Would be nice if he turned into a nice Jack of all trades type player.   He's playing for a guy that would give him a lot of opportunities if he can perform.

How is Taylor Ward on the Angels let alone in the major leagues? He's 26 and is a horrible hitter.

What is this sorcery?  An Angel pitcher throwing strikes and attacking the zone????

Two days in a row.

Erik Manaea is fun to watch pitch.

[Justin]

Way to make Manaea work

From yesterday:

 

Up until yesterday (since he’s looked really bad all week) I doubt I’ve said many if any negative things about Upton. God knows you have nothing better to do so good look. I’m curious

But

[Vlad27Trout27]

26 pitches thru 3 innings. maybe our guys can be a little more patience and actually look opposite field?

Nope, you and I have always agreed on Upton.  I am obviously more patient than most on here, so as of now I will need more than a few games to decide if Upton is in a funk or if he is done.  My guess is a funk.

[tdawg87]

The offense gets off to a cold start every. Single. Year. 

[Stradling]

I like the pace of this game.

Haven't seen his bio, but I'm guessing CJ Wilson was not a big influence.

Fucking Scioscia.

Yes.

200 at bats in 2 years probably isn’t a big enough sample size.

The best player in several generations surrounded by extreme mediocrity. Except for Fletcher maybe.

Please Rendon, get well fast!

He’s always be a favorite non Angels player of mine and I was thrilled when we traded for him and then signed him. But yeah, he gets into these funks but he’s looked bad guessing a few times this week. Worse than usual when it comes to his cold streaks. At some point I still expect him to come around but I’m actually a little concerned about him for the first time
