Gameday Thread (7/2/24): Angels @ A's: Soriano on the mound, Drury at 2B

[Blarg]

That was a home run by about 2 coats of paint on that foul pole.

In case you needed a reminder that this team still sucks.

Yeah, I mean, a few wins are always fun, of course, but they're simply not a good team right now.  They won some close games against absolutely terrible games.  It wouldn't surprise me at all if they turned around and lost a few close ones to the same/similar teams. 

[Vlad27Trout27]

Soriano just ran out of gas and lost control of his pitches. 

Now the offense just needs to pick it up.

Nor would it surprise me if they came back and won this game.

It's so quiet at the stadium that it honestly feels like the covid-year games when they played in empty stadiums with a little bit of crowd noise pumped in.

Sure, entirely possible against a team of this quality. 

[Angel Oracle]

Cy Spence

Incoming Halos losing streak of course, after 6 straight wins 

At least Moreno won’t be going for it the rest of the season.

Wake up, Adell!

He could have scored easily but he just stood there.

Absolutely no reason for him not to score there

 

[Ochocinco!]

How tf does Adell not score there! It should be 4-2… if fking hate watching this dude everyday legit one of the dumbest baseball players I’ve seen on a field 

[No Roles]

adell is showing no progress running the bases that is not reassuring !

He's really fast, though.  I think he'd make a good leadoff hitter...

[Rollinghard]

I know 10 y/o softball players that have a (much) higher game IQ than Adel. This is not an exaggeration. 

[CaliAngel]

What. The. F***.

[Blarg]

Not challenging that was dumb. 

[Waybackman]

Ward made the catch and they didn’t challenge. ?

[fan_since79]

A's have played much better at home than on the road.

5,000 fans are seeing a fun game tonight.

[Waybackman]

Who needs Suarez when we have Marte‽ 

[jsnpritchett]

Newsflash: Jose Marte isn't very good.

7, 8, 9 batters all under the Mendoza line. Good thing we’re playing Oakland.

Good thing...

Adell now 13 for his last 109 at-bats. 

He needs a trip to the IL. Find an injury, anything.

Bright side: he was 9 for 95, so he's heating up!

He needs a trip to a trade for whatever they can get.    Regular playing time hasn’t done any good.

[Angel Oracle]

Marte is good for tanking.
