Why? He's been shit since the middle of last year.

Considering the pitching matchup, this was likely the game they'd drop during this series. Win tomorrow with Ohtani on the mound and enjoy the first homestand coming up

Exactly. Most of us saw this as a loss. Not beat down like this, but a loss. Win tomorrow we're all feeling great.

We'll, the 1927 Yankees got blown out one time by Detroit, 14-4. It happens, even to the best.

Have you seen the traffic on the 57?

Good point.  Plus Brea is practically Whittier.  Gross.

Meh. I watched him. ERA is meaningless. Things were trending poorly. Scott seemingly used him less and less as he looked less reliable. K:BB ratio worse, HR/9 up, WHIP up, SO9 down ..... if there is anyone out of the bullpen who will suddenly suck this year it'll be him. 

[Stradling]

Fletcher may not make it through the season. He’s going to get the Paul DeJong treatment. 

[CaliAngel]

I want to be a Fletcher fan but his at bats remind me way too much of the Angels past, and we really need to move away from that. It's really difficult to watch. 

[daygloman]

Gad............... What an ass kicking!

Tomorrow's another day!

Go Halos!

[Angels 1961]

Philips got in game and saving hat for game on Wednesday.

lol OK

You're citing his whip going from .70 to .84 as he sucked? 

He was one of their best relievers last year and I'm glad he's probably unavailable tomorrow. 

[Angels 1961]

New winning streak starts tomorrow. Come home 4 and 2, plus Loup gets extra day of rest.

Still had a sub 0.90 WHIP in the second half.

He’s not owed that much through 2025.

At least Velasquez gives value on defense.

Let's see if the Halos can win the first Gubi Tuesday of the season.... LOL!

I still don’t know what a Gubi Tuesday is.

Seriously me too.

Is it supposed to be a pun allusion to the bad restaurant Ruby Tuesday?

If so why?

Yep, would prefer Velazquez over Fletcher at this point. 

Neither is going to hit all that much but Velazquez has superior range/ glove and more speed.

Getting tired of Fletcher popping up pitch after pitch.   Is he a Vernon Wells fan?

Agree, he's not done much the last couple years.

No one knows.  She comes and goes.

Still, I'm gonna miss you.
