Gameday Thread: Nationals @ Angels (4/12/23 1pm): Canning on the mound, Phillips in CF

[AngelsFaninGA]

Every year we have one of the lowest IQ, most wasteful offenses in the league. Should have like 6 runs by now.

I applaud Rendon for not laughing after that play.

or injuring himself.

 

 

**allegedly

[Rollinghard]

Nice baserunning. How many ways may we suck? Ah, let me count the ways. 

[TheLordofOuts]

Not a bad outing for Canning.  

[TroutField]

They are getting creative on how to not score runs… 

 

last inning bases loaded no outs and get 1 off of a walk, this time it’s 2nd and 3rd with 1 out and a line out double play… 

 

 

sigh

That wasnt bad baserunning, sorry. 

[TroutField]

Trout can start hitting like he did against the Blue Jays whenever …

[Make Angels Great Again]

Is canning on a pitch limit? didn't he throw more pitches in his rehab start?

Seems like an odd choice to pull him after a 6 pitch 5th inning.

Was the SS close enough to 3B to legitimately double off Rendon?

Yes, the infield was in and it was a rocket head high right to SS. The ball took him towards third rather naturally as well.

I kinda like this Philips kid.  

[eligrba4ever]

Phillips does it with his feet AND his glove.

[James]

Phillips putting his name all over the game. Did a lot of the same in TB as well. 

[Lou]

In before can Phillips play 1B.

[Don3347]

Phillips is the man today!

My biggest gripe with Nevin is not having a feel for when to pull pitchers. Especially after they just get a quick couple outs.

IMO Canning should have been back out there.

Phillips keeping us in the game by himself 

[Sho Way That Was A Strike]

How long will this years Trout Drought last? Wasn’t he like 0-34 or something last year?

surprised they didn't show another replay of it after coming out of commercial... the brief one they did show looked very close, at least worth another look I thought

but they didnt score so one could argue it was a good decision. Maybe Canning would have done the same but it doesnt look like a bad move. 

[eligrba4ever]

Drury has awakened today.

[Kampy]

Drury finally getting good wood on the ball today... maybe his typical "slow start" is finally getting up to speed

and O'Hoppe is a RIBBY machine!

[Sho Way That Was A Strike]

I like Logan the Bunny a lot. I hope they don’t start platooning him with Stassi when he comes back. 

[PattyD22]

O Hoppe with perfect situational hitting. So great to see a guy go with a pitch like that
