Gameday Thread (6/29/24 7:07pm): Tigers @ Angels: Canning on the mound

[greginpsca]

Against a really crappy hitting team, you would think Canning would be pounding the zone. But no. He can't even get a 1st pitch strike.

Making Olson look like an all-star rather than an 8-game loser. 

[Blarg]

Huh..., Schanuel with a ground rule double leading off.

He has pitched much better than his record would indicate, though.

He should have walked.

Somebody smarter than me, please confirm:

last year Moniak had a good run through June/early July, then had an historical drop off. I believe around .220 rest of the year and like almost 40% K. 

Adell this year had a really solid first 30 games. Then probably the worst run I’ve seen from a player ever. I can’t remember one worse. It’s been 120+ ABs now where I think his WRC+ is close to 0. I think? 

Is this more indicative of them being easy to figure out and pitchers just easily getting them out? Or them just being totally lost and in their own head to a 99th percentile degree? I mean Adell has like had a 140 point drop in his average since April 30 and a 360 point drop in OPS. It hasn’t stopped.

Welp.

Got work to do, Angels, to keep that winning streak going.

Get the out, Canning.

Moniak's hot run early last year was fueled by a crazy-high BABIP.  From July 28 to the end of the season, he slashed .202/.220/.326 with 54 K in 132 plate appearances (and only 3 BB).  This year's results to date are pretty similar to what he did during that run from late July until the end of the year: he's currently at .191/.245/.304.

He's just not very good.

Rally time, Angels!!!

Yeah that’s where I’m at. Neither him nor Adell are long term solutions in the OF. I truly feel Adell has now had all the chances he needs to show he can be a productive starter. 

If Moniak can settle this year around .230-.240 and hit like he has in June more consistently, I’d give him another year. I do not think this is likely. 

I think it’s the best thing for the Angels and for Jo to allow him to try somewhere else. I wonder if he has any trade value at all.

Mr. Angels RBI, TAYLOR WARD!!!!

[TheLordofOuts]

Yeah MFer!!!!

[TheLordofOuts]

[TheLordofOuts]

Whoa. Amazing play on that caught stealing

[Halo in Chicago]

Damn. 102!

[TheLordofOuts]

These Halos are playing to win the game.  

[Angels 1961]

Like I said last night O'Hoppe and Neto are gamers. This team belongs to them.

This would cap a ridiculous night for O'Hoppe if he gets the game winning hit here. 

Pillar won't allow it. How rude

[Halo in Chicago]

Light that baby up!

[AvsBroncosAngels05]

6 in a row! I hate the ghost runner with a passion but a win is a win! When's the last time the Halos won 6 in a row??
