    Congrats to the Angels for only being back 12 games and winning their first series against Astros since 2015.

    ASB can't get here fast enough.

    Lol no slide there Springer? Maybin would've caught that...

    Turning this **** off now. We can't pick off base stealers, and can't steal bases ourselves. It's f*cking embarrassing. We have a killer offense right now and that's it. Good to know whenever we sell out games we lose. Such crowd pleasers we are.

    I don't think some of you guys are cut out to watch a 162 game season.

    Baseball teams lose... a lot. It's not pathetic or embarrassing, it's just the nature of the sport.

    But carry on panicking and being miserable every time something goes wrong.

    So did the Cardinals in 2015.

    The only "change" I recommended was swapping Centeno for Gattis. I never said blow up the team. I understand losing is inevitable, but constant sloppy play at home doesn't have to be.

    Criticism is healthy and part of the game. I want us to win the chip as much as you do. We won't do that playing like this.

    I don't expect to win them all. I know it ebbs and flows. Doesn't mean I have to be content seeing us hemorrhage runs to a troutless crap team in the 5th. We managed to take a 6-3 lead. It would have been nice to hold it for an inning or so.

    this is on everyone for making fun of the twins over used bullpen. Now the baseball gods retaliate.

    The baserunning has been pathetic/embarrassing.

    Angels just set their franchise record for most steals in a 3-game series.

    Crap series.The big lead is great to have but it sucks watching bad baseball right now with the injuries to the pitching staff.

    Just looked at the score. Is it safe to conclude that Astro pitching has completely collapsed at least in this game?

    Nothing says you have to wait until then to make trades.

    The starting rotation has been ravaged with injury.

    It's taking a toll on the bullpen.
