Either this ump is completely blind or he has some money riding on Texas.

Yes

Silver lining if we lose this game, the A's just lost to the Rays and the Mariners are losing to the Astros. 

Then that burns even more because we could have gained ground..

It burns less because we don't lose ground in the standings, hence the silver lining.

That’s a pretty small silver lining...

Isn't this the same ump that fucked us over in Houston? 

[Jason]

Texas doesn’t look all that good. I think this is just because Quintana is terrible

was it the Over 9 Era? or how bad he was/has been this season. 

[Vlad27Trout27]

Poor Barria just sitting in the Alternate site..Even tho he's had two years where his ERA was under 4 as a stater.

Yuck

Kulpa was the umpire who called the walk off HBP for the Mets earlier this year

AND yes he was umping the entire Angels @ Astros series

[eligrba]

It’s only April. Quintana can turn it around and be an important contributor to the Angels success.

[Vlad27Trout27]

So how long do you stay with Quintana? he's shown 0 command in his four starts and for a guys that doesn't have eltie stuff its bad.

Boy did I waste money on this road trip.

The Angels have 9 hits and only one run. That is not the umpires fault.

Who the hell is Nick Solak and why does he keep hitting homeruns?

He’s been a decent prospect.

If you watched the strike zone you’d feel like we are getting fucked.

I wrote it hoping it would change my outlook. It didn’t, he is garbage and the Angels would be smart to really evaluate him for an undiagnosed back injury.

[Jason]

Meh, better luck tomorrow

Based on the picture you posted, that wasn’t the only questionable decision.

If Ohtani, Trout, Rendon and Upton had a couple of real hits the Rangers would have felt fucked. But it's pretty easy for them to hold a lead when our MOTO has been shit all night. 

Quit whining about the umpire, he is just as bad for the Rangers as the Angels but they are hitting meatballs down the middle instead of staring at them. 

[nando714]

Houston jumping us tonight. Looks like we woke them up 

[sammyscioscia]

Lmao the Rangers pitchers have gotten more called strikes from balls than actual strikes, yeah that'll hurt your offense.

Quintana ain’t it...really hope he has a few more outings to showcase before we move to Sandoval...or someone else...

and how about we give Rendon a good two weeks to get into a rhythm before questioning his spot in the lineup? The guys’ track record says he’ll come around...

True, still tonight sucks (FOUR RISP stranded by Rendon).   That didn’t help matters any.
