Gameday Thread: Angels @ Cardinals (5/2/23 4:45 Pacific): Sandoval on the mound, no Ohtani, Trout at DH

[Kampy]

who is this team? Putting runners in scoring position and then getting them home? I thought I was watching the Angels

[jsnpritchett]

Devenski warming up.

Angels backstop advertisements are for Japan's #1 cat treats.
Cardinals backstop advertisements are for Jesus.

Trout is 0-7 since his "I feel like my old self" comment.

The Angels have had that "He Gets Us" ad on their backstop several times this year, as well.

It would be nice if he felt a little more like Neto with RISP. 

[HeavenlyHalos]

calling up Neto so soon has been huge, what a freaking play!

[eligrba4ever]

Neto, you be very good with that leather thingy.

[Swordsman78]

Good call brining Neto up to the bigs.   Kid is 100% ready.  Hope he's our guy for the next 15 years.

[HeavenlyHalos]

Another great job by Devenski.

[AngelsLakersFan]

Probably not the smartest play to flip with the glove but sure looked cool.

[CaliAngel]

Wow, a reliever that got us out of a tight inning with no outs.

I mean Montero get's most of us.

seemed completely unnecessary but looked badass.

Wow, former Angels great Chris Stratton with a shutdown inning against his old team...

He's going to the Yankees when he becomes a FA

[VladdyforHOF]

Just let Ohtani walk and sign Neto to a 20 year extension instead!

I assumed when they said Chris Stratton they were referring to whatever dude was performing the country concert at the stadium at the end of the month.

We're wasting Neto's best years.

seems that we're gonna be seeing them on a lot more backstops (and everywhere else) for the next couple years. The Signatry plans to spend a billion dollars on this ad campaign over 3 years, and we're only a year in

agreed, and I'll say the same for O'Hoppe (assuming he fully recovers from labrum surgery)

I'll take our advertisements every day of the week over theirs!

Good lord, that was a Phillips sighting.
