At this point they’re probably not going to have any long winning streaks. Just need to start winning series again. If Trout and/or Ward are coming back I’d still rather have Adell as the 4th outfielder over Lagares. He just brings more upside with his bat and speed.

Mets were a below average team in 2021. In 2022 they’re one of the best. They’re clearly doing something right. Because the Angels are not….

Sold the team to someone who wants to win?

Showalter established a professional approach on and off the field. He has brought stability to a franchise that could not get out of their way. Players are not that much different and Scherzer and DeGrom have not contributed a whole lot, Starling Marte as well.

So bottom line a better Mets owner, better GM, better manager. Better trades and acquisitions. Mets players on the field are defintely better because they’re winning games. What a difference a year makes..

Boils down to too much spent on 2 players Trout and Rendon. $680 Million dollars. Pitching and bullpen subpar. Holes everywhere. Beaten by better teams. Simple as that.

Just heard this. Slightly surprised about Adell as he played fairly well..

Besides almost botching a play by not calling on a ball hit to the outfield and making a serious baserunning gaffe which resulted in a run not being scored….yeah, I’d say he’s played fairly well. But in all fairness, he’s a better bat in the lineup than Wade. Wade needs to be DFA’d ASAP!

I can see why they sent him down. As stated many times before. Adel’s a “work in progress”…

Wade and Lageres both, DFA Bros.

Angels stated previously that when Adell was called up they wanted to make it permanent. Which obviously didn’t go as planned..

I don’t get the all the disappointment. They are a good team when healthy. At the moment, they are neither. Still the same team during the losing streak, just with Rendon. Until Trout comes back, there will be some struggles

Angels had a winning record when Trout was out last year. Tired of hearing the Mike Trout bullsh.t excuse. Other players need to step up and play better. Simple as that. Starting pitching and bullpen ain’t cuttin it..

You are always looked up to for your opinion because we know what kind of Angels fan you are. I lied.

Dude, have you looked at his WAR ??

Despite his recent struggles Mike was not or is not the reason we have been losing.

You don’t get the disappointment? Really?

The team has lost 15 of their last 16 games. We have fallen out of the playoff picture and continue to lose.

As you point out Trout and Ward are not playing, but by the time we have our main pieces all healthy, playing and clicking we will likely be hopelessly buried.

I mean don’t expect a 14 game winning streak to match the losing one. Ain’t gonna happen,

Most likely our playoff chances died when we blew that 6-2 8th inning lead on Sunday in Philadelphia.

THAT is why “all the disappointment,”.

It get that the losing streak was terrible, but what made you think that they would get better? Trout is out, the infield is batting around the Mendoza line, the bullpen is struggling. It’s visible. But we know all of this. At this point, you expect this type of play until the team finally healthy, which might not be for the rest of the season.

Gonna be rough going from another few games. Just please win the series against the Mariners. Angles are only a few games from 5th place.

Before Trout’s return in……(Maybe) August or so, I hope the team continues to stay hot…..

While I’d rather we were in Houston’s spot, the Astros are having a losing streak, likely the first sign of their impending collapse.

Joking, because everyone on twitter/reddit/here was saying that they were on a winning streak now.

Being just a baseball fanatic, with the Angels failing, many thanks to the College Super Regionals. Good baseball. ESPN extra inning game going on.

Stop me if you’ve heard this before… Angels have runners on first and second with no outs and don’t capitalize on it.

New Mets pitcher and a K for March. Halos have something brewing……..

7 of the 9 Angels hits are from home grown.

Has Jo earned himself a day off for going 2-3 so far?

Somehow 1-15 sounds worse than 0-16.
