Mike Trout is supposed to return on Tuesday. But for now, we have the Ren-Ren dynamic duo in the 2-3 spots. Shohei Ohtani looks to improve on last Sunday’s start. Shouldn’t be that hard, right?
Angels Lineup: Fletcher 6, Rengifo 4, Rendon 5, Upton 7, Goodwin 8, Pujols 10, Ward 9, Stassi 2, Thaiss 3, Ohtani SP
Astros Lineup: Springer 8, Altuve 4, Bregman 5, Gurriel 3, Brantley 10, Reddick 9, Tucker 7, Mayfield 6, Garneau 2, James SP
Buttery is done, put the proverbial fork in him.
This loss is not on Buttrey.
He didn’t get pounded or hit hard. His stuff was good. He’s throwing 96-97 with movement. A little ground ball tied it up.
This loss is squarely on Stassi who only needed an average flyball to win it. He choked.
We can also look at Rengifo who struck out with one out and the tying run at third.
Two things that are known to blow daily: Old Faithful and the Angels bullpen.
Though, this loss could really be blamed on Ward for his bonehead lack of awareness.
1st line funny stuff. 2nd line is a fact.
Recommended for the YNP reference!
MLB gave Barnes the loss, as if the win-loss statistic needed to be beat down even more
Last one out turn out the lights, in the mean time trade Thaiss and Ward and throw in Walsh. Nobody would want our Bullpen so might as well deal with it. Our farm is not that good, really not that good.
The Buttercupness Level for this game was:
QUITE HIGH
Such a bad team.
good way to spend an afternoon, eh?
Time of the game: 4 hours and 37 mins.
Does Barnes or Buttrey get the loss? That would be ridiculous if it was Barnes
I’m giving it to Thaiss
How are you guys not saying Stassi ???
Bases loaded and only one out. You have to come through there guys.
Ward.
