  1. I feel bad for people that go to Angel Stadium to actually watch baseball. I read some comment from some fan saying that it was shitty watching a position player pitch…personally, I would’ve had the most amazing time watching a position player pitch!!

    I’ve been to like 10 games this year and I think I have paid attention to a total of 5 innings of baseball or less. To me, Angel Stadium is a place to party, not watch actual Baseball lol.

  2. Manfred is gonna ban position players from pitching solely because the angels keep turning games into slow pitch softball

  14. Ran out of time! were rallying in the bottom of the ninth! If it was a 25 inning game Halos win 18-17.

  19. Look at it this way, we got mollywhopped, but at least we didn’t manage to blow a perfect game *and* lose the game entirely with only one out left to get. FTD

  21. At this point, we got to believe the Angels have inept coaches.

    Kikuchi goes to the Astros and he has a 2.79 era with a whip under 1.

    On the Angels he suddenly becomes not worth starting.

    Why do players who come here suddenly get worse?
