Gameday Thread (6/16/24): Angels @ Giants: Joyce is the "opener," Stefanic, Tucker playing

[eligrba4ever]

13-4. Only 10 more to a victory.

[Stradling]

Schanuel only got on base 3 times. 

[eligrba4ever]

13-6. 8 more runs and Guillorme will have to pitch again.

[eligrba4ever]

The long Father's Day Nightmare is over. Angels avert a sweep in the wrong direction.

[DMVol]

Estevez is pitching ok, Marte has been good in very limited action but the bullpen has been pretty bad lately.

Fuckin blob has got to be DFA-ed after this right?

Exactly why he should stay in the 7-slot.

That would never happen with him in leadoff.

By never you are ignoring the 7 times he was on base in the last 3 games he batted leadoff. Or are you ignoring the 10 times he was on base his last 4 games he hit lead off?  Or the 12 times his last 5 games he hit lead off?

Never doesn’t mean what it once did.

That is what makes linguistics so interesting.

This is at least the 25th game that we've been hoping for this. 

I'm actually rooting for the opposite. He's consistently available on a team that doesn't take itself seriously and has no aspirations for success in the short or long term. Keep signing this lard to the vet minimum for another decade so he can cement his status as the worst pitcher of all time

Tucker isn’t very good.

I’m off to see 5 tribute bands:

Boston, Led Zeppelin, Foreigner, Aerosmith, and Stevie Ray Vaughan

Saw Led Zeppelin at the Forum on Memorial Day weekend, 1973. Yes, I'm old.

After tonight game it’s 14 times on base his last 6 games hitting leadoff.

Never good when you get owned by Blarg or Stradling

Good for him and the Angels, small sample sizes are nice.

So is complaining about something that wasn’t a problem when you complained about it.

Good to see Nolan Schanuel get on base more lately. He's also hitting the ball a bunch better over his past 7 games. 

.333/.484/.500 with a HR and 7 walks. 

I hope he can build off his recent success and keep it going. 

He's not a leadoff hitter, buy you could argue slotting him in at the #2 spot with Rengifo leading off if he continues this trend. 

I think the Angels need to think about moving up O'Hoppe and Neto tbh.

But...but...according to @Stradling and the 6 games he cherry-picked, you're wrong.

Haha. Cherry picked?  Dude you bitched about him hitting lead off, I said he had three hits the night he hit 7th, then you claimed that would NEVER happen batting leadoff. So I then showed you his last six games where he was on base 14 times. Sorry reality hurts your feelings.
