The Angels as a team have allowed over 100 walks this year. Only three other teams have allowed more: Miami, Chicago White Sox, and Atlanta.

Thank you, Mr. Sunshine.

Those pickoff throws wreck the rhythm.

I agree.

[rafibomb]

Done with these umps

At this point I'll settle for the Angels avoiding a no-hitter.

And not having to pitch anyone other than Parker and Paredes, and give the waaay too overused pen two days off. 

[eligrba4ever]

Pickoff throw works. I'll be quiet now.

There is no way this will get it done in the postseason or against good hitting teams. 

Only the Marlins, White Sox, and Braves have allowed more walks than the Angels. Two of these three teams are in contention for worst team in baseball.

We won the first two games against Houston.

[Blarg]

And that will do it. From 3-0, runner on first with oneout to three outs a pickoff and one pitch later.

[Jay]

Bad enough being picked off, but slapped in the face to boot.

[nando714]

This game is toast 

at least they won 2 games

[GrittyVeterans]

Valbeuna sporting a .650 OPS and bad defensively. Done with him

[Make Angels Great Again]

Yeah Verlander is gonna shut us out.

This game is pretty much a lost cause.

That made me smile. His face got raked like a lawn full of leaves on gardening day.

That will teach him to have the same name as a fabled Lakers point guard.   Get your own name!

My God Kole looks absolutely useless.

[eligrba4ever]

Ohhhh. Kole. Somebody's really gonna pay when your stroke returns.

[Glen]

Calhoun needs a DL visit.

Bench Cold Calhoun now!    Just DO it!

[Make Angels Great Again]

Calhoun has a -0.7 oWAR before the end of April.

That's bad.

Angels are just making it easier on verlander by swinging at literally everything. Make him work!!! 

 

I normally say the same thing, but when they're taking pitches 6 inches off the plate and getting called strikes it's kinda hard.

[Lou]

Verlander is good

+1, just a whiny biotch though

[Blarg]

The Most Valuable Pygmy is annoying as hell.

[daygloman]

Well......................................... FUCK.

Go Halos!
