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

[Ochocinco!]

Soriano has had his faults this year but man is he refreshing to watch. He works so efficiently 

[Duren, Duren]

68 pitches through five shutout innings. At this pace he's good for around seven innings. Keeping the lead intact helps.

Lol.  So soft.

I need this guy to bulk up in the offseason. Arms and Legs.

Maybe he'll try standing up for an entire month this offseason, even when sleeping.

I never really understood this. How about instead of standing for an entire month, just get your ass on the treadmill for 45min to an hour a day, then hit the weights for another 45-60 min. Rest 1-2 days a week for recovery.

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!

[Duren, Duren]

So much for an efficient, clean game. 

[AngelsLakersFan]

Taylor Ward must still be feeling the affects of that pitch off his head.

[jsnpritchett]

Ward made a horrible decision there.  His throws seem to frequently be way off or weak.

[jsnpritchett]

[Blarg]

So much for the excellent defense this series.  Back to back botched plays.

[Chuck]

 

[CaliAngel]

Doh!

[Duren, Duren]

Two really bad, preventable outfield plays. Things like that can quickly  change games

Read the article. He was working out and two days a week he didn’t sit down except to eat. 

[jsnpritchett]

Not sure why Cronenworth was bunting there, but glad he did!

He's still young.   Good frame and will fill out over the next couple years. Tbh he should still be honing his craft in the minors now 

[Duren, Duren]

Wow. Really escaped big trouble there thanks to the one outfielder who didn't mess up a play. 

[No Roles]

pillar is the only OFer that can be trusted....

I like when @HaloBronco checks in on Gameday Threads.  My notifications go crazy.  Ha ha.

I don't need to read the article to see that he has a body of an application developer.

I seen him up close in spring training. His body is soft. If he was working out two days a week, he was lifting with these.

Hey, a caught stealing for the Angels!  Shocking!

We have to be the worst in the league at stealing bases.
