Morning Angels fans. Have some links.
Angels News
What the? The Angels actually won last night. Against the Astros.
That means that today, the Angels have a chance to WIN A SERIES VS HOUSTON. Yeah, the Astros suck this year, but the Angels are even worse, AND, the Angels have not won a series at home vs the Astros since SEPTMEBER 2020.
Also, that 9 run margin of victory is tied for 2nd highest all time vs Houston. That last one came in 2018.
It was a Pyrrhic victory, as Nolan and Rivero left the game due to injury. It also broke Rivero’s 7 AB hit streak.
Oh yeah, and Jack of 1 K has been pitching on a torn elbow. He will have Tommy John. Yoan Moncada also to have surgery and moved to the 60 man.
Around Baseball
There hasn’t been a 3K hitter in years. Freddie Freeman is the MLB active leader and has just hit his 2,500th. Considering he is 37, and has said he wants to spend time with his family, he is not looking likely to make it. That means that Altuve is now the most likely amongst active hitters. Ew.
Jeff Hoffman has historic bad luck for a pitcher. 2nd worst BABIP for a pitcher with at least 20 innings EVER. Yes, EVER. The only one worse pitched in 1872 and of the top 5 only 1 other pitched in the Live Ball Era, in 1934.
Rockies, who are just as bad as the Angels, have a huge attendance of opposing fans, just like the Angels. But one of their players is optimistic that things will change in the future. Smells like copium, but whatever.
For only the 5th time in MLB history, a player has walked off homered in his MLB debut. Braden Montgomery wins it for the White Sox. How can you not be romantic about baseball?
