We should NOT have lost on Opening Day. We had our best starting pitcher going against their third best starter (who happens to be a lefty) and all we could muster was one lousy run. We needed to win that game. That was the tale of this series. As I said at the time it did not bode well for things to come…
That game – Game 1 of 162 – was one I psychologically NEEDED the Angels to win. I only knew that for the next three hours after the game. Thank the Goddess May Jane Warner, who pulled me out of that funk.
I’m sure we will come out flat against the Miami Heat and lay another egg…few more injuries. Juggling of the batting order to finally get the team batting average over .200….
I do have some positive news, Adell makes 2 routine fly balls look easy and actually hits a foul ball so hard in makes it the the 3rd deck.
You know what kills me? The Trash-Holes see Correa leave, so they just bring up a 24 year old from the DR who’s already flashing leather, has a HR, was batting .400 before this last K. Why can’t WE d stuff like that? Oh right: we gutted our minor leagues a while back. Forget I asked.
yep the complete lack of urgency, I can’t understand it for the life of me. Pay Rendon all that money to sit on the bench? Marsh has actually looked really good and there was a righty today….. Maddon can go.
Rendon sucks. He was smiling and laughing in the dugout on Thursday night after having grounded into an excruciating DP. He was displaying the exact lack of urgency you are decrying. He is one of the culprits for the “lack of urgency.”
It’s what the unwashed masses clamor for. Phony “high energy” broadcasts, full of useless chatter. And if an Angel does hit a home run, giving it a call like it just walked off the Angels a Game 7 World Series win. And that nauseating fake disney-esque “smile talking” where everyone keeps their fake smile plastered on their faces.
Jo Adell needs to play every day until All -Star game and he will be a whole lot better, keep the faith with the kids as painful as it will be. Keep Adell in left. Give Capt. Jack more playing time and keep Walsh in against the lefties and things will work out.
Perry sucks so far at the in game support. I see batters just swinging , no scouting reports. Nobody is doing any pre- game work. Astros defense is at the right place right time, batters with a specific approach
you do realize Arte employs Perry and people he went to college with. Every other owner hires a GM and lets him hire way way way more actual baseball people than Perry gets to.
The one thing I will say is that the outcome very likely would have been different if we had not been screwed by the agenda of the MLB offices. They do it to us year after year with reviews. Had we gone up 2-0 (as we actually DID) we would have won.
I missed it: did Marsh AKA “Squatch” – not play today because of the rib thing from last night?
thought it was his K’ankle…might be ribs too.
Okay, so the Trash-Holes outscored us 22-8 in a 4 game series and we begin the season 1-3. And we had fantastic SP from Ohtani and Thor.
Think of the upside.
(Someone please tell me what the upside is?)
We
Okay…okay: true…but I was looking for something even MOAR upside.

Adell made OnE oF tHe BeSt CaTcHeS yOu’Ll EvEr SeE!
According to dip shit Patrick O’Neal.
That was some stellar turd-polishing, you hafta admit.

The sad thing? At this point, I’ll take it.
They can’t possibly be this bad the rest of the season
This, too, seems to check out.
This team has no depth. Half the starting lineup could get released and wind up in the mornings. Hope you are happy Arte.
4 games in and I’m already sick of this damn team. Same shit year after year.
At least, we went quickly in the 9th
Yea, it was like sweet euthanasia. None of that typical Halos loading the bases with no outs and failing to score. This one was no-drama.
Well it’s not the Soap Opera channel you know…… 😅 
Lol. No buttercup, huh?
I think it was Isaac Newton who said if there is no build-up, there can be no buttercup. “QED” er something like that.
Just got home….what did I miss?
a lotta misery
Oh just a loss as we played the Asstros, Umpires and New York TV Umpires and we fell short.
1-3 in the AL west……feels like home to me!
If Adell can’t hit what value does he have for this team?
A minor Minor League pitcher maybe.
well I’m sure we will see him in another 2 days.
Let the kids play.
Is it Tucker Fucker or Fucker Tucker. (April and May)
STFD, Pena!

What were you talking about….?
Thanks, GrandpaBaseball. You get me.
And fired the scout who drafted our good players.
This should be the every day lineup…
Marsh
Trout
Ohtani
Rendon
Walsh
Stassi
Duffy
Adell
Fletcher
That’s way more balanced right there
I think most here will agree will you, but Joe has to make crazy line-ups and always, well mostly calls in the wrong relief pitcher.
All the more proof those cubs won the World Series not because of him but in spite of him.
Friend who’s a cub fan coulda ceres less when joe went adios.
That’s why Theo moved off him, the magic is long gone.
A lineup with wade, suzuki, rojas, adell, and mayfield all playing is going to net you a bunch of L’a.
Sounds like a Law Group.

Has our announcing crew mistaken a routine flyball for a home run today?
Twice in one inning.
SMH…
Honestly I can’t remember one time that happened in all the years I’d watch or listen to every single game. Twice on one inning? Jesus.
Matty V almost strained a vocal cord on an Ohtani flyout to RF the other night.
I heard that one. Wasn’t even close to the warning track!!!
It’s what the unwashed masses clamor for. Phony “high energy” broadcasts, full of useless chatter. And if an Angel does hit a home run, giving it a call like it just walked off the Angels a Game 7 World Series win.

I think adell might not being seeing the ball off the bat. He reacts after it hits the ground.
If that’s the case it’s more worrying than him flailing away at routing fly balls
Well at least we have Adell-Rojas-Suk coming up…..sure we’ll see a PH, like that matters.
You’ll be witness to the comeback.
Pathetic offense.
Yea. It’s safe to say the vaunted offense has not appeared yet this season.
But it will. And it will be effing glorious. Hang in there, guys. It sucks now, but we’ll get better.
June or July?
June…23rd. If you had to ask.
I have August……August 7th for a brief homestand, gone, then back again on the 22nd. Then we look f’ing sweet for the rest of the year.
I did the math…it checks out. Regrettably.
What year?
Jo Adell needs to play every day until All -Star game and he will be a whole lot better, keep the faith with the kids as painful as it will be. Keep Adell in left. Give Capt. Jack more playing time and keep Walsh in against the lefties and things will work out.
My question is what was he doing all off-season?
He regressed from last year with all that playing time.
Quite the bad feat if that’s the case.
His feet seem fine to me.
…..Dr. Scholls
Locked out.
Not allowed to practice catching fly balls on his own from October-February? They took his glove away?
Do flies have balls?
I endorse this. Put Jack at 2nd and call it a day. The starters need to play.
Perry sucks so far at the in game support. I see batters just swinging , no scouting reports. Nobody is doing any pre- game work. Astros defense is at the right place right time, batters with a specific approach
This is what makes me thing somethings wrong with the organization. Like how are always behind the eight ball
I’ll drink to that, lol
Totally agree. The main difference between us and the Astros is the analytics, scouting and pre-game preparation.
It takes time, we’ve been working on these things for only 14 years, give it time.
you do realize Arte employs Perry and people he went to college with. Every other owner hires a GM and lets him hire way way way more actual baseball people than Perry gets to.
My prediction was right — Angels lose 3 out of 4.
Not yet Pal, although the fat Lady is tuning up.
It is OVER. Done.
The one thing I will say is that the outcome very likely would have been different if we had not been screwed by the agenda of the MLB offices. They do it to us year after year with reviews. Had we gone up 2-0 (as we actually DID) we would have won.
FFFFFFFFFFFF
Strength coach needs replacing.
