Angels signal they’re in it to win it by trading for Justin Upton

This is bigger than Yu Darvish.

You might have wondered whether the Dodgers were trying their hardest to win the World Series, but you never had to wonder whether they were trying to win. The Dodgers were bound for October, with or without Darvish.

The Angels? Mike Trout, some wings and a prayer.

Angels erase 4-0 deficit but can’t hold off Astros in 7-5 loss

There’s only so much that can be asked of the best player in baseball.

The Angels should be able to withstand a rare hitting slump by Mike Trout, and even a leaping Trout couldn’t snag a lined shot with the sun in his eyes at a critical moment Sunday.

Maybe that’s what made a 7-5 loss to the Houston…

Vladimir Guerrero lightly winced when he anticipated the question coming.

It seems to hang over Guerrero wherever he makes public appearances: If he gets inducted into the Baseball Hall of Fame, will he wear an Angels cap or a Montreal Expos cap?

Angels broadcaster Jose Mota makes baseball and beisbol history

Jose Mota collected eight hits in the major leagues, none of them for extra bases. Cooperstown called the other day.

Not for one of his bats, to be sure. The Hall of Fame wanted the scorecard he used last weekend.

He had just hit a grand slam, as a broadcaster. He had called the Angels game on…

Angels can’t capitalize late in 2-1 loss to Astros

The joyful, carefree days of youth were easy to conjure upon looking at the Angels.

They wore Little League-inspired jerseys with nicknames on the back as part of a youth-based initiative by Major League Baseball.

Letters: Dodgers’ Rich Hill has the perfect attitude

Letters: Dodgers

When Harvey Haddix had his 12-inning perfect game wiped out of the baseball records books by a typically inane rule change, his response was simply, “That’s OK, I know what I did.” That same silly rule also renders Rich Hill’s game not be a no-hitter. I’m sure he knows what he did too.
