Texas Rangers @ Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim game-thread

We’re the worst team in baseball. I mean just look at our lineup. Trout, for your own sake, just leave bruh

He's stuck here 14 more years, but the 1st year in this contract does not look pleasant. Hiring Brad Ausmus is a team-killer, especially for one with injuries in the rotation.

Rangers vs angels is pure baseball horror show kino

You guys think there will be a change once Pujols contract is over?

>kole leadoff home run
>2 on nobody out
I mean this is the Rangers after all

if we lose 8-7 ill be happy

I JUST WANT SOME FUCCKING OFFENSE

If Tommy slams this I take back everything I said

>la Stella is our starting 2b
Are you we even trying to compete this year?

> be Edinson Volquez
> get spotted 5 run lead
> Immediately start fucking up
Kek

Jahmai Jones is a year away. Might as well weather that storm too

rangers have the worst starting pitching in the league and it's not particularly close. angels have good starters, they're just injured every year it seems

Matt Harvey doesn't belong on any team's rotation. Sucked with the Mets, sucked with the Reds. He won't do well on a team counting on him to be their #2

Harvey is a gas can

And when they're injured the replacements they bring up are usually pedestrian and don't help Trout's return bid to the playoffs at all. Tired of this team's medical staff.

he's not supposed to be a #2 here. he's a professional pitcher, he'll give you 5 innings every time out. that's what we need during this rebuilding phase, just a stop-gap

>Angels are tanking
>Ducks have tanked
At least I have the Chargers?

They'll have another $25M to spend. Whether they use it or use it wisely is an entirely different matter. If their next wave of prospects don't work out, they are probably in a lot of trouble.

Probably more than that with the TV deal. I've learned that money doesn't buy championships the hard way though.

Is Elvis a top 10 Ranger of all time? Name 9 better. Pudge, Juan, Beltre, Rogers, Ryan, Young, Greer, Palmeiro...??? I mean it's a shit franchise but still a great achievement.

B-REF has him at 11 on the franchise WAR list, though bWAR is calculated a bit differently than fWAR. Over the long haul they mostly seem to come in around the same number, give or take a few. They have Buddy Bell, Charlie Hough, Jim Sundberg, Ian Kinsler, and Toby Harrah ahead of him along with a few other guys on your list. Just ahead of Hondo.

i still believe we'll win this game. single by single we will wear them down

>Simmons our with an undisclosed injury
Atleast I don’t have to wait until August to stop watching

Did Trout stay to make his numbers appear godlike bc he is surrounded by shit?

His undisclosed injury is him hitting like willie mays hays

Arte Moreno ruined this team. Signing Vernon Wells was the start of the downfall. I don’t think we’ve had one good signing since

At least Moreno tried the spend route. I'll take that over moneyball shenanigans

I miss you ohtani-san

Sounds about right. Play 20 years on a team whose pitching is so shit that 3-4 times a week the opposing team is bringing in position players to pitch for entertainment value because they're up by double digits

Fucking Zack Cozart. Career best before signing with the Angels.
>1 for 20 this year
>miss last year bc made of glass

1 for 21 Cozart! Thats .047 fucking nigger.

Could be worse, you could be a Angels-Lakers-Raiders-Kings fan like me. I don’t know how many more L’s I can take please send help.

He finessed the Angels so bad. Angels gave Upton a 5/100+ contract. They’ll throw money at anything l that’s moves. I forgot to ad theyr also paying Matt Harvey 11 mill this year

Perfect. make sure trout comes up with no one on base

Oh my fucking God. Send that nigger back to the Bush leagues

fuck you anaheim

Simba is hurt? Yeah, checking out. Ohtani's going to be fun to watch when he returns. Guy's the life of the team down the road.

The Raiders are doing some good things this offseason. I just hope the Queefs crash and burn so the AFCW runs through California for once.

I think it is mostly that they put a number on the table that he found agreeable.

Cozart was okay with the bat the two years before that career year. Supposedly the original plan was Cozart for 2B and Moustakas for 3B, but they got Kinsler dirt cheap and went that way.

3 years was too much. He's a glove, not a bat. I like Eppler but his free agency moves haven't been the best save hitting the jackpot on Shohei

Lemonade, Lemonade, Churrrrrrrroosssssssss

I'm sure Eppler put together a good sales pitch, but the Angels really were the only team on the west coast that would use him exactly how he was used in Japan and had a large bonus pool. I'm sure Mike Trout didn't hurt, either, but Eppler didn't draft him.

woo

I can’t believe Pujols is still in the league

This team really makes me sick sometimes

Not losing by enough, let's kick the ball

>these boos
Depressing.
