I know it’s early in the year.
For me, it’s like being Bill Murrayed in Groundhog Day.
But instead of I Got You Babe playing every day at 5am, it’s Angels baseball every year since 2016.
Gets frustrating and leads to the past two games pile ons on here.

DFA loup and Tepera, I’ve seen enough. They are not going to contribute, they are just going to continue to lose games we have no way of making up later in the year when we are scratching for a playoff spot. 
 
nice that the offense hits 3 homers and then calls it a day. Turn the page…

Yep somehow an off-season was going to make Loup and Tepera good relievers that’s we can trust LOL 

They sucked last year yet they keep the idiots instead of getting rid of them.

Well it was 6-0 last time I checked, figured we could cruise to a nice Sunday victory and another series win. Not a single damn reliever you can turn to.how the hell did the bullpen get this grossly ignored again? This team never ever learns

A lot of the older people on this board were abused by Dodger fans in their youth.
Also the Dodgers are associated with Los Angeles, which is dirty, liberal and full of minorities.

100% spot on, Doc. Yes, outside of Trout and Ohtani, the rest of that lineup needs to contribute more than just warm bodies. That said, the pen was handed a two-run lead and again they failed. That simply is not good enough.
 

12 hits.  1 hit.  3 hits.  no hits.  doesn't matter
They had a two run lead.   Who cares if it's 12-10 or 3-1.  They've had a 2 run lead or less 4 times handing the game off to the pen and they've failed twice.  
when the offense has an off night, it's all that much more important for the pen to hold a lead and take advantage of those opportunities.  
Holding leads 50% of the time in high leverage situations is gonna make for a long and frustrating April.  And I mention April in that I'm hopeful of changes by the end of the month if it isn't working.  

I had this illusion that we would hit the ground running until Walsh had a headache and couldn't sleep, Rendon got in that stupid tangle with the fan, and the blowpen got into the games.
Same old Angels weirdness. Every year it's something.

Who's going to replace his .166 OPS?

I’d rather listen to Chris Russo fuck my sister than hear 5 minutes of Roger Lodge on the radio. 

.667 baby!!

?? that's not right.  

What would happen if I called the halo honk line and called Roger Lodge a retard? Would I get arrested?

If they lose tonight, they are on track to go 81-81.

Really no reason to care much about their record these first 50ish games at least(last season was a good example)....as long as they don't just completely suck of course. Stay at or above .500 while figuring out roles and what kind of team you have/what will need to be addressed to optimize their potential during the latter half of the year
Just hoping they get through these first few months with relatively good health
 

I’m well aware what it was referring to, I mean I was literally just stating that it wasn’t the same hat which seemed to be implied in your post, no ill will intended. I guess some people just look for conflict and seek it out on message boards for entertainment because their lives are so pathetic. 

He assualted a fan, c’mon . 5 games was fair 

Oh go fuck yourself. I will post whatever the fuck I want to and some pissant cheerleading troll isn't going to dictate shit on this board.
You understand?
Good.

Go pound sand, Dylan Hernandez!
Or is that Shilling Hernandez?

Nice opposite field power from Adams. 

Keeping Loup, and Tepera, out of close games greatly increases this team's chances of winning. Good starting pitching will hopefully make that possible.

Can we DFA Loup and Tepera after one game… or is it too soon? 

Real story was the bats went to sleep like they always do starting on opening day
Pound the ball all spring and then ......
