Get your rally caps on.

Unless you're @tdawg87. In his case, we just need him to put on some pants.

Horrible called strike 3.

[T.G.]

At least Fulmer is eating innings 

[T.G.]

Good work today by Fulmer

[Angelsjunky]

Just checking the score now. I guess the Canning breakout season hasn't happened yet.

[HeavenlyHalos]

This ballpark is such a joke. 

[CaliAngel]

Really really making it hard to be a fan of Neto right now.

[HeavenlyHalos]

Netzero GIDP to end the game. Have to win this series tomorrow against a pretty meh lineup without Devers and possibly O'Neill.

[eligrba4ever]

Well, that went on to its inevitable end. 

REGROUP SUNDAY!!!! BEAT BOSTON!!!

[Swordsman78]

Halos at 100% health, playing a slate of mostly Tier 3-6 teams and are 7-7.   Is this as good as it's going to get?

I think so. I don't see this as anything more than a 75 win team. 

Maybe they'll surprise me. But it's gotten old at this point so I'm not hoping for anything.

[Ochocinco!]

Can we just DFA Suarez, make canning our long man and call up Wantz to see what he can do. Nothing to lose at this point

I get hives whenever he pitches this season…is that considered a “breakout”?

Realistically, this should have been everyone’s expectations going into the season.

But they swept the Marlins!!!

Luckily, I had other things going on so had to miss this one. Only real positives out of this one is that Ward continues to mash and Rendon is still hitting (finally got the BA above the Mendoza line). Also, why is O'Hoppe still batting 8th? Is this some old school lineup thing where you just slot your catcher in at 8 or what?

According to the broadcast, Washington thinks he has a lot to focus on (catching wise) and doesn't want to put too much pressure on him.

Yes, though we all hope for more and the Angels have teased a bit more this year so far.

Being 7-7 is just fine with me, though. I'd say they're more likely to go over .500 than below, but I'd guess they'll hover close and go up and down. But it isn't impossible that this team gels, and they win 85.

[Mark68]

I think I'm leaning toward the Griffin Cannot camp.

[Angels 1961]

Curious to see lineup on Sunday. Nice outing by Fulmer.

Also, I love getting an email from Spectrum telling me there's an outage, but not to worry, I can just watch on the Spectrum app! Only problem is you have to be connected to home wifi to watch Bally Sports West on the app, annnnd... the internet is out, so I can't. I hate Spectrum. 

Reminds me of the early days of email at work.  I called the IT guy to let him know that I couldn't access my email on the PC.  He told me to send him and email with the details and he would work on it later.
