a rough stretch

Tough week to look at. Winning just 2 of 7 this week pulls the temperature down. Making it worse, last night's 3-run loss is fresh and it shows.

Angels News

The Los Angeles Angels' bleak 54-89 record, highlighted by their recent 1-0 loss to the Pirates, marks another step in a season already defined by disappointment. With playoff dreams dashed for the twelfth consecutive year, the focus shifts to a potential ownership change with Stan Kroenke on the horizon, which could breathe new life into the front office and set the stage for a transformative offseason. Amid the struggles, rookie Moisés Ballesteros shone with his first career three-hit game, offering a glimmer of hope in an otherwise tough series against the Red Sox. As the team prepares to face Boston, the spotlight will be on the potential signing of Japanese ace Kaima Taira, whose addition could dramatically reshape the pitching landscape. The Angels' future remains uncertain, but moments like Ballesteros' performance give fans a reason to cling to optimism.
