That was on purpose. Slower runner now on first.

*Slower runner now on third.

a little worried about Anderson being 94/95, when he was 97-99 last year.

He also had trouble throwing strikes.  Maybe this is a deliberate thing.

what's going on with Simmons - dude's been fidgeting on the field and at the plate.

Does it ever end well when you keep a guy in for a fresh inning after he just got out of a high leverage situation?

I don’t know man.  That 2016 team was extremely bad. 

We have had some bad teams in our history an I doubt 2016 is in the bottom 5.  This team does look worse than any I have watched.  However its early.  We can turn it around and be suprised or they can get worse and set a whole new standard of shitiness 

[Lhalo]

Nice pitching by Buttrey

 

[Taylor]

I really like what I'm seeing from Butt.

Name someone who would have been better.

I never said they were good. 

Than La Stella as our freaking starting second baseman? Cmon man this isn't hard just look at the other team, Tim Beckham would have been a way better acquisition. Josh Harrison got 2 million this past offseason. Clearly him. Hell Derek Dietrich got a minor league deal and would have been way better than La Stella.  You really want me to do this for every disastrous Eppler choice to be a starting baseball player on this team? He's royally screwed up at least six of them in 3 years. I have a six hour flight in a few days, I will get you a list. 

Bour I actually thought was a good get but of course in true Angels fashion he's started horrendously.  Who was the last free agent we brought in that actually didn't have a horrendous offensive start? I guess Ohtani. 

 

[Taylor]

It's time for Trout to end his homerless streak.

[IheartLA]

If Bour keeps playing like this Pujols will be at 1st base when Ohtani comes back.

This man approves

[Lou]

Josh Harrison is batting .091 

[Taylor]

Trout is 0-for-0 tonight.

[UndertheHalo]

Bour is making me look like an asshole and honestly I don’t appreciate it.
