[kevinb]

Good start

[eligrba4ever]

Heaney is looking for an early night off.

Grand slam 4-0 Houston six batters into the first.

[UndertheHalo]

Lmao.  Honestly, this is for the best.

Heaney escapes the first down just 4-0. (Sarcasm).

[eligrba4ever]

I'm going to Carl's Jr. Don't expect I'll miss anything positive for a while.

[Glen]

Any doubt that we need starting pitching this off-season?

Glad to see the Harp Seals made it safely to Houston for another clubbing.

[WeatherWonk]

Angels draw the Astros Big Three this series. Cole, Verlander and Morton.

[Troll Daddy]

Nice play Ward 

[IIIII]

We have drawn the big three every series which is sad. Also I wish I could get a text only when Trout and Ohtani were hitting so I don't have to waste my time watching the rest of this dumpster fire.

Team ERA since WS win..I'd vote yes. RA/G = Runs Against per Game

He’d help a lot with a couple of the bigger problems.  That’s for sure. 

[Stradling]

I think Yulli thinks Heaney is a Jap. 

[eligrba4ever]

Missed about 30 minutes. Missed Gurriel burying Heaney deeper by two more runs.

Astros seem to bee on the same pace as the Athletics were on Thursday. 

Heaney's goose cooked after 3 innings. Arson squad called in. Five-alarm fire expected shortly,.

Sure, but if we had any pitching at all we might give our offense a chance.

 

Wait a minute...our offense AND our pitching is terrible.

 

[WeatherWonk]

Astro announcers just stated that, except for the Tampa Bay Rays, the Angels have the fewest average innings per start in baseball. Just barely above 5/start.

And Tampa Bay, of course, employs the "opening" pitcher for one inning, often. They have done it 50 times this year.

These announcers also pointed out that the Angels have 15 relievers on their active roster right now, second only to the Phillies.

[daygloman]

Sigh................................ Go Halos!

[eligrba]

Now is probably not a good time to talk with Trout about a lifetime contract. Just my opinion.

15 relievers might just get the Angels through the final 9 games.

It's late in the season, and most of them have worked a lot.
