We had an early homer by Taylor Ward, an error by Zach Neto, an RBI walk by Nolan Schanuel, and an implosion by Victor Mederos. Typical Angels baseball.

Tank mode has been initiated. I have never been more embarrassed by a starting lineup than what is being thrown out there today. Literally half the lineup should be released.a 35-120 bb/k ratio in AA? LeBlanc has to be absolutely the worst 3rd place hitter of all time. Jordyn Adams won’t be anything more than a pinch runner in the bigs. Drury is slugging like what low 200’s as a cleanup hitter. Jack Lopez is a 31 year old that has never hit anywhere ever. Like man this is depressing. Only Ward, Neto and Thaiss are actual deserving major leaguers.
Perry did a good job at the deadline.
Charlie Sheen is balling out for Philly. In return, we got 6 years of the Italian Stallion plus whatever George Klassen becomes.

Niko gets another 2 weeks to live out his dream, and then hopefully we never see him again.
Zeferjahn looks pretty decent. Cheap bullpen piece for the rest of the decade.
Lugo got hurt in his first game with SLC. Too bad because he would’ve gotten called up over Teodosio.
Vargas is interesting. 20 year old SP performing well in Low A. Fun arm to keep tabs on next season.
And then 4 months of daily doses of hopium until March when we are at our collective hopium high, just to subjected to a thousand cuts during the season, that leaks all the hopium out of us.
Remember the good ol days w/Panther of the game, the rally sk@nk and 100’s of comments during and after the game? Yeah, me neither.
Even with the core of kids we have, this team is borderline unwatchable most days. I’ve watched all one 1 game this year and that cuz I was hanging w/friends who are Halo fans. They lost of course. Badly lol.
Hey, that guy they let go for nothing for is probably gonna be a 50/50 player. They still woulda sucked but watching that would have been nice. Wonder why he couldn’t steal 50 here? Oh yeah, the strategy was hit homers to score, don’t try and manufacture runs lol. He’d probably steal 80 w/Wash.
Thank the gods football is back.
This loss is squarely on Washington, bringing in pitchers who should only be used in mop up duty when the game is out of reach.
