Angels out smashed by the A’s, drop 3rd straight game
Richard Mackson-USA TODAY Sports Perhaps there is a pattern here... In recent weeks, the Angels had won 3 in a row, lost 3 in a row, won 4 in a row, and now had lost 3 in a row. This is how you flirt with being an average team. They win just enough but then go on losing streaks. This is your 2019 Angels team.
I had been optimistic for the Angels offense going into this one, considering they knocked in 5 runs off Chris Bassitt last month. But the Angels couldn’t muster much off Bassitt today and have now scored only 4 runs over their past 3 games.
Perhaps we can blame this partially on home plate umpire Jordan Baker? Nah. But he did make some pretty terrible calls.
