Angels News
The Angels lost again. Shocker. Thanks to untimely hitting. Daring today, aren’t we? And the bullpen gave up a late home run. Expect more of that this season.
Soler was DFA-ed. Watch him go back to the Braves and be good again.
Will Kikuchi pitch again? Yes. For the Bees. As for the MLB club, maybe?
The Angels currently have the worst team in Baseball, but not the least amount of FWAR. Given that most of the players traded were pitchers, that number may be more even now.
Now that the dust has settled, what does Fangraphs think of the Angels farm system? 18th. 2nd best in the AL West. Optimism!
Around Baseball
After all the hype, the Dodgers managed to lose yesterday with Skubal pitching. Are we sure he is on the Dodgers and not the Angels? Just kidding, I WISH the Angels had Skubal. Actually, I wanted Skubal back in 2020, I even have the trade calculator screenshot to prove it. See?
Meanwhile the Tigers are being historic. On Offense. For the first time in 99 years, they have scored 8 runs in a game for at least 6 games. Skubal could have used that run support on the Dodgers.
Reminder that the Field of Dreams game is back August 13th! And the field looks as dreamy as ever.
What batter is best in each inning? Looks like mostly NL guys.
James Wood to the IL for an oblique. He is the MLB leader in runs scored, but is so far ahead he is likely to still be it when he comes back.
