Latest news and updates about the Angels
There’s a lot of good and bad to the length of MLB’s 162-game season. On one hand, it can be long and arduous, making games at the beginning and end of the year feel much further apart. The season can feel endless if your team is down in the dumps. The benefits are that there’s […]
All is not well in Yankee-land. After taking their first three series on the strength of a stifling rotation, they’ve scuttled, dropping two of three to the Athletics before getting swept by the Rays. They’ll get the chance to rebound this week against an Angels squad that finished worst in the AL West last year […]
Jeimer Candelario is waiting for the phone to ring. He’s a fallen Angel. Pirates 4, Cubs 3. Edward Cabrera opposed Braxton Ashcraft. Both threw well enough, Ashcraft getting the upper hand this time around, with help from O’Neil Cruz, who had a Game. Two of the Cubs’ runs came in on groundouts, by Nico Hoerner […]
The Cincinnati Reds dropped the final two games of their most recent road trip as the Miami Marlins put it to them pretty heavily. Then, on Friday, the Los Angeles Angels came into Great American Ball Park and knocked around Chase Burns en route to a 10-2 win over the good guys. The Reds offense […]
The Cincinnati Reds return to Great American Ball Park after a pair of frustrating losses to the Miami Marlins ended their otherwise successful road trip. Chase Burns will take the mound as the Los Angeles Angels and Mike Trout are in town. First pitch on Friday is slated for 6:45 PM ET as the game […]
Jose Franco played the role of long man in the Cincinnati Reds bullpen through the first two weeks of the 2026 season. He’s a starter by trade – and a promising one, at that – but manager Terry Francona needed to lean on him in that role given the banged-up nature of the rest of […]
Iowa Cubs Rained out. Doubleheader starting at 5:08 tomorrow. Knoxville Smokies The Knoxville Smokies knocked the Rocket City Trash Pandas (Angels) out of orbit, 8-7. The Trash Pandas jumped all over Smokies starter Luis Martinez-Gomez with two runs in the first, one in the second and two more in the third. The final line on […]
Right before Wednesday’s series finale between the Atlanta Braves and the Los Angeles Angels, I got a chance to chat with former Braves reliever and current BravesVision TV analyst Peter Moylan. Moylan was gracious enough to share some of his time with us and so I got the chance to ask him some questions about […]
I think this series is our clearest evidence yet that 2026 should be a better year for the Atlanta Braves than 2025 was. Sure, it’s still very early and 13 games is only a small drop in the bucket of a full 162-game season but the Braves have already just gotten done doing something that […]
Okay, so technically relentless would be scoring in every inning, and the Braves only scored in five of the nine frames available to them, but hey — it worked just fine. The offense started early and didn’t stop until well past clobberin’ time, leading to an 8-2 victory over the Angels. Meanwhile, Grant Holmes did […]
The updated verdict is out for Los Angeles Angels’ Jorge Soler and Atlanta Braves’ Reynaldo López. Both players were initially set to receive a seven-game suspension following last night’s viral altercation, per Jeff Passan. However, after filing an appeal, less than an hour later, AJC Braves beat writer Chad Bishop reported that López had gotten […]
The Braves have been, perhaps disappointingly, even steven so far on their seven-game swing out West: they split a four-game set with the Diamondbacks, and then split the first two games of this series with the Angels. After some fisticuffs and go-for-the-throat bullpen management in a win last night, they have a chance to both […]
The Atlanta Braves evened the series on Tuesday night after a 7-2 win over the Los Angeles Angels. Reynaldo López got the start. He allowed two runs, walked two, and struck out seven. Things were going relatively well, and then it got a bit punchy (literally). In the bottom of the fifth, benches cleared after […]
In what was an otherwise routine and mostly quiet game on Tuesday night between the Atlanta Braves and Los Angeles Angels, a big time brawl broke out between Braves starter Reynaldo Lopez and former World Series hero Jorge Soler. Let’s set the stage. Earlier in the game, Lopez hit Soler in the hand with a […]
Dude. The Atlanta Braves are currently up 4-2 on the Los Angeles Angels in the bottom of the fifth inning during the middle game of their three-game series in Anaheim. The Braves will have to go without starting pitcher Reynaldo López for the remainder of the contest after he got thrown out for getting into […]
Over the past few days, it certainly seems as if all the positive momentum that came from the Braves 17-run outburst last Friday has basically evaporated. The Braves have lost three straight, including last night’s 6-2 loss to the Angels. Chris Sale had one of the worst innings of his career and the Braves offense […]
In the top of the first inning, Drake Baldwin homered again to give the Braves an early 1-0 lead over the Angels. Baldwin’s incredible sophomore campaign has been something to behold. And that’s where the fun ended on Monday night. Jose Soriano absolutely cooked the Braves for eight innings, allowing just the one run on […]
The Atlanta Braves face off against the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim in what looks to be a pitchers duel between the two staff aces. Chris Sale has only given up one run in his two starts, and José Soriano has yet to surrender an earned run this season in twelve innings. The Braves’ offense […]
The Atlanta Braves had a roller coaster ride of offense in Arizona, scoring seventeen runs in one game, but in the other two it was basically what seemed to be just Drake Baldwin carrying them. The offense is going to try and kick it back into gear against the Angels in another late game but […]
Good morning! A frustrating, extra-innings loss yesterday to the Los Angeles Angels capped off a tough away series for the Mariners. While a three-run home run by Cole Young was a highlight of the 7-8 defeat, the Mariners will look to put this series behind them and prepare to face the Texas Rangers. A three-game […]
Listen, I’m not saying it was destined, but you go up against a team called the Angels on Easter, and you’re probably gonna lose. A simple coincidence? Probably, but I think the much more likely scenario is that this game took place inside the halo for the Angels at the Big A. It’s no secret […]
Angels 8, Mariners 7 Reese’s eggs: Cole Young, .37 WPA Black jellybeans: José Ferrer, -.34 WPA Game thread comment of the day:
1974 The White Sox opened the season at home under freezing conditions versus the Angels and Nolan Ryan. Wilbur Wood started, which caused broadcaster Harry Caray to comment that the game was “The tortoise against the hare.” This time the hare won, as Ryan and the Angels got an easy 8-2 victory. The game did have its moments, however. […]
Angels 1, Mariners 0 Jo Adell on defense tonight: Emerson Hancock (+0.20 WPA) Jo Adell on defense every other night: Luke Raley (-.18 WPA) Game Thread Comment of the Day:
Here’s something I never thought I’d say: I am excited to watch Emerson Hancock pitch tonight. The Mariners look to win their first series of the season Saturday against the Angels. They won Friday’s opener 4-0 in a long, frustrating, 10-inning game that didn’t really get going until the end. The bats did eventually come […]
