DFA Davidson and Herget.

Get Ingram and Yovan up here.

After a fantastic start to the season, Yovan has been hit very hard the last 3 or 4 games. ERA went from 0.41 to well over 3.

forgot to put hit in my explanation.

Walsh actually hit one near the fence!!!

And lowered his BA to .107. If he puts some effort into I think he can get it under .100

[gurn67]

This one's on the offense. Heaney has now given up 15 hits and 10 walks in his last 11.2 innings, and all the Angels could manage off him was one run. The Rangers had to go to their tired bullpen in the 4th inning. Their bullpen has the 7th worst ERA in MLB this season, and the Angels' hitters couldn't do squat against them. 

Shohei tomorrow, and a rested bullpen. Number 1 against Number 1 tomorrow. Eovaldi was not sharp at all in his last start. Hopefully, that trend continues tomorrow. I'll be there to watch it.

Thanks bullpen asshats

Has to be someone better than Herget in AA.

Ohtani with another blast 

[Angel Oracle]

Trout fast approaching sub .800 OPS

[bloodbrother]

Pen was shorthanded tonight so they were forced to go to guys they wouldn't want to in high leverage situations. Oh well. Angels already accomplished what they needed to in Texas and still have an opportunity to win the series tomorrow with their best pitcher going

That's just weird.

The optimist in me says it's just a prolonged slow start. The pessimist in me says...well, I'd rather not go there.

The Rangers also have their best pitcher going.

[REDneck]

Tomorrow Shohei, and he is due for a dominant game..(pitching)

Fully stocked BP..bats were quiet tonight, their due tmrw..like to have Ohtani save that blast for tmrw.

We get the series tmrw!

I'm guessing Herget will get sent down for someone else after this game, but that reliever will then get sent down when Matt Moore comes back, possibly next week.

The other concern is Tucker Davidson, who in our opinion is not very good. Outside of his first 4 scoreless inning save against the A's the second game of the season, he's been pretty bad. 

Jhonathan Diaz (3.48 ERA 32 K's, 31 IP) or Kenny Rosenberg (4.10 ERA, 68 K's, 59.1 IP)

Silver Lining was that blast by Ohtani.

I'd expose Davidson to waivers and bring up Rosenberg to be the long guy that rarely pitches -- Davidson has completely imploded -- the one thing he had going for him (average exit velocity), has completely cratered and is down to the 41 percentile.   Let Davidson try to get his crap together starting because he's failing at his current role.

Oh well. Win this series on Thursday Angels.

[Angel Oracle]

Rendon 3-33

Trout 8-56

Renfroe 2-24

Walsh hitting .107

Yet somehow 8-2 the past 10 games

[TroutField]

I’m frustrated after kicking their ass for 2 games then offense comes out looking flat… against Andrew Heaney of all people. F that guy, could never step up when he was with the Angels but somehow does against the Angels. 

[Vlad27Trout27]

This was on the offense has plenty of opportunities. BP had also been overworked past few series and you had to role with The the 2nd line group of pitcher and hoped for the best.

Tomorrow is where Othani and the offense needs to step it up!

They need to win to tomorrow so i dont hear "they cant win a series against a 500+ team"

[Farmbuildingfan]

I will be very surprised if Neto only has a cramp.
