2 games below .500 is the absolute cap for this team. They hit that mark and enter a tailspin every time.

Wade is almost Jesus Sanchez bad defensively. Pretty bad athlete for a big leaguer

That’s not to take any blame off Altuve. Just absolute horseshite from him on a routine play. Getting schlonged by the 2026 Angels in must win games is disheartening

The good news is its not too late to turn this team into sellers. Or at the minimum, stop the Braintrust from doing something really really stupid.

Maybe they'll do us all a favor this week and lose all 6 to fall out of the race and start the selling process. Being 7 out at the deadline makes a selloff easier to stomach.

Either make a run (unlikely) or fall completely out. Wish they'd make up their minds and pick a direction.

Altuves spray chart is just a straight line to 3rd base. His rapid decline is making it hard to love him.

At least Trammell gets us on the board. Too bad guys ahead of him aren’t good

Not saving the franchise half the time to turn this thing around by selling your assets for bona fide prospects IS really really stupid

Fred sanford’s son is ur 4 hole and Lucas Spence is ur starting CF. Half ur starters have been pulled after 1 inning

You can’t get to .500 to win ur division, much less win a playoff series

I mean, WTF are you waiting on?

For Crane? Yes it is. We’d need to get swept in Anaheim to have a chance of becoming sellers

Wade wiffs at ball 4. Altuve stares at strike 3 right down the middle.

These guys are shooting blanks tonight.

I know it’s the Angels, but Javier looked good tonight.

Of course, every time we think one of these guys has turned the corner they lay an egg the next time out.
