I’m losing Bally Sports West in the next few days as my cable provider is discontinuing the package plans now offered. I guess too that the Disney-Spectrum feud will last awhile too.
What an expensive mess is coming our way as we all will be upwards of $300 per month having to purchase individual streaming channels down the road. The televiewing landscape is changing rapidly.
Yoshinobu Yamamoto pitched 7 shut out innings striking out 9, scattering 4 hits, and winning his 13th game yesterday. His ERA is measly 1.34, clearly the best NPB pitcher this season again. Mets were rumored to have already started negotiating with the Orix organization, followed by the Yankees, Red Sux, and Dodgers showing strong interest in him. Many scouts think that his splitters are better than those of Kodai Senga, who is in his first year of $15 MM x 5 yr contract. The only question mark is whether Yamamoto can handle 5 man rotation, 162 game schedule, and stress of long flights/time difference in the US.
It is unfortunate that the Angels (Moreno) have not been willing to spend $$ on TORP, stating that they only play every 6th day.
Well, can’t say I blame anyone on the masthead for not wanting to do a post game write up of that game. “Cy Sears and the Vegas Athletics crush the Angels in a game played in Oakland”
My top two quotes of the year are : “We can’t go chasing wins every night” and “I still have unfinished business “. I’m thinking his “unfinished business “ has more to do with the stadium property than the team.
It’s impossible to achieve the levels of incompetence that Arte and his Platypus have without trying. Since we couldn’t even dump players to clear payroll correctly, tanking to improve draft position becomes even more important.
Team Tank endorses losing to the hapless Las Oakland Vegas A’s
I’m deeply concerned that Team Tank just means that in August of 2024 Arte and Perry are going to give away the high draft picks won by tanking in return for players at the trade deadline that the Angels are just going to waive a few weeks later, leaving the Angels with nothing to show for their tanking efforts.
Shit! Just saw that. Another total cluster-f by this awful Organization.
Here’s what was Wei about how it affects the Organization if Ohtani leaves:
“CBT payors also receive reduced compensation for losing qualified free agents. The Angels are going to make a qualifying offer to Shohei Ohtani, which he’ll decline. If he subsequently signs elsewhere, the Halos would receive a compensation pick after the fourth round in the 2024 draft. That’s typically around the 140th overall selection. Had the Angels gotten under the threshold, the compensatory pick would’ve landed between Competitive Balance Round B and the third round — approximately 70th overall.”
Will he be here in 2024? But in the end, doesn’t matter who’s driving the TANK anymore. Because in reality, the TANK is driven on Autopilot, by……..trAdition. 😀
Look at the box score and check out the ERA for the relievers for tonight’s game. Everyone is mid to high 5’s and they keep running these jokes out there. Arte still hasn’t figured out how important pitching is, and without it you can’t win squat.
I have yo ask…will there be a gamethread and/or postgame today?
Game thread
One of us signed up to do postgame. One of us signed up for last night’s postgame. Sometimes shit happens.
Thank You!!
Todays Lineup:
Schanuel 1B
Ohtani DH
Drury 2B
Moustakas 3B
Rengifo RF
Moniak CF
O’Hoppe C
Cabbage LF
Paris SS
Canning SP
I think we have another win for TEAM TANK with that lineup.
Long game.
There was a glitch in the matrix.

I lost televised Angel games way back when Dish and FOX couldn’t get it together.
Haven’t missed them at all between you all here, AM 830.com, and MLB Lameday.
Pitching

That is all.
Better pitching means more 3-2 losses. And Less 9-2 losses. 😀

That is all we will do until Arte sells the team.

Arte’s refrain should be: Now I know it’s my own damn fault.
Can’t believe this is what his unfinished business consisted of.
what a money quote when they pulled back on the sale.

165 days till pitchers and catchers report.
Halo alone in 10th place for worst record.
We were tied for 10th…so that’s progress.
Schanty Sucks!
Can’t even get a hit.
i went to paris and it sucked.

Halos currently sitting with the 11th worst record. The Padres should pass them but need a healthy swoon to get to the 6th spot (lotto fever).
A’ss has a better team than us, right now they are playing better than us, we can lose the next two. This organization is built to quit now.
Keep hope alive. Drive that TANK. We can do it!

I need my postgame in the morning man!!!
This is the game that never ends.
I assume you also saw the news that we still failed to get under the luxury tax threshold too!
What? I thought the team did get under.
Shit! Just saw that. Another total cluster-f by this awful Organization.

there’s another twatter post where some experts think the Angels made it. We shall see. This isn’t finished as of yet.
Just when you think……..
Well, there goes the sweep!

Reliever ERA is a completely unreliable metric.
Come with us and join the Actual Runs Allowed per Batters Faced (ARA/BF) revolution, my brother!
I see no one has the pep to do a postgame thread
Harris?
Pep-to-bismol.
Heartburn, Upset stomach, Dia’Barria.
