good lord lol 

The angels tore up the farm to compete and our best acquisition gets bombed on in his 2nd start after losing his 1st. 
 

Sucks

Okay but "good teams" typically don't have nearly half the 40 man roster injured.

Face it -- injured or not -- the angels are NOT a "good team".  

[HanfordGuy]

They will simply call this Halo comeback as the “Pitch of Tonkin Incident”.

[CaliAngel]

Bases loaded nobody out, let's see how we manage to not score any runs...

Sucks 

They tore the farm up? 

1) look how many guys we called up from Double a this season to fill holes 

2) trading 2 prospects that may or not be good in a few years isn’t the end of the world 

Adell was once a can’t miss guy and he’s yet to figure it out. With Ohtani and trouts time ticking , the angels couldn’t afford to wait 

I like what Perry did. 1 bad start from Giolito against the leagues best team isn’t earth shattering 

[CaliAngel]

LOL bases loaded nobody out and Grichuk watches a pitch right down the pipe for strike 3.

Disagreed, if healthy, I think they'd be leading the West.

Yeah I’m just frustrated and being unreasonable. 

[daygloman]

Better than nothing, but still deeply in debt!

Go Halos!

[Stradling]

Is 3 runs more than not scoring?  It seems like it is.  That being said I didn’t go to College University.

Even aces have bad games.

Strider gave up 8 runs recently.

Let’s see how Giolito (not an ace) does after being settled in and pitching at home. (Fingers crossed.)

You know this thread is really going off when AO has become the voice of reason

That’s 2 

Progress

[AngelsFaninGA]

Suarez could've done what Giolito did for a fraction of the cost

[TheLordofOuts]

Okay, we just need to keep chipping away.  We basically got 3 run shot right there.  Just need a couple more

[eligrba4ever]

Angels are rebounding a bit. 9-4 Atlanta in the sixth.

Progress

I think the first one was a fielders choice?

[Stradling]

Renfroe had the first one. 

[jsnpritchett]

Hope Neto can get back on track at the plate.  Since he came off the IL, he's now 8 for 46.  It seemed like he was finding something just before he had this latest issue, but now after coming back from that, he's 1 for 14.
