That's a fair point. 

[Slegnaac]

Sadly, games like this make me regret making plans to attend games in the future, this season.

Angels pitchers lead the league in walks, dead last in the majors in ERA, and worst defense in baseball.

Major revamping desperately needed!

You can’t just fix that

How about in the 7th when we're up and make Rodriguez the closer when he's back? 

[daygloman]

This team.....................

LOL!

Go Halos!

I think it was Confucius.  Or maybe Winnie the Pooh.

Continue using him in no save situations...

Since there aren't many actual save situations (a lot of the recent blown saves have been happening in the 6th-8th innings)...

It certainly wasn't Joe Maddon.

Jesus, Bundy is 0-5 6+ era? Good thing we didn’t offer that extension

not that it's been all that fun to watch so far this year, I feel like that robbed hr just took every last ounce of hope out of this season for me.  

In a way, the robbed home run was a blessing Doc.  Imagine if the Angels would have tied the game with that blast, then having to watch Iglesias give up 2 home runs in the top of the 9th? 
 

Almost too unbearable in one night of baseball.

[tdawg87]

Magical.

[Make Angels Great Again]

The A's may as well just start teabagging home plate.

But...but... FIP and xERA!

[eligrba4ever]

Headin' for the last roundup down by 4. Feels just like a Halos game.

 

[Skankhunt42]

Rojas didn't retire to be with his family, he retired because he knew what we all were about to witness. 

[fan_since79]

Leadoff walk. Some faint hope.

Ha. Just looked at it. Looking forward to the We Want Bama! cheers.

We're playing LSU. That should be lovely.

[Make Angels Great Again]

I'm surprised Gubi hasn't shot himself having to commentate the entirety of each game for the last 14 years or whatever.

You're still watching?

Angels drifting closer to the Tigers for worst run differential in MLB.  Tigers are at -55 after today's game.  Angels are at -47, pending the outcome of the 9th inning.
