My son is out of school. Tickets will be easy to find. I might have to be in a meeting all afternoon.

I don’t blame whoever’s doing the post-game thread for taking his time.

Can Soriano go more than two innings? I know he used to start

That was sad. And to end it swinging at an eye level pitch is just embarrassing.

Sandoval has not lived up to expectations this year unfortunately.

There was talk of him being amongst the best lefties in the AL….. now he’s a fringe backend starter.

It’s been rough watching Sandy pitch this year.

Last year he made great strides with the change-up. The change elevated his pitching overall.

This year, he just can’t seem to get last year’s magic back.

After a great WBC run, he’s been flat this year.

Sandy is more of a finesse pitcher and needs to find the mix of pitches to keep the hitters off balance.

The biggest change the team needs to make is removing Nevin and giving Benji a chance.

If Perry can’t see Nevin’s deficiencies at all, there is no hope this season.

Can’t bring in more players and expect a different result when Nevin is making pitching decisions.

D backs next. Good luck with that. They aren’t 12 games under 500.

That is NOT good. Lol.

I’d rather they’d won. Now they’re going to be angry and hungry coming in here …

did drury not know the score? Swinging at balls when we needed a runner on

Not feeling Nevin at all.

Leaving in Sandy when he was struggling and then bringing in Webb in the ninth.

The team has lost several games with poor managerial decision making

yea that was the highest leverage spot today. Keep the lead at 2 so an Ohtani or Trout dinger could tie it. We should just start calling him No feel Phil.

I have such high expectations for this team and they are so annoying.

Why would you have anything but tempered expectations? Team won 73 games last year.

I think they have improved this year with added depth. Drury, Renfroe, Neto (before hurt), Moniak’s emergence, a real closer in the bullpen, etc…. I guess that they could win 85 games and that is a 12 game improvement on 2022 but I have higher expectations. The 2001 Angels won 75 games, the 2002 Angels won the World Series. So teams can get better quickly.

I get that but nothing has changed organizationally which is why my optimism is tempered

Other than stat padding, a meaningless homer.

And now the HBP, 2 steals, and wild pitch/passed ball come back to haunt them.
