Takeaways

The plague has struck
Whatever tiny bit of momentum the Angels got from picking up a game on Texas in this series feels like it has been ground to a halt by all of the recent bad news about the general health of the team. Albert Pujols is going to be stuck at DH for the rest of the season because he’s got foot and knee problems, again. Matt Shoemaker’s now dealing with a forearm strain. Oh, and Johnny Giavotella has some bizarre palsy where he gets double vision whenever he moves his head, which is kind of a problem for someone who hits a baseball for a living.
