Red Sox have lost their two best hitters. O’Neill and Devers for the last three games. Here’s how many runs they have without their two best guys: 8, 4, and 6 today.

Angels lose Rendon and cannot score. The other guys are getting opportunities — and they’re lousy.

Offense is the biggest deficiency….on a team/organizations full of deficiencies.

Hey Twebur, what do you mean, our leadoff hitter is hitting .138, we know how to hit. 😂

So are we back to Trout can’t hit fastballs again?

Apparently. Underneath/late on every one of them.

I don’t think he ever had clutchyness. He had an elite eye that isn’t quite as elite as it once was. Great mistake hitter.

Now that Rendon is on the IL, Wash can stop dicking around on the DH position, and give it to someone full-time.

Moniak – LF
Sano – 3B
Adell – DH

Those should be your everyday players now.

No, this:

Moniak – LF
Sano – 3B
Drury – 2B
Rengifo – DH

Get Rengifo off the infield.

Get Rengifo off the team is more like it.

I’m tired of this slightly improved version of Aybar on the team. Jettison his ass.

Since it’s clear this team isn’t going anywhere this season, I’d rather see Kyren Paris take his growing pains than this 10-cent head.

Aybar had 23 BWAR over 10 years on the team averaging 2.3 per year with a peak of 4.4 in 2011. Rengifo’s peak is 2.4 in 2022 and a career of 4.8 in 465 games or a 162 game average of 1.7.

Improved version of Aybar HOW?

Thank you for the numbers. It may have been awhile and I’m only basing it off the eye test.

Aybar did have good years, I concede. I may just remember the bad moments more.

Grandpa gets it. Rengifo is muff cabbage. Seriously, this should have been his fourth error of the year.

Looks like the Angels are tired, maybe because half the games played are day games?

It’s April Not September. They shouldn’t be tired. They’re MLB level baseball players.

Losing games much like this one today will take the wind out of their sails.

I predicted a 70-92 season. If the Angels lose today, they will be 9-13. Right on schedule..

The only series won is vs the Marlins. The only back to back wins is vs the Marlins. Yes, it is only April, but YEESH

They’re on schedule now at 9-12. 9-13 would make a 66 win pace

That looks so much like the shift without being a shift, 3b playing SS. This is going to catch on and ruin the intent of Manfraud’s attempt to fix what was broken.

Perry’s gotta take away Wash’s favorite toy away from him, just like how Jerry took Mathis away from Soth

Perry must have promised Hicks the majority of ABs to sign for a paltry $750k. I remember Hicks gloating he had a starting role the day after he signed, then quietly backed off the statement

No out leadoff walk, something new.
