Gameday Thread (6/2/23): Angels @ Astros - Ohtani leading off

[stormngt]

Poor Ohtani, he has to play on this shitty team!!!  Say goodbye to him.

 

Sarcasm in case people didnt notice.

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Dump the sweeper

[Stradling]

Throw the goddamn splitter. 

[Angelsjunky]

Ohtani's last seven starts (including tonight's 1 inning): 38 IP, 21 ER, 28 hits, 9 HR, 13 BB, 52 Ks, 4.97 ERA.

Seriously, Trout and Ohtani have contributed plenty to this team being stuck at .500

I really hate Kyle Tucker!

As well as Jordan Alvarez.

Hate, hate, hate!

F the sweeper, Ohtani!    Why are you so in love with it?

He’s becoming self-absorbed with that mediocre pitch, and with hitting the ball 450 feet.

I tried to hold back the past month.

But nothing has changed.

Mediocre defense 

Pitchers mediocre in 2 strike counts.

Team absolutely sucks at hitting late in games.

Rendon can’t ever stay healthy.

They refuse to release Loup, who’s been even worse than Tepera.

No extended momentum established.

When will the consecutive losing seasons ever end?

Erica looking great tonight, and she even ignores Patty Os comments. We’re so lucky.

This is a pace of 47 HR in 200 innings, which would be third all-time (Blyleven gave up 50 in 1986, although in 271 IP).

I feel like this series is the nail in our coffin this season

Muted the game as soon as she was done.

A sweep, and we can start thinking of trading certain players.

Probably so after the road series against the Rangers.

Don’t underestimate their ability to garner an 8th straight under .500 season.

Leave Anaheim Arte Moreno, and take the bad mojo with you.

[Lou]

Good to see we have our 2nd worst hitter batting 4th.

How can it be a sweep if we lost yesterday?

Oh, wait..... crap.

Well, nothing has changed, has it?

I gave it a month without truly venting.   Even with the 6-1 record recently, they will still only be 9-9 after tonight in the past 18 games.

The sweeper is a hanging slider to lefties

True, but Arte and mojo have nothing to do with it.

That is true.  Just tired of his owning the team

So, about that Ohtani batting first experiment...
