Gameday Thread: Rangers @ Angels (5/7/23): Suarez on the mound, Rendon is back in, no Neto

[Dtwncbad]

Anybody else cringe at how Thaiss throws the ball back to the pitcher?  Seems like he is afraid to throw it away or something.  Such an awkward intentional lob back.  Looks weird to me.

[TroutField]

Well so much for a comeback. Offense wakes up again and we immediately give it all back. 
 

Bad defense and losing to the good teams is becoming a very common theme. 
 

Damn it

I'm outraged

[Reveille1984]

Man, so much hope after our rotation was actually a strong point last year. Now it's looking like one of our biggest weaknesses. 

[IheartLA]

Thaiss is amateur hour this inning holy moly

[T.G.]

Phillips would have caught that

[HeavenlyHalos]

welp that's game, just hope Trout isn't hurt now

[nando714]

This team is hot dog water

[daygloman]

[IheartLA]

nice going Thaiss you bum, should have been a K

[T.G.]

Angels will win this 54-53

[HeavenlyHalos]

What a disappointing weekend after the great comeback on Friday

[jsnpritchett]

Phillips might need to pitch 3 innings today.

[Halo in Chicago]

How many innings can Phillips pitch this afternoon?

[Biergott]

This is awful.   Hope they don’t shit the bed against the astros

[TroutField]

18 runs given up over the past 5 innings, after a 5 game winning streak with two amazing late game comebacks. 
 

why are they like this 

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

1 step forward and 2 steps backward

It's baseball

[TheLordofOuts]

Alright, we need a touchdown on this drive.  I say we call a flea flicker

[REDneck]

Hemorrhaging bad defense and shitty pitching!

[bloodbrother]

Thaiss has 4 errors as the backup catcher already.  There any clarity on the Stassi situation at all?

[Biergott]

The thing that sucks is that Suarez shouldn’t have even been in the rotation after all the diarrhea he left on the field.  But Nevin likes his “stuff” and the blind squirrel found a nut so they left him in.

we just find ways to give away games “but it’s a marathon and it’s early”

Tired of embarassing losses.  Tired of missing the playoffs.  Tired of wasting two of the best players in the history of the game. 
 

but hey, we will spend and break the tax threshold for the right guy…someday
