Advanced numbers say he is a much better 1st than a OFer.

It's in limited playing time but his range numbers show it is below average.

I just feel his arm is a waste at first base. 

It's much easier finding a power hitting 1B (aka Carlos Santana or Jesus Aguilar type) via FA or a trade than a RF with power and a strong throwing arm. 

Right fielders like that cost a fortune via FA or a trade.

Albert has more hits tonight than Trout, Walsh and Upton combined.

Fortunately they will get the opportunity to catch up.

I will say it again, the Angels will not make the playoffs if Pujols plays more than half of the games for the year.  He hurts the team on offense, defense, and baserunning.  I bet he kicks kittens after games.

Blame the shitty manager

I'd at least have made Glasnow throw the curveball for strikes

This is a close game, but it's been a pretty rough watch.

Where are the Angels grooming Adell to play then? Does he take over LF in 2023 after Upton leaves? If he isn't ready until 2023, something went wrong unless he comes up earlier and is the 4th OF.

Fletch’s old school shtick was fun when he was hitting .300 and cute at .280, but at .260 it just sucks. It must be similar to how a woman feels dating a micropenis guy.

Does cals wife post here?

[Angelsjunky]

I’d like to see Trout steal a base.

[AngelsLakersFan]

Might be time to consider an Ohtani/Trout/Rendon/Walsh/Upton top of the order.

No. Not here at least. 

Two-run shot ties the game.

Good time for him to match Pujols in SB for sure

Faggy sidearmers are the best

Of course......as soon as he found his swing

[AngelsLakersFan]

Ahh man, that doesn't look good.

Dear God, please no!
