Way to go team. Back to .500 for the 20th time. Crazy! 

We have to extend Raisel Iglesias before he reaches FA.

Feels like that has been the story since 2010

Just a couple of Jo Adell outs...     Expected batting averages on those hit balls both over .500.

That last at-bat ended with a drive to right-center field. A good sign that he's seeing the ball really well.

Yep. The bullpen needs a complete makeover and he is a great start to that

Matt V. really does make the game more enjoyable.

We are lucky to have him, even if it is only part time.

I like what we've seen from Warren so far. Good news heading into next season.

With the uncertainty of Trout and now Rendon, some good news heading into next season is a welcome diversion.  If we could just play Texas forever.

Absolutely, need to get Raisel Iglesias extended.

I am not looking forward to that series in LA… it could be ugly. 

[Angel Oracle]

Starting pitching since July 3:

14 out of 27 games with at least 6 innings from the starting pitcher

22 out of 27 games with at least 5 innings from the starting pitcher

 

157.1 innings - 5.83 innings per start

3.38 ERA, 1.08 WHIP

 

Haven’t seen that since maybe 2014?

 

Back to .500, exactly 2/3 into the season

 

Mayfield is fast approaching .700 OPS.

Downside is 37 of the remaining 54 games being against +.500 teams.
