Oakland lost. 

 

 

[jshep]

Our progress towards a protected draft pick was uninhibited

[Tyler]

Looking at pitching matchups the rest of the series.... we're gonna get swept.

[Angel Oracle]

What jshep said.

[Jason]

Why are we looking at the teams above us? They aren't catching up to anyone.

[nando714]

We cant beat the teams we're supposed to beat to dig ourselves out. We just dig ourselves deeper

[fan_since79]

Coello has not allowed a run in 5.1 innings now, with 9 strikeouts. He hasn't walked a batter, either.

[SmallSampleSize]

We have to jump over half the teams in the free world for a wild card spot even.

 

Wait.

 

We still have a shot at the wild card. 

 

 

(I know, positive first)

[AZMike]

Why are we looking at the teams above us? They aren't catching up to anyone.

 

We probably aren't being caught by anyone below us either. Astros and Marlins are both 11-31 -- on pace for 119 losses -- and both those teams will probably sell off a few of their best players for prospects at the deadline. 

[Troll Daddy]

Astros had the day off

[thevisiontm]

The Angels are 8.5 games out of the WildCard currently which is Boston & Balt.  Angels would have to jump CLE, DET, KC, Tampa, Seattle, Minn, Oakland, Chisox, and Toronto or as SmallSample said half the teams in the Free World.  Angels are not close to sniffing WC.

[Willy J.]

Enright and Lowe are no longer on our roster.

 

Enjoy Little Rock fellas; you earned it.

[Jay]

the bullpen has really improved.

[stevestevens]

Scioscia did not over stretch Jerome.
