As long as Rengifo is in there, that's all that matters. I don't care if he goes 0-4, with an error. lol

31-16 when he starts.

[Angel Oracle]

Just when we thought Rengifo was coming on, now just 1-21.

[daygloman]

Go Halos!

[Angel Oracle]

Former Halo Mike Mayers on the mound for KC

Being used in long innings role, averages 4 1/3 innings per outing, second start today

Yes, but the Angels are 5-1 during that stretch including 3 wins on the road in Texas.

I no longer question the Rengifo effect. I have absolutely no idea how it works, or why. Maybe he's the 2023 version of the Rally Monkey.

You know how you know that you have the worst record in baseball? When Mike Mayers is part of your rotation. I'm expecting every lefty hitter in the lineup to absolutely mash against him. We saw more than enough of it with him out of the pen over the years

I like Ohtani's chances of hitting a HR in this one

[gurn67]

Kansas City now has a worse record than Oakland. They've scored almost the same amount of runs. However, Oakland has given up almost 100 more runs. Yet, they have the better record.

Cmon Mike 

[Salty Shakas]

Let's go HALOS!

I miss the excitement of Mike Trout at-bats. I hope it returns. 

[rafibomb]

Rengifo really should have caught that ball

[Angel Oracle]

Trout in June:

6-50 (.120 BA)

1 XBH, 17 Ks

It's like when everyone used to wait to see the lineups posted to see if Mathis was in there. If he was, there'd be 4 pages of angry posts before the first pitch was thrown, including mine! lol 

Well, obviously Scioscia knew what he wanted from his starting catcher to give his team the best possible chance to win. He probably knows more about what a catcher needs to do to help his team win, than everybody on this board combined.

[Angelsjunky]

Trout's OPS is now at .808. Crazy that he's probably going to be below .800 soon. How low will he go?

I thought we had agreed Rengifo should only play second base.

[HeavenlyHalos]

It is certainly concerning and you can tell it's in his head during his plate appearances.

who else do you got

[Angel Oracle]

Good first inning for Canning, 3 Ks

[rafibomb]

Damn great job by Canning responding to that dropped out by Rengifo with 3 straight strikeouts.

[HeavenlyHalos]

In Trout's defense there, the exit velocity was 111.3

[HeavenlyHalos]

Drury!
