He’s missed so much time and hasn’t been clicking I would’ve thought another AB would be good but what do I know

Scrub with us. Star somewhere else. What likely awaits the likes of Ward and Heaney some time in the future….

Adell – 63 Ks in 183 ABs in Salt Lake.

Marsh – .183 BA in band box AAA, striking out 1 of every 3.

Not much hope right now in this Organization.

The fire and venom should be directed at Perry. He started off with two great acquisitions Rasiel and Jose Iglesias. Then crap after that. He failed to do what he boastfully said at his presser, what the organization was focused on. Pitching and Run Prevention. He made wrong choices in the FA market; bullpen arms were very poor and did not enhance the rotation. We walked into the year without a RF, been plugging it with infielders ever since.

Arte signed off on Perry but not until Stoneman and other executives brought the name to Arte after their job search.

I remember Trout apparently politely asked them to get pitching, and they said they would. They did not.

Agree for sure. Perry rubbed it in our face for a couple of weeks on the post interview tour. He said what his focus was on.

The problem is none of these guys including Trout have any fire in them at all. The players the Angels had in their organization 15-20 years ago had all the fire in the world. They did not accept losing unlike this garbage.

Let us pray this team isn’t as bad as they play, and that they can manage to end up 75-87.

I actually am leaning toward a total tank and good draft choice. But they won’t and will end up with a pick around 12 which will mean another 2nd tier type pick.

We would’nt do it right. The best tank is for the team to try

A complete tank would have to go against the wishes of the ownership, which would be hard to do. Are Joe and Perry the martyrs this team so desperately craves?

Perry is no martyr, he is the part of the problem. Joe can be the punching bag.

Has anyone heard anything from Perry at all this season? This guy has no idea what he is doing. Really not looking forward to any of his drafts or trades.

He came out of hiding today. Saying to not classify us as Buyers or Sellers. OCR article. Regretfully, he did not own up to the bullpen construction failures.

My predication of a .500 team appears to have been too much optimism. They get me every year…

I always thought it was a canard, but maybe there is something to the idea that you NEED PITCHING.

All I can say, is that fans need to stop supporting this team until management finally realizes we will not stand for this crap any longer. Let Moreno lose money. Maybe then he will be forced to sell.

Finished up a little job around the house, turned on the game, turned it off immediately. This team is about hopeless.

What a clusterfuck. What kind of a professional team puts out this crap year in and year out. Anyone who knows Moreno or another top level executive on this team. Tell them where they can go.

If you personally know Moreno, you don’t know about baseball. It’s just “Wow. This is all yours?”
