    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?

    68 wins is generous ! They aren't very good and they have a 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 😉

    After, they come home for 9 games against three teams, two of which are legitimate World Series contenders. And the third was a preseason consensus favorite to win their division. Then they go back on the road to face the team with the best record in the AL.

    This is going to get ugly quick…

    At the 1/8th point 4 games below .500 turns into 32 games below at this pace. 

    Obviously there will be hot spells and winning streaks and the numbers should be better. But even this early they already need a hot streak just to even their record. Let alone to actually compete for first place or a wild card. 

    It’s actually worse than you suggest.

    A really good team, one that wins in the mid-90s, averages 1 game over .500 per week of the season. That means, if they lose today, the Angels would theoretically need A WHOLE MONTH to get back to .500. And that’d only be if they were a really good team, which we know they most certainly are not.

    Hopefully home games will reverse at least some of this early trend.

    I’d love to be as optimistic as you but I simply can’t. So I’ll just remind you the Halos are 2-4 at home so far this season playing mid-range clubs like Boston and Tampa.

    If/when the Angels get swept out of Cincy today, they’ll be 9-13.
