That was an awesome game until Upton came up.

After that game I told my wife season over. First time I said that all season. 

Same. I knew that was the end right there.

Jesus Facking Christ...all of you blaming this on Upton...

Trout struck out with runners on in the 9th. He couldn't even put the ball in play...

The offense scored seven runs. Yet they still lost...

Quit acting like Upton is the problem on this team...

It's the pitching, pure and simple.

Although the catching is doing us no favors.

Oh yeah, you're right...I shouldn't at all blame the .233 hitter batting 4th who never comes through with runners on base

 

My bad

[Halokingfish]

Absolutely pathetic way to start the most important homestand of the year. SMH

He’s a hugh problem and will continue to be unfortunately.

How did he cause the team to lose this game? Because he popped up for the third out in the 9th? Whose fault is it that he needed to bat in the 9th?

It would be nice if he would Facking contribute once in a while. Trout had 2 rbi, how many did Upton have?

I mean.  They scored 7 runs.  That’s enough to win.  This is completely on the pitching.  I mean FFs.  They act like 5 innings is some miracle.  They’ve over exhausted the pen.  Everything is completely on the starting pitching.  Everything.

Just wait until the final 27 games of the season.

Boston, Oakland, Cleveland, Tampa Bay, New York, and Houston make up 24 of those. 

[Duren, Duren]

Seven runs and a loss. Eight runs and a loss the other night. Against a bottom feeding team at home after a big high against the Dodgers. 

It is what It is. Which is primarily starting pitching.

The Angels are pathetic, worst in the league with innings per starter. Doesn't that make the problem evident? 

All the angst over specific at bats by certain players wouldn't be necessary as much if the pitching didn't make it necessary to score a ton of runs every game.

The entire staff is being decimated by being forced into high pressure situations game after game. Relievers standing by, waiting to warm up early, the chain reaction of using multiple pitchers every game, starters expecting the hook and rarely surviving half a game. 

Improve the starters and the ripple effect will help everywhere. And batters won't be forced to bear all the responsibility.

Funny how his ineptitude was a topic earlier today..ironic. 

so you wanna lay this all on Upton?

if so, that's an impressive amount of stubbornness on your part.

As good as Fletcher is, is as bad as Thaiss is...

Although it would cost him regular at bats, time to call up Rojas to take Thaiss’ spot?

It’s just one game, but last night showed that Thaiss is not ready in either phase of the game yet.   That and the low OPS so far for the Halos

If it makes you feel any better, I ate and drank enough for the both of us.

You're welcome
