Marco will be brilliant, Tim Beckham won't hurt us defensively, and Omar Narvaez walks us off with a towering home run. It's too beautiful a day to get swept by the despicable Angels. Go M's!

LAA Lineup

M Trout (R) CF
S Ohtani (L) DH
A Pujols (R) 1B
C Puello (R) LF
T La Stella (L) 3B
D Garneau (R) C
B Goodwin (L) RF
L Rengifo (S) 2B

And Scott Servais' 4jillionth rearranging of deck chairs of the USS Mariner:

M Smith (L) CF
M Haniger (R) RF
E Encarnación (R) 1B
D Santana (R) LF
K Seager (L) 3B
T Beckham (R) DH
O Narváez (L) C
D Moore (R) SS
S Long (L) 2B

Turning Vogelbach into a platoon player.

Either need to let him see lefties now, or they're forcing the hand.

I'd much rather see Vogelbach get swings against LHP than Mallex Smith.

Damn, Zm. I was wondering what fool would do the game thread, thought about doing it myself but started getting the hives and a headache thinking about it. You're a better man than me! Get your first GT victory, will ya?
I'm off to mow the lawn, the island, by the wood pile and down the hill at the street front.
Will check back later to see if these are the only 3 posts today :mrgreen:
Damn, Zm!!!
Hook the Trout. Bonk Pujols in the jewels. Do whatever it takes to make Ohtani oh for the day.
Damn Zm.

I am the living, breathing answer to the once rhetorical question "What fool would do the game thread?"

Goodness gracious every defensive play is an adventure.
3-0 Angels.

I must be the Mike Parrott of game thread starters....

More horrible defense, no errors. Bobble allows runner to get to 2B (ruled double) took DP out of play. Moore goes to 3B with a bad throw and fails to get an out. Gonzales hasn't been good, but looks much worse with poor defense behind him.

Anyone care to explain how Marco gives up base hits on pitches dead over the plate on these counts:

0-2

1-2

A high school pitcher knows to NEVER throw a strike in those counts.

7-0. But Servais will be the manager tomorrow. His "star" pitcher is about to go 0-6 over his last 6 starts with an ERA over 6 and they've done nothing to change it other than: "Marco needs to be better." You think, dumb ass?

Edit:

Marco walks a guy in the midst of a 7-run inning. Encarnacion is on first laughing with the guy who just walked.

Good thing Servais gets these guys to care about getting killed.

Well at least the dagger came early today - the 2nd inning instead of the 8th. I guess I'll also go mow my lawn.

Encarnacion is laughing 'cause he gets to leave this mess soon.
