Gameday 5/15 Angels @ Twins (Walsh debut)

[IIIII]

44 hits and only 15 runs. Not gonna get it done with this staff.

[Vlad27Trout27]

this is one series that i am really disappointed in, felt like we could have got ourselves a sweep or taken 2 our of 3. Last game  it was mental error and this game it was Cahill. 

[Angel Oracle]

Shohei, stranding half of the free world in one game is no way to go through life, son! 

[T.G.]

5-6 road trip... meh.

[mulwin444]

3-9 in one run games so far this year.  They are losing a lot of close ones.

MLB record?

[totdprods]

Minnesota had the best record in baseball a few days ago, right?

We played them well.

No.  12 is the record by Ryan Zimmerman

F*ck this series was so debilitating. 

Yep. Should have swept instead lost 2 of 3.

Just not a good baseball team. Period.

Although that's very true - it's still incredibly disappointing to lose two games that were definitely winnable.

Yep. I'm not pissed about it, in fact as I mentioned a few times in this thread, I'm encouraged. 

If we can only get the starting pitching tightened up and Mike Trout can get right, I feel like we're going to go on a nice winning streak.

Angels have been terrible with RISP for years now.

That’s because RBIs are irrelevant in todays game

We played them well but the series showed us what we already new. We have the bats to compete, we have the bullpen, we don't have the starting pitching.  Starting pitching went 14.1 innings (if you count our long reliever who the org doesn't trust to see the top of order three times).  That stinks. 

 

[DMVol]

This team is going nowhere fast with its starting pitching as is....no easy fix for it....

Call me a negative Nancy but to me there is absolutely nothing encouraging about losing a series you should have swept.

The Twins played like shit. We played worse.

As our manager said, we play just good enough to lose.

Baseball is a game of IF's, hell even Mike Trout is proving he's not a sure thing. 

One game a time baby! But I'm seeing some encouraging signs.

Some see the glass half full, some half empty. 

[eligrba4ever]

One would think the Angels could have done a bit more than 7 runs on their 18 hits.
