We play bad teams we win. We play decent teams, we get creamed.

They’re better than their record indicates.

True. So, we have to revert back to the other option…… WE SUCK!

I do enjoy watching McKenzie pitch. The thin frame generating that much velo and spin.

Very aesthetically pleasing.

Just sucks it was against us today.

Just checking in to say that this is disappointing. That is all.

Looks like the Angels are having another bout of shutoutitis flare up again. Hopefully they’ll recover before the prerequisite 3 days

McKenzie’s given up two hits in his last 13 innings. Too bad he learned how to pitch this week.

Well, looks like we are have been set on the “Shitty Cycle” again.

Even our highlight reel stuff end up on the cutting room floor.

So we’re on pace to get swept by a team behind us in the standings. This team…

Hate the *ucking Indians. May as will be in the AL West, can’t beat them.

You mean the Guardians. That will become a big joke. No hope in Cleveland anytime soon.

The rookies all look like rookies today. This is going to take longer than I hoped.

Probably not until 2023. Detmers should not be up here now. It was too soon.

I’m still happy to give him a chance. How many more times do you want to see Quintana?

None. Next year I would like to finally see an ace pitcher on the mound for the
Angels. It has been over 10 years since that has happened.

Their rookie doesn’t. Oh, well, so much for cy rookying them…. the thought was nice while it lasted.

The Cy Rookie rule only applies to pitchers on the other team.

Geez – even Trout had a rough start. You can’t judge rookies inning by inning or game by game. Give the kid a real chance
