Duran has been clutch in past in these types of moments. Puts it in play. Why didn't we let him hit?

Cuz Bochy is a terrible manager. His decision making has contributed just as much as anything to this rut we've been in, in the 2nd half.

Agreed. He's been awful. No better than Woodward, who sucked.

It's unbelievably depressing. Until we are eliminated from post-season, I'm sticking with Bochy and Co. We've been up and down starting June 1. Have to hold out hope that we can start winning games again.

Now we have to hope that we're just the Twinkies ***** and we'll start winning after they leave town tomorrow. The Twinkies have really hurt our playoff chances, confidence, and season.

They've pushed the dagger in real deep with 4 of our losses to them falling in the "frustrating to agonizing" loss category.

The Twinkies aren't anything special but we just can't seem to hold a lead on them and when they do get ahead of us, we just give up and crumble.

It is just who the Angels are:

I've mentioned this issue multiple times... at the Trade Deadline as well as, at the Sept1 deadline. Why some teams (like the Rangers) may not want to put in claims for Angels players. Angels needed to get under the CBT threshold and put up enough guys to get there.

Quote:
That'll apparently be the difference, as Fletcher adds that the Halos would've indeed gotten under the threshold had Grichuk been claimed. The Angels could theoretically still try to cut some spending by placing someone else on waivers.
Bad decisions chasing bad decisions leading to worse results.
Quote:
The Angels are going to make a qualifying offer to Shohei Ohtani, which he'll decline. If he subsequently signs elsewhere, the Halos would receive a compensation pick after the fourth round in the 2024 draft. That's typically around the 140th overall selection. Had the Angels gotten under the threshold, the compensatory pick would've landed between Competitive Balance Round B and the third round approximately 70th overall.

Angels Remain Narrowly Above Luxury Tax Threshold

Smith in for Duran today. Maybe Duran is dinged up and that's why Smith pinch hit for him late in the game yesterday?

Leody looks to be busting out his slump lately. Smoking the ball.

This is a large part of the losing ways. 2nd and 3rd and nobody out and we get NOTHING. Unable to add on to a lead once again. Will likely cost us.....again.

Serious question. How is Josh Smith still on the roster? He's now hitting a smooth .199. Is there nobody else at AAA that could do better?

Gray shoving. Probably means Bochy will pull him at 75 pitches next inning.

The short answer is no. We don't currently have someone on the 40 to replace him.

Your question is really about what role is Smith (25) playing?!

He is playing Util. We need someone who can play multiple positions.

WRT the 40, there are 3 options currently on the 40. Sam Huff (currently on Active), Ornelas (23), and Dustin Harris (OF-23).

We'd need to dump a player to make way for adding anyone you'd like to consider.

Damn. This game is trending like so many have lately. Rangers with an early lead, miss numerous golden opportunities to add on, and the bullpen blows it late. Not sure I can watch.

It's amazing how many times we can let a piss poor pitcher off the hook time after time. It's always one good inning and then blown opportunity after blown opportunity. No doubt the bullpen will blow this if the bats don't wake the **** up.

I know his positional versatility is valuable, but I'd be totally fine cutting him loose.
