I completely forgot about today’s game as I’m watching UFC, but, I didn’t miss much if the box score is any indication.
Speaking of which, I see that Neto had another banner day at leadoff. If they’re unwilling to move Trout to leadoff, they should consider Peraza. Neto is NOT a leadoff hitter – too streaky and doesn’t walk enough.
Also, I hope they continue to reduce Schanual’s playing time. Dude is regressing.
When is Rada getting the call? It’s time.

I was at this game. Right behind the dugout. Infuriating game. Suzuki needs to learn a thing or two. God I’m pissed lol. I met Sam Bachman’s uncle though.

Everyone doesn’t love Romano?

No one wants to start a post-game thread. I don’t blame them.

Romano ERA now: 10.23

I can see the future. Romano will be DFA’d, not picked up by anybody, get reassigned to SLC, then come back to the Angels later on

Maybe we will hit 15 K’s.

This ump has been horrible. Used their challenges in bad situations.

So, this is a learning experience game?

11 years of “learning experiences”?

Well, on a positive note, looks like the under is going to pay today.

If this were a prize fight the Angels were KO’d in the 6th Round.

The worst game of the year, by far. Particularly against the lowly Royals. Awful.

Royals have been underperforming. I’d gladly trade Anaheim’s lowly team for KC’s.

I’d prefer to just keep our guys and swap the manager and coaches…. No, we would keep Maddux.

Romano arguing. “I haven’t given up 5 yet!!”

What’s frustrating is after a game like this players should be chewed out for poor play and challenged to be better. That never happens here. Poor play is just accepted.

Suzuki is one of those managers that wants to be the players’s friend. It doesn’t work when the team is so bad.

I’m not real impressed with the job he’s done this year, but this team would make anyone look bad.

I’m not so sure about that…. A really good hitting coach and manager would help alot here. More importantly, a UNIFIED OFFENSIVE PHILOSOPHY that the manager and hitting coach implement and practice !!

Of course Arte is a f_ing tightwade and will only spend for the cheapest possible manager and hitting coach. That’s why they suck !
Big surprise. As I said about Romano : “You get what you pay for.”

I don’t think Suzuki knows how to put a position player in at pitcher. He is asking the umpire for Help.

This umpire has the worst strike zone I’ve seen in the ABS era. Each team would need about 20 challenges to keep this game clean.

Gooby is a nice man, but he is not interested in facts.

I do think generally that the umpires have called balls and strikes pretty well but the system now exposes those that are terrible, but there are no consequences.

Ghost runner, widening the bases and now the ABS. Poor rule changes in my assessment. Pitch clock has turned out well.
Legend

The ABS would be great if they just used it for every pitch…

Or at least gave the teams more than just 2 chances

It is almost like teasing the fans and players… “we have this great technology, but we’re only gonna allow you to use it a handful of times per game, at the most.”

That would be the only way I think I would like it

They’re worried about Romano being available for tomorrow? That’s the joke of the day!!

Season won loss records mean nothing in April. Washington last year managed the team to an 40-40 record before he stepped away. Guess how it ended up…

Every win or loss in April counts the same as of they were in August or September. The fact is the Angels open every season for years now at .500 or below .500 after first month. They don’t build up a positive win/loss record for future slumps. Every year they put themselves in a hole.

This is the road trip where we get into a deep hole. Swept here in KC and probably lose two of three in Chicago as well…. We will be irretrievably buried already by the first week in May.
