Look at the bright side...

[Inside Pitch]

The Angels got their bad 1st month out of the way yesterday.

 

 

[TobiasFunke]

We really had no business beating Felix in the first place. I'll chalk it up to that

[Angel Dog and Beer]

So far, we're undefeated in April!

[eaterfan]

Haven't we won like our last 4 season openers? It didn't seem to help.

[Blarg]

Until last night, Hernandez was 2-5 at Anaheim stadium.

The bullpen had no business pitching the way they did.

He's still the King

[Jason]

It really is tough to assume a win against a team's ace.

It really is tough to assume a win against a team's ace.

 

The M's should be saying the same thing.

[Glen]

It's a new game tonight, they'll turn it around.

Before last night, the "King" was 8-13 in 35 career starts against the Angels.

Before last night, the "King" was 8-13 in 35 career starts against the Angels.

 

...and only has 5 wins in his last 26 starts against them.

No one died at least!

Yet.

[Inside Pitch]

Before last night, the "King" was 8-13 in 35 career starts against the Angels.

 

 

And those numbers don't really tell much of the story the last three years.  

 

In the previous three years (11,12.13), he's gone 1-1 with a 3.52 ERA and a .242 average allowed.  They have had success winning games but the Angels have managed a .697 OPS combined lifetime vs. Felix.

 

The Angels "owning" Felix is pretty overstated.

Until last night, Hernandez was 2-5 at Anaheim stadium.

 

pretty irrelevant, no?  If you watched the game, dude was filthy last night, and he's one of the best pitchers in the game.  Ironically, that Trout HR in the first seemed to wake him up/piss him off.  The only other run we scored after that was on the Pujols "double" that would have been caught by any other LF.

Just means he was due for a win.

[Jason]

The M's should be saying the same thing.

They are different levels of aces for sure.

Silver Linings Thread...after game 1.

Not good.

[DB24]

Rangers and A's lost as well.

His sinker last night was just pure evil...
