Gameday Thread: Angels @ Yankees (4/20/23 1pm): Sandoval on the mound

[Revad]

This is unforgivable- watching baseball is cool and for Rendon to say he doesn’t like watching is unthinkable.

[Don3347]

Damn , O'Hoppe has been fantastic. Hope he'll be ok. 

[eligrba4ever]

Oh. O'Hoppe. Oh no happy now. That appeared to be a deep hurt. Didn't that shoulder bother him in Boston?

[mmc]

I often get bored when I watch baseball

[Revad]

O’Hoppee injured his shoulder on his third hit of the game.

[Ender]

Oh no. That didn't look good. Dislocated? Hope its not too bad for you guys.

[Angelsjunky]

We're not even out of April and I'm losing interesting. I know, 9-10 isn't the worst thing ever and the Astros were 9-10 to start the day and won 106 games and the World Series after starting 7-9 last year, but...after starting 7-9, they went on a 15-2 streak and I just don't see this bunch of bozos ever doing that.

I had hopes this year, but they're dwindling.

[Don3347]

Wardo is awfo. 

[eligrba4ever]

Oh well. Long flight home. Might be a quiet one if the catcher is hurt for a while.

[daygloman]

That was ONE FUCKED UP GAME!

At least the next two series', they'll be back playing with their own level.

[Revad]

Angels lose.  No problem, just go 81-62 to get to 90 wins.

Last night should of been the Win and winning the series.

You have to win winnable games because sometimes you're going to get kicked in the balls...like today!

Angels kick themselves in the balls quite often 

[Angel Oracle]

This season is getting away from them already.

Looks eerily like the past 7 seasons.

No consistency at all.

One thing clicks, two others don’t.

Starting pitching on, defense and offense struggle 

Offense does fine, starting pitching and defense struggle.

Not a big deal......unless you're getting paid 36 million to succeed in baseball. 

[failos]

Season over

[TroutField]

This is turning into a pretty typical angels begging of the season. 
 

lose a bunch of close games, crap bullpen, then the injuries to key starters happen before we have some no name scrubs platooning and starting for 100 games. Mid season is when we offload whatever decent players we have for whatever minor league filler we can get.
 

wash, rinse, repeat. 

[full circle]

Used to know, and have to help a guy I knew whose shoulder would pop out of its socket with too much stress on it.  Very painful, but once back in he would be fine fairly quickly.  Hope that’s what Ohoppe has.

After the next home stand against two of the worst teams in MLB, the schedule gets real for an extended time. We might be out of this by June if we don't get our act together fast.

That's a major achievement so I guess we should give him kudos for that.

But no...he's still a bum.

[REDneck]

I'm giving them 7 more games to show me.

Against two teams with a combined record of 6-32...something like that?

At home!

[Taylor]

Looking forward to more Thaiss in the games ahead.
