I was not impressed with this Boston team at all. Seems like a lot of players over achieving.

Same. I see them possibly going .500 the rest of the way but we’ll see. That still might be enough for them to sneak into the playoffs though. They’ve really put themselves in a good spot

[Chuck]

We just beat the team with the  best record in baseball two out of three, lost barely by a run, despite not having Trout, Upton or Rendon.

Pretty good imo.  Finally a series where they hung in with a team that’s not terrible.  Maybe something they can keep rolling with to put together a nice win streak.  This series with Seattle seems like a relatively good opportunity to make that happen.  Would suck to take a step back here and lose the series against them.

Light up the Halo!

Be buyers or sellers. Don’t just sit on your hands please!

Pretty impressive what they’re doing with the roster they have and talent on the IL.

The Angels will be bellers.

Getting through this series the way we did, it’s encouraging.  But let’s see if we handle Seattle the road.

just for today and tomorrow; I'm a Yankee fan

After today there's no reason for the Rengifo outfield experiment to continue. I'm giving Goose a pass for now because of what he has contributed at the plate.

Rengifo hasn’t done squat since 2019.....and he was mediocre then....

[Lou]

Since the beginning of 2020, Rengifo's OPS+ is 29 points higher than mine.

That is a proverbial one hand tied behind their back series win.

We should’ve won the first one, but still, amazing stuff by the Halos!

Give it a rest already.

Definitely the most satisfying series win of the season for me, especially after that game one. Could easily have swept them

Absolutely. After the loss, i was thinking: " F*ck, here we go again. Why can't we beat these sh*theads?"

Great turnaround.

[Stradling]

Since we only beat bad teams that must mean the Red Sox are a bad team.  That makes me happy.

Damn I wish I watched this game…F’n work

I said a few times that the angels are overall better than the Red Sox.  Also predict 90 wins.  Most haven’t been believing me.  Thanks to the schedulers 6 in a row against a bad seattle team.  Lots of easy wins over the next month with Detroit and Baltimore again.  Will be in the thick of the wild card race by mid august.

Maybe, but Seattle has had just about the same strength of schedule as the Angels and have a better record.  So the next 6 games, all against the Mariners won’t be easy.
