Were you once the pitching coach for the South Georgia Peanuts?

Apparently somebody needs a refresher.
 

 

[Angel Oracle]

Is there any MLB offense as bad as this one?

Someone please tell Ohtani to stop bailing out!  .118 BA!!!!

Cheaters pitching is solid.

BUT, it ain’t 10 runs in 4 games GOOD!

The funny thing is most here probably picked the Astros to win the division, but are outraged when the Angels lose 3 of 4.

I don't think anyone had predicted a .500 point difference in winning percentage.

Ok this is silly. I mean I guess it’s not silly if you believe this will be the winning percentage at the end of the year.  If you believe the Angels will be a .250 team and the Astros will be a .750 team then ok, but if not then it’s a pretty dumb sample size opinion. It’s not like after 4 games the Astros could be one game better.

It's not just that the Angels got beat by a better team. It's that all of these games seemed winnable but the Angels missed several chances to get out on top.

A lot of it was due to anemic offense, but things would’ve played out much differently if Maddon didn’t pull his starters so soon. I’m not really understanding the logic behind over utilizing the BP so soon when the team has 6 young starters.

Heck, we could’ve been swept from his choices in game 3.

I'm glad you didn't leave us, buddy.

Thanks mang. Didn’t know people here liked me that much. But a bunch of folks PMed/emailed me to come back, and I missed everyone—even @cals.

[Angel Oracle]

Believe me Failos, there will be plenty of chances to post in this thread.

Other than better starting pitching, not much has truly changed from the past 6 years.

This was just my over the top way of pointing out that the results skewed heavily in Houston’s favor. If someone expects the Astros to finish a few games ahead of the Angels you’d still expect the Angels to look better head to head.

[Angel Oracle]

Ohtani/Rendon/Adell/Fletcher are a combined 7-60 with 1 HR, 3 rbis, 2 BBs, NINETEEN Ks.

That’s .117/.145/.200/.345.

At least Adell finally did something last night.
