These are the losses that kill us every year. But I agree, another game tomorrow. I think it’s okay to expect us to win games we should’ve won though. 

I'm not sure we should ever expect to win when we only score 3 runs.

Rengifo hasn't played any 3B in the minors this year and hadn't played it with any regularity since around 2016 when he first started his professional career. He was apparently bad enough there that it warranted a move to 2B. None of this matters of course since the Angels manager treats this roster like it's little league and just plays guys wherever on any given day.

 

[Taylor]

Pretty bad imo. This team can't sustain any momentum because they lose stupid games like this.

That's true, but you have to remember that we've had some remarkable comeback wins lately that we probably didn't have any right to win.

Lou, you seem like a reasonable guy. Do you think we should have lost that game? 

Yes, Seattle is a better baseball team

The question is HTF are they 47-42 with a bad offense and only the 8th best ERA in the AL?

Bound to return to the mean based on those numbers?

Where’s the fucking pitching?

[tdawg87]

Last night sucked ass.

But we lost the first game against Boston, then took the next two.

Seattle is a solid team. This wasn't going to be a sweep.

As long as we don't get swept, things aren't terrible.

And now if they do it’s on you.

Correct.

So that 463 feet number for the Ohtani hr was bs, right?

(Apologize in advance if this is a craig)

Scott Servais on Ohtani’s HR:

 

Quote

He's got that kind of power, that kind of talent,'' Seattle manager Scott Servais said of Ohtani. "But at end of the day it's only worth one, and [Hangier's] was worth four. I liked [Haniger's] a little bit better even if it didn't go quite as far."

lol 

[Taylor]

Scott Servais is a tool.

how was yesterday's loss any different than what would be expected from this team?  We've been losing games in this fashion all year.  Poor defense.  Bad bullpen.  Questionable pen choices.  We're .500 ish and probably a bit lucky to be so.  The team is no different than they've been from the beginning if of the year.

Stop justifying losses, loser.

i thought it was further and farther.  And longer than 463 feet.

 

To be honest, i never saw it.  I am just going by those upper deck people ducking.

Yea I never saw the ball land. It seemed like it was VERY far.
