[No Roles]

ward has been God awful in the field to nobody is trading for him !

[eligrba4ever]

GO ANGELS!!!!

AVOID THE LIKELY SWEEP BY OAKSACTOVEGAS.

Chicagoland beckons with 3 day games at Wrigley and temps mid-70s to about 80, but possibly wet.

Walks make the pain drag on longer.

2 of our starting pitchers have the top 2 spots for least strikeout percentage...lol

[eligrba4ever]

Woo hoo. Rendon will be Ron's third-baseman next week. How long until the next injury?

Leave it to the halos medical staff to not be able to diagnose a concussion, lol

This looks like a gettaway day offense…

2 top plays by pillar..he is definitely more likely to be traded pretty soon....teams will want him like i've always said

[Waybackman]

Angels overmatched by the A’s stellar pitching staff.

he passed the concussion protocol after getting beaned. this isn't on the medical staff.

[fan_since79]

Do we lead the majors in walks? Seems like it.

[No Roles]

let's see if sano's getting the joy to tag a guy out that was not involved in the out will spark his bat ! he has been useless too...

3rd-worst in the majors, but essentially tied for first (less than 1/10 of a walk per 9 innings less than the worst team).

EDIT: And just for good measure, they're 4th-worst in K/9.

A 4th of July walk-a-thon!

I am so tired of O'Neal mentioning that Gubie coached Pillar in high school.  He does it like 10 times a game.  We get it, dude.

[No Roles]

the better energy in the dug out died as soon as Drury and Sano got placed in the line up !

[jsnpritchett]

I'm very curious to see if there's even a market for Matt Moore at this point.  Drastic falloff from last year.

same. 

he's such an awful play by play guy. he isn't good at this, yet they keep running him out there time and time again. my ears hurt every time he's on the mic.

[fan_since79]

And of course their squeeze play works.

[Waybackman]

Back to back shut outs by the A’s‽

He should stop playing like he's still dizzy
