Gameday: 7/7 Dodgers @Angels

[Amazing Larry]

No way Ohtani plays tomorrow after taking one off the kneecap. 

[IheartLA]

wouldn't be suprised to see him shut down for good now - see you in '20 after TJ

[eligrba4ever]

The swing was kind of weak. Hope Shohei's not out long. 

Long fly out by Fletcher. 

[UndertheHalo]

4 hits.

[WeatherWonk]

Honest to God, rooting for the Angels is like rooting for a damn Senior softball team. EVERYBODY is getting hurt!

Last 14 innings 11 runs allowed by Ramirez but yeah keep him in there 

Has Ramirez gone 1 damn inning without giving up runs, he sucks but yet they keep putting him in. They are only down by 1 run and he kills it for the Angels.

[eligrba4ever]

You weren't gonna get to Jansen two straight nights.

[TooCool]

Jansen is throwing everything right down the middle and our guys can't touch him. Oh well, have a good night all

[Stradling]

Nice night offense.  So Trout gets three hits, and Upton gets one hit.  Just fucking stupid. We can bitch about the bullpen or Scioscia, but when 7 of your 9 guys take the night off from hitting, yea, pretty damn disappointing.

[WeatherWonk]

Lots of pain, but no gain on Seattle. OAK climbs further away. Back tied with the Rays in the WC.

A lefty for the Dodgers tomorrow, Oy veh!!

Think I'll have something stronger than a Summer Shandy...............

Literally every single person we relied on for offensive production has took a shit this year other than Trout. I JUST DONT UNDERSTAND

[Angelsfirst]

I loathe Nick Swisher. That is all.

Pretty much.

Maldonado and Simmons are probably the only other players hitting above their career averages.

Goodbye cruel world

Why is anyone worried about the wild card at this point? We're 10 1/2 back and have to pass two teams just to get to the SECOND wild card spot. The playoffs are a pipe dream.

[TroutField]

Why can’t we just make the playoffs, is it so much to ask for?! 

[bloodbrother]

Your 2018 Los Angeles Angels

They never should have called Blash up to the MLB club.  He was raking in SLC, they should have traded him, knowing that batting stance was not going to be successful at the MLB level.  Now they have blown the trade value he had.

No one was going to trade for him because of his AAA production!

Yes

[totdprods]

I still think McGuire is going to wind up being useful. He's got good stuff. 

[Dick B Back]

Offense blows (again). Are we surprised?

At least he didn't get Decked this time.

He was doing alright in that Baltimore start until the HRs, then he just unraveled. Not sure if it was a stamina thing since he'd been mostly relieving until that game, or if he just got shaken.

Him and Pena are encouraging depth in my eyes, Taylor Cole hasn't looked half-bad either, but it's a shame we're having to rely on them to this level due to all the injuries.

Think I saw yesterday that the Astros have only used 5 SPs this year, and only 15 pitchers. The Angels have already used 12 different SPs and 29 pitchers total.
