Gameday Thread (4/16/24): Angels @ Rays: Soriano on the mound, Sano at 1B, Trout DH'ing

[T.G.]

Oh well... Get 'em tomorrow!

[eligrba4ever]

IN-N-0OT delayed an hour. Sad.

IT WILL BE BOUNCE BACK WEDNESDAY!!!!

[samwum]

Out-bullpen'ed by a team with a good bullpen. Gotta sharpen up the edges to win those. Mop up guy can't be a journeyman with a career a 6 ERA, 3rd option in the pen can't be Jose Cisnero. 

[Swordsman78]

Un bull eve able.

That’s some next-level bullshit. Awful game.

[PattyD22]

It’s early in the season, but that’s a fucking disastrous loss.  A complete failure in extra innings.  
 

(2) 2 out base hits to score the tying and winning runs in the 9th and 13th.

Bases loaded, no outs and can only push across a bullshit sac fly.

This one hurts a little

The roller coaster ride of bad relievers didn't help either. It'd be one thing if a younger guy like Davis Daniel was in there struggling but Cisnero and Fulmer are just chumps with no potential. Hate Minasian's bullpen construction approach.

This is all the same shit every year.

The Rays currently have the worst bullpen ERA and FIP in the majors.

Baseball is a funny game.

Good job, buttholes

See this is what I was talking about you being miserable. It's not a normalized sample size and they historically have good bullpens. You're arguing in bad faith just for the sake of arguing. It's miserable, dull, and tiresome.

The same lol I went on a walk with a kids already knowing how this shit ends. 
 

and inevitably… ends just how I thought. It’s crazy the manager, gm, players, coaches can all change and it’s alll the same result. 
 

not even sure why I bother to pay attention anymore other than to punish myself 

[Vlad27Trout27]

time to rebound and comback next games! once the game went into extra inning, knew we had a long shot off winning.

I genuinely don't see how it's miserable to comment on something like that.  Even if you go back to last year, they were 11th-12th in ERA/FIP--so a little better than average, but not great, even with Stephenson's crazy performance after they traded for him.

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Way to snatch a defeat out of the jaws of victory

[Duren, Duren]

.500 slowly slipping away. It'll be hard making progress when they can't win games like this that were very winnable. 

[Make Angels Great Again]

big yikes

...and Angels were 3rd worst in ERA last year. The Rays have 6 guys back there who had a 3.00 ERA or lower last year. And then Kevin Kelly had a 3.09. 7 guys who would have been the Angels best reliever last year. To try to find a flaw in the idea that the Rays (good bullpen) out-bullpen'ed the Angels (bad bullpen) in an extra innings game is just crazy. 

It just blows my mind that your idea of entertainment is coming on here and just posting the dumbest shit imaginable in response to other people's thought out and statistically backed takes. I guess maybe you're trolling and that's fun. I don't know, I'm putting you on my ignore list. 

[JAHV76]

Tough loss but its not realistic to win every game hopefully tomorrow they bounce back with a win

Lol.  I'm not trolling.  And your "statistically backed takes" aren't always correct.  Deal with it.  You're new here and I'd wager you're not making too many friends with your posting style.  Again, I defended you when you were getting piled on initially, but now I see that you're just going to be combative. 

Don't really give a shit if you put me on ignore.
