Blowouts are easy to write. Not fun. But easy. This pathetic team got blitzed in the first inning and then did not even attempt to comeback at all. Not that I really blame them. Well, I blame Jack, that was horrible. But everyone else, well, Baseball is a marathon. The hitters have to go do this again tomorrow, and the bullpen has to as well.
Speaking of Jack though, the Jack of 1 K got his 1 k. And 6 ER. And 6 hits and a walk allowed in his 1/3 of a first inning. That Suter came in to give up a home run to Ohtani did not help at all. If we ignore that horrible, no good, very bad inning, the game was a lot like last night’s, a pitching duel of sorts between one of the best SP in baseball, and the Angels bullpen. Honestly, even if the Dodgers are phoning it in after the 1st, this is surprisingly decent all things considered. You know, besides that 1st inning.
Highlighted Recap
Oswald was a lucky rabbit today with a triple in the first.
It was all downhill from here.
But, uh, well, the nightmare of a first ended rather smoothly?
And Trout made a decent catch
Oh and Adell made one too.
Oh and Neto had a meaningless 9th inning solo shot.
That was it for the Angels though, and frankly, that was less ugly this way. Having all that ugly pitching in 1 video helps, but jeez, this was embarrassing. Neto is not looking good, the bats are ice cold, the pitching is… bleh. And once again, the Angels score 2 or fewer runs. 33rd time this season, the team is 24-41 in 2026. We may be watching the worst Angel team of all time.
Upcoming
Angels vs Dodgers game 6 tomorrow, and Angels will need a miracle to avoid getting season swept this year.
