Angels vs. A’s Gamethread

Trout and Ohtani blanket giveaway night tonight. It is almost like all the promos revolve around two guys or something.

As much as a think Phil is an idiot, I feel like he’s done a pretty good job managing the pitching tonight. It helps obviously having Moore and Estevez available, but I thought he pulled Canning and Moore at the right time. Agree with letting Estevez come back out for the 9th too.

Tomorrow when we lose, he’ll be back to being an idiot and stormtroopers will dance and stuff

Totally agree. I was hoping to see Canning finish 6, but he was “ripe” at 5+ and 88 pitches.

I’m sure Phil will have ample opportunity to reaffirm his idiocy status tomorrow

Well, we do hit more hard-hit balls to fielders than anyone else. Some these hard hit balls will drop in. That shot by Neto I thought was a hit based on the sound.

Zach yet to get a free base thus far but is making contact, striking out at a 19% clip

Did you guys notice Loup had the names of his three kids (presumably) burned into the leather of one of the fingers of his glove? That was pretty sweet.

Surprised he doesn’t have more than three kids with how much he loves scoring.

What about Estevez’s delivery makes it look so disjointed?

Is he bouncing his glove off his front leg or something?

I think that leads to his control wobbles

No idea, let’s just hope he’s ready to miss some bats.

Question regarding the “reliever must pitch to 3 batters” rule:
If a guy comes in and there are 2 outs and he gets the first batter he faces out, does he have to pitch to 2 more batters the next inning or is it only 3 batters in the same inning?

Huh? 2 more batters?

I believe he is no longer held to the rule because he finished the inning in which he started.

Yes, if he returns

Only needs to finish the inning.

If he comes in for one batter and gets the last out of that inning the manager does not have to bring him back. However, if he does bring him back for the next inning he has to face at least 2 batters in the new inning to meet the 3 batter minimum rule requirements.

Clear as mud, huh?

From the rule book:

. If a pitcher faces one batter to end an inning, he may be removed, but if he is brought back for a second inning, he must still face two more batters for a total of three.

 I see you’re drinking 1%. Is that ’cause you think you’re fat? ‘Cause you’re not. You could be drinking whole if you wanted to.

With so many different players playing first base for the Angels so far this year, I wonder why Thaiss hasn’t had a turn yet.
