Angels at A’s 08/23/2020 Gamethread

This seems to be the last in Oakland for the year (unless the two teams meet in the playoffs, and stranger things have happened). Dylan Bundy tries to recover from his off-performance last time out. Anthony Bemboom is not behind the plate, so we’ll see if the RHP redeems himself.

Angels Lineup: Fletcher 4, La Stella 3, Trout 8, Rendon 5, Ohtani 10, Goodwin 7, Adell 9, Castro 2, Simmons 6. Bundy 1

A’s Lineup: Semien 6, Laureano 8, Olson 3, Chapman 5, Canha 10, Grossman 7, Piscotty 9, Kemp 4, Murphy 2. Montas 1

Adell looks fairly lost out there in all honesty.

Really, the Angels should send him back to Long Beach and have him doing constant defensive reps and baserunning drills if their intent is to make him anything like a capable corner outfielder. He’s playing out of position, and this is too big a stage to learn the game in real-time.

It’s a coin flip anyhow between him and Marsh in terms of who has the higher ceiling – might as well give Marsh a chance for 20 games or so.

Unless they use percentage

Hey guys.. just logged on after the infuriating clipper game.

Btw i feel people are making way way….way too much of a deal of the lack of tagging by Adell. Trying to deek someone into making a mistake? :/

Third base coach should have yelled over to Adell “Adell tag up!”. Maybe he did and we could not hear it. But Player Development is just flat out awful.

My Tv is pretty wide, so are my monitors. Why can’t sports utilize that real estate with a whole field view, and some PnP of batters pitchers, runners, and such. I really would like full field view.

Even if he got to third he would not of scored.

It’s like, Adell has never been coached in his life. He made it this far with just his god given talents

Agree with Vic and Gubi there, bad baserunning by Jo.
