The Official 2023 MLB Season Thread

The schedulers did Miami no favors on this current road trip. They went to San Fran for 3 then Colorado for 4 and now coming to Anaheim without an off day after using 6 pitchers tonight. We should be able to pounce on a road weary team that's ready to go home. One name to worry about is noted Angel killer Yuri Gurriel who's had a couple monster games in Denver. Hopefully he gets a marine layer wake up call. No excuse not to win this series and maybe even look for another sweep

Also Luzardo.  Dude owned the Angels last time he faced them.

I think we miss Alcantra which is good.

Has struggled some in 2023.

Luzardo has been their best starter so far.

The Angels may be facing the CWS next but they will be going through a stretch of really tough pitching next week.  Kopech has finally started to pitch well, Giolito is looking like himself too and then they will square off .vs the top of the Astros rotation while we counter with our bottom half.  People always talk about must win games and the sort, I'm not trying to do that, but this is going to be a fun week for them.  If they can go through all those arms and manage a winning record it bodes well for where they are and where they may be heading.

They are so amazingly bad.

They have been so awful that even after being swept their ERA+ improved to 60.  Ive never seen a team carry a sub 60 ERA for as long as they did.

Don't even think of of it, people.

Moronta would fit right in.

Yankee fans screaming about steroid cheating is pretty rich.

Here is your update on this year’s answer to the 1899 Cleveland Spiders.

Another loss, now 10-43

[Blarg]

Nope, another player you guys better not even talk about. 

[Angels 1961]

Dozier and Hicks could add some depth. Change of teams could help them.

Good Lord, 10-44. Did anybody show up to watch that game in Oakland?

Edit: 9,293 apparently paid to watch that.

The tigers are in second place and one game out of first heading into memorial day

[Lou]

KC is throwing a combined perfect game thru 7 innings vs St Louis 

[m0nkey]

Old friend Mike Mayers has thrown 6 of those innings
