In September we will start hearing how the Angels are wasting Adell's best years.

We've now got the Dollar Store version of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce.
 

Trout finally has protection hitting behind him. 

See this is exactly why we needed to address the infield depth. 

No better place to sign for a guy who doesn’t prioritize baseball. 

Let me add...
I try to find the humor in things.  There's lots to work with here.  The Angels are a target rich environment for humor.  I think poking fun at the state of things is more enjoyable than just out and out griping about it... but everyone is different.

What, imagining dad in Clockwork Orange?

We all know the organization is broken.  Most of us want Arte to sell. 
Personally, I don't need a bunch of reminders about how much the team sucks.  I see it.  We all see it.  I just don't obsess about it.  I don't even whine (much) about it. 
It's all out of our control and despite what people like mmc want, I am still going to watch because I like baseball. I'm just not consumed by it.  It's an option of things to do each day.  That's all.  It's a pastime. 
There are just bigger things to worry about or get angry about. 
I'm not happy that the team sucks, but again since it's out of my control - I don't think about it too much. And the last thing I want to do is sit around and complain about it with a bunch of other people. 
I get it.  Some people are outraged. They have a right to be.  That's just not me.  It's all about perspective.

Happy for Marsh.   Wish him the best, but not until Thursday of this week.

In the updated and fleshed out version of the article on the OC Register site, it says that there was a team meeting after the game.  An excerpt:
“The thing that was disheartening is to watch us just fall apart on the defensive side, fall apart on the offensive side, fall apart in the pitching department,” Washington said. “The three things that are necessary to be successful, we fell apart this weekend doing.”
Washington didn’t have to single out any of his players because it has been a group failure.
“I’m not going to throw any of my players under the bus, because I know how hard they work,” Washington said. “But I’m disappointed and I know they’re disappointed and we have to do better. We can do better and we will do better.”

When he makes a bad play, it's so bad that it really stands out.  Overall though, he's good enough to be out there.  He's never going to be great because he's really not all that coordinated as odd as that sounds.  Reminds me of Upton in a way where he'd just fly to a ball getting to places that others couldn't but when it came time to move his hands and arms in a way to catch the ball it looked like he just got them.  
The awkwardness is never going to fully go away.  But he's fine and this team should have it's focus on improving in way more spots.  He needs to play every.single.day for the rest of the year.  

yeah, but his baserunning is .050/.100/.100

The real draw was the Mandalorian Rally Monkey.
Lots of kids at the game last night.

It did happen at 10:08 PM

Hicks wasn't even running hard on that "bloop" hit.
Worthless 

There needs to be a players only meeting this afternoon. 

Last night sure helped the Twins' stats.

This is what you like to see, 3 innings completed in only 34 pitches.

Detmers has been fun to watch this year. 

Still early was the key statement. 

You were that friend. 

Is it common to have two .150 hitters in the 4th and 5th lineup spots?  Asking for a friend. 

Or Drury hitting 4th

So trying too hard is to blame.
