   Tonight's Game

   Tonight is exactly how this year has gone Our 5th and 6th hitters choke when we need them most An error leads to a big run Our bullpen blows it We have a VERY EASY scoring opportunity and we blow it Trout does everything right We need to trade people and not focus and names. We need to focus on good defense, a good bullpen and guys who hit with RISP. Those are the 3 most important things in baseball. Those things win games. This team is embarrassing.

    By Jason Sinner, AngelsWin.com Contributor - I keep seeing tons of internet chatter from Angels fans about selling off the teams spare parts to make them better......eventually. Yet a bad loss tonight and many are still pissed even with little doubt about the outcome of this season. On top of that, we traded a 38yo middle relief lefty specialist about to become a FA with half less than half a season left on his somewhat expensive contract (for his ability) and got market value which wasn't much yet we somehow should have parlayed him into a #3 starter for 2016. It's hard to imagine how many will react when we are left with Trout, Weaver, Wilson, Pujols, Hamilton…

    He became the oldest person to hit a walk off home run in mlb history. I was more impressed by his quotes as it reminds me of what the angels are not at the moment. "I'm a little old to be dunked with water. I love it. I've been preaching all year one guy is not more important than another and it's going to take all 25 of us, even more than that, to win ballgames and we've done it all year. It's just exciting to be a part of it." "That's what keeps you coming back," Giambi said. "There's no moment more special than when you get that embrace from your teammates and all those smiles. It's exciting." "I love how we're growing and that's what I keep telling …

    Do GM's make smarter moves, with a limited budget?

    This is one of those things that I've been thinking about lately. You look at the playoff teams right now. Division Leaders Dodgers #2 Detroit #5 Cardinals #10 Braves #16 Oakland #27 Rays #28 Those .5 back. Boston #4 Baltimore #15 Pirates #20 Would Billy Beane be a better GM, if he had an unlimited or Max budget? I really don't think he would be. He works and stretches what he has, and knows when to sell to quickly rebuild. I think back to all the trades that people are bitching about that we made. And every single one of them had one purpose. To spend whatever it took to make the playoffs. And this philosophy goes all the way to the h…

    Sickels on the Downs-Rasmus trade

    July 30, 2013 by Angelsjunky

    • 11 replies
    • 886 views

    Read all about it. I like Sickels because he nicely balances scouting with sabermetrics and seems to have no clear agendas or biases. He likes the trade for both teams and gives a bit more about Rasmus' past. Evidently he missed quite a bit of time due to injury, which is why he's still in AAA at 26, and then couldn't maintain starting without further injury, which is why he is a reliever. Anyhow, I feel a bit more intrigued by Rasmus now. Relievers often peak a bit later anyhow, so 26 isn't exactly old. I don't quite see him being a major league closer but he could be a good, even very good, middle reliever, as soon as next year. My view of the trade went from "very …

    Yes, I know it has nothing to do with the future Angels, I just thought this would be the most appropriate forum since it involves Minor League Baseball and their promotions.

    How many feel the Angels should give up on 2014? 1 2

    July 29, 2013 by stormngt

    • 48 replies
    • 1.7k views

    I say this because many argue that we should trade Aybar and or Kendrick. We really don't have an adequate replacement for either for next year. Yes we could probably get a decent load of prospects for them if we traded them, but without an adequate replacement at 2b or SS wouldn't we have to give up on 2014 as well? Some may say we should. Some say this team is a good few years away from being a playoff team. If that is so maybe we should trade them. However, If you feel Hamilton can return to at least near all star play (he used to be one of the best) and if Pujols can be a consistent 280 30 HR player (something even a declining Pujols can be) that this team can b…

    If it makes anyone feel better, that's how it's going to end up by season's end. Oakland's peaked for too long now, they won't sustain for that winning clip the season remainder. Texas is falling back, who knows what will happen with the Angels, and then there's Seattle who could end out on top if they keep that momentum. It's been like waiting for The Great Pumpkin, Charlie Brown with the Angels, but watch Oakland lose control of this division.

    Angels closer Ernesto Frieri gives up two home runs in ninth, including Geovany Soto's walk-off blast, to ruin strong outing by Jered Weaver.<br/><br/>ARLINGTON, Texas — Jered Weaver allowed one run and five hits in seven splendid innings, "the best I've ever thrown the ball in Texas," he said, and J.B. Shuck, who got the silent treatment after hitting his first big league home run, responded by walking the length of the dugout and hilariously high-fiving invisible teammates.<img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/latimes/sports/baseball/mlb/angels/~4/QRbNiFV77ZA" height="1" width="1"/> View the full article
