NY bribed by umps union?

That is one possibility. 

Another possibility is that it's a shitty, imperfect system.

I do sometimes wonder if NY is anti-Halos.   How many calls have they gotten wrong against the Halos?

Why would they be anti-Halos? We haven't been relevant in a decade. 

The umpires on the field sometimes make bad calls and the replay umpires in New York then do everything they possibly can to uphold the bad call. 

It's a shitty system. There is no conspiracy. 

The umpires in NYC are not doing everything they can to make the correct call. 

They are doing everything they can to uphold the call on the field. 

Do people really not understand that after all these years?

Shades of Pujols. 

I had far more confidence when Pujols was up in a clutch situation than I do with Trout. 

And that's really fucking depressing.

Mike "Casey at the bat" Trout

Casey swung the bat.

We were also expecting the young guys (Neto etc) to take a big step forward in development.

I was hoping for that, not expecting it. 

The one player from whom I truly expected a step forward was Sandoval. That has been a staggering disappointment. 

We might lose this game.

But not that.

He's this generation's Aybar. 

In terms of baseball IQ, yes. 

But I don't think anyone will ever do the occasional random-ass-weird-things-that-somehow-worked-out like Erick Aybar. 

Even his first name is weird. I miss that dude.

Youll be right about him the next two months, then wrong again, then right the final two months of the season.

At least his velocity is up today.

That's too much math for me. 

I don't believe I have ever been more wrong about an Angels pitcher than I have been with Canning. 

This is my favoriite Rendon moment of the last five years. 

For the love of God, bullpen, don't blow this.

what is EY doing??????

He knows Trout isn't clutch and probably would have struck out.

Just now, CaliAngel said:

Schanuel batting .130?

What the hell is he still doing in the lineup?

Wait.. where did this post go?

So the bullpen is, once again, a fucking problem.

Who could have seen this coming?

I was going to say 3 runs isn't bad if Detmers has a bounce back inning...but that 4th run...that kinda hurts.

Detmers is the one who doesn't suck ass. 

So weak

The Angels will not have a losing record again this season. 

I hope.

One run out of the bases loaded and no outs is very disappointing.

Not if that ends up being the winning run... 

6 minutes ago, HeavenlyHalos said:

So this is pretty much the same shit as last season. The Pitching walks too many guys, the hitters strike out a ton, and the defense sucks. Le sigh

Well, we probably don't have a unanimous AL MVP on the team this season, so it's not exactly the same...

Trout might not be done just yet... 

Nice pitching today, against a damn good offense. 

Have a closed-door meeting after every loss, please.

adell's 112 mph velocity just a crappy as a strikeout on 3-1 count

WTF?
