Angels Lose Postgame

The Reds had a big inning in the first. It was 4-0 Reds after one. Double plus ungood.

Klassen coughed up a homer in the bottom of the second. 5-0 Reds.

The Angels loaded them up in the top of the third with no outs. Jo Adell won today’s bingo card for hit by pitch. Jorge Soler contributed out number one with a strikeout. Schanuel hit an RBI ground out to make it 5-1. That was it for the third.

Klassen issued a four pitch walk to lead off the bottom of the third and was promptly yanked for a finger blister. Enter Brent Suter. After a Ke’Bryan Hayes fly out he picked off Noelvi Marte to end the inning.

In the top of the fourth, Mike Trout doubled in two. 5-3 Reds.

Jo Adell lined out to end the threat.

The Angels got men on first and second by walks in the top of the fifth. There were two outs and the mighty Yoan Moncada at the plate. He struck out to end the Angels half of the fifth.

Zach Neto got a one out double in the sixth inning. Mike Trout popped out and Jo Adell struck out.

In the bottom of the eighth inning the Reds got a man to third base and then he scored on a Chase Silseth wild pitch. 6-3 Reds. He did it again. 7-3 Reds. The Angels couldn’t really do anything in the ninth inning. they lost.

Kade and Tyler are the only two first round arms from last year’s draft who remain scoreless after two starts.

What Kade is doing is a bit more impressive because it’s at AA, and he’s striking out roughly two per inning, but Bremner is definitely solidly holding his own and proving his early first round rank.

Right now, there are 4 2-0 games being played and one 2-0 games final-funny stuff.

In the next 3 weeks we have a chance to get to the top of the standings with only 2 starting pitchers worth a dang. Even better chance to sink to the bottom. Sure would like to see Trout get hot, just might happen.

Rodriguez was dinged up when PTP traded Ward for him this past Winter and he is still dinged up. We need some starters that can go at least 5 IP I would think, maybe time to try Silseth in a starting role instead of a foreign for him relief role. Ward btw is hitting well in Baltimore, but his power is a little behind but as we know he is a streak hitter. Go Ward and don’t let it get you down that you don’t play for Arturo anymore 😆

Let’s get some shiny marketing ready so we can trade Soriano, Adell, and Soler for a 8 to 10 top prospects.

Unless you’re planning on extending Soriano it makes sense, considering 2027 will very likely be a lost season. Adell has 1 year left and Soriano and Detmers have 2. We’re so short of starting pitching and good ones are hard to find so you might consider keeping Soriano and Detmers for now.

The problem is, do you really think there’s any chance the team is good in 2028 or 2029? If not, maybe you trade everyone. Is Neto now the new Trout, the really good player surrounded by everyone else? I don’t know. Someone needs to have a plan other than treading water and if according to Arte, the wins don’t matter, who cares if we trade everyone with the chance that we acquire more talent. We’re worse off than most people realize unfortunately.

We need Arte to sell and new ownership cleans house before these decisions need to be made. I do not trust any of the current ruling imbeciles to make intelligent baseball decisions.

The teams that never go anywhere are those that keep trading away anyone good, except maybe a small fraction, and keep cycling through supposed hot prospects only to find most of them don’t pan out. I don’t know the stats but it seems for every well thought of prospect only about one in ten make it to MLB and contribute, and the odds are worse as to being a star or real talent. Teams that finally hit on guys cannot just re-start the process with new blood.

Best example is Trout. He was a hot prospect that hit. They haven’t had another since save maybe for Neto. They got Ohtani from overseas. It took Ward like 8 years and multiple position switches to became anything. Adell finally looks like something after about 8 years. O’Hoppe was supposed to be really talented. It’s looking bleaker. They traded Marsh when it looked like he would stick as an MLBer.

Rinse and repeat doesn’t work.

Why would you trade Adell ? He is exactly what you are looking for in those prospects!! Same can be said for Soriano, even more so….

The only one in the group you mentioned that might make sense is Soler because of his age and contract status.

Because they have value, Soriano alone will easily get you a team’s 4 top prospects and 1 or 2 lesser prospects. Adell gets you probably 3 plus 1 or 2 lesser prospects, Neto gets you 3 or 4, Soler maybe 2 lesser prospects, Youts to set the team up for success in 4 to 4 years.

What do you consider to be “4 Top prospects”? By top prospect do you mean a team’s Number 1 prospect in their system? Or maybe Number 2? If not, I don’t know how this helps… I mean, are you familiar with the phrase “A bird in the hand is worth two in the bush” ? Perhaps you are…

I have stated on this site many times the folly of trading established talent, especially established and YOUNG talent for mere prospects. Both Adell and Soriano are on the correct side of 30. And Sori may be developing into a top 3 or 4 starter in all of baseball.

Sorry, but we control Soriano, and he is only getting better. I would not trade him for 3 mid level prospects and one Number 1 ranked prospect in the hopes that one of those becomes another Soriano. I would not even do it for 2 mid level and 2 top prospects. It just doesn’t make sense to me..

Absolutely. Trade Neto too. Maximize the trade deadline return this year. I wish we could get something for Kikuchi too, we’ll see.

Look out though, the A’s are starting to hit, and just won two series in a row, against the Yankees and Mets.

Mariners with a 0.98 Team WHIP…Geeze, I wish the Angels were that terrible.

Yeah, A’s are ramping up and the Big Amish is still waiting for take-off. Pitching will be their kryptonite. Fun team to watch.
