Yeah, Trout is slumping, Ohtani is sucking, the pitching staff blows and Joe Maddon looks like he should have stayed in his peace & love bus. 

Something need to turnaround soon. 2020 completely sucks ass! 

Rendon is getting hot though. And Fletcher is still awesome. And that’s about it.

Rendon looks like he’s playing through a sprained wrist.

He’ll get hot for about a week when we’re 22 games out.

Doesn't Upton get hot around late June after about 70 games?

[robblin17]

Pujols guesses on every pitch. He will run into some, but the guy is done.

Yes it was Gubi. 

[Angel Oracle]

Against horrible Giants bullpen: nothing

QUITTERS!!!!!!!!

[fan_since79]

Whatever you want to say about Mauch, he certainly would have read these clowns the riot act. Instead, we have easygoing, player-friendly Maddon whose attitude seems to be well, everything will be fine.

The called him the brain.

Angels on the hook for over $50M next season on 2 guys who are currently combining for nearly -1 WAR total. That is honestly impressive

I was hoping for kittens

Will Upton whiff, pop up, or hit a weak ground ball? 

Only suspense remaining to us fans.

Pop up and someone will call it progress.

I hope all the fanning done by Angels hitters tonight is not making it more difficult for all those crews on the Bay Area brush fires.

[Claude]

Did you see the exit velocity on that ground ball. 

[bloodbrother]

Upton leading the Angels to a top 3 pick

[daygloman]

That game was a drag!

 

Go Halos!

Upton .078 for those keeping score.

Is Melvin about to break a record for the worst hitting stretch in history? Has he already? This is unbelievable. 

The best thing he could do for the team and organization is opt out this season. 

[eligrba4ever]

Oh well. The Angels remain stuck on 8 Ws. The get L number 17.

25 down, 35 to play. 23-12 can get the Angels to 31-29.
