How pissed off is Moreno?

Why would he be pissed? He is used to losing.

We needed a lockdown bullpen.  Haven't had one since 2008.

I’d take average

Can you imagine what Darin Erstad would have to say to this blowpen?

The Dodgers are playing terrible but the are absolutely going to rape the Angels this weekend. Zero foreplay and zero lube. 

Betts owns Angels pitching so he's hitting a minimum of 4 HR this weekend

I think I've seen enough.

Yup.

Since there's no mercy rule, there should be a surrender rule - I mean, I can't imagine any of those guys wanting to be on the field right now.

And while the team may not be able to quite, I  can - it's Netflix time

It's his fault!!! He doesn't want to go over the tax threshold. We needed pitching. We needed a right fielder and a decent catcher. We went bargain hunting. This team is different with Bauer or Cole...or even Zach Wheeler.

So pissed off that he'll sign another hitter to a 200m contract

It's the same shit every year. If it's not the starter, it's the bullpen. Bottom line...it's the pitching no matter how you slice it. 3-0 lead..Can't lose it. If Mayers is sucking...pull his ass. He has no problems pulling starters early. Pull their sorry asses. Same shit, different year.

Lead in the 7th should be a win 90% of the time.  Is there a website were we could look up blown saves?

[jonickell25]

It literally doesn't matter who the gm is. They are handicapped by Moreno unless a stud offensive player is available. Pitching? Forget it. Chick's dig the long ball...and losing apparently. One year bottom of the bin signings. Awesome.

Getting read for a Trout K.

Maybe because he fired two managers and a general manager.  Agreed to DFA one of his HOF players.  All probably hoping that things would improve for his team.  Watched the BP absolutely torch the starting pitchers best effort of 2021.

I have to think he isn't just indifferent.

Every year the pitching is like Mr. Burns on the Pin Pal bowling team.  You know they're gonna screw up and there's nothing you can do about it.

angelsbaseball.com has all the blown saves you can handle. 

[bloodbrother]

I'd be upset but this kind of baseball has become the standard for the Angels for years so it all just sort of blends together into a bunch of nothingness. I feel nothing. Angels baseball is essentially empty calories

Then open up the pocketbook for pitching. Simple as that.

Bros before...

Can we get those heckler kids from yesterday to yell at Minasian to get some fucking pitching?? 

[Adam]

Imagine having the best player in the world in any sport for a decade and having an 0-3 postseason record in that timeframe. Lol

Nice job Trout.

Way to lead the team.

[beatlesrule]

How in the world does Trout not think that's a strike?

[IheartLA]
