Would we be winning if Rengifo was playing?

Who knows, but the botched double play is the biggest play of the game so far.

[Revad]

Anyone know when Simmons is due back?

[Lou]

Ok, I'm here.

We can win now.

I do.

[Chuck]

Hopefully never! 

[Claude]

Remember when Upton was a beast at spring training. That lasted about a week.

[AngelsLakersFan]

Upton...

[GrittyVeterans]

Upton is just awful. He’s the new Vernon Wells

[Jason]

Upton is worthless

Did you watch the game last night? Dude is not a competent 1B. I love the guys bat and he’s actually pretty good against LHP’s but he’s a liability on defense. 

One game or one play does not determine that.

anyway, it is what it is until Simmons gets back. Rengifo probably needs to play 2B. I hope he hits a little..

[bloodbrother]

Well at least he didn't strike out I guess

Well, pretty sure he makes that play.  So, yes?

[Bronson]

Will Upton ever get another bass hit in career? It has come to that point where I question it

[GrittyVeterans]

It’s a shame the Angels can never get everyone in the offense clicking at once. The only constant is Trout

[Claude]

The inside of that ballpark looks really nice.

[Angel Oracle]

How long before Mr. .111 BA is DFA’d?

They ate Wells’ and Hamilton’s money, pretty much.

I said on the first page the Angels should be looking into eating a lot of that money in the off-season and people on here disagreed

Don't worry they'll ruin it when they move the fences in.

[Chuck]

I'm with you @RendZone... Justin Upton sucks!

He’s looked terrible since March 2019.

[Revad]

Gotta like Stassi

[AngelsLakersFan]

Bad night for the second base umpire

As bad as Wells was, his worst season in Anaheim, he hit .218 with an OPS+ of 84. 

Upton is now hitting .111. Coming into this game he had an OPS+ of.... 25
