Gameday Thread (9/28/24): Rangers @ Angels: Canning on the mound, Schanuel still out

[jsnpritchett]

I'll be missing the first part of the game due to a bar mitzvah for the son of one of my good friends. Fun! 

Heaney on the mound for the Rangers.

That lineup is bullshit. 

[Angels 1961]

Last 2 games be nice to get some momentum for 2025.

[Angels 1961]

Last 2 games to see Drury play.

[Angels 1961]

Ward had a decent year. I wonder if he will be traded, or Arte thinks this team can be like KC in 2025

GO ANGELS!!!

AMAZING LINEUP!!!

DON'T GET SWEPT INTO 2025!!!

[Duren, Duren]

Ward and O'Hoppe are the only sure guys that should return from this lineup. 

Wagaman is promising but needs to earn a spot in spring training. Defense is a question mark. Campero may be a surprise candidate. Kavadas has seen his stock go down lately but would be a real shot.

 

The others? No way any deserve to return.

He has not earned a spot in lineup but might be opening day 2B. In a rebuild and halos not spending any money. If Moore starts year in minors and Rendon on IL or just let go. Rengifo starts at 3B and Jack Lopez at 2B. He will need to work on pop ups.

Jack Lopez is not going to be on the opening day roster.

What would a Canning start be without at least one pitch landing in the seats?

So tonight's count is 1 so far. On to the bottom of the second.

[Blarg]

Heaney still sucks in Anaheim.

[TBM-850]

Same old Heaney. Home run pitcher.

[Blarg]

Yup, suckage worse than Canning.

[drpiranha]

Break up the Angels. No, seriously, they had their fun. Now get some better players and break up these Angels.

[AngeLifer]

Campero and Kavadas back to back HRs.. Heaney throwin BP, Angels up 7-1

[Blarg]

Can the producers please shut the fuck up about Kevin Pillar, the biggest non story to be pushing all year. He is a backup outfielder that has a 93 OPS+ bat. That is below league average, he should retire. Enough already. 

[eligrba4ever]

Missed the Angels 7 runs. I should go out more often.

It's not ironclad, but it looks like there will be no final series sweep.

FA is thin and Angels in rebuild and he is a longshot.

I would trade Ward in a military second.

[daygloman]

Looking good tonight, boys!

Go Halos!

@Stradling, thoughts on Quijada?

Quijada is just destroying the momentum for 2025.

[Angels 1961]

Angels will need about 6 or 7 in BP and 4 to 5 starters for 2025. Maybe a 2B could be chasing White Sox record in 2025.

Same as they've always been. If he can only throw a 92-94 mph fastball 98 % of the time, I don't want him on the team.

[daygloman]

LOL! Ohhhhhhh for FUCKS sake!?!!
