Angels at Mariners 08/06/2020 Gamethread

Jo Adell has a little quad tightness, so he’s not in the lineup. Shohei Ohtani is back, and Max Stassi gets the night-day double. Stassi is T-3 for catchers in fWAR this season.

Angels Lineup: Fletcher 6, Trout 8, Rendon 5, Ohtani 10, La Stella 3, Upton 7, Goodwin 9, Stassi 2, Rengifo 4, Bundy SP

Mariners Lineup: Crawford 6, Moore 9, Seager 5, Vogelbach 10, Long Jr. 4, White 3, Gordon 7, Smith 8, Hudson 2, Walker SP

I had to go back to 2013 to find a pitcher with more than 1 CG. Vargas had 3.

Bundy is back out for the ninth, first Angels starter to do so since Heaney in June ‘18.

Stassi, from riding the bench to Johnny Bench. With Bundy, two low probability success stories, so far. Now get me some relief.

I know it’s called the gamblers fallacy, but with our absolute wet blanket results last year, maybe it’s just the universe righting itself…

Middleton might come in. Everyone cheer loud so he doesn’t give up runs!

Eight innings of one hit baseball. Will Joe Maddon let him go nine?
