Kudos to gNats for winning tonight at only one game behind the Angels.
Kudos to Guardians for winning tonight tying Angels W/L record.
Disappointed with Tigres for losing now falling 3 games behind the Angels.
Disappointed with Mets for losing now falling 3 games behind the Angels.

Jordyn Adams is the leadoff hitter at Las Vegas tonight, currently at bat as I am typing this. Phillips, Martinez, Fletcher, Padlo, and Plummer are on the lineup. So, we will probably see Rengifo playing CF with  🐙  playing SS. Unless Detmers throws CG shut out game, we have no chance tomorrow.

With Silseth on IL and Giolito most likely be claimed, the Angels will have lost 3 SPs in a matter of a week. That means that Rosenberg will have to be inserted in SP spot just to maintain 5 man rotation.

Now Dominic Leone has been added to the waiver list. From the short time he was with the Angels, he was probably the least effective reliever compared to Moore and Lopez, but it is likely some team will dip their toe with him.

MLBTR reports that Tyler Anderson was placed on waivers last week, but no team claimed him.

somehow 63-70 sounds a LOT worse than 63-69.

If players are claimed on waivers, can’t the Halos pull them off and arrange for a trade? I have never said this before, but I am having a very difficult time following the team of late. It is really time for big-big-big time changes to youth.

The one waiver name, Moore, I do not understand, but then he has been very good this year, why not get him to a winner.

Not anymore . Only waiver claims and minor league deals are allowed after the trade deadline.

I think this changed during the last CBA

They save $7M against the luxury tax if they dump all the players waived today

but they only need to save $4 to $5 million to get below the CBT threshold . Which would allow them to go over next year without paying a repeater tax

Hope you are right..and he’s been impressive…..but, the pitchers will adjust.
Lets hope he then will adjust.

Nolan, Neton and O’hop, are some nice young pieces.

Yes, small sample. He has struck out only 4 times and walked 7 times in 9 games. Slash line of 0.333/0.500/0.370 as of yesterday, pretty good for someone who just got drafted few months ago.

Only 4 K’s in 9 games? That’s about a typical Renfroe kinda night.

Schanuel with a double! Marsh with an error which scored another meaningless run.

I stand corrected, sir. Should have gone back to the first sentence when Marsh made that errant throw.

I don’t see how any of the coaching staff returns next year. So many players are below their average performance expectations So may injuries. So many terrible in game coaching decisions

If Matt Wise is back, I’m out. I’ll draw the line there.

Tyler Anderson can be put on waivers too but I’m sure whomever claims him will get the 2022 Anderson.

I’m sure you know that Rendon has another three seasons left on his contract as well?

Of course I know Anderson has two years left on his contract. I don’t want to watch that bum pitch in Angels uni the next two seasons tho. 😂

I will now wonder if Jordyn Adams will play tonight at Las Vegas. Moniak has back pain according to Terry Smith.

Moniak needs to be careful. He’s not guarenteed a job next year based on what he’s doing.
