Can we just lose? We deserve to lose lmao

So do the Giants

[Duren, Duren]

A lot of good Angel pitching wasted so far. They need the win badly.

[eligrba4ever]

The Giants are 11 games better than the Angels. So why can't they dent the Angels pitching so far?

Nobody's pissed. We just think you're making idiotic statements.

Really not that idiotic. We have no idea what’s going on in Rendons mind. It’s just an idiotic statement because you refuse to believe it could be a possibility.

[Angels Fan Forever]

That inning is on Ward. 
Weak. 
Squaring up and taking strike 1. Little League shit. And then hitting into a DP. 
SMH. 

[eligrba]

If Suzuki gets hurt, is Ward or Fletcher catching?

And you don't see the hypocrisy in that statement.

He's had the same demeanor his entire career, so you're saying he's never cared. 

That, and he didn't like playing for Washington.

They didn’t waste two 2nd and no outs innings.

Ward has suddenly become a zero at the plate the past 3 games.

WTF did Stassi swing at two out of strike zone pitches?

These are nothing but a bunch of swing happy hitters.

Wave the white flag now.

Yeah I’m throwing out all kinds of different ideas and there are some real close minded people on here that don’t even think it can be a possibility.

 

So no I don’t see the hypocrisy. 

[PattyD22]

And the short bench rears it’s head

Yes, they did.

[bloodbrother]

Taylor Ward at catcher!

[eligrba4ever]

Ward becomes the catcher. Canning in left.

[eligrba]

[failos]

Maddon is such a piss poor manager

I’m making the argument it seems even more lackadaisical now. Mixed with his play this year I don’t think it’s out of the realm of possibility he’s not happy with his current situation.

[rafibomb]

Canning in left field let's go!!!

[bloodbrother]

Canning in LF. Now the game is hilarious

[Revad]

No this is when Ward does ok and AW decides he’s the catcher of the future.

[Duren, Duren]

2019 seems like an outlier now. And expectations are lowered for Rendon. Possibly an Angel career roughly like Pujols for his first few years. Adequate to good, but not close to his career best.

Hey Joe... maybe use Bundy here instead....
