster would playing better for another organization. It is as if there is something about being an Angel that gets into players heads and they under perform.

[UndertheHalo]

It appears that the manager on the field doesn’t matter that much.

Maybe it’s that the angels are bad at developing players.  Maybe it’s not a magical uniform bad energy

I love the ‘member Pujols commentary

[fan_since79]

Hey Patrick, batting practice ended some time ago.

[eligrba4ever]

Trade that one!!! Yikes!!

And then Altuve slams a double off the wall.

Thats true, but most players brought here already developed also play more poorly here.
