Gameday Thread (6/17/24): Brewers @ Angels: Soriano scratched, Plesac starting, Drury at 2B, no Rengifo

[eligrba4ever]

Mr. Plesac seems to have taken The Reconstruction Project seriously, So far.

[T.G.]

Sell high on Plesac. Like... right after the game. 

[Halo in Chicago]

6 innings and 3 runs. Not too shabby.

Trout might as well be finished, like this franchise.

Give Plesac credit, was hit hard in ST and had struggles at SLC. Kept working and maybe he can help rest of year. Only 1 game but up grade from Suarez.

Guillorme is not a bad player. Didn’t understand why Tucker was getting INF AB’s over him. And Paris clearly wasn’t ready, needed to be in the minors. 

Seriously, what the heck did they see in Tucker?

Does this org even scout?

I guess I'd never really thought much about it, but it's crazy that the Angels' record for HR by a SS in a season is 14.  Neto should easily cruise past that.

[Angel Oracle]

With so many injuries year in and year out, is Moreno cheaping out on medical and conditioning too?

They're winning 5-3 tonight.  Enjoy the moment!

I don’t expect him to play much more at all this year.

I enjoy the moment, especially the Plesac QS and Neto’s continued emergence.

The past 8.5 years, including having a crappy owner and Trout’s body giving out, not so much!

This bullpen just wastes zero time

[Halo in Chicago]

Noice job Garcia!

[eligrba4ever]

Runners at 2nd and 3rd with no outs and then Garcia Ks the side.

[No Roles]

sick Garcia..ty

[eligrba4ever]

Angels might even win a home game.

Luis Garcia: Known lockdown reliever 

[jsnpritchett]

Garcia scares me to death pretty much every time he pitches--but gotta give him credit for coming back to get out of it!

[eligrba4ever]

Rengifo good to go now,

[ScottM]

Schanuel 8 for his last 19. Would love to see him have a good few weeks.

They will need Trout to come back this season, if only to know what they might need for the up coming season.  If Trout is not going to be able to play CF, they will need a plan to fill that position on an everyday basis, and Mickey isn't the answer.

Fregosi had 22 in 1970.
