A month into the season Mike Trout is hitting 223.322.563 and Jo Adell is hitting .333.392.600. Who called that? Happy to see Jo succeeding.

Too small of a sample size.

Bummer. Think problem is we have a group of guys that have shown spurts of being really good but consistently aren’t. A lot of us had high hopes for this group. Too bad Perry didn’t address this and get help, specifically pitching. Wash looks clueless

Why would you have high hopes? The team won 73 games the last 2 seasons with Ohtani who left and wasn’t replaced to any extent.

True but It’s baseball, sometimes things can roll your way. I’m sure you wish you put a hundred+ spot on Arizona to make the WS last year.

Maybe time for another meeting? I had to miss. I hope all of you enjoyed hanging out together even considering the game.

it’s only the 7th.

For those still here who think this might be interesting, at this pace (assuming we won’t overtake the Twins tonight, we’ll go 60-102.

With a lost that’d be 8 of the last 9, 13 of the last 17.

what is Trout waiting for to request a trade? I used to feel bad for him but now I know he had to always know Arte was a cheapskate. All the stories coming out about like Pujol’s rehab equipment. Him not even paying for breakfast…. Enjoy being in CF on a 100 loss team.

Given his recent lack of success at the plate we’d be trading low.

Should the Angels entertain deals for like Detmers even? Like they only have him for 3 more years. It’s really hard to see the Angels be competitive in that timeframe. Have to imagine they could get a lot of depth for him.

Trade Adell for a haul of pitching.

A little late calling this one. It was done the second Suarez took the mound.

yeh, I waited until we were down by 7. Still, Trout’s upcoming HR will be fun

Fulmer felt left out. He needed to boost his ERA.

Checking on the minor leagues, with the Angels taking all pitchers, I don’t see like any guys in full season ball that are doing well. Maybe Rada pans out but man he’s struggling. The rest of them are just playing baseball so that real prospects on other teams have someone to play against. It’s sad.

especially their foreign FA’s…. man some of them are doing so bad. When was the last time the Angels had a productive player from the IFA?

I see they released Maitan last year. Man the guys making the decisions have to be so bad. I was excited to see him play in low A right after the Angels signed him. I have never had my expectations slashed so much after watching a guy play in person just 1 day. He didn’t even look better than some guys playing coed softball…. Had absolutely no game sense. Said right then and there he would never advance past AA. Sure enough….

I appreciate everyone here that is making this game less painful. Except for this game, I hope everyone is having a nice evening.
