Going into the weekend, the average hitter going up against Houston’s pitchers had posted a .370 wOBA. For reference, Ryan Braun has a .374 wOBA this year, while Robinson Cano is at .368. That’s the kind of production that hitters have had against Houston’s pitching staff.

The Angels put up a .270 wOBA against the Astros this weekend. For that same reference, Brian Dozier has a .269 wOBA this year, while Pete Kozma is at .276. The Angels offense spent the weekend hitting like a backup shortstop against a bunch of pitchers who belong in Triple-A.

Sadly, the fact that they actually managed to hit like a backup shortstop against the Astros pitching staff is actually better than I thought they did.

So is it official that they suck now?

Meh, I'm quite sure we can shatter the rock bottom and end up on a bottom of 30 feet of steel

So does this mean Dozier will be signed for 5/75 this offseason?

I sure hope so. I take Dozier/Kozma over Pujols/Hamilton without hesitation. Pujols and Hamilton are so bad I'll actually take Dozier/Kozma over Trout/Pujols/Hamilton too.

Just wait until we have to face of string of over-.500 teams. This could be a brutal summer.

FanGraphs validation!

But seriously this team can't possibly get any lower than being swept by the worst team in the past decade.
