That was a Melvin.

until he starts hitting, what is the difference?

He at least has an exceptional eye up there and can draw walks. Something Ohtani does not have.

[hen3ry]

is it just me or did the 2nd base ump start to signal "out" there?

 

[Revad]

Is it me or should you expect to win a game when you make three errors?

[Angel Oracle]

Upton is done!

Looks as bad as Alfonzo in 2006.

Ahhh yes.  The shea hillenbran/alfonzo year

[ScottT]

Doug Eddings sucks gigantic donkey balls

[Vlad27Trout27]

Two bad calls by the um, one to La stella and now this at bat with Fletcher, might be the difference.

[bloodbrother]

The offense would have scored some runs if the pen had given some up. That's how it works with this team

[HeavenlyHalos]

3-4 against Seattle and Texas. Ooof.

[NrM]

3 and half hours of a million pitching changes, replays and no action baseball... got to love it

gnight everyone

Classic Angels shit right there......

When the starting pitching is good the bullpen ruins it

When the starting pitching ruins it the bullpen is good

[bloodbrother]

It's cliche but it actually fits tonight. Angels quite literally gave this game away with that clownery in the 4th inning. And the beat goes on with this squad. The mighty 2 game winning streak continues to elude them

We viewed this week against Seattle and Texas as a chance to right the ship. Maybe that’s how other fanbases view the Angels now. So depressing.

Screw that.  If ohtani, Rendon, and Upton don't hit and we have 3 errors we can't blame umpires.  We suck ass

This loss is on Tommy Boy. He has 51 more days as an Angel. Buh Bye. 

I think he has value as a PH. Any NL team would kill for him.  Too many bad plays to start

[Claude]

Sandoval goes tomorrow. Should be good.

[Duren, Duren]

Time for a trade. The team is slipping into a dysfunctional group of individuals who can't play in sync as a unit. And no sign of progress from most of the key position players.

The chemistry is just not working on offense or in the field.  But little leverage with a bunch of big names and contracts and little production.

Another week and it will be near the one third mark of the season. Roughly equal to about the 50 game point in a normal year. 

A shakeup is needed. 

 

[Bronson]

Ditch La Stella and give Simmons the extension he deserves. Maybe this game will be an eye opener for some of you on how important defense actually is. We have plenty of offense. Simmons is a below average hitter. Oh well. Not every person in the lineup is gonna be a banger.

Still mind bottling to me that it takes Major League Baseball so long to overturn a clearly out call.
