a rough stretch

Rock bottom territory. Going 0-7 lately. That drags everything down. And last night's loss by 3 drags the score down.

Angels News

The Los Angeles Angels are feeling the chill of a brutal stretch, now 1-6 in their last seven games, as they fell to the Philadelphia Phillies 5-2. With a record of 52-84, their playoff hopes are long gone, but the looming threat of free agency looms even larger following MLB's latest CBA proposal, which could cripple their already struggling roster. Adding to the woes, rookie George Klassen heads to the injured list, further depleting a pitching staff that has seen better days. Yusei Kikuchi did show glimpses of promise with a solid seven-inning outing, but inconsistency has plagued the team. As the front office prepares for an uncertain future, the shadow of past costly contracts, like that of Anthony Rendon, looms large, leaving fans to wonder just how deep the issues run within this franchise.
