We all knew Adell was going to ship out and we all felt that a knew surrounding might bring out his full potential and that is exactly what has happened and there should be no one who doesn’t wish him the best, Adell doing well, Marsh doing well, the Angels just seem to show that they need help in coaching and teaching and working what players to get the max from them, Go Mo!

I don’t see this idea that Adell has done so much better now that he is not on this team. He hasn’t. He is doing with Cleveland what he did here. Beat the pulp out of LH pitching and totally bad against RH pitching. I read elsewhere that his first 10 games with Cleveland against RH pitching he hit .161. He is hitting RH pitching, nothing else.

I also don’t see this idea that Marsh is so much better in Philly. I think he would be the same here. He just has a few more years under his belt. I has 3 times more AB against RH pitching than LH. That isn’t coaching, that’s just platooning because you can see the data. Put your player in the spot that they play best.

Wish them both the best. But to me they are just ordinary players. Ordinary here ordinary there.

Marsh and Adell could have been a decent Platon in RF for the last 3 years if we knew what we were doing.

to be fair… Wade Meckler has a higher WAR than Marsh

You are forgetting to automatically subtract 2 WAR at all times because Perry is so stupid. It’s like how not having Soth make in game decisions anymore is worth 5 wins a year for the team.

I can’t remember when he got called up but he started the year at SLC and came up I think when Lowe was sent down.

I’m happy to see that Guzman & Moore are now starting most of these games, though it would be nice if the latter could clear the Mendoza Line over the next month.

Klassen, though he struggled a bit, still battled thru it and allowed the team a chance to win. At least theoretically. Following his previous start – which was near perfect -regression was likely, but, he didn’t completely fall apart. I consider that to be progress. Significant progress in fact.

Yeah, Trout’s power has fallen off a cliff over the past couple of months. His flagging batting average was somewhat tolerable when he still possessed prodigious power, but, now? It’s sad to witness.

And yet, he continues to lead the team in OBP by a significant margin.

He really has an August swoon, doesn’t he? Once upon this season he was on pace for 45 HRs. Now he’ll be lucky to hit 30.

Have you checked out Colorado’s hot closer? Some guy named Jordan Romano who has saved 8 games against 1 blown save, allowed 4 runs over 15 appearances and hasn’t given up a home run yet. I wish we had him … oh, wait …

Horrible headline designed to get clicks. And I hope Logan doesn’t really feel that way. His work in the community and interacting with kids was incredible. Off the field he is a great guy.

And on the field he had his moments. Just not enough of them.

Klassen looked like a normal young pitcher last night. Allowed too many runners and was less efficient. But it was still a solid start, kept his team in the game. No complaints there.

I am encouraged by the signs of life from Josh Lowe. If he can keep hitting through the end of the season not only will it set him up to have success melt away during a long lock out, but it will also torture some Angels fans who will continue to complain about him as his 30 game wRC rises.

Christian Moore. I’d really like to see him do some good stuff. They were smart and left him and Rada in SLC. I really hope to see that pay off next season at some point.

Jo Adell looks good in a Guardindians uniform. He looks the same when he strikes out though….

I also would say that Moore looks much more comfortable at 2B since his return.

KC played themselves out of the tank race with their 9 game winning streak.

As long as we hold off SF we’ll secure top 3 lottery odds

They had a top six pick in 2026 so I think no (as long as they are considered a large market team).

I forgot about this. I think KC’s winning streak then puts us in really really good shape.

Do we still need to be bottom 3 if SF is in the bottom or does 4th worst take the place of SF in this scenario? I forget how the odds play out.

no.

SF becomes the 10th team. So whoever has the 5th worst record basically gets the 4th best odds

Awesome, so then yeah we are in pretty good shape. Now 7.5 games ahead of KC and securely in ultimate tank position.

We might even be able to start hoping for a non-100 loss season now.

I just really want to get in front of the A’s for waiver wire priority. This could be a particularly good year to have first pick of the talent the Dodgers, Rays, and Brewers will not be able to keep as the Rule V draft rolls around.

And I double checked the deadline to set rosters is prior to the end of the CBA so those cutdowns will happen.

Do we think the A’s are a threat in the Rule 5 draft? Don’t they have a much better roster and farm than us already? Or are the potential Rule 5 exposed guys still likely an upgrade to their active roster?
