September 07, 2023 11:00 - 28 minutes - 25.8 MBThe Los Angeles Angels have lost 6 games in a row after being swept by the Baltimore Orioles, after Patrick Sandoval struggled once again.

September 04, 2023 11:00 - 29 minutes - 27.3 MBThe 2023 Los Angeles Angels may go on record as the biggest meltdown in MLB, and perhaps all of sports. After failing to unload their players on the waiver wire and get under the Luxury Tax for the purposes of not being penalized and getting a better draft pick should Shohei Ohtani not return, the word on whether or not they have is still questionable with the recent move of Max Stassi to the restricted list. But isn't this just indicative of how poorly the Angels have been run and performed...

Los Angeles Angels Waiver Wire Fire Sale: What Is Going On? 12-7 Phillies Loss, Halos Are Trend Setters?
August 30, 2023 11:00 - 29 minutes - 27.2 MBThe Los Angeles Angels essentially threw in the towel on the 2023 season on Tuesday, after it was announced that players like Matt Moore, Hunter Renfroe, Randal Grichuk, and Lucas Giolito were placed on waivers. What essentially amounts to a salary dump comes less than a month after the Angels went "all in," and the team's poor performance in August all but reduced their playoff hopes to 0%. It's a very Arte Moreno move, and while there is definitely nuance to the decision that does help put...

August 29, 2023 11:00 - 29 minutes - 27.4 MBThe Los Angeles Angels just can't seem to hold a lead the minute they get one, as evidenced by their loss to the Phillies on Monday night.

They might be forgiven for having a tough time against future Hall of Famer Max Scherzer, but it was more than that; it was the poor play on the field, the shoddy defense, and the mental mistakes that really made it hard to root for them.
