[Jason]

Oh yeah, the Angels suck at home

[TroutField]

What an annoying game, somebody tell them they are playing the f’n Twins 

[Adios]

The homer is on Richards. It's his job to finish at least 6.

Yeah that's what we wanted but it was obvious that it wasn't going to happen.  So there was no choice but to pull him.  6 innings would have been nice though.  Just wasn't meant to be.  Now we have a tie game. Hopefully our offense gets cranking again.

[eligrba4ever]

Richards' fifth inning ERA of over 8.00 just went up again.

[Docwaukee]

bullpen awesomeness again.  

[Stradling]

Richards didn’t deserve a win.  

[bloodbrother]

Don't think anybody thought this pen would hold a 1 run lead for nearly 4 innings so at least they got that out of the way early. Now the bats know they gotta score a few more runs

I will be thankful when we no longer have to see him in an Angel uniform. He has been such a disappointment 

[GrittyVeterans]

Richards, lol. That was a meatball to Dozier

Agreed, definitely not an ace. Just your average top 10 pitcher.

The last ace was Pedro.

???

F’ing team, it was a fun one for awhile.

I disagree, I just think you look at him for what he is, a solid major league starter.  A guy with good stuff that needs a short leash.  Better him than someone with less stuff that needs a short leash.

that's dumb. he's still better than most starter.  just because he hasn't lived up to expectations doesn't mean he's a bad pitcher.  

[UndertheHalo]

Ohtani about to go yard

[Stradling]

The next time he is called an Ace by one of our own, that person needs to be given a 24 hour ban.

Moron.

[Angel Oracle]

Richards pitches like a big weenie.

With his stuff, that’s bordering on criminal!!!!

[JarsOfClay]

Maybe move Richards to a middle relief role since he's probably the best 4 inning pitcher in the game.

Because the energy from the fans are crap in So Cal just how Josh Hamilton and others commented about it over the decades I’ve been going there. Just the same as having more Yankees fans there and hearing them cheer more. We’re just too laid back after work in Cali and players notice. 

[krAbs]

I mean, I'm pretty fine with Richards not being an ace, because aces don't exist. Every time someone talks about an ace, I just mentally replace it with "bigfoot".

I agree. Richards > Nolasco.

Just don’t call him an ace.

[OregonLAA]

An infield single. A single because of a shift. And a home run from a guy who hit 42 last year and Richards is a bum? Cool

Lol.  Bravo man.  Really.  Great work here.
