I think if they keep taking 2 out of 3 they'll catch the Astros sometime around May, 2023.
Good to win series especially against good teams, but they need a win streak sometime.
We(?) have gone through a bad streak...IF the M's are as good as we hoped, that will be it. The Astros will come back to us, but will we be there, is the question for me. Every good team goes through at least one rough patch, if not more. 2 weeks ago the Angels were going to run away with it...
The Ms have had solid stretches and they've had a horrific slump. What they haven't had yet is a streak. They haven't had more than two hitters hot at any one time yet. There's a lot rhey haven't done yet but they're still in decent position. They have a way better lineup and rotation than last season.
I think it's still coming. The Angels have shit pitching. An injury or two in the lineup and they could find themselves back with Oakland at the end.
Agree. They are due to go on a run. I am hopeful because they just won 3 road series without Haniger and Lewis. When Murphy went out, he was hitting .303 and Raleigh was lost. Now, Murph isn’t a .300 hitter, but if Raleigh gets it figured out, that’ a solid platoon… add those 3 back in the mix and the line up gets a lot longer. Ray is currently their 5th starter, performance-wise, and he will get it figured out.
My big concern right now is that apparently the book on France and Julio is to pitch them in, hard. That is a broken wrist / finger waiting to happen, or worse…Suarez as well. And, as always, the bullpen.

Yeah as DNC pointed out once, the biggest threat to France producing like he does is an injury from getting plunked.
On the other hand, consistently pitching inside to those three will put a fair number of balls in the seats which would be nice.

Lewis is always hurt. He will always be a "what if" guy.

He has an mpact every time he gets healthy though. If he's always going to be oft injured and cheap but gives them a boost at the right times I'd take it.

Sounds like a third baseman I used to know of…DH for life
