Too many bad relievers on this team. Otherwise it would have been a win.

Yea, but next game the SP could give up 6 in the 1st inning, get pulled, and the relievers will come through, allowing us to lose, 8-2.

So, there’s that.

Until fans stop supporting Moreno and he loses money then maybe things will change.

He can’t lose money because of the TV contract. The worst he can do is break even, and that is the plan.

This whole thing with the Angels and the stadium, is just an investment. He purchased the team for $180 million, and it is now has an estimated value of $2.025 billion.

He paid $150 million for the stadium that was worth an estimate $500 million at the time of purchase in 2019. He won’t even pay the $150 million being that it is defered so long and with stipulations that interest on the money he is holding will eventually pay it off itself.

Well, I tumble outta bed and stumble to the kitchen
Pour myself a cup of ambition
Yawn and stretch and try to come to life
Jump in the shower and the blood starts pumping
Out on the street, the traffic starts jumping
With the Angels and us losing 9 to 5

You would think having a Dad as a top notch baseball player would have given him a little more insight into the game.

It feels like he is talking down to us to ‘teach’ us the game. I don’t like it.

The guy in the Angels dugout with his mask below his nose reminds me of that submarine with a screen door.

This umpire’s calls are completely random.

This reliever the Ms have, with a 2.6 ERA? Not bad. I wish we could get guys like that.

I hear the Doyers have a vet 1b who just cracked his 9th HR they just picked up off waivers for the MLB minimum.

Whenever you bring the closer into a non-closing situation this is always what happens. Even when the Angels are hitting.

When the going gets bad, Sutton starts talking about crickets inside his house.

Where other people have termites or cockroaches, Don Sutton’s Son has crickets. And what a racket!

I didn’t see that metaphor, and you’re correct. But still: he’s DON SUTTON’S SON!
