Feels like we never win day games at Angel stadium.

Adell with another hard hit ball

They said he’s not using it against guys that throw hard.

I trust Wash. Ultimately, the bases were loaded and the bums couldn’t come through. There is going to be some feel to Wash’s managing rather than a straight analytical approach. He’s building a culture.

He does that in every big moment. The pitch doesn’t have to be perfect, Mike. Just get a god damn hit.

Spare me the poor Trout bullshit. That was a pathetic at bat with the game on the line to stop a losing skid. Just staring at strikes.

Another quality start wasted.

This way more on the front office than it is on Wash. Hicks shouldnt be on the team.

Before the season, this would have been expected and no one knew what Rendon would contribute. Now that he stepped up at the leadoff spot when we clearly have no one useful to fill that role and is playing good defense, this hurts big time. Our only hope to compete this season is if Detmers/Anderson are actually the guys they have been in April. Canning settles in. Soriano takes another step and Sandoval is just an innings eater piece of garbage that labors through 5 innings. Oh and someone in our system needs to give the Bullpen a boost.

The combo of Adell, Moniak and Hicks is becoming bizarre.

Brutal loss, but historically, we lose 3/4 here. I like the direction. But the personal is clearly lacking. There had to be a better veteran than Hicks available. He is so bad.

What Perry has managed to do to this bullpen. What a disaster.

What a choke job

Love what Ward is doing but let’s cool it on calling him a success story for Dipoto & the org. Let’s finish a full season with above average production.

When I think Moniak, I think situational hitting.

Almost any hitting free agent would have done wonders for this lineup. Feels like it’s just a bat short. Same goes for the starters. A decent arm away.

Hicks looks so bad. Confused offensively and defensively. Him at DH is laughable.

Worst case scenario here.

It's at the expense of our young talent. Hicks is washed. Yankees knew it. Don't know why we are trying to save him.

Tough to get excited about Hicks at all. Hopefully, he shits the bed and becomes the bench player that he ultimately is. Adell looked fine yesterday. Hicks looked totally lost over the weekend.

lol hicks

Ok, time to move on from the hicks experiment.

I think you have to go what with what gives you the best chance to win this early in the season. They at least have to pretend to compete. Hicks/Sano might not be on the team in June. Adell and Moniak will get plenty of at bats.

Best bottom half of the order we've had in a long time.

Hopefully the expectations get to Baltimore and we steal the opener.
