Gameday Thread: (8/23/23 Game 1 1pm) Reds @ Angels: Ohtani on the mound, no Trout or Schanuel

[VladdyforHOF]

I thought Dom Leone AKA "DOMINATOR" was gonna be a huge piece for this bullpen @Angels 1961

Yeah idk.

[Blarg]

Leone on the mound is like a Leone film.

The good, the bad, and the ugly.

The way they're playing, it's not unrealistic that they'll finish 30+ games below .500.

So De La Cruz hit a 3-run HR right-handed then a 3-run double left handed?

Let me channel Lou from the dead.

Quit playing the victim and make better posts.

I dgaf what Lou would have said. I actually became more active here after the fact.

Rengifo has obviously given up on the season.

His wrist isn't the only body part that could get injured.

What if he tears his acl, has to have major surgery, and is out for 12 months?

So... every all-star caliber player should take the rest of the year off when their team appears to be out of contention?

I think at this point, Lou doesn't give a fuck about your activity as well.

No they're paid a shit-ton money to play for the entertainment of the paying public.

LOL, make better posts. You and Lou are the toxic shit of this forum.

[VladdyforHOF]

Imagine bringing up a deceased person to try to validate your point. Good shit Blarg flarg.

[Blarg]

Leadoff triple. Guess the outcome. 

[Jay]

What's the over-under on number of days until @VladdyforHOF's account is locked?

His chances of sticking around are about the same as the Angels winning this series.

That is soooo worth noting as you've been posting on baseball message boards for 20 years and I just barely showed up.

[Sho Way That Was A Strike]

Is it wrong that I actually smiled when I saw Loup was poup again? 
 

Maybe it’s because I see it as guys like Barria and Loup are hopefully playing their way out of Anaheim. 
 

Of course they’ll be lockdown pitchers wherever else they end up but meh…

I guess you should probably get to know the neighbors before starting a street fight with everyone on the block.

I’m assuming we drop this game and win the second game easily (6-1, or 9-2, etc) and people start saying we have a chance again?
