ashie62 Old-Timey Member Posted August 25, 2023 Posted August 25, 2023 Yes there is a game tonight. Funky weather on tapThe young attendees tonight can say that they saw Ohtani play in their older years
MFS62 Old-Timey Member Posted August 25, 2023 Author Posted August 25, 2023 Ohtani walked in is first at bat.Later
ashie62 Old-Timey Member Posted August 25, 2023 Posted August 25, 2023 My first attended game was these Los Angeles Angels 1966. George Brunet pitching
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted August 25, 2023 Posted August 25, 2023 Mendick and Araúz give us two consecutive sub-.500 OPS's in a row.
Johnny Lunchbucket Old-Timey Member Posted August 25, 2023 Posted August 25, 2023 They live up to that and more
ashie62 Old-Timey Member Posted August 25, 2023 Posted August 25, 2023 I don't know that there is anyone else to use or roster to be constructed
MFS62 Old-Timey Member Posted August 25, 2023 Author Posted August 25, 2023 2-0 AngelsOhtani with a double, Drury and Moustakas with the RBI.Mets striking out in bunches.Later
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted August 25, 2023 Posted August 25, 2023 This last month or so might have been more interesting if aliens hadn't replaced Álvarez with a pod person.
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted August 25, 2023 Posted August 25, 2023 Araúz Roy Staiger tribute is really classy.
MFS62 Old-Timey Member Posted August 25, 2023 Author Posted August 25, 2023 For a brief, shining moment (Camelot theme playing in the background) Roy Staiger was my favorite Met.I thought he would be the answer to our perpetual third base problem.SighLater
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted August 25, 2023 Posted August 25, 2023 I'm not sure that Ron is right. I think a lot of players would love to continue hitting and pitching, but their coaches force them to shut down one or the other.
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted August 25, 2023 Posted August 25, 2023 Araúz should be nicknamed "The Country Gentleman."
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted August 25, 2023 Posted August 25, 2023 I see we're neglecting to do that hitting thing again tonight.
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted August 25, 2023 Posted August 25, 2023 Alonso and Ohtani are participating in the Invitational Base-on-Balls Derby Contest tonight.
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted August 25, 2023 Posted August 25, 2023 Micky Moniak, a former 1/1 draft pick (2016, Phillies) being managed by former 1/1 draft pick Phil Nevin (1992, Astros).Bet that's a first.
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted August 25, 2023 Posted August 25, 2023 Too close to take, DJ.There isn't much like the strike zone in sports. It's a primary goal of the game, yet it doesn't really concretely exist in physical space. It's a two-dimensional plane that folks all think they know the location of, but they all have slight disagreements.And even though we have the technology to not only define it consistently from pitch to pitch all night — and to electronically define the exact location of the baseball within the stadium — we leave the decision on whether the two intersect to some guy's judgment.
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted August 25, 2023 Posted August 25, 2023 It's funny. The ball was hit toward the corner. Mendick seemingly didn't run initially. The camera lost the ball, the booth lost the ball, and then the outfielder lost the ball.
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted August 25, 2023 Posted August 25, 2023 Did that bunt take a bad O'Hoppe?
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted August 25, 2023 Posted August 25, 2023 Switch-hitter Al Monte is our only righty on the bench.
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted August 25, 2023 Posted August 25, 2023 So, running isn't really Mendick's game.
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted August 25, 2023 Posted August 25, 2023 And now the Angels are a GiDP away from getting out of the inning.oe: Or some other kind of DP too.
Edgy MD Site Manager Posted August 25, 2023 Posted August 25, 2023 Álvarez can turn this guy around.But ... no.
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted August 25, 2023 Posted August 25, 2023 That, I'm afraid, was our last best chance.Alvarez now 12 for his last 90 ABs.
Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted August 25, 2023 Posted August 25, 2023 McKenzie Matthew Moniak with the 'Golden Sombrero '

Frayed Knot Old-Timey Member Posted August 25, 2023 Posted August 25, 2023 Despite being 2-1 (at least so far) this is going to be a 3+ hour game.But how nice is it to say that because it's such a rarity this year?
