Now that Walsh has arrived, and along with signing Rendon our IF has to be one of the best in baseball

1.  Best player in baseball.   Trout

2.  2 MVP candidates.  Trout and Renden

3.  Best infield in baseball

4. 3 starting pitchers with <4.0 era

How the hell is does this team have the 5th worst record in baseball?

Pujols needs to take his steroids that he took when he was with the Cardinals again. #McGwire

I choose to forget about this season as just another miserable event in the nightmare which is 2020.

I'm good at selective memory. Looking forward to the best offseason ever and Spring 2021!

[Angels in 2030]

2021 MLB draft guy says - good job last two nights Angels!

[daygloman]

They fucked up letting Calhoun go. 

It is, what it is...

 

Go Halos!

Arte loves his big names, but couldn’t care less about the supporting players.

Also, crappy defense and bullpen

Lah-Dee-Dah! Lah-Dee-Dah!

Traipsing to the finish in rose-colored glasses.

10 straight wins can bring a .500 finish at 30-30.

Sometimes I think you must be a bot.

A bot would have better math skills.

Pretty sad when the Marlins are 6.5 games better than the Halos

Yikes.

[Duren, Duren]

Frustrating being on the losing end back to back to a team struggling even more. On paper this team should be much better. 

This was probably the last televised Angel game of the season in my area. TSN and Sportsnet only pick up a few ESPN or team broadcasts when they need to fill in late start scheduling At least it's a relief from those unending, uninteresting, self referential anecdotes from whoever is doing the ESPN games. Really, who cares? 

Still have Sirius radio team broadcasts, which somehow disguise the ugliness of some of the action. What you hear isn't as bad as what you see in some of those games.

I am reluctant to blame Arte too much.  He did increase the budget and brout the Agels 5 division championships in 6 years.

one of worst bullpen in baseball. Starting rotation still is meh at best.

[Angel Oracle]

Still trying to get my thoughts around how the worst NL offense can score 18 runs and hit 7 HRs in two games.

No one’s pitching should be that bad.

We had a "meh" starting rotation in 2020.  

Bullpen is dead on.  Poor Defense is another big issue.
