152 games

Saying still gives me hope ....****!!!

Remember when we were making fun of the Rangers because they lost to the Astros?

Turns out their opening day starter was playing injured, just like ours (I believe Weaver was injured before fracturing his left arm). We got half our wins this season off of Harrison. 

 

Problem is the Angels rotation falls off a lot more quickly than the Rangers. Their new #1 is Darvish. Our new #1 is CJ. Their current #2 is Ogando. Ours is Blanton. That's not good.

Won't mean anything. You still bought the ticket and are in the stands. The best thing to do is just not show up. This team doesn't deserve to have fans rooting for them.

If sitting in the RF bleachers you might want to avoid wearing it when the Angels are pitching -- you'll need to keep your eyes out for batted balls coming your way.

I enjoy the game of baseball but this team is sucking my baseball joy out of me. Kind of depressing

[Tyler]

Angels hitters going up there trying to hit the 5-run homerun.. down this much just simplify your approach..

[nando714]

Is there anything else to say guys?

Agree 100%

Trout will be lucky to hit .250 this year if he keeps going up there with this same, awful approach in every at bat.

[nando714]

Wonder if Sosh will pull a George Knox in the clubhouse tonight

"This coulda been a win!" Lol

[SCHaloFan]

2 hit SO thru 6 by the 'Stros!! LMAO this is truly horrific. My favorite sport is quickly becoming my least favorite watching this. No energy from a single member of this entire organization

At what point do we as fans have to accept the fact that last year may very well have been a mirage and he simply is not as good as we all thought / hoped?

Nobody is as good as Trout was last year.

Pitching coaches/pitchers watched tape all off season on Trout

The guy needs to make adjustments. He simply isnt doing that

Besides Miguel Cabrera of course

Besides Miguel Cabrera of course

And Bryce Harper

Trout just doesn't strike me as a kid who has a hunger to be great...complacency may have set in very early for him

Lol on the Trout hating

Lol on the Trout hating

It's not hating, it's observing.

[nando714]

Bo Porter putting his guys in position to succeed.

[AZMike]

Besides Miguel Cabrera of course

and -- if not for the broken collar bone situation -- Jeff Mathis.

 

Look at the Angels pitching quality before and after Mathis left the team -- like night and day. CERA = not a false stat. 

[nando714]

Jesus another 1 pitch AB

I'm sorry. This pitching doesn't suck because Mathis isn't here. It sucks because Butcher doesn't know what the **** he's doing.

2-8, 2 GB the Astros and potentially 6.5 GB Oakland after tonight...the hole gets bigger by the day. We're not digging out of this one either I'm afraid
