Thanks. I couldn't think of one

Well actually it's too bad you had to ask. These type of performances were supposed to be the norm.

I thought MLB wanted the umps to stop calling the low strike. Guess not.

He has a 5-run lead.  He doesn't really need to "settle down."

 The Halos had their chances and they past them up

wtf 3 straight pitches nowhere near the zone. does he seriously think the batter's gonna swing at that or he just can't control where the hell the ball is going to

[Blarg]

Skaggs is not good. 

[Adam]

If you're gonna be wild at least drill someone

Maybe he's amping up when he should be taking a couple of deep breaths instead.

Skaggs just kick started the Rangers season. 

[Jason]

The rotation was better off without Skaggs 

[bloodbrother]

So right now Chavez and Nolasco have been the teams best starters. That's either a good thing or a bad thing depending on how you view it.

[Angel Oracle]

1990's WWE's Jerry Sags >>>> Skaggs.

[jchalos89]

I feel like Skaggs is the same player 4 years ago and now. Has not made any improvement at all. Good curveball, but no other bright spot in his pitching

[jchalos89]

Rangers defense is giving so many opportunities to the Angels but they just can't cash in

[Adam]

Meanwhile Hamels is living on the black. Tough to do much with that

Great, this will be your shitty motto going forward.  I look forward to you being that guy yet again this season.

Geez, lighten up. Can't anyone be critical of the Angels w/o you crawling up their ass, as a moderator?

Let us voice our opinions.

 

 

 

[Stradling]

So I shouldn't mention you were the one that authored the first Week 1 thread?

Of course but he wasn't being critical.  He was being the guy he's always been on here.  He's the guy who lets us know how bad things are even when they aren't bad.  

[Ohtaniland]

We had a nice spring, a nice start to the season. No complaints.

I'd say he WAS being critical, by being sarcastic about our surprising start, given our roster and our April history.

Can't he do that.........even if it's his 1000th time?

You're like no moderator I've even seen, You're like the thinnest skinned homer ever. It's not a becoming trait as a moderator, dude. Let the tribe have their say and check your personal opinions at the door.

Unless the moderator creed here is challenge all criticism of the Angels.

[WeatherWonk]

Anyway, back to the game. I like the looks of Norris. I think he is going to be an asset to the Angels this year, despite his one bad outing this year. I think he will move himself into a more important role than long relief with a lead or mop up while behind. He has good movement and good command.

Simmons makes an error and I'm starting to think it might not be the Halo's night.
