Yep like it is symptomatic of something other than coincidence 

[HeavenlyHalos]

It is funny that we sign him to an extension and he becomes one of, if not the worst, hitter in the game.

[stormngt]

Why the fuck is Velazquez batting?

[UndertheHalo]

Oh my god Patty.  Take it easy dawg.  

[HeavenlyHalos]

Wow, that didn't even make it to the track. The ball really is dead this year

[Erstad Grit]

"AND YOU CAN KISS IT...." oh never-mind 

[UndertheHalo]

Anyway.  Onto the next one.  Big things coming tomorrow !

 

 

[eligrba4ever]

Next Angels winning streak begins on Sunday. Drive home safely.

[daygloman]

I was wrong. 

But I truly believed they would win this game.

Tomorrow is another day!

C-ya all tomorrow!

Go Halos!

[HeavenlyHalos]

Sandoval going tomorrow. We will win.

[bloodbrother]

Dumb game. It happens. At least me disagreeing with Maddon pulling Lorenzen when he did didn't have any change in the outcome of the game seeing as how the Angels didn't score another run anyway

Win the series tomorrow.

In the case of Mr Fletcher, his inability to swing level and at pitches in the zone has made him a liability. The coaching staff is to blame for not finding a way to change his swing habits and letting it get this far out of reason. If he has any options then he needs to be sent to Salt Lake with a very focused objective to make the changes necessary to be on the MLB roster. 

[UndertheHalo]

They should probably bring up stefanic and give him a look.  I’d like to see him anyway. 

[UndertheHalo]

Like at least Velasquez is fast.  I don’t want to say I’m out on Fletcher but he’s not having competitive at bats.  ++ defense at short is worth solidly more than that at 2b. 

[UndertheHalo]

And Rendon, I mean it’s not like he’s smoking the ball.  He just doesn’t look that good.  Maybe the hip is still on its way back.  I hope so.   But his light hitting in the middle of the line up is worse than fletcher at the bottom.   Obviously not saying he’s like Fletcher.  But they aren’t getting what they need from his bat.  Or close to what they need from it.  Anyway, hopefully he comes around.  Still early enough but it’s starting to not be that early.

What the hell did you guys do, this is supposed to be a win tonight. 

You happened.

[jsnpritchett]

Lorenzen. Lol. 

 

 

[UndertheHalo]

It’s fine, confidence is ok.  

[UndertheHalo]

Also, Rengifo is killing it at AAA.  He should get a look soon as well. 

[failos]

I got the impression that Lorenzen wasn’t pleased at Maddon pulling him

I got the impression Maddon and all Angels fans weren't pleased with the 5 runs he gave up.

Should have just let him get that last batter.  Ah well.

Well, obviously.

It would be back-to-back HOME weekend series losses to bad teams  with a loss today.

This team may be better than the past six, and baseball may be hard, but this team has got some Sybil in it.   Up and down, just like the recent stock market.   The down being how they have played against poor teams at home so far.

Fortunately, they have played well enough against decent to solid teams.

Bro they could win the series today.  They aren’t going to sweep most series.
