Suski !!  Great Stop

What this does do is it reminds me of how volatile bullpens are.  In 2019, Robles and Buttrey seemed like a fantastic duo that we could count on for awhile.  Fast forward 2 years later, and one was terrible and non-tendered, and the other has walked away from the game instead of opting to work on his craft when he got demoted.
Be careful with relievers when it comes to considering long-term deals, IMO.

Hey the new guy looked good.
 

Tough to watch.  Hopefully there is something they can take into the season.
 

Iggy looks good !!! Wow
 

I love that type of play.   Taking the extra base and being in position to score on a single.
 

I think the Plan/goal with Rodriguez maybe similar to how Sale and Richards got into the Rotation. 
Both guys cam up thru the Bullpen, Sale spend 2 years and Richards was up and down in the Bullpen, and than finally broke into the rotation. 
For Rodriguez its a little difficult with his back injury, but that may be the goal. If his body can hold the work load and he dominating in long strings he might move into the Rotation. 
He's probably going to be our 2 inning guy. 

I hope the Dodgers lose 120 games. Easy with the hard ons fellas! 
Here's hoping a season worth of blue balls for all Dodgers fans.  Cheers!

In a game like this pertaining to the pitching staff.... Some words come to mind....BACK UP THE TRUCK !!!

Man I'm on board to bring Simmons back if they can't work out a 2-3 year deal, then go all in for Bauer or sign two of Stroman & Tanaka (maybe he'll come out west to be closer to home and have a Japanese teammate in Ohtani). Then sign Liam Hendriks to close. 
Upton and Simmons are hitting really well, if they can fix Ohtani at the plate and get his arm right. This team could be scary good. 

Look, throw out the stats and just use the eye test...  Send Adell to Long Beach, play Ward everyday in RF and let Walsh continue to improve... Dude hasn't started to walk yet which he's always done so yes, he can improve.
Those guys give the Angels their best chance to win and while Adell may be the future, these guys look ready now and the team invested years developing them too.

Honestly I was afraid this would be one of those "MadBum has a 7 ERA but is going to regain his form against us" type of game, but the Angels are coming back!

Holy Cow!   I was about to turn this game off a little while ago.   A Pleasant Surprise !!

Happy Birthday Pop!
Go Halos!

In a full season we are in the hunt for a wild card. 

This team will be good next year if this actually address the pitching in the offseason. 

Cry Home Safely !!!

Cry Home Safely !!!

So you wanna take Kumar to White Castle. 🤣

Cry Home Safely !!!

Tell me about it.

Its rough being an Angel Fan. 

If they could somehow have Ohtani learn to play 1B and focus on playing every day, then Upton could move to DH for good once Marsh is ready to play every day up here.
Then move Adell to LF.

Then that would be a good defensive and offensive lineup, provided they re-signed Simba and brought back Castro.
Fletcher 2B
Trout CF
Rendon 3B
Ohtani 1B
Upton DH
Adell LF
Marsh RF
Stassi/Castro C
Simba SS
 

What a great great great thing to see.     Seeing the Astros go down  4 games in a row !!!   🍾  😁
