Last game of a series and a travel day. My hopes are minimal.

[fan_since79]

Trout, Pujols, and Cron will rake.

10-4 Angels.

GO HALOS!!! Go Tyler Skaggs!!!

Go get a win and go at least 6!!

Go Trout, Albert, CJ, and the rest. Skaggs can't win a perfect game if it's 0-0.

So, if it's 4-0 KC going into the 9th...don't turn the channel?

[AngelsLakersFan]

Not sure I'm liking Revere in the #2 spot.

[Glen]

Two outs and our pitcher is falling apart.

[eligrba4ever]

So  Albert was hitting .188 over the past four games. So he starts today with a soft ground out to third. He's building on it.

[Angels#1Fan]

Cron got robbed!

Nice play by Cain.

[Jason]

 Is it too much to ask for the pitchers to just get through innings quickly so they can go deeper into the game? 

[Blarg]

Yes. 

[Jason]

Kennedy looks really good today

[Waybackman]

Skaggs and the third inning. Sounds like the title of a horror film.

[Angels#1Fan]

Angel offense doing their best to speed the game along.

[Ochocinco!]

Angels are god awful against the Royals it's actually hilarious 

[Angels#1Fan]

Too bad Skaggs can't get any support today.

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

They need to quit platooning Cron, he needs to play everyday. Whose great idea was it anyway?

[JustATroutFan]

Cron should play more often. Had a nice season in 2016. Still streaky but a lot of good hitters are streaky. Surprisingly, does not hit well agaisn't lefties though.

[daygloman]

Go Halos!

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

The last 3 innings is the Skaggs I've waiting to see for 2 years. This outing from Skaggs and the good outing from  Shoemaker and the the game Richards was throwing before he nerve whatever injury gives me something to keep my hope alive.

Now if only the offense would wake up.

[jchalos89]

Sad to see this offense :/ 1 run scored against Karns yesterday, and can't touch Ian Kennedy today. 

This offense makes opposing pitchers all look like Kershaw

2-3 days ago they led the AL in runs scored

[eligrba4ever]

Skaggs and Shoe have exposed the Angels offense the past two days as the real culprits this past week.

Yeah probably after 2nd comeback victory on Tuesday. Since then, they are scoring 9 runs in 5 games, which is 1.8 runs per game.

Like 3 of our regular starters are batting around or below Mendoza line (including #4 hitter) and guys that started the season red hot are coming back to earth. Our offense just looks like the one we saw last year 

[jchalos89]

Go Kole. Hit it out of the park!
