Upton is owed too much money to go anywhere but Goodwin may make declining Calhoun’s option an easier decision....

Upton has not been right since he returned from the IL.

You probably have to give him a pass this year.....and hope he comes back close to form next year....

Except for July he hasn't been so terrible.

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

The Oak Tree walks the potential winning run  with no outs.

Could you imagine anything more exciting than a walk off replay call overturn?

only if we win

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Trout is striking out a lot lately

[Angelsjunky]

This has to be one of the worst games of his career: 0-5, 3 Ks.

l agree

Trout's second game relative to his first is sort of like going on a weekend getaway with the girlfriend/wife; the first night is the most romantic, best sex you've had in months. The second night she has cramps and you end up spending it watching all three Bridget Jones movies.

[eligrba4ever]

Oh phooey!! More baseball in The Metroplex on Wednesday.

[nando714]

Oleeeee by Albert cost the halos the game 

[beatlesrule]

Higher draft pick.

[TroutField]

Leave it to Albert to ruin a solid day of baseball

I don't get it... so both nights are awesome?

[Stradling]

Albert had time to get in front of that ball. 

[Bronson]

Dude f****** retire you bum. You’re embarrassing yourself at this point.

Are you a wife?

Wow that was a terrible way to lose a game. Pujols looked like a rookie on that play.

[UndertheHalo]

Meh.  Wins don’t help us. 

[thebloob]

Pujols will hang his hat on his two hits. 

 

“Yep, I still got it...”

 

2 more years!!

[Rollinghard]

Albert please retire. We love you but you gotta go. You are a HOFer. Thank you for entertaining us. You could be a hero. Structure a plan where a charity benefits from you retiring. Let a kid have a chance.  

[Troll Daddy]

The Angels should retire Albert and ...

This Burke kid is not a bad prospect.

Tampa Bay minor league pitcher of the year in 2018.

6 IP, 5 hits, 2 ER.

Close enough.

He should send the Angels offense a thank-you note.

Why? If he isn't healthy he shouldn't be playing. If he is playing then he is healthy and shouldn't be given a pass.
