Angels

KC

2/10 on the troll attempt

That's where I stand. It the Angels are going to lose... it would be A LOT easier to swallow losing to KC.

Great trolling by Grilli though

Save it with the integrity crap.  If one of the starters has an injury and misses the postseason this board will go in meltdown mode.

Now Thatcher is in so it's going to be a 5-4 game at least.
This pen is definitely concerning me right now. The team's biggest strength has been complete trash for over a week now.

Are they sure it's not anxiety/mentally related?

Doesn't throw strikes. Doesn't miss bats. Yeah, that's gonna work

It's all about being consistent with your strike calls.
 
If you think the MLBUA isn't looking at these charts, you're crazy. 

Trout raised his OPS from .927 to .945 after those 3 hits.

The Angels have gained 15 games on the A's since August 10.

I know Trout went and all but would he stop pointing at umpires to confirm it? Pretty annoying

So what are you saying? Trout isn't really deserving this year because last year a few MVP candidates had better years?

A-Rod 2003: 151 wRC+
Trout 2014: 161 wRC+
A-Rod only had two seasons where he had a wRC+ of 161 or higher (2005 and 2007)
When are people going to realize that offense is much, much harder to come by nowadays?

He also plays at U.S. Cellular Field.Trout plays 100 games at Angel Stadium (81) + the 19-20 at Safeco and the Coliseum. That's also about 40 games against Seattle and Oakland's pitching.
Abreu is better offensively than Trout at the moment, but the difference isn't huge.

Please don't bring back Freese next year, Jerry

Lol @ that attempted catch

Yep, Wilson is running into bad luck by playing a team pumped by getting a new manager.
That must be it.

I don't think you looked at it correctly.

Roth is not major league quality in any way. Scary as **** that the Angels are supposedly going to be relying on this guy the rest of the season.

The Angels gained 5 ½ games on the A's from August 13 to 21. Took only a week.
Things can change fast.
