I just look at it as the team has been kicked in the balls repeatedly since they came back from a frigid Kansas rain out and they have a lot of talent that is still not playing to their potential.  I could understand if it was the middle of September but it's friggin' June.

Jeez, blame it on something beside the weather. That is such a cop out.

The bullpen, the lineup, Scioscia, the injuries......................anything but the weather.

It's not like their flight made a tramatic forced landing, due to weather. It's not like they sat in airline seats on a tarmac for hours, due to weather.

Most of these kids grew up in places like the tropics or Mississippi or New Jersey. They can deal with weather.

Unlike Southlanders..............

How dare you cast aspersions on the weather!

For the record, I prefer excited tits.

Yep, chilly days, stiff wind, no bra...

Baseball should go to a first and second half with two trade deadlines (each with 30 games to go in their half).

More fans would be more interested for far more games each season.

[Stradling]

Baseball should absolutely move the trade deadline back to August 15th or the 30th.

Careful...

[mulwin444]

Seattle swept, including a 1-run loss, and they have Boston this weekend.  Right now, 2nd Wild Card lead down to 6.5.

If the Angels can take it to the Blue Jays, KC and Balt, and hold steady against BOS and LAD,  they could have some meaningful games against at Seattle July 3rd -5th and at home July 9th-12th.

Honestly, the path is wide open for them if they wish to take it.

6 games back now with the win...was 8.5 GB just a few days ago.

It can happen that quick 

We're not sellers, people.

Dude, piss off.  Seriously, every word you type is dripping with cynicism and defeat.

Why are you even here?

Just wait until the season's over and, if they lose, come back for the wake...and be sure to bring your robe and scythe.

Good luck going down this road.  He’s the absolute worst.  I’d take 10 Lifetimes over one of him.

It's amazing how beating bad teams fires up the Angel faithful............until we play an actual GOOD team.

Now seven games below .500 against teams that are .500 or better when we play them. Now twelve games over .500 against teams below .500.

I posted about this about ten days ago, when the Angels has played 7-10 more games against the bad teams. Since then, it has evened out. Little wonder we are 3-7 in our last ten games.

Our schedule toughens in July.

Yep, us and Seattle really need to beat good teams.  They are playing their toughest stretch of games like we did last month.   The second wild card will be decided by head to head between us and The Mariners.   On the season they have the edge 4-2.  We play them 13 more times 10 of which are at home.  

[totdprods]

The Mariners are really getting lucky. There are a lot of warning signs - doesn't mean it'll translate to losses though - reminds me of the Rangers a couple years back when they won the division. 

Dee Gordon, since moving back to 2B.
As a CF (185 PA): .314/.339/.395/.734 - 3 walks, 27 K, 15-17 in SB attempts
As a 2B (101 PA): .250/.260/.302/.562 - 1 walk, 14 K, 4-7 in SB attempts
Also, yes, Dee Gordon has four walks this year a 1.4 BB%, which is low even by his paltry standards (career 4.2%, '17 3.6%)

Mitch Haniger:
First 27 games: .309/.384/.701/1.085 with 6 doubles, triple, 10 HR, 12 BB, 26 K
Nest 47 games: .233/.323/.375/.698 with 5 doubles, triple, 6 HR, 22 BB, 46 K

Segura is a badass, but his BAbip (.372) is a little high over his career norm of .323

Paxton had a 5.12 ERA in his first 6 starts, a sparkling 1.67 ERA in his next 6 starts, and now a 5.73 ERA in his last 4 starts. 

Dipoto has traded away almost anything resembling depth. That train could fly off the rails at any time with injuries or some bad breaks, or they could luck out like Texas did and hold on. All the Angels can do is fix their issues and start winning. 
 

[Stradling]

Also we get excited because we’re fans.  If you don’t enjoy or get excited when your team wins or does well then what’s the point of being a fan?

We are .500 at home and five games above .500 on the road. That MAY be because we have played more bad teams on the road;  I dont know. 

HFA could be an edge. Having better players is a better edge.

How many of those games will the Mariners have Cano back, I wonder.

Here's what will probably kill us, barring a significant trade for a bat. Trout will get walked even MORE with two. .250 hitters behind him.

It's also amazing how people can't even get excited for a little good news about the Angels.

The team just finished a stretch where they were eating a giant turd with 15 guys on the DL and now they've made up 2.5 games in 3 days.

Be of good cheer...if only until the next loss/DL visit

It's hard to be cheery about another team actually playing worse than us, with a tougher schedule. That's how we made up the ground.

And that's also how the M's increased their lead and padded their record with that rather uninspiring run differential.  While it's not the only indicator of a team's performance, it does provide a decent idea of where a team should be in relation to it's record and, by indications, the M's are playing over their heads.  In the end, the Angels' fate is still within their hands.
