LA Angels Wednesday News Crash: Smol Market WS

Morning Angels fans, have some links!

Angels News

There is no Angels news. There was never going to be any Angels news.

Well, you can have this, the amount of Posteseaon games in the last decade. Angels have 0.

So do the Pirates

Around Baseball

Brewers vs Rays World Series. First time 2 teams who never won has faced each other since 1980.

And the Brewers are already the bad guys as they refused to honor the “Timeless Ticket” which past Brewer fans bought in case the team ever made it to the WS.

Which is a BIG deal since the tickets are super expensive. In fact, you can fly to TB and back, spend 2 nights in a hotel, and get tickets for 2 games for less money than game 1 in Milwaukie.

Rays meanwhile have refused to make an ABS challenge this postseason. No idea why.

Does spending get you to the playoffs? Yes. (Unless you are the Angels are Mets.)

Bruh
5th most money spent since 1990. No winning season since 2015.

So, since The Angels have zero playoff appearances in the last decade, does that mean that they play a “zero sum” game?

The only way to make this chart WORSE for the Angels would be to start back with Adam and Eve.

Without 2002 the chart would look even worse. But I agree – it ain’t pretty.

What I do think is clear from the chart is that Arte’s spending was not the problem. There was plenty of that with red being the predominant color since 2003.

It’s the curse. Just look at what’s happened to the Rams since the Angels’ purchase by KSE was announced: the curse has oozed onto the Rams, and it’s coming for the Avs and Nuggets next. It’s an unstoppable ameba. It’s worse than COVID and whatever the Russians are letting free in Siberia. It’s Astrophage on steroids.

If it’s a virus, are we vectors?
