On an 0-2 count. Fucking unreal

Theme of the inning. Just horrible pitch locations in favorable counts for him.

whatever I guess we don't have anybody we can send out there to shut things down.

 

That’s a fact. The pen is utter garbage 

[nando714]

This is not a good baseball team

the sooner people realize the better 

[OregonLAA]

Same fucking team as it is every year. Madden should have protested the game after that BS call. This is unwatchable

[beatlesrule]

So far, Minasian's bullpen is not good. Maddon using the crap he's been given has not been good. Not fun.

0-2 pitch right down the middle.

I don’t usually bitch about the umpires but fuck they were awful tonight. 

[jonickell25]

Anaheim...where great relievers turn to shit the minute they arrive. 

[HeavenlyHalos]

What a horrible decade of shitty bullpen after shitty bullpen sans one season.

I don’t think he can protest a game on a judgement call.

Hopefully he has the stuff we saw in his first outing of the season 

Nope, he had the same stuff as every other outing. 

[Jay]

that kinda sucked actually.

[PattyD22]

We can say what we want about Maddon’s  bullpen management, but his reluctance to intentionally walk a guy like Correa, who kills Angel Pitching is utter bullshit.  You need to play for the double play, at all times.

Thats really stupid managing on his part.  Among many stupid decisions.

Almost as bad as the bullpen 

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

Until we spend money on fucking pitching we aren't going do shit. We can't keep trotting out these garbage ass pitchers and dumpster dives and hope to win. We need to spend money on some good bullpen arms (yes, our starters have been solid)...this is so fucking infuriating. It feels like its the same weakness every year. 

[Skankhunt42]

Should have put in a fat guy throwing 45mph. Worked to get the Angels out last week.

Worse.  

[eligrba4ever]

Oh, well. Goin' for a series split.

[Swiss Angel Fan]

We badly need Rendon back at 3B. Pretty sure he makes that play and throws Straw out

The call is the call. The ball was fair.

I agree. 

[Slegnaac]

Stupid umps can't be troubled to walk down the line and look at the damn chalk?

This league sucks.

I mean except it wasn’t in play.
