The joy of Shohei Ohtani, the greatness of Mike Trout, the wizardry of Andrelton Simmons, the pop of Justin Upton, the records of Albert Pujols. It all adds up to a pretty compelling team, and the promise of a pretty special summer.
It is not just that the Angels cannot win. They lost their fifth consecutive game, this one 5-3 to the Tampa Bay Rays on Saturday. They got six hits in a game the Rays did not even start a starting pitcher.
They have scored 10 runs in their last five games. They won their previous two games, each 2-1.
