Angels beat Royals 5-1

The Royals ruined Baseball back in 2014 and 2015. For Angels fans especially, the Kansas City Royals are a reminder of how Mike Trout has never won a playoff game. He has also been sitting at 398 home runs for almost a month. Maybe if the broadcast can not say it in a game for once he will finally hit them. Aaaaaaand Mike Trout was scratched with a skin infection. Well… That sucks.

As for the pitching, today we got to see the MLB debut of Mitch Farris. Will the Angels get to see their own Cy Rookie? Or will he get burnt like the rest of Angels pitching as of late? He went 5 innings giving up 1 runs on 3 hits striking out 3 and walking 2. Not a Cy Rookie but certainly a Cy good job.

Highlighted Recap

Farris got his first strikeout in the 1st, against Bobby Witt jr. That is special right there.

Special K

Unfortunately, after a triple in the 3rd, a sac fly made it 1-0 Royals

That may mean an L, kid

Not to fear, Adell is here and WOW THAT’S A SPLASH

2-1 Angels in the 6th

A win was now possible for our rookie starter.

It was made more probable in the 7th as Peraza drove in a run.

3-1 Angels

And the Royals gifted another in a wild pitch.

4-1 Angels

And in the 9th the Angels added another

5-1 Angels

Jansen came in despite it not being a save situation. It wasn’t the prettiest but Angels win!

Upcoming

2 more vs the Royals and then the last 3 against the A’s this season.

Angels scored the only victory in the ALWest tonight, need about 10-15 more of those episodes this month

Dana getting the start tomorrow. The whining yesterday about Perry not giving the young arms in the org a chance is aging well lmao.

Fwiw, I am nervous Dana gets shelled.

KC is a good team to roll him out against.

Agree. They are not a great hitting team… We have a higher team OPS etc

Now, watch them break out for 9-10 runs ha ha…

Jo seems to have adjusted back to the adjustments. I think he’s a real MLB slugger now. How fun is that?

Real fun.

I think we should drop Trout to 5th in the order. Play around with the following for a bit:

Neto
Rengifo
Ward
Adell
Trout

WOW, a lead off guy without speed. Also no power either.

Developing into a star RF and clubhouse leader. Jo is my favorite player on the team and Perry better get cracking on a longterm extension for him, Neto and Sori.

Long term contract for Adell?
No.

How about Angels give him a nice raise for his arbitration years 2026 and 2027.
Pay him premium, if need be. As long as it’s for 1 year.
Otherwise he can leave.

Despite Adell having a good year in 2024 and a phenomenal year in 2025, he’s still just 0.9 WAR (2024) and 1.3 WAR (2025)

A starting outfielder averages 2.0-3.0 WAR.

He’s finally figured it out. You can to expect better years in the future. And it isn’t all about math either.

Great win.

Glad to see the kid get the W and an epic strikeout in his first outing.

Jo Adell vindicated my belief in him, finally! I waited, but never wavered.

Farris’ day on was neat too

what happens first?
a) Ward’s 100th RBI
b) Adell’s 100th RBI
c) Trout’s 400th HR

Nice bit of small ball action to go with Jo’s power.

Is Farris a keeper or another flash in the pan?
