Gameday Thread (6/5/24): Padres @ Angels: Soriano on the mound, Pillar in CF

[Duren, Duren]

Nice start. Thanks Schamuel and  a bonehead base running goof by the Padres.

Erica and her hairrrrr...

15 pitches through 2 innings for Soriano.  He must have some place to be after the game.

BIG PAPA!!!! BIG POPPA!!!

[CaliAngel]

NETO MASHED IT! No doubter!

[jsnpritchett]

Nice blast from Neto!

As strange as it sounds, I actually hope the Angels don't creep back into the wild card or AL West hunt over the next few weeks, given what Arte forced Minasian to do last year...I would scream if they make trades to try to stay in the race this year.

[Halo in Chicago]

Wow. 

[No Roles]

NETO (future hofer)..wtg

[arch stanton]

I've seen 2 of Schanuel's home runs and both on hanging breaking balls in the middle of the plate. At least he knows what to do with a mistake pitch

I don't think you have anything to worry about.

CB Buckner is a really bad plate umpire

[Duren, Duren]

Neto showing some power. Good to see him getting untracked. 

Soriano with a 3 run lead just has to be consistent and not make mistakes. More umpire help.would be nice too! 

[CaliAngel]

Kinda dig this Soriano guy.

Seems like he knows how to pitch.

He needs to join Angel Hernandez in forced retirement. Time for MLB to flush all of these turds.

I just hope we trade Schanuel...we need to target Alonso in off season !

[Duren, Duren]

What a disconnect. Talking seriously about players banned for gambling when the sport is happy to take money and tweak their broadcasts to legitimize gambling. It's a fine line telling players they can gamble all they want except for the exceptions they designate.  I expect more scandals coming to light over time.

There was a time where Machado was a real piece of shit...around that time where he went from Baltimore, to the Doyers, then to San Diego...there was a playoff game where he intentionally stepped on the 1st basemans ankle running through 1st base...He's since seemed to calm his attitude since then...but still, kinda like ARod, I have a hard time feeling bad for him, ever.

Replaying the same mistakes of buying free agents and costing draft picks is dumb.

Alonso is pretty much the last guy the Angels need to target.

Wat?

Some people use "untracked" to mean the same thing as when people use "on track"/"back on track."  I've never understood it, either--but it's not uncommon!
