Game over!

15 game losing streak incoming

You are so dumb.

Giolito is garbage 

He has a 4 run lead and he's walking batters, fundamentally horrible pitching approach.

And you love to rag other posters.

So we are even.

At least I’m not dumb.

Folks still on board to sign Giolito in the off-season?

3 games for Giolito as an Angel. About to shit the bed for the 3rd time.

I guess the concept of venting is lost on you.

That could be interpreted as dumb.

[CaliAngel]

Moose's throws to first are more accurate are than anything that bitch RenDon't has ever thrown.

Sure. You go with that.

Why are there adults on this forum playing "my dad can beat up your dad"?

3 game sample size, brilliant. 

[bloodbrother]

Angels trade for Giolito, who had been a good mid rotation arm for the White Sox all year long, just to watch him throw up stinkers since joining the Angels

Dodgers trade for Lance Lynn, who was sporting an ERA well over 6 with the White Sox, and they get him throwing gems his first few outings since joining the team

Really is kinda funny how they seem to always get the most out of players while the Angels usually end up getting the worst out of players(with a few exceptions, at least)

 

Yeah I know, it's 2-3 game sample size and likely just noise. Really though, the Dodgers can't keep getting away with this

It's not looking good but we will see how he finishes the season.

Lowest in defensive runs saved this season but makes a spectacular play against the Halos, shocking...

I mean if Ohtani walks, they're gonna need some rotation reinforcements either way and I still think for the most part he's a good mid rotation guy to have.

They would need an ace, and that’s going to be pricey

They're not getting away with shit. If anything, as much as I hate to admit it, it shows the ineptitude of the Angels staff and the strength of theirs.

We're going on over half a decade now where they've not only dominated with what they have, but often improve with what they get in trade returns.

[Jason]

That's as close a play you will see 

[jsnpritchett]

Hmmm.  Not sure he was out, so glad they didn't challenge!
