I think some folks are premature in assuming Rengifo will be heading back to the Land of Zion soon. He's getting ABs so the Angels can make an informed decision about whether he's going to stick around awhile. If he contributes the right kind of chemistry (offense), he just might stay. 

Auditioning him for a trade?

I miss the whiny bitches

Good luck in Mexico... don't drink the water

3 games out. Here's a gif of Vladdy Jr. finding out he's being promoted

This team needs some character and energy. It's pretty bland outside of Robles.

It’s either feast or famine with these guys. Every series is a good chance if there being a sweep. The only question is if the Angels get swept or do the sweeping.

The sweep is nice, and being 3 games back of the Astros is very good.  Win on Saturday and a rain out on Sunday, then Otani comes back.  Then Heany.  Then Upton.  Season not over.

Ya I think it’s great and should absolutely be encouraged.  It’s fun.  Big fan of the dude with the horse mask also.

As horrible as this team has played at times, it's incredible that they're only 3 games out. Seattle finally started to play like expected. The A's proving that last year was one of those years where everything during the regular season that could go right, did. Biggest surprise in the division thus far, after Seattle's ridiculous start, is that Houston isn't at least 5 games up right now.

the fact that he takes it seriously makes it so dumb it's dumb.

H.R. Pufnstuff, 
Who's your friend when things get rough? 
H.R. Pufnstuff 
Can't do a little cause he can't do enough.

Bour should come out to the Addams Family theme to get back to his roots when he played Pugsly as a boy.

Alden Gonzales.

I'll leave it at that.

Facing Baltimore and KC could give them a shot at a better than .500 road trip.

[Angel Oracle]

Toronto, you were just tombstoned in that 9th inning.

Rest In Peace!

Luke Bard’s WHIP is now below 1.00, at 0.95.

His last 7 games: 9.2 IP, 6 H, 2 BB, 15 K, 2.84 ERA, 0.83 WHIP

The Blue Jay's came in hot just fresh off a sweep of the A's with their top prospect and all of that hype in tow, only to have the Angels crush all of their hopes and dreams.

Rengifo deserves regular playing time in the majors but unfortunately he will probably be sent down once Cozart is healthy

Fletcher also deserves regular playing time and he isnt getting now with Cozart in the IL.

Tyler Skaggs, outside of his game against the Cubs where hew tweaked his ankle...

22 IP, 17 hits, 8 walks, 17 strikeout, 2.05 ERA. Granted, the Blue Jays, Rangers, Athletics, and Royals aren't exactly top-tier talent, but it's encouraging.
