we will still make the wild card, the AL only has like 6 teams that are actually trying.

With the current pitching staff I'm not so sure

Ohtani just needs to keep his weight back like he did on his 3rd homer. Giancarlo has that super closed off stance to handle outside pitches, but he's super strong so it only works for him. Ohtani has good power, but it's probably going to be hard to deal with major league pitching when you're contorting your body all over the place.

Ohtani keeps to be underestimated by the scouts, sports writers and now you.

You know who’s not underestimated ?

Kole Calhoun. 

[101halo]

Hey Kole, remember 2016? Do that, please. 

[IheartLA]

DId Kole shave just to break his slump? LOL, 

[Waybackman]

Hey Kole: surprise us

[AngelsFaninGA]

If we intend on contending we need to look outside the organization for pitching and get a Cole/Sale guy like the Sox and Astros have done. Once we get past Ohtani/Richards our pitching is a complete dumpster fire full of AAA guys

Honestly, I sort of hate hate Johnny Cueto and stupid wind up and gay predator hair. 

I like him.

I wanted us to sign him. Looking much smarter this year than I did last year.

You're mentally weak.

 

thanks, Jetes!

Calhoun needs to be sent to AAA or relegated to 4th OF. Slumps don't last multiple seasons

Just hopped into this thread and forgot today was a day game. I assume I shouldn't even bother turning the game on.

It's a great game.

You are referring to the UCLA vs southern cal game game, right?

I’d be more accepting if he wore Angel red.

I agree with the first sentence.  If we really expect to compete for a championship we need to go get another top of the rotation arm.  Cueto will be on the block.

he's due $12M next season, LOL

he's not going anywhere unfortunately

[Waybackman]

It must be nice to have a pitcher who is consistently good. Gives you a chance to win with every appearance, 

[eligrba4ever]

Despite the series loss, Mike Krukow, a very good pitcher in his day, says the Angels overall have the best collection of arms he has seen so far this season;

Man, I’ve been stubbornly sticking on the Kole bandwagon.  It’s getting undeniable.  The guy is trash right now.  Doesn’t matter how good the defense is.  He can’t and hasn’t hit for shit.

Haha.  This is a very stupid take.  Based on what ?

[Angel Oracle]

Is this just vintage Cueto today, or has this team totally QUIT at the plate this week???

And Krukow needs to stop smoking the good stuff!!!

They look like a 4th place AL West team this week.

One cold out can’t totally mess up momentum, can it????

[ScottT]

The Angel's have lost the series?

[fan_since79]

Cueto, 73 pitches/50 strikes

I can't believe we're going to get no-hit today.

Based on he has probably seen a lot more of MLB than you have.
