Would the real Angels team please stand up...

Is this the 98 win team that we are watching or is this now just a "you win some, you lose some" team? I'm not sure what to make of this club. It seems like we are all waiting for team to take off but there's still ice on the wings. Edited June 24, 2015 by CALZONE

Well let's de-ice those wings and get this team going

Looks like a team with its hands up its a**

[Angel Oracle]

Trout and Pujols are doing all they can.

Need baserunners in front of them.

They just have to stay around .500 until they get this mess straightened out.  Any team who is .500 or better in this division at the All Star Break can suddenly get hot and rip off 7-10 wins in a row, and then suddenly you're in the race for sure.  AO is right on the baserunners, and we all know they need a legitimate LF'er and DH, or someone in this organization to suddenly blossom (looking unlikely).

Cowart hit .240 in AA and has 20 at bats in AAA.  I wouldn't say he's "suddenly blossoming" yet.

[WallyWorld]

they've been consistently inconsistent from day 1 this season. I think that's your answer. This is what the team is - mediocre.

It was kind of a tongue in cheek suggestion. I say kind of because I do hope the best for him.

This is a "you win some, you lose some" team.

I hope they wash their hands

2/5 of the rotation stinks(Weav, Shoemaker) and CJ Wilson is starting to turn back into a pumpkin. His ERA is getting closer and closer to going over 4. The bullpen has no reliable 7th inning guy. It went from ridiculously deep to basically just Smith/Street after the losses of Jepsen and Grilli. The offense is bad. Right now, what we're looking at is a team with a very bad offense and a questionable rotation with a thin bullpen. Being at .500 sounds about right

Not resigning Grilli, then trading Jepsen for Joyce was not so good

All this talk of a 7-10 game winning streak is silly.

 

When you're scoring two or three runs a game most nights, a long winning streak is a fantasy.
