Over the first six games of this season, the LA Angels looked, well, pathetic. The club went 1-5 against division rivals in the Oakland A’s and Seattle Mariners.
The rotation was extremely inconsistent through these six games, with seemingly every starter having one exceptional start followed by a disaster or vice versa. And how little do we need to say about the offense? A combination of lack of talent and poor luck on batted balls contributed to averaging a puny 2.16 runs per tame. Even Mike Trout looked like an average player during this stretch, which is crazy by his standards.
