Sandoval leaves pissed at himself but he pitched well today. Unfortunately, we only have three players hitting above .200 in the lineup.

Good starting pitching.

Mediocre bullpen.

Non-existent offense.

4th place.

Not sure.

@Chuckster70?

Apparently not

[AngelsLakersFan]

There should be a stat for 'batter pitch framing'

Fletcher really sold strike 3 as ball 4 there.

[Erstad Grit]

Oh Fletch I love you

[AngelsLakersFan]

Also I would just walk Trout here.

It’s becoming pretty obvious Maddon has no magic dust for this offense....maybe my take will get them going...

Good luck getting him to listen.  

I spoke to a Japanese baseball writer last season who was the same guy that was assigned to Matsui when he played here. Gaku Tashiro of Sankei sports newspaper told me that many Japanese fan sites in Japan are saying that the Angels have mishandled Ohtani. He didn’t get into details but that’s what he said.

He said this is a drug free clubhouse.

Oh ok bro.

You get the feeling that's the game with Trout looking at strike three.

Allard and This Terrible Rangers Bullpen is about to shut us down.............

 

 

 

 

 

...... And I dont even care ..... anyone else feeling the same?

[tdawg87]

I just talked to Jujo Tanasaki and he told me everything Claude just said was "Burrshit".

I'm just glad I don't have COVID. Not much else is important right now.

 

[HeavenlyHalos]

This team sucks. 

[CanadianHalo]

Sup?

[Slegnaac]

Maybe Trout needs to hit behind Rendon.  It helped Torri the last season he was with the team.

Not even a bad game by the Angels. Just an all-time pitching performance.

I agree. Once the smoke clears and the dust settles Allard’s name will be mentioned in the same breath as some of the greats

[AngelsLakersFan]

Nice to see us burning one of our only decent relievers here in this lost cause.

100% agreed. With everything  2020 has thrown at us theres not much to be happy about.
