Gameday Thread (6/10/23): Angels vs Mariners - Urshela and Renfroe back in the lineup

[TheLordofOuts]

Okay, guys.  All we need is a game tying grand slam

[Angel Oracle]

This team sucks at establishing and keeping momentum?

So, what's the likelihood that we see Sandoval get placed on the IL in the next few days which would explain why he sucks now? 

None.

Not sure what the beef is. 5 game win streak bookended by crappy starts from Sandoval. Let's see what we get from Canning tomorrow before we fret too much 

[Mark68]

"Ruling is confirmed."

 

Bullshit.

[greginpsca]

Suckage 101

[Mark68]

Light the Cuzzi Failo.

[UndertheHalo]

I wonder if Sandoval has considered being less shit.  If not he should put some thought into this. 

[TheLordofOuts]

It was all set up for Moniak to hit the game tying grand slam. Dammit

What is the team's record this season on Ohtani's starts? How many games has Ohtani thrown this season in which he did not keep the Angels in the game?

not the point. his offense has outshined his pitching so far. The opposite was true last year...

Indeed. But they win 5 in a row and suddenly the board cops need to remind you that there are 90+ games left and they can still be champions. lol

• Thete are still 96 games left and their elimination number and their elimination number has dropped to 93.

PANIC!!!!!!!!

I don't need a 5 game to remind you guys the world isnt coming to an end.

[Tank]

on to tomorrow.

Once again, its the SP.  Sandoval apparently peaked in the WBC.

I'm so fucking disappointed in this dude. He appears to be another guy with great stuff who can't get out of his own head.

I know there's some bad luck involved but he was supposed to be our #2. Hell #1B.

Detmers is in the same boat. It sucks.

At least Canning has looked solid. And Barria has I think earned a permanent spot in the rotation.

Don't get me started on Anderson...

[Jason]

I wasn’t able to follow the game last night but just checked the box score. Sandoval is struggling and it sucks to see

Here’s a question.

Does the now highly competitive WBC affect how some players do during the season?

[Angel Oracle]

All I know is, the Halos can only truly count on 2.5 starters at this point.

Ohtani gets the .5.

Now we’re regressing back to how it was in the late 2010s with starters.

I don't know that there is a lot of info on that.  But guys typically getting started sooner has in the past has resulted in all kinds of weird good and bad.

So you are confident that this is a playoff team?

You weren’t asking me, but I’m confident they haven’t played their best baseball. I also think fans that are confident that the season is over should pick a new hobby.

Why? If being confident in this team winning is a requirement for fandom then we should all have moved on a long time ago. You seriously think we have all been wasting our time following this team for the last ten years?

I think if you watch this team that is 4 games over .500 and you think they are done then yes, find something better to do with your time. 

[Stradling]

And what happened 10,9,8,7,6,5,4 years ago have no bearing on what’s happening now.
