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

[PattyD22]

Sorry if this is late.  Was at the game tonight but couldn’t get any service.

Anyway, Light That Baby Up.  Great team effort and again, great starting pitching.  I’d like to say the offense helped, and yes, it did in a way, but damn…it sure would be nice if our starters got a nice 8 run cushion one day.

Dare to dream, but a win and a sweep, sure is nice.  Great job, halos

love to see who pitches Friday? Espn has Valdez going for the Astros and Undecided for us? Did not watch post game so maybe it's been revealed? 

Should be Canning.

With the off day tomorrow, they can just keep everyone on regular rest and go with a 4-man rotation.

So…

Fri: Canning

Sat: Anderson

Sun: Sandoval

Isn’t @calsa DH because of his injuries?  Like a Rendon 2.0?

Had to get a cortisone injection last week because of a fly fishing injury in March.  But left shoulder.  My right arm still really tests the gun at 62-63.  I’m like an older, fatter David Fletcher!

And they’ll all be wondering if it’s spit, too.

Hymmm. That will work. I actually graduated from The University of Houston after starting at UCLA. Then I lived in Yorba Linda for 20 years before moving to San Diego county.

Last 8 starts for our SP:

• Anderson: 2.84 ERA, 50.2 IP
• Canning: 3.25 ERA, 44.1 IP
• Soriano: 3.74 ERA, 43.1 IP
• Sandoval: 4.17 ERA, 45.1 IP
• Detmers: 8.93 ERA, 40.1 IP

If not for Detmers, the Angels would have had a pretty solid rotation going back to late April now.

No walks for Joyce, keeping with the much better control in recent farm outings
