Fresh conversation!

That's what happens when Angels don't get a runner past 1B.

At the end of the day this is all Arte Morenos fault. We had a chance at picking up Joc a few years ago. 

[Erstad Grit]

On Mother's Day I felt like this team always had a shot. Seems like forever ago.

What made Hamilton so bad even before he ever played a game for the Angels was they needed pitching desperately!!! Also, they easily could have resigned Torii to play a corner outfield position. He wanted to come back, and was told by the Angels that they didn't have the money. Torii plus ANY pitcher would have been >>>>>> Hamilton.

I'm not thinking purely length of contract or cost but rather players that annoy the fuck out of me on top of those things. That player is Rendon.

[Erstad Grit]

CMON top of the lineup rock this chump

[PattyD22]

Please work the count, Angel hitters.  Kimbrel is wild as fuck and a severe head case.  Make him throw strikes please

[T.G.]

Arguing about who sucks more is such an Angels fan thing

In 365 games he has only played in about half of them 

[Skankhunt42]

There's just too much suckage to ignore.

At least Puljos put up some inane numbers by year 3. But that's it. 

What insane numbers? year 3 he had a 1.6 War, after that it was drive down. 

Heck Rendon could potentially finish with a much better war in fewer games in year 3 than pujols.

Ward catching that Trout and Ohtani syndrome.

Cmon Trout. Looks at the FB  down the middle and swing at that?

[Vlad27Trout27]

Damn...1 hit...this offense sucks worst than the worst contact debate.

Sorry year 4, whatever 2015 was. That was a good season for him. 

[WeaverFever]

What was wrong with pitch number one Mike?

Trout worried about the umpire when he should have been running.

Sorry but I'm saying it. 

[angelsfan100]

Ouch 

[beatlesrule]

Strange series of events. Trout swings and breaks his bat and it hits the home plate umpire and he goes down and Trout for some reason is still at first base when he should definitely be at 2nd.

[HeavenlyHalos]

Oh shit man, that looked real dangerous..... also TRout should be at second and I feel like a real dickhead saying that

[daygloman]

Wow! That's some serious shit!

I hope the Ump is ok!

[angelsfan100]

Freedie Freeman looks like a Garden Gnome 

[AngelsLakersFan]

I could read his lips… the umpire said, “my eye” and then the trainer (I assume) said, “you mean from the bat, or just in general?”
