Maxi sure has gotten more cerebral since his concussion. I think he understood Mota’s every word.

Independent League = Prison league

Attack the largest person you can find…inmates will assume that you are crazy and fear you.

Welp if you’re going to hit someone , make sure you hit the biggest human being on the diamond.

That is why the bring these guys up…to just DFA them….not sure why, but this appears to be the plan going forward.

I believe the technical term is to throw spaghetti against the wall, to see if anything sticks.

The Angels org thrives on activating / acquiring retread pitchers: they look shiny new but are just a blow out waiting to happen.

Ward is the defensive replacement. Yikes.

Don’t forget ERA doesn’t matter….other than hitting a guy in the head he’s lights out.

Please do whatever quickly. This one run inning seems to have taken forever.

Its a horse race between Iglesias and Lagares as to who swings at the most pitches out of the strike zone.

I am digging Stassi immensely. Call me a front runner, if you like.
