Bodybuilders use Nandrodone.

Nandrolone is commonly called deca and is probably the most widely used synthetic steroid in the bodybuilder community.

Fucken cheater.

Hopefully the A's go on a 10 game losing streak now.

Except it’s no way close to Albert, sorry. 

You have no idea if its true or not.

Nobody could have predicted Albert falling off a cliff as soon as he joined the Angels.

And Albert's second year hitting numbers were way better than Rendon's this years number and he was dealing with plantar issues all year too.

He was top ten in MVP last year and this year he’s injured. So he’s proved when healthy to be a very valuable player.  

Angels fans are barely recovering from the disaster of a contract for Pujols in the last 10 years.  In the beginning it was the same excuse of different injuries but eventually it just turned out that he sucked.  It may not be fair to compare Rendon to Pujols but the similar way of the beginning of their contract is starting is worrying lots of fans including me.  Hopefully he can bounce back next year but chances are his numbers will start declining soon and its just a matter of how much he is going to decline.  And eventually that contract is going to be another drag on the team for several years.

3 sharp line outs in the inning.

It's crazy to think that Ohtani has fixed his biggest weakness and turned it into his strength.

1 walk in his last 4 starts with 26 innings pitched.

Say what you will about @Jeff Fletcher The man knows his audience....

It's like he's trolling angelswin.

Ohtani since all star break

19 IP 19 SO 1 BB 0.68 WHIP 0.94 ERA

Jack Mayfield has 6 homers in 20 games since July 1st.

He is also hitting 105 wrc+ since then as well.

Rendon who?

What happened to the supposed Detmers uptick on his fastball?

He was sitting at mostly 92 on his fastball on his start.

If he remains at 92 to 93 on his fastball, I definitely see C-Rod as having higher ceiling.

Trade Rendon!

They would be better off if they could.

Great month of baseball to get us right back into the playoff picture!

Oops

A's hitters are swinging early it seems now.

He's at 77 pitches.

Is he coming back for 5th inning?

I love that three innings in the negative dudes are writing him off. 

Nobody is writing him off.

You are overreacting as usual.

Could be first major league game jitters or it could just be he needs more work but starting in second inning it wasn't looking good by the location of his pitches.

Too many pitches in the middle and high middle of the strikezone.

Where's his much admired change up?! Has he thrown any today??

He just need to locate his fastballs much better.

First homer was middle in fastball to one of the league leading homerun hitter, and second homer was a fastball right down the middle of the plate.

His fastballs are meatballs right down the middle.

That's not going to work against major league hitters.

His control seems to be off.

Detmers is throwing all his pitches high in the zone or right down the middle.

Detmers looking good so far and the offense finally waking up this series.

Let's keep it going.

Very nice at bat by Thaiss.

Without Ohtani they might not score the rest of the season.

What's the record for the longest innings without scoring a run?

Angels score at least 5 runs today or I will not post anything else this season

See you next season then.
