Good grief ESPN, they asked Trout about Brandon Walsh?

That's because ESPN sucks

Does Suarez always work this slowly?  Never really noticed until tonight.

I don't know that I'd go that far, but I definitely have concerns.  Realistically speaking, though, he's going to be the Angels 1B for the foreseeable future.  There's no one in the minors who could step in and I don't really want them to go after a free agent 1B and pay top dollar.  Walsh is still cheap from a salary standpoint.

I agree, and I wonder if his injury earlier in the year may factor in as well.

I was hoping the Angels would have an offensive outburst since Quantrill is on my fantasy team but even that trick doesn't work with this team. Sigh

Suarez gone after 4 sub-par innings.  Warren in.

Warren continues to look pretty solid.  Hope he can keep that up.  I'd like to see him get into some high-leverage situations (if any of those ever exist again this season...).

[Angel Oracle]

They sleepwalked through this entire series!

Shameful!!!

Right and 17 SB in 1923 with 13 & 21 CS

[TheLordofOuts]

Warren is becoming the white Iglesias

[AngelsFaninGA]

At least Warren looks good ahead of his upcoming back injury

Belongs in the pen.

True, but think draft order.  I don’t root for them to lose, ever, but under current circumstances I try to see the silver lining.  There’s Baltimore for three and seven with Texas, and 23 games against pretty good teams…

[Revad]

And those pretty good teams are all in sight of the playoffs…

[jsnpritchett]

Stassi now 6 for his last 45 with 23 K.

[jsnpritchett]

Quantrill is just mowing them down.

[tdawg87]

The offense literally just decided "nah" this weekend.

Yeah but he hit that one HR to win what has turned out to be a totally meaningless game

Yep.  Walsh and Iglesias are about to drop into the .250s for batting average, Stassi and Ohtani into the .260s, and Adell is back below .200.

They've been working hard and need some time off
