Kid probably thinks he can do whatever he wants since he got to skip the minors.

[CaliAngel]

Trout just waiting for a mistake...

[jsnpritchett]

Trout now 7 for his last 43.

[samwum]

This team is so bad they couldn't even break .500 during the short Taylor Ward MVP stretch of the season.

Hate to say it fellas but the Angels are regressing into Tier 6 

It boggles my mind that this comes as a surprise to anyone. The Angels won 73 games last year. Then they lost their best player and did nothing to replace him. How can anyone expect this to be anything but a 68 win team?

[CaliAngel]

Sano is not the answer.

I think Arte is just using this year as the Perry shame tour for failing so miserably to make the playoffs with Ohtani.

Meh.

He's seeing the ball well.

Well the thing with Sano is that he could be an All-Star and he would still not be the answer, since he is on a 1yr deal. There is literally zero upside to letting him try to recover his career here.

Yeah, like I said yesterday, I'm glad he's not K'ing half the time like he was in spring training.  Hopefully hits will start falling for him.  Still, sucks to not see good results lately.

68 wins is generous ! They aren't very good and they have a schedule of death !

[eligrba4ever]

Looking ahead for the next 9 home games the Angels face 6 games against tough Orioles and Phillies and 3 against Minnehaha, which has been playing at the Halos' own level of frustration.

Forget the situation, forget the count. Neto needs to go up to the plate looking for his pitch, and that is all. 

Right now. Neto and Hicks couldn't get a hit if the catcher told them what pitch was coming.

Every team plays every other team, so what do you mean by schedule of death?

Despite the fact that I'm a lifetime Halos fan, I am an optimist at heart.

I consider it a triumph of the human spirit

Trade value, dumbass.

I will be surprised if the Angels win more than 2 games the rest of this month.

With 8 games left in the month against Baltimore, Minnesota, and Philly, this is very possible.

[eligrba4ever]

Well, Matty V notes the Angels have lost 7 straight to the Redlegs. Today could be No. 8  imminently.

My wife made me nachos to watch the game. Self banning is dumb.

[eligrba4ever]

Swept away down the Ohio River.

Time for lunch.

[daygloman]

Well, it probably won't get better tomorrow, but Go Halos anyway!

[Swordsman78]

At least we don't have to play the Reds anymore this week
