That is how many games the Angels are out of a WC spot and totally not the length of my penis. 

Discuss.

[Brandon]

the angels or the length of your penis?

Whats the units of measurement? 

[Glen]

Nautical miles.

Good things happen when you don't wallow in self-pity and just play the game. Anyone. Anywhere. Anytime. Bring it

Fuck it, just play.

I honestly can't believe how well they're holding up and that they're still in the hunt. When Trout went down i thought this team was through. Hope they can keep this up.

Trout didn't get hurt, he simply got a really gnarly tan.

Skaggs

Heaney

Tropeano

Stunning just damn stunning

[arch stanton]

So you don't believe Shoe or the staff when they say this is something he deals with every year?

I sure have my doubts. This team is an injury looking to happen

After seeing what we've seen health wise with this team, can you blame anyone for thinking the worst?   It may not come to pass, but we are gilded by it.

But

[zenmaster]

It's mainly our young guys getting injured. Looks like we need to sign more aging former all starts if we want to stay healthy.

Relative power index -- they look at the strength of schedule, the Pythag, comp it to everyone else and try to normalize the team's performance to that of the rest of the league.   So based on how they have performed relative to the rest of baseball, the injury depleted Angels have been the tenth best team in MLB.  

Truthfully, I don't really put a lot of weight into it, there are better more advanced metrics out there..  But, given how much people have been yapping about the Angels playing a weak schedule and being in a weak division, I figured it's worth bringing them up.   The AL West BTW isn't close to the weakest division in MLB.   The AL Central, the NL Central, the NL East...  All worse.   

Looking at the NL East....  The Nationals W/L record might be a tad misleading.

Still too early to be concern on where a team is in the Wild Card standings. Because we all know that one bad losing streak can ruin everything. Like a bad month can keep a team out of the postseason picture. Like the Angels' performance in August of 2015.
