Well Ohtani, once again, bail us out. This lineup is absolute trash. 

Probably the weakest lineup they can roll out there right now. I guess maybe Velazquez for Fletcher but they are about even in their ineptitude as hitters.

It would be nice if either Renfroe or gigaChad Wallach were hitting 5th but Nevin has some obsession with Ward.

Taylor Ward is back to not looking very good and the guy gets 1 or 2 XBH per week MAX. Doesn't cut it high in the lineup.

Ward last 7 days - .240/.269/.280/.549

Ward last 14 days - .261/.286/.391/.677

Ward last 365 days - .255/.324/.404/.728

Do you like that last line from your everyday LFer? On a contender? Pretty MEH if you ask me. I think that's what Ward is.

Ward has been really bad with runners on all season as well. I keep hoping he turns back into early 2022 mode but that is looking less likely by the day. I still have some hope that he can find that approach again though. It's not like he has ever been as bad as Walsh was this season.

Not as bad as Walsh? That's not saying much though! That's like if someone said "I sucked it up and ate a dinner that sucked but at least it wasn't dogshit"

For sure dude. Someone else in this thread literally called this lineup "absolute trash" which obviously isn't true, but I'm the one bitching as I'm delving into some numbers showing Ward isn't very good?

For sure.

Go Halos!

[HeavenlyHalos]

Nice 1-2-3 inning from Shohei. Last time they faced Kopech, the Angels hit two home runs and scored 4 runs in the 1st inning. Here's hoping for a repeat

[HeavenlyHalos]

Ohtani is a baseball God!!!!

[Justin]

My God

[daygloman]

Good LAWD he tagged that motherfucker fiercely!

[eligrba4ever]

GO ANGELS!!!

SWEEP THE SOX1!!

さようなら野球
Sayōnara yakyū

[HeavenlyHalos]

Please please please re-sign Ohtani. Please?

[HeavenlyHalos]

Moooooooose

[HeavenlyHalos]

Renfroe has really struggled with RISP (.556 OPS in 86 PA entering tonight). Really need him to start turning it around as he keeps getting a lot of opportunities

[T.G.]

Of course...

[HeavenlyHalos]

Oh Rengifo

[AngelsFaninGA]

Terrible technique. Of course it's the dumbest player in the league

[drpiranha]

Toronto and Houston both lose.

Don’t re-sign him.

[T.G.]

Grandal is freakin' Johnny Bench

[HeavenlyHalos]

So instead of 1st and 2nd no outs, they run themselves into two outs nobody on. Lame

Edit: make that bases loaded, no outs

[Jason]

What the hell are these guys doing?

[AngelsFaninGA]

We have the dumbest team in the league by a mile. Pitcher can't even throw strikes and they're just wasting outs
