The schedule...

It has been tougher on the Angels than the Rangers, thus far. I hope we gain some ground against Astros and Twins coming up. Perhaps during that time the team can begin to gel offensively and the pitching can pull its head out.

[Halos of Anaheim]

That's the only hope I have for this team in April right now. Let's hope we can get to .500 in these next 6 games.

I'm already tired of this excuse, and pardon me for farting in your thread.  We should be able to hold our ground with these teams.

OK so you are tired. Good to know.

[Count Orlok]

If you're gonna be a playoff team you should probably aim for being around .500 against other playoff teams.

It's not fair the Angels had to face three playoff teams in a row:

 

the Reds, the Rangers and the A's

 

while the Rangers faced three pushover teams:

 

The Astros, the Mariners, and the Angels

This relates to sample size. So far it's extremely small against good teams with a cold start during interleague play with a team that has had a big staff turnover. These are not excuses and I expect way more than this out of a team with this payroll. Having said that, you can turn into an Angel Oracle type and start taking blood pressure medication or realize we have played 5% of the season and anything can happen.

Hehe, I wasn't going to point that out.

I can't wait for interleague games to return. We get to play the Pirates and Cubs seven times.
