LA Angels Thursday News Crash: Still With Us?

Tigers just blew a 1-0 lead in the 9th on a 3-run triple by the Rangers. The Cubs are on a long losing streak too. There are other terrible, awful, shitty no-good teams besides us, ya know.

Dear God, please help this team, we all know they need it.

  

Grandpa – 2 days ago you said you had nothing left to say. Now every second post is from you 😂

If you were the GM, would you for 2023 like to see Trouty move to RFor LF? Maybe move him to 1st and put Walsh in the OF? OF of Walsh-Marsh-Ward doesn’t soud bad. Or an Outfield of Trout/Marsh- Trout/Marsh-Ward/Adell. Marsh is just like Walsh, having a hard time with hitting lefties. So, what about trading for Mancini, plays both corners and 1b? What would you do?

Machado doing so well in San Diego is a ball-buster for me. 2 years prior to him becoming a FA I zeroed in on hoping we would get him. Then the Dodgers picked him up when Seager was injured, but with Seager returning and having Turner at 3rd he became a FA. But we passed and a former employee of the Angels would later tell me, there were those that thought he was a head case an a “Gang-Banger”. Well, the very next year we got the most expensive 3rd in history and you know the rest of the story. Arenado is going to be on the market this coming off season, but why would we pay 70 million a year for 3b. Interesting how things turn out to woulda, shoulda scenarios and hindsight is 20-20.

I do hope that Rendon finishes his contract on the upbeat, that would help us out a lot.

I can see the MFNYY vs SD Padres in the WS. That would be cool, both have the pitching.

Unless there are some opt-Outs, the coming up Free Agent class is weak at best. SS does not offer anyone, but Trea Turner and you know the Dodgers will not let him go. Correa is paid 35mil per in Minnesota and likely will not Opt-Out. Swanson may end up a FA though that depends how much the Braves want him. Why down at the bottom of the list is Simmons who last night played 2B for the Cubs. Not suggesting we pick him up as a starter, but a very interesting bench player. Simmons would also fit our budget.

Anyone interested in going to HRD or ASG?

Tickets still available and yes they’re expensive

When Rendon is playing well, here are reasons to like him:

Just a humble guy (sounds familiar)

Fishfarm, What WAR does he need to achieve with us before we can anoint him too??

Between tonight and June 29, we play 8 games against the Mariners, 3 against the Royals, and 3 against the White Sox. We need to go about 11-3 in these 14 games to redirect the season back to a good path. But I am sure that Mariners, Royals, and White Sox fans are saying, “great, we get to play the Angels, let’s hope we can sweep them.”

I know that we have injuries but some of the roster decisions are baffling.

Has Rendons wrist been the same since he hit that left handed home run?

Ty Buttrey cleared waivers and was outrighted to SL.

Mid-June does not constitute a do-or-die series, relax folks and enjoy the peanuts and ale

This is a stiff left jab at our inept scouting and player development from mostly the last decade. Tony Gonsolin (Yeah as in Tuesday night’s starter) was a 9th Rd pick in the 2016 MLB Draft. He’s now 8-0 and now let’s review The Dodgers have since 2019 lost Yu Darvish, Alex Wood, Hyun Jin Ryu, Zack Greinke, Trevor Bauer, and Max Scherzer without as much as a hiccup. That’s a All Star starting rotation there Buttercups THEY SEEM TO SHIT OUT GOOD PITCHING LIKE A ELEPHANT….
 💪  💪  💪  💪  😠  💩 ……BYE!!!!

The Pandas are the center of this organizations universe.

Future plans for the AA Panda pitchers? Will they promote the studs to AAA when ready? Or use AA as a holding pen and let them jump straight to the big club like Detmers, Silseth. Temps are rising along with the runs being scored at AAA not the best environment to develop.

Boy, oh boy, why was I so naive to believe 87-90 wins? We sure had fun at the start though, so there was that. Starting pitching is better, but the Blowpen may have different names, it remains the same. But how can the offensive game plan have fallen so fast and so bad? I can’t believe that anyone, but the players can be responsible.

I’m still here, just waiting for a new owner,GM, manager, coaches, team and while we’re at it a new stadium and who knows maybe located in tim-buck-to

ok, this set will determine where we go, up or down. A bad series and the season is over. A bad series and Perry will trade people away. I know…how can it get worse if we already have four or five automatic outs in the lineup?

But anyway….if we take 4 of 5…let’s see…29-35… then 33-36. Yeah, if we get to 33-36 we’ll have some hope. I think anything worse than that and I might have to become a doomer.

Team Doom & Gloom all present and accounted for. Let’s lose 5!

?w=525
He’ll be fired too at season’s end or maybe sooner if the second half results in total freefall. EVERYBODY XCEPT THE 3 TOP STOOGES WILL BE GONE AND YES, WE ARE MLB’S VERSION OF THE 2016-2019 CLEVELAND BROWNS.
 😠  💩  💩  😢
