Yeah, the injuries certainly didn’t help, but neither did the coaching staff. The team simply does not seem to make adjustments, especially the starting pitchers.

If Rick Wise and Phil Nevin are retained for another year, I’m going to have a hard look at how closely I continue to follow this team. 
 

Rick Wise is 77 years old now, but he'd probably still be a better option than Matt.

Houston is 35-15 against the Angels since the start of the 2021 season.

Not a misprint.

Yeah, sorry, MATT Wise. Tryna post on my phone while waiting for dinner.

Yeah, I posted a Blum tweet in which he said they're 90-45 against the Angels going all the way back to 2016.  Just utter dominance.

Just realized that if Seattle wins tonight, they'd actually be half a game up for the 3rd Wild Card spot.  Crazy.

This makes the Angels disappointing record since the trade deadline sting even worse.

Yep.  Seattle has won 8 in a row.

Really a stark contrast between one team that is playoff-caliber and another that isn't.

This is the Astros. Up by five they send the runner all the way from second base, like they really need those extra runs. And do it once again. 

lol, this is a joke right?

But keep in mind 4 of those 8 wins came against this Angels team.
