Maddon only let Petricka throw 3 pitches in a 6-run game

More Angel hares beaten by last place tortoises.

[Angel Oracle]

Think of the many possible headlines if they go say 8-24 the rest of the season.

“Halos lose, but move up a draft pick.”

”Halos no-hit by scrub.”

”Maddon found being too inebriated and stoned as Halos move up another draft pick.”

Orioles must feel like they're on top of the world.

Hey he was economical.

Four runs on three pitches

You guys wanted new pitchers in the bullpen.

Enjoy.

When the guy in charge of making that pick is the same guy who put together this bullpen, does it matter at all? 

I don't hate the team. I'm not angry. I just no longer care.

There has never been a moment  - since I attended my first Angels game at the ago of 7 (they were playing the Orioles that day, too) - when I have cared less about the Angels than I do right now. 

All I care about is the farm and rookies the rest of the season.

I guess Elvis has left the building

So, imagine if the Angels cut all the players AW wanted cut and then brought up minor leaguers who failed miserably... What then?  Not asking you, specifically.

I feel like there is a good Kobe joke in there somewhere

Cy Akin will be telling his grandchildren about this game. By far the best of his career.

What the hell happened to us this year?! Geez...

 

[Angelsjunky]

Last I checked the score it was 1-0. This team is embarrassing - about to lose a series to a team coming off a 20-game losing streak.

We need a day off.

Like Ohtani.

[daygloman]

Have a great day people!

[DMVol]

Seems like the pitching staff will need a lot of retooling this off season….

Don't you dare put that kind of pressure on me.

Need to keep him fresh so he can give up another 4 runs in our next game

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

at least Quintana won't be starter tomorrow

[Jay]

Shit I forgot this game was on.

Nice cricket reference, Lou 

[beatlesrule]

I had no idea the game was on this early. Why was Barria lifted after only 54 pitches? Ohtani hit a home run so that's good news at least.
