Good morning Angels fans! Have some links!
Angels News
The Angels are good somehow. Yes, they won 3 in a row again, topped off by Jansen getting his 450th career save.
Jansen also surpassed Lee Smith for 5th all time in RP K’s. He has been so good for so long.
Also, the Angels are winning the AL West as of right now. And the best record in the AL. Better than the Dodgers.
Paris now has at least 20 total bases through the team’s first 10 games. Last time this happened for someone 23 or younger on the Angels was 2015 Mike Trout.
That’s not all, the AA Trash Pandas had their first Cycle ever with Cole Fontenelle. Everything is coming up Angels!
Around Baseball
Serious news. There was a ceiling collapse that killed at least 60 people in the DR. One of which was Octavio Dotel. Tony Blanco, a former Japanese League player, also died saving former Rangers player Esteban German. Over 160 people are said to be injured.
On a lighter note, Yeshiva University lost their 100th straight game. The D3 team has not won since 2022.
Look, Angels fans rightly hate Arte Moreno, but he isn’t the worst owner in baseball. Bob Nutting recycled bricks with fans’ names on them around the Honus Wagner statue at PNC park without telling anyone, only being found out by the recycling plant finding them.
The arbitration hearing in MLB suck. Your team basically is encouraged to trash your name to the judge so they can save money. Which is now known to include any “physical and mental defects”. That’s messed up.
Down south, the Padres are not doing so well health wise. Jackson Merrill is down, as is Jake Cronenworth, and Tatis Jr may also be injured. They need an OF now more than ever. Maybe they can ask for one for Easter.
Guess who has been the 2nd worst team in Baseball the last 50 games? The Twins! 13-35 is brutal. Or the AL Central is bad, as usual.
