The problem with this LA Angels team isn’t the lack of talent, it’s the inability of the club thus far to tap into their own talent. The hitting has been on and off (mostly off), but can a home-stand against the Mariners give the Angels the strength to lift the albatross hanging from their necks?
The only team that is getting to the Angels more than anyone in the AL West are the Angels themselves. The lack of reliable starting pitching is one thing, but the hitting isn’t as it should be and that exact fact is what’s holding the Angels so deep in this muck.
