It’s alright, I still think we hit a turning point. Just keep winning series. Bring it on Dodgers!

I like that we’re making better contact on offense. And without some of those great defensive plays by the As, the Angels would’ve made it a pretty close game.

Soto just hit a ball out of this world.

Well going 4-5 the last 9 games is kinda what I expected.

7-12 is pretty bad but only 3 games left vs the A’s this season and the Angels aren’t that far from a playoff spot.

Oh well I guess Robles got his job back?

Nah, he’s not preserving a lead.

Why would you demote Buttrey for a single poor performance when he wasn’t even brought into a save situation?

Thought that was the bottom of the 9th.

Yup, you are not alone, so we still have time for the comeback.

When will Joe stop bringing our closer in the game in non-save situations???

I don’t mind bringing him in the 8th instead of 9th or other high leverage situations, but DON’t put him in when we’re behind. It doesn’t work, lol.

That’s not very appealing to us Angel fans. 🙁

Well, 2 out of 3 ain’t bad against the first place team I guess.

5 run bottom of the ninth is doable even with 2 out. I Believe.

Adell probably sweating bullets with that ball headed towards him like that.

Oh boy. I just hope the Laureano clinic only applies to defense.
