Angels at Astros Game 3 Gamethread

This is a day that is bigger than baseball. None of us will every forget where we were during the attacks on 9/11; that feeling of disbelief and helplesness.

Let’s pause to remember the victims of that day. Then move forward playing America’s past time.

again, ’cause it’s not the first time this season, if the Angels don’t care about winning the game, why should I? why should we?

Mayers sucks. How long is this dude’s leash? What inside info does he have on arte or perry? Fucking guy suck. MOVE ON!

Davidson could have given up 8 runs.

Mayers sucks. He’s proven it year after year.

Yep I still shocked we offered him Arbitration this year. We could have released him before the season with no harm/ no foul.

Last two years his stats have been good, not great but not bad guy to have deep in the pen. 2021, 75 innings pitched, 90 K’s. 3-to-1 K to BB ratio. Gives up too many homers.

If the Angels really wanted to keep it a two-run deficit, why was Mayers still pitching?

I see I picked a great time to remember this is an early game. Nice to see Shohei with another “dinger”. Not nice to see Davidson and especially Halloween.

Do you guys want me to put the Astros homers in the postgame thread? I don’t want to go rubbing salt into the wounds.

If you don’t put Astros homers in the postgame, did they happen?

Warning Tucker meltdown in progress ( he got one time through the line up so I guess this was predictable)

Not sure he is the 6th pitcher moving forward – happier with Silseth or even Mayers/Barria. That said, it was some bad luck on the HR and Altuve hit.
(And Alvarez did nothing to get out of the way of that pitch, don’t you have to try to avoid it?)

Anything involving mayers in an angels jersey is a no go

Talk about home field advantage.

Loving that pitch count by Garcia. No quick innings so far.

Ward has regressed as a fielder.

He is going to have to earn his starting spot next Spring. Adell, Moniak, Sierra, and we might even want to sign someone.

MarineLayer

Or maybe part of a trade package?

Sure, that works too. Just not sure I am sold on Ward long term – despite those first 7 weeks.

Definitely need to acquire a strong corner OF

Kind of hard to regress when you be already had your share of fielding adventures this year but his starting spot is not endanger *Unless he’s traded in the off season

What did Garcia just drop out of his pocket? Looked too small for their standard ‘card’ with the signs.

Hit a home run in 6-consecutive games, I think I’ll give Trout a day off. Has to be tired. Maddon Jr. at the helm.

Got to keep him fresh for the 2023 playoff run.

Moniak and Shohei! 2-0 Angels.
