Also the C-Mo pick feels brutally bad right now. Not confident at all in him being able to be a long term starter.

Overall at least the hitting has looked better than I think it would. They have more pitching depth than they’ve had so it’s not like Silent K is going to be walking however many he did today without him being sent to AAA. I think Bremner is up by June.

June will be way too late. You need to win games early. The season could be over by May when you are playing key games against division rivals.

You’re cute. This team is losing 95 games with or without Bremner.

If only there were 3B available on the FA market that could have been a long term fix when the Angels literally don’t have anyone in the pipeline I’d consider a legit 3B prospect. Cole F…. puhlease

After the first two games, I thought things were going to be different this year. My bad.

Wow looking. Why not pinch hit candelario

He already pinch hit earlier in the game

Ok must have missed that

Why in the hell do let Moncada hit there? With the game on the line no less….
AND from the right side where he has no power ????

Why does he hit in front of Adell.
Legend

Another good question …. He really should not be in the lineup at ALL !

Dreadful AB to lose the game, Non-Cada. You absolutely suck.

Again just holding onto challenges just because. Soler needs to challenge a close pitch. We don’t get to take them home with us

This ump persists on f**king us.
Trusted Member

felt like he did all day but because of only having one challenge they could never appeal

Yup, the rule is absurd. The worse the ump, the more ridiculous it is.

For a guy with Adell’s footspeed it is absolutely unacceptable that he was -1.2 dwar last year. If he was just average he’d be a decent player to build around but he’s barely above league average when you factor in his bat and glove. Honestly can’t wait until he’s gone, seem like the good clubs will take the defense over the offense.

We know he csn’t play CF, yet we persist on putting him there. The definition of insanity.

The starting pitching after the first two guys is going to be an adventure at least for a while.

Adam Frazier is one of those 4 guys. Why when Peraza seemingly gets hot is he riding bench? Soth’s playbook…..
Legend

Yes, got to make sure all our canon fodder get a chance to play, just like little league.

Not sure I would consider after 1 game with multi-hits I would consider a guy ‘hot’

This game is frustrating because the Angels fill out there roster with guys that are just the guys they can literally get who were released by other teams. Don’t need to name names but like 3 or 4 guys on this team that should be major leaguers and their abs count just as much as Trouts/Netos

There is no way there is a H̶i̶g̶h̶ ̶s̶c̶h̶o̶o̶l̶ MLB defense as bad as ours. No way.

yes this OF defense even on days they make good plays for them is absolutely brutal.

Let’s not forget Moncada, O’Hoppe and Schanuel. How we got worse without Rengifo is unbelievable.

When you consciously decide to put Adell in CF and Soler in RF you are asking for trouble.

Fire O’Hoppe into the sun

Piss poor game management again.
Super Member

We’re gonna lose the game because we didn’t challenge
Super Member

And because of a stupid OF alignment.

Yeah Adell in CF and Solar in RF is a troll move. No other way to explain it

I think you can make the argument we lost this game because Trout challenged when he shouldn’t have because he didn’t challenge when he should have.
Trusted Member

This.

We still had a challenge left. Completely irrelevant that Trout lost one early.
Trusted Member

I think they are thinking you save the last challenge for something egregious not something that was incredibly borderline but yea I agree they should have taken it.
Legend

The better way to look at it was the ballgame was on the line, and was lost on the very next pitch.

Yeah that challenge don’t work out but everyone needs to know we still had one and how big that circumstance was against Parades
