I take back every fucking stupid thing I said. 

This is the same fucking team as always. It will NEVER fucking change.

Fuck them all. I'm done.

Peace.

I'm getting flashback at blown leads in the 2013 season.  This is how many like me are.

Brandon Marsh, Luis Rengifo are both legit real bright spots for the Angels.  Not discussed enough imo. 

[Angel Oracle]

The last two losses are clearly on Maddon’s bullpen management.

Yes.  Plus Ward looks like a star and Velazquez has locked down SS.

I just posted in the bullpen thread asking the opposite.  

Is it really?  I mean I don't agree with him most of the time but why aren't the players performing?  

I could be totally off base but these guys they've spent millions on just aren't performing.  Tepera and Loup are supposed to be Joe's rocks.  His late inning high leverage guys.  He went into the season thinking this and now he's tasked with reallocating everyone's pen roles?  I just don't think he's gonna do that.  And I've said all along that I think Tepera is just another guy and Loup had the great year but before that he was just ok.  

I guess I was hopeful that they signed these guys because they figured something out.  But in reality, it's just more of the same and expected reliever volatility.

I've been wondering if Tepera's struggles are related to the crackdown on sticky substances. It could explain the lack of control and spin on his slider

With this bullpen, they should put Adell back on the field.  His lack of defense makes no difference with this bullpen.

maybe.  he did well last year though and the crack down happened before that.  Just not sure he's all that good.

I miss when the most demoralizing part of the season was getting swept by the Rangers.
