Gameday Thread (7/2): Angels @ Astros - Sandoval starts

[bloodbrother]

Angels really didn't need to fly all the way out to Houston just to perform like this.

I want to see Maldonado hit a third home run.

This aged well

Kole Calhoun went yard, then dialed 9, and then crushed a home run today against the Mets. 

[eligrba]

Aaron Loop doing Aaron Loop. Fuck off Perry.

Souvenirs flying out of the stadium like a Matt Harvey pitched game.

I really love Trout, but I also really hate the idea that we can't blame him for anything. 

Is it his fault this team sucks? Absolutely fucking not. 

Was he part of the problem when we lost 14 straight games? Yes.

True. Mostly meant that I empathize with him.

What happened to Trout? This isn’t normal.

[tdawg87]

As I was saying.

[Docwaukee]

It's pretty amazing what has happened to this team.  They go 24-13 and then after today's loss they'll be 13-30 in their last 43.  I just don't understand what happened.   It's not like everyone was playing out over their skis for that first couple months.  But literally almost ever single player has fallen apart since then.

Four strikeouts today on 13 total pitches.

Something's wrong.

The Universe was like "wait, this isn't right" and simply corrected itself.

It's a curse man. We pissed off something at some point.

Something’s definitely wrong. It’s just weird how he keeps looking at strike 3. I wonder if he’s tuning out.

If he's "tuning out" then he can go fuck himself.

[Angelsjunky]

I stopped paying attention after the 1st inning (3-0) checked in and it is 9-1.

OK, I'm calling it: This team is REALLY done for this year.

My friends ask me this all the time @Docwaukee.  I simply shake my head and say “I have no freaking clue.”

There is no answer besides the ones you and @Angelsjunkyhave given prior.

And @tdawg87also.  His are more straight to the point

That losing streak obviously got into their heads and it’s hard to play well and relaxed when trying to come back from something like that. I think we all knew the season was over after that streak.

Can’t disagree with you there. He just looks like he doesn’t care. Hard to imagine a competitor like Trout would just give up, though.

It's like the Twilight Zone episode where the three astronauts disappear one by one. They didn't 'belong' in the world.
