LA Angels Wednesday News Crash: Hot Potato Blame Game

November 12, 2025

Morning Angels fans. Have some links or whatever.

Angels News

Oh no, there is actual Angels news. Angels VP says MLB was involved in treating Eric Kay’s addiction, which MLB denies. Sam Blum is enjoying this.

John Gibbons is the Angels bench coach. Adam Eaton the 1B coach. Robert Stephenson good news apparently, I don’t have twitter.

David Fletcher has retired. I miss him.

Around Baseball

MLB Managers of the year are same as last year. First time that has happened.

NL Standings since 2015. AL Standings since 2015. 2 games better than Baltimore. Somehow.

MLB and the players union have met. I expect nothing to happen.

Japan will use pitchcom for the first time. Guess with Ohtani and Yoshi pitching, they got the rest of the team to embrace the idea for the WBC.

The Brave Race the Freeze will have a new Freeze as they are holding auditions. Frozone wasn’t available at this time.

Anything I missed? Post below for upvotes!

Maybe MLB will threaten the Angels, just like they did Bryce Harper (Eyes rolling).

from 40 years in the corporate world, the smoothest and best liars were HR, and if you head up the department, that means you’re the smoothest and bestest liar there is.

No way did MLB know about Kay – and MLB is calling her out – she lies

And as Patton was born and destined to be there for WW2; likewise Sammy – he was made for this moment and this moment was made for him.

I don’t have an Athletic subscription. Did MLB testify in court that they never knew about Kay? Or did MLB testify that the Angels never told them about Kay?

MLB put out a statement denying knowledge – they aren’t at the trial

So not under oath. The denial doesn’t surprise me. Though not sure why it matters. The trial is about the Angels and not MLB.

I hear after losing out on the Managers job, Albert Pujols will be auditioning to be the new Freeze.

😆😆😆😆😆😆😆 Everyone wins! Just like the “Kid’s steal 3 rd base” at Angels Stadium. I can’t envision anyone not outrunning Plantar Pujols, even my old ass would.
