  2. 90 losses! And should’ve had more. It’s a shame we missed the all-time strikeout record, but second-most ever.

    This team, like the 10 before them, goes feebly into that good night. I’d say hope springs eternal, but it’s deep underground for this team. Maybe one day something will bloom in Anaheim, but it’s hard to see it from here

  3. It’s been real, fam. Another season, another losing record, but it is what it is. See y’all next year for another season of Angels baseball!

  4. Harold in the post game show calling what it is. But let’s be real Harold, Trent isn’t going to trash his employer and sole shareholder. lol

  8. Not as bad as last year, seems about as good as it gets under Arte. Hopefully, we’ll see better management post Miniasin and Ron will be back.

    Hope we’ll finally have our winning season!

  10. At least this season has been put out of its misery.

    I want to be optimistic, but I don’t see much improvement until they’re out from under that Rendon contract.

  13. I was looking over team stats for the season and holy hell was our pitching astronomically bad. In the AL we were last in:

    ERA
    RA/G
    H (2nd to last behind the Orioles)
    R
    ER
    HR
    BB
    IBB
    K (2nd to last behind KC)
    Wild Pitches
    ERA+
    FIP
    WHIP (by a big margin)
    H/9
    HR/9
    BB/9
    K/9 (2nd to last behind KC)
    K/BB

    They realllly need to address/fix this in the off season somehow.
