Phillies will clean our clocks.

Tough schedule ahead in September outside of some games against the A's.

Now I'm glad I never bought it or set my alarm for this game lol

[DMVol]

Surprised they scored 2 runs with that lineup…not much of a chance to win with that 1-9, excepting Ohtani…

I just did the same.  I got it for free for over a year, but had to start paying a few months back.  It rarely has anything I want to watch, so I'm out now.

[Waybackman]

When Ohtani doesn’t get a hit they don’t have a chance.

Lopez has been good but didn’t have it today. Oh well it happens. 

That is Lopez 6th blown save this year to go with 6 saves. Estevez has 28 saves and 2 blown saves. Those that tried to anoint Lopez as the closer over Estevez are out of their minds.

Canning had a great outing.

That and Luis Rengifo continues to establish himself as one of the best leadoff men in the AL. 

Rengifo: .344/.400/.594 .994 OPS hitting leadoff. 

I wonder once Schanuel is back what they do there? Rengifo clearly blows in comparison at other spots in the lineup compared to leadoff. 

Could the Angels go with this lineup going forward?

SS Rengifo

1B Schanuel

DH Ohtani

2B Drury

3B Moustakas

C O'Hoppe

Ehh.  Blown saves for middle relievers aren't all that relevant, though.  They're more likely to blow a save due to when they come in the game (point being, they sometimes get credited with a "blown save" even though there's no chance they would have remained in the game to get an ACTUAL save, anyway).  It's a weird quirk of the scoring rules.

As far as I can tell, this is only the second "blown save" that he's had this year that was in a true save situation.

Yeah, that's probably what I'd do for the top 3 for the rest of the season.  Just let it ride like that and see what happens.

Sorry...Actually this wasn't a save situation, either.

Good point.  Ha ha.

[Angel Oracle]

Great job by Canning!

Rengifo continues to rake in the lead off spot.

But, WTF Moore and Lopez????

Moore with his first mini-slump stretch this year 

Still, Meatloaf’s song applies to this weekend.

Put this game aside and if you want to watch some good baseball being played, go watch El Segundo LL play for the title.

Exceptional baseball skills

Does this mean there's not another Angels game on Peacock the rest of the season?

Correct. 

[gurn67]

If Grichuk keeps hitting .144 it is. He's put up much worse offensive numbers in an Angels' uniform than Flether, Stefanic, Escobar and Velazquez have this year.

 Grichuk and Cron really have no business being on the team in September. I'd say the same thing for Renfroe. Cut all three of them and let them get picked up by another team in contention. 

Just let Cabbage play RF and Adams play LF and platoon with Mickey Moniak once Trout is back ...if he comes back.

Adams sucked defensively in his first stint with the Angels but everyone I talked to says he's an above average outfielder defensively with good range. I say see what you got in your own guys, not dudes that won't be around next year.
