Astros at Angels 07/31/2020 Gamethread

It’s Harry Potter’s birthday! On the subject of magic, Lance McCullers’s curveball. (Groans from the crowd.) The Angels will be tasked with hitting that thing tonight, and here’s the lineup that will try.

Angels Lineup: Fletcher 6, Goodwin 9, Rendon 5, Ohtani 10, Upton 7, La Stella 3(!!), Rengifo 4, Castro 2, Hermosillo 8, Andriese SP

Bang Bang Lineup: Springer 8, Altuve 4, Bregman 5, Brantley 10, Gurriel 3, Correa 6, Reddick 9, Tucker 7, Maldonado 2, McCullers Jr. SP

As for retaliation, well, Cam Bedrosian SAYS they’re not going to do anything…we will see…

Game start is 6:10 pm, continuing the wacky start times.

And Walsh ended it. A guy who shouldn’t even be on the roster.

Ain’t it great to be a one dimensional player on the Halos. Suck shit at your position, at the plate, but still bounce players out of your spot, and then get choice playing time.

I now feel bad for these pitchers. They’ve worked hard to get here but they should be in AAA.

They should have been traded in a package deal, for some talent

Screw it. Drill Bregman. Nothing to lose of Barnes gets suspended. I’ll kick in on the fine.

Terry Smith: The runners were not sure.
Charles Sutton: How were the runners not sure? Oh, that’s right, Andrew Scrub is still warming up.
