Angels at Diamondbacks Game 2 Gamethread

I wonder how many players have houses out in Phoenix and sleep in their own beds when visiting.

Moar Moore has run 🏃‍♀️ its course in 2024.

Not to be too nitpicky, but why wasn’t that a running lane violation? – Perdomo ran on the grass much of the way making Thaiss throw around htm

Wouldn’t that have been tragic: Soriano getting injured in the 9th after that performance.

Soriano has serious ace potential.

He doesn’t look relaxed though.

I was just thinking how focused he looks.

Focused and chill. No worries with him. Smooth ass operator

He literally flipped a switch after the HR and said “I’m going to get a few strikeouts here.”

He seemingly can induce grounders at will or go after guys. It’s pretty impressive.

Nice to see us drop the hammer on someone for a change.

If we can fix Detmers and make Patrick consistent, we could have pretty good starting pitching.

I’d consider it a big victory if only one of those things happened. Preferably Detmers.

We’d like for you to start working with him next week.

Soriano at 72 pitches. Does Wash allow him to attempt a CG if the 8th goes well?

I can hear the excuses now: rookie, still working up to it, need to save his arm, etc.

Low stress night, I’d think if 8 is easy, he’ll start 9

Should have been placed at 3rd. But it was below the line

Is the ground rule “ hits any part of the line it’s a home run” or “must be completely over the line”?

Schanuel playing a nice defense on most nights. Bet he only gets better and better.
Fingers crossed that he can start driving the ball consistently someday

It’s more fun when we see bad pitching from our opponents.
