The Angels travel to Houston, the site of an impending hurricane. There will be a double-header tomorrow.
Angels Lineup: Fletcher 4, Ohtani 10, Trout 8, Rendon 5, Pujols 3, Adell 9, Upton 7, Simmons 6, Bemboom 2. Sandoval 1
Astros Lineup: Springer 8, Altuve 4, Correa 6, Tucker 7, Gurriel 3, Brantley 10, Reddick 9, Maldonado 2, Mayfield 5. Valdez 1
So every relief pitcher but Ramirez and our backup backup backup catcher/pitcher gave up runs tonight.
Is our pitching that consistently bad or are the pitching coaches that bad that they can’t fix/make any adjustments? Or both? I vote for both.
Lead runner is in the dugout!
Trying to be optimistic about next year. I mean, there’s no way we’re this bad again, right? A core of trout, Rendon, Ohtani, and fletcher isn’t a bad core at all really. Adell naturally improves, and I am personally of the opinion that Ohtani is totally pitching again. A rotation of Ohtani, canning, Bundy, and high class free agent isn’t bad at all really. Through it a reclamation project that FINALLY works (one has to work eventually, right?) and boom! Maybe we’re the team to beat after all?!
Plus pujols retires because he wants trout to have a better chance at the post season. Too far? 😅
Like they really care that much about each other
I don’t think it’s likely enough for pujols to retire, but you don’t think they care about each other? I’d do a lot for some of my coworkers and I’d say we don’t spend the time together that these guys do. But even if Trout has half of his heart, I’m sure in Pujols mind he is ABSOLUTELY NOT at all part of the problem. That’s the things.
I don’t know that I care about a coworker enough to give up $30 million dollars for them. Maybe eventually with time 😂
Bemboom > Robles
9-21 is pathetically pathetic. But good enough for the 1st overall pick
Eh…
Didn’t bother to turn the game on again. Not missing anything new, other than Upton ruining my dream and scraping above .100
I really hate this team. So lifeless.
He’s coming up this inning, I would think, and you can not cheer him on
I haven’t been cheering for anyone. Can I anti cheer for him?
Great batters are great because they see the ball well. The know how to lay off crap and jump on hittable pitches. Trout is not seeing the ball well lately.
Trout usually has a small slump around this time of the year. He goes on a tear when breaks out of it.
It’s only been a few weeks, not a few months.
He’s not living baseball right now. New baby + bad team = Would rather be doing something else right now
Again?
It wouldn’t be an Angel game until the relievers give up a ton of runs.
Nothing more to say
Hit to right becomes a double
Is anyone amazed that this has happened, this guy is a HorseS — pitcher. He just kills us. He let’s other pitchers runs score in every outing.
I’ll definitely take those 3 runs for that Springer hit. Good stuff.
Inherited runners
Did I see it wrong or did he have him on an 0-2 count?
Yessssssssss!
Springer yapping our. That was brutal. Not intentional but I don’t feel sorry for him.
Tapping out
I like YAPPING OUT better.
Best guy to have a pitcher hit a cheater
Jacob Barnes all about that tank
