Is Ben Verlander the douchier brother of Justin?

Ben is a mega Angels fan boy and probably accounts for like 60% of the national medias attention to the Angels.  Have some dang respect.

In his last 7 appearances, Craig Kimbrel has an ERA of 9.95

Season ERA is now 4.80 

[Lou]

Pirates swept the Dodgers?

Somebody please check on DO.

If Betts wins the NL MVP this year, he’d join Hall of Famer Frank Robinson as the only players to earn MVP honors in both leagues, having previously won the AL MVP in 2018.

Jose Quintana has a 2.06 ERA through 10 starts this season.

Phillies fire Girardi after going 3-12 over their past 15. 

Phillies will now put it all together against the angels

[Taylor]

We should hire Girardi and send Maddon to the Phillies and see what happens.

"Minnesota Twins broadcaster Jim Kaat referred to New York Yankees left-hander Nestor Cortes as “Nestor the Molestor” during a broadcast Thursday, the second offensive remark in the past year by the 83-year-old Hall of Fame pitcher while calling a game."

Seriously though, Maddon needs to get fired if the Angels continue this losing streak.

I dislike him as much as the next guy, but this is a player issue.  They aren’t performing and we don’t have the depth to solve that.  If Trout has a normal week we win at least one of the three games in NY and the last game of the Toronto series.  If not a single bullpen arm is performing how do you make the right call?  Ohtani, shit the bed yesterday and Syndergaard the game before.  How does Maddon prevent his best or second best pitcher from doing that?

Don’t want Keuchel or think we’re getting him but I do think it’s worth noting that Minasian was with Atlanta when they brought him in

[tdawg87]

I don't see anything redeemable about Keuchel. His FIP is terrible, his walk rate is hideous, and he doesn't strike anyone out.

No.

[m0nkey]

I totally remembered Keuchel played a half season for the braves

Cheap.  (not that I want him for that reason)
