Angels gonna follow a 7 game win streak with a 7 game losing streak?

Maybe and I think the Giants sweep too

[Waybackman]

Bedrosian warming up. We’re throwing in the towel.

[Ohtaniland]

We need another cold weather break.

[Ohtani&Trout]

Lol!

Yeah I have some early training in the morning so this disaster of a team isn't worth staying up for. I'll just check the box score in the morning. It's also less frustrating that way.

[Ohtaniland]

Lol

Four hits and a BB before Heaney records an out in the fifth. 4-0 Giants.

4-plus IP is about the  max for most Angels starters.

[GrittyVeterans]

Wow

My opinion isn't based on 7 games. Sorry

lol

then we should just total up the numbers from the past 2 years and and fill out the lineup from best to worst.

Trout would be leading off.  

 

[Ohtani&Trout]

So much for having depth and not having a need for a legit starter, eh?

A better idea than having Pujols hit 4th

[Vlad27Trout27]

Welp the curse of the 5th inning has struck again! This is embarrassing 

[Waybackman]

Bet we get swept by the Giants. Then we get Houston. Is Eppler still a genius?

[IheartLA]

McCutchen 3 run home run = Game Over

[eligrba4ever]

Just typed the 4-0 lead and McCutchen unloads. 7-0. And we got Cammy.

Run prevention is tough when the pitching continues to serve up HR's at a league leading pace

Getting beat down again

Yes he is. The franchise is in 10 times better shape than when he took over, regardless of what happens this season

Eppler is fine overall, but he seriously overestimated and overvalued his starters. Having depth means nothing when the quality is this poor. The Angels needed a legit starter and they failed to get one.

[nando714]

Run differential update????

That would be a MLB leading pace.

How many of the FA signings have pitched well to start the year tbh? Arrieta is off to a good start but I think Darvish has been terrible, Cobb's been a disaster in Baltimore, and Lynn hasn't been great

Yep, it’s basically old man yelling at clouds.
