I have two friends from Detroit and if they still lived nearby we’d be at this game. I miss those guys.

Would Torri Hunter take the Angels managers position?

I doubt it. Why would he want to hop on this tire fire?

I could actually see it since this would be his first gig. Who else would hire him for the same position, besides maaybe Minny.

Wash is “not good”, but there’s literally no manager that can this into a winning team. The talent just isn’t there

Perhaps Billy Martin, but he’s not available

1-9 in their last 10.

Anderson showing he is in fact better than Kevin I only signed this guy because his agent gave me a kickback Newman.

they’re not even terrible bench players, it’s just that they’re everyday players on this team

It’s easier just to say “keep Neto and O’Hoppe”

125 runs given up in 21 games. Losing is bad enough, but not even competitive.

Sure, let’s sign Tookie again. I’m sure he’ll figure out pitching this time.

I’m surprised he hasn’t sold by now. Arte likes the public thinking well of him. I can’t imagine now he can even go out in public without people calling him out on his bs.

Arte is surrounded by folks who their head so far up his ass they can play with his uvula….

Yep pay your best buddies from college big bucks to just defend you at every turn and tell you that you are awesome and that others are the problem. Can’t blame Carpino, I’d take a gig like that.

Is there some sort of petition or club or organization, or even collection of sports bars people hang out at that we can organize against Moreno, the Athletics fan base organized and it amounted to nothing, but it got the public opinion, is there like a parking lot near the stadium people can have tail gates where we listen to the game and shit talk Moreno and the team

Maybe Arte could use some of his billboards for advertisements/inquiries of a new hitting coach?

I think at this point they need to draft all bats until the last 2 picks.

They need to get rid of all their guys in charge of drafting and honestly just pick the top players available on like Fangraphs or Baseball America’s top draft lists. They’d save money and get better picks. Even Moore isn’t likely going to be a game changer, he just doesn’t make enough contact even on swings in the strike zone.

normally people say “I could do better” and you know they’re insane, because it is extremely difficult to run a pro sports team, but I know for a fact when it comes to the Angels and the Rockies I could do better, I’m not saying I’d get us a trophy, but I would definitely get us perennial wild card rounds for a decade within four years

yea Angels have no plan, even if they did, Arte wouldn’t fund it properly. They have a GM that has done horribly in FA.

They did that with Jo Adell. Yikes.

I heard they took Adell based on Trout’s advice.

and if Adell was in a good system I’d bet he would have had better results.

Reply to  MH252525

he’s an okay fourth outfielder, I legitimately like Adell and would keep him, but he’d be a pinch runner and a late-inning defensive substitution on any sane team, he should be subbing in the ninth for a Yordan Alvarez type guy

Wait wait wait…. teams are allowed to fire their hitting instructors mid-season?

Let’s go, 10-run inning. Pitcher has a 1.87 WHIP, halo-esque.

Honestly Campero can’t be worse than Ward. Ward has to hit so much better than Campero because his fielding is bad and he’s not a good baserunner.

Past 20 games, today being 21st, Halos outscored 123-53. This is getting to historically bad.

I would say Tim Anderson is the worst MI in baseball but that’s obviously Kevin Newman.

Same dude. Was offered tickets for Friday but declined. Current policy for me is no Trout, no dinero.

Artie, to the tune of 200M. He’s worse off than people buying tickets. He does get some back.

I’d rather wipe my keyster with $100 bills than give Arte a penny.
