Maybe Ricky Nolasco wasn't so bad after all.

 

I would honestly consider Lackey at this point

Nolasco was the worst pitcher to watch last year

It's amazing how Scioscia has pushed every right button so far and people can get so pissed off about it. Talk about confirmation bias....

I actually think Scioscia's managing the last week or so has been excellent.  The best I've seen in several years.

I'm pissed because Ohtani isnt playing just because a lefty is starting.  I mean i get it if it's randy johnson on the mound.  But Martin Perez?  Does he have some kind of devastating slider on lefties or something that I dont know about?

Ohtnai has been the hottest hitter the angels have, why sit a guy when he's hot?  

[tdawg87]

Skaggs is pretty good.

[Waybackman]

Skaggs is one lucky s o b

[bloodbrother]

Skaggs got a lucky rabbits foot lodged up his ass tonight because I don't know how he hasn't allowed 5 or 6 runs already. He looks awful out there

Wtf man. Is Ohtani our only starter who knows how to attack hitters? What is Nagy doing with these guys?

Nagy can only polish a turd so much

[Homebrewer]

Skaggs is almost as much fun to watch as CJ Nibs was.

[JustATroutFan]

That was a close one! Bullpen is going to have to used way more than we would have liked. 

[Sherlock31]

Another dehydration for Skaggs....

[Broad Street]

SIMBAAAAAAA!!!!!

[bloodbrother]

Just keep scoring runs thx

Simmons just homered 

[Jason]

Thankfully Perez is worse than Skaggs

[GrittyVeterans]

Simmons is a legit MVP candidate. Insane

[Taylor]

Simba!!! It's a good thing the offense showed up (again) tonight.

Because Pujols needs a DH day, literally the only reason

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Simmons is all glove.

Yay!

Thanks Babe.

[Ohtani&Trout]

Simmons is one of three players on the Angels (Trout and Ohtani being the others) that I want to see spend the rest of their career here. Hopefully Eppler gives him a contract extension.

All of these guys pitch scared it seems

Why????  The pussies are getting good run support! 

[Make Angels Great Again]

I don't think i've ever seen the Angels bats look this good, seriously.

JarsOfTears, stop being such a bitch.

Scioscia said the lefty starter has nothing to do with Ohtani sitting.

[JarsOfClay]

It kinda looks to me like Skaggs is tipping his change up, and the batters have smashed it.

That’s with Trout batting .250
