I miss spring training Calhoun

It’s not that he isn’t an ace, it’s the whole CJ Wilson school of pitching. Set up the batter with 2 really good pitches and then float a fastball right down broadway and the hitter is all over it. Or jump ahead 0-2 and then dick around and end up walking the batter. 

I’m not saying he’s a good pitcher or that he should be part of the Angels’ future plans. There just isn’t any other viable options right now

Ducks down 1-0, 1st period.

Disagree. Angels are improving but they're still a good tier below the AL elite right now. Arrieta wasn't putting them over the top

This fast start shouldn't cloud that this is still a team that's a good tier below HOU/NYY/BOS/CLE right now. Just keep building and then ideally they'll be aggressive in this upcoming FA class which is excellent

Goal this season is to try and get one of the WC spots and then hope for the best

I don't disagree with the point your making, but I wonder how much our kid pitchers could learn from a stud like him? Plus, it wouldn't a bad thing at all to have a proven stud on the hill every five days.

Gubi is always saying that someone is going to do some damage.

Time for some video games

Do they ? Why is Alex Wood so great ? He’s not that different from our guys.   Or Maeda.  Or last year Kazmir.  Or McCarthy.  The Astros also had limited pitching depth.  Our guys talent wise are pretty solid. 

Lol Alex Wood would be the ace of this staff (not counting Ohtani).

All of those legit contending teams have much better rotations.

[UndertheHalo]

Someone tell me about how the royals had 1 and 2 pitchers 1-5.

Does giving the pitcher a cold count as damage?

[CaliAngel]

Why the fuck are they forcing us to listen to Mota? 

Ever since I heard this douchebags voice the Halo's haven't won. 

Dump this dumbasses ass. Nobody cares what he has to say.

Wtf are you talking about.  The dodgers wouldn’t even start the guy in the playoffs last year.  Do you know anything about him ? Last year was the first time he was even functional as a starting pitcher.  He had fine numbers but you’re  fucking reaching man.  

Our pitchers are fine as long as they’re healthy.  Calm down.

I would fine that dumbass $1000 for trying to pull every fucking pitch. That outside pitch was ripe for going to the left side and Calhoun still tried to take it to right. What an idiot, a dumb mule headed idiot.

[southpaw]

I love how Skaggs is not afraid to go after the bottom of the order hitter but when it gets around to the top of the order, he is afraid to challenge them.

"Completely shitting their pants at the sight of a Red Sox jersey" is my favorite Angels tradition.

Calhoun was supposed to be a bargain, honestly if he never signed the contract I think he would be non tendered at this point. I'd rather play Jones everyday next year, but instead Kole will make $12M...

Yeah this shit is driving me nuts. 

[fan_since79]

At least we're not the Kansas City Royals, who are truly dreadful.

Of course, they did recently win a World Series...

Ya 152 IP.  He’s incredible. 

[Vlad27Trout27]

OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh the first change-up!!!!!!!!!!!!!! six runs to late.

And, could some one tell me why that Cozart blunder was not called an Error, it looked like there was a good chance to get a Dp or at least a out.   

[Waybackman]

Now even Simmons is sucking
