As the lights go out and the fat lady is singing we are rejoicing that we have a new minor league level 2nd baseman and relief pitcher to help us obtain a #1 draft pick

The worst part about the MLB draft is that the player taken has little to no chance of making an impact in less than 3 years.

This team’s incapable of a big winning streak.

I wasted an entire Sunday afternoon just to watch them give up runs on stupid plays and absolutely crap the bed with runners in scoring position. Ugh, at least they still won the series.

Rendon picked the wrong game to suck.

The fact that the Angeks can’t seem to advance a runner to even 3rd in this extra inning format is maddening

It’s as if Ohtani thinks home plate is one of them Sarlacc pit monsters from Return of the Jedi

Why the hell are you backing away from the plate?

He’s a guess hitter who gets caught off guard when he guesses wrong and flings the bat uncontrollably.

I don’t like Ohtani batting 2nd. It just feels wrong. He’s a 3-5 guy as far as I am concerned. Not saying that is why he is struggling right now, but I don’t Like it.

Another bad thing about the La Stella trade is that we lose what was at decent #2 hitter (for us).

Right now he should be batting in the 6-8 slot. Unfortunately so should half of the lineup.

Hahaha … I was thinking the same. Entire lineup belongs 6-8. 😂

Big time FAIL by Rengifo. He had the perfect pitch to bunt on 1-0 and just fouled it off.

He HAS to be able to get that down. Little short utility guys are supposed to be good bunters. No excuse.

Plays like that anger the heck out of me. Little league kids know you have to charge that ball. Ridiculous and unacceptable.

My coach once pulled me from a game for failing to charge a ball like Goodwin just did.
