Does the Angels Sweep of the Red Sox.........?

Question

finally show that they are the best team in baseball this year

their pitching staff is amazing and their bats are all consistent..first team to 60 wins this season

so does anyone else think that they are the best team in baseball??

Answer 1

Currently, the Angels are the best team in baseball. People seem to forget about them because they don't have the personality that other teams have and keep them in the spotlight (like the Red Sox and Yankees). Their pitching staff is amazing and can keep them in any ball game against any team.

To make them World Series favorites though, they need another big bat in the lineup. They can't live by just scoring 3-4 runs every game, no matter how good the pitching is. If they can add a bat before the trade deadline, they will be favorites to win it all.

Lets also remember that it is only July and you can't predict when a big injury will come to a top tier player.

Answer 2

Yup great job LA wait to sweep the "best team in baseball" haha bs, finally show the red sox true colors.  Angels are going to be a tough team to beat. Vlad's been tearing the cover off the ball.

Answer 3

You can make a case for the Angels being the best team in baseball (and I would say they probably are right now) but I don't think a sweep at home against the Red Sox proves anything...the Sox are horrible on the road this year...I am just hoping the Sox don't get swept up in Seattle...they already lost 2 of 3 there this season.

Answer 4

They scared me yesterday when Vlad. missed that fly ball in the sun.I agree with you that they are very well rounded.

Answer 5

Doesn't mean that much when the sweep was in LA and the Sox didn't have Big Papi.

Answer 6

The sweep of the Sox was really good for the Angels but there is still a lot more baseball to be played. They are hot at the moment but it is still undetermined who the best team in baseball is this year. Having said that, the Angels are a dangerous team and it does scare me a bit to think that if my Yankees win the Wild Card, they will most likely have to face the Angels in the first round.

Answer 7

of course it does!! I mean everyone knows champions are crowned in July! Right???

Answer 8

Hands down the BEST team.

Answer 9

I believe that they are. They added a starter and a bat and that is just what they were lacking. I'm no Angels fan, as they've hurt my Yankees in the postseason too many times, but I'm admitting now that the Angels are the best team in baseball. I won't be surprised to see my Bombers go against LAA in October again this year.

And you're wasting your time trying to get Red Sox fans to admit anything that has to do with ANY team being better than theirs.

Answer 10

I think the Red Sox are a little shorthanded without a big slugger,but as of now they are the hottest team in baseball. If they win the world series, they will be the best team.

Answer 11

Tough to say, it's like they are just really solid. They aren't great at any one thing but they are pretty good at everything. I thought Boston was but seeing as they have struggles against Angels and Rays this year I would have to say so. The Angels may surprise people come playoff time.

They are 1-5 against Angels. So the people saying the home field is the difference is bull. I would say right now it's Angels, BoSox, Rays (until they can prove they can beat Sox on their turf).

Answer 12

I have to say that the Angels have great pitching, but the only reason that they have 60 wins is because of the division they're in the AL West. If they were in a division like the East, they would probably have a third of the wins they do now. Beating the A's, Rangers, and Mariners doesn't mean that much.
