Angels miss postseason again, yet optimism reigns in Anaheim
ANAHEIM, Calif. (AP) - Given their extensive pitching injuries, a depleted farm system and several fairly big lineup flaws, the Los Angeles Angels got a whole lot closer to a playoff appearance than they had any right to expect at midseason. But another October absence during Mike Trout's prime will ...

Mike Trout says he’s happy with Angels’ direction, but questions will return this winter
Now that the Angels have suffered through a second consecutive losing season with Mike Trout, there is certain to be even more speculation that the team, for the good of the organization, should just start a rebuild by trading him.

A Mariners comeback win over Halos in 2017’s penultimate game means sub-.500 season
The Angels had a lead going into the eighth inning. Coming out of the eighth inning, they were losing 6-4 and that’s that and what more can I say when we’ve seen this game a dozen times? Angels 4 Mariners 6 The Angels blew another lead, late in the game, just like they did a few times in the past 7-10 days. What more is there for me to say about this type of game for the Angels, especially when it’s the penultimate game of the season and they’re already out of any playoff contention? The most crushing blow in this particular sham was watching Mike Trout, with bases juiced and two...

Angels Host Mariners for End of Season Party, Turn Out to be Rude Hosts
Is there no decency left in this world? The Mariners are throwing a going away party, which kicked off tonight! No one likes to party in the cold and the rain, so they asked their friends, the Angels, to host the party. How Angelic of them, right? Hahaha, WRONG! The Angels pretended to be friendly, welcoming, hosts; however, that proved to be nothing but deceit in the end. Mike Trout, being the polite young star that he is, offered start the soiree, launching a waste high changeup over the centerfield wall for his 200th career home run. #️⃣2️⃣0️⃣0️⃣...

Angels kick off last series of season with comeback win #47 over Mariners 6-5
Mike Trout hit a couple homers, but the Mariners still had a 5-2 advantage heading into the 8th. Then, the home town guys put on a classic Halo Blitz, for old time’s sake. Angels 6 Mariners 5 The 2017 Angels, if nothing else, really have a knack for turning the twilight frames of any baseball game into a too-close-for-comfort debacle, but they revel in that chaos, and many nights, when the whirling confusion stops, they find themselves on top of the heap. Well, that is until the last couple weeks, when having some sort of advantage in that unknown would have been a literal game-changer;...

Angels Notes: Mike Trout faces another season of the first-pitch dilemma
Two-time AL MVP says swinging at the first pitch sometimes puts him in a better position to be aggressive throughout an at-bat, but other times is a sign of him being too aggressive and getting himself out.

HumpLinks: Angels win in "Stat Padding Season"
Now that the Halos are all-but-eliminated, all the thunder in the lineup sneaks out of hiding to grab some milestone headlines before vacations begin.

For the second time in three seasons the Angels are the final AL team to be eliminated from playoff...

Angels Week 25 Rankings - Position Players
The good, the bad, and the meh - New guys good - old guys? Not so much I’ll cover the entire 40 man roster and will split it between position players and pitchers (generally 20 or so guys on each list). Each week the list will change based on the past week’s performance - but also taking into account their performance year to date. Summary Mike Trout may be heating up against after Sunday’s game, but too little too late. Sure he’s still good at getting on base, but he was out slugged by most of the team again this past week and only had 1 RBI. The rest of the team? Not much...
