the season is just getting started

Just 7 games into the season. A rough patch, by the numbers. Lost by 4 last night. Hard to shake that off immediately. Pair that with down 4 in run differential this week. That's significant.

Angels News

The Los Angeles Angels are feeling the heat after a lukewarm start to the season, sitting at 3-3 following a disappointing 6-2 loss to the Cubs, where manager Kurt Suzuki’s inability to challenge a key play at the plate cost them dearly. The search for stability continues at third base, as Jeimer Candelario's uneven performance leaves the front office scrambling for a more reliable long-term solution. Meanwhile, the Angels' track record of developing young pitchers remains a cause for concern, exemplified by the recent demotions of Walbert Urena and Victor Mederos. The team's xwOBA of just .299 and 20.7% hard-hit rate reveal an offense struggling to find its rhythm. As they gear up for another matchup against the Cubs, it’s clear the Angels need to step up their game if they hope to turn the tide before the season slips away.
