Weird how few of these Pujols played in, in hindsight.
Cards @ Angels 7/21/26
Mitch Farris having a 3.67 ERA is shocking.
This team has had so many pleasant surprises. If the opening day roster wasn’t complete ass and we had a manager who would lean into the good surprises instead of trotting out the opening day roster, this year could have been competitive maybe.
Oh yeah, there is an alternative universe where this team is battling for the AL West.
Perry getting fired, a potential deadline firesale, and top lottery odds make all the losing worth it tho
but I also disagree about Farris, his number other than ERA are pretty horrid. He can’t get righties out to save his life. Over a 1000 OPS against them. That won’t play in a 3 batter minimum game.
You’re intentionally tempting fate with that comment. Kirby can still pitch.
If I wasn’t too lazy I’d be interested to see which teams have more pitching WAR from homegrown players than the Angels.
Detmers, Soriano, Urena, Silseth, Bachman, Natera, Fermin all easily on the positive side.
