So, still don’t see how things are any different.

The more things change the more they remain the same.

The Angels have gone 0-4 in the last 4 games that they've scored 7, or more, runs.

The answer is obvious, then. We need to cut down on offensive production.

Still don't see any difference?

[Angel Oracle]

Still not seeing anything different.

This is an under .500 at the end of season team waiting to happen.

What is going to change from 2016-2022????

Forget contending, at least finish over .500 for a freaking change!!!!!

The talent has changed. As Doc has said it’s a good team playing bad versus a bad team playing bad.

Too many blown leads already this season says otherwise though.

It doesn’t. 

[Farmbuildingfan]

You won't, at least not for many years

After 56 years, I only expect lots of losses and injuries.

I don't believe in curses,  but I  pretend the team is cursed  while watching them since their historic misfortune will then make psuedo sense and keep me sane.

I’m sorry but bad luck is an excuse for this team’s inability to execute and their overall poor play.

A "good team playing bad" for 30 games is not a good team.

A good collection of players playing average happens a lot over 30 games.

But comes after 7 bad seasons.

Can you blame anyone for feeling like Bill Murray in Groundhog Day?

[DMVol]

30 games in, I think they’re an average team playing like an average team….

I don’t blame you, no. But in my opinion this team has little to do with last year much less any year prior to that.

Trout being able to hit home runs when they don't matter. That hasn't changed. When's the last time he hit one when the game was on the line? Anyway, he'll always be the greatest Angel ever, and a first ballot Hall of Famer.

Man you know the team is running bad when Trout hits 2 HR and still catches a little hell.

I love how you made Strad blow a gasket.

So far we are 9-3 against the A's, Nationals and Royals who are a combined 21-61. And 3-10 against the rest. 

Definitely disappointing and not really surprising. Obviously still early.
