There is a sentient being that floats around major league baseball. She bounces around from club to club, sometimes in two places at once, sometimes in none at all. Tonight, she resides with Oakland. I am, of course, talking about the Lady 500. Lately, it seems the Angels have been friend-zoned by the good Lady. The team gets close, tantalizingly so, but in the end, they are rejected time and time again.
Thursday night it was the pitching and the defense to go. There’s no beating around the bush, Tyler Skaggs was horrific. On a night that the bullpen needed him to go deep, he couldn’t.
