I know they won’t sandbag because that’s not what the Angels do.  It’s just not on the table for Arte Moreno.  Which is cool and fun, but also a detriment.  Other teams don’t do this, so the Angels get screwed. 

are you saying we're the only team that isn't a lock to make the playoffs that puts forth their full effort to win every game?

One of a handful.  The Twins the Jays and Mariners I guess.   Tho, the Twins are dog shit anyway and Toronto is also.  The NL has a bunch of teams tanking it up also.

sounds like all the teams with even an outside chance of making the playoffs aren't tanking.

A nice little 21-3 run like we did in late April into May of 2002 should get us right back in the thick of it.

 

Now...the only problem is how to go on a nice little 21-3 run.

The simultaneous brilliance and fool's gold of the extra wild card spot. Keeps the league competitive longer, but makes teams that should start a rebuild indecisive longer too. 

Maybe the NBA should try it. Tanking in basketball is 1000x worse than in baseball.

I root for a former Bruin in the NBA, but for his dad to have to recover from a root canal for about 6 months, preventing him from speaking to the media.

I've been thinking exactly the same, but a little less about Dipoto and more that it would just be funny to see their playoff drought extend another 20 years. 

 Oh if he doesn't make it this year, he's not going to make it at all. That guy has completely depleted their farm system, worse than he did when he was here..

The Mariners future is pretty screwed unless they increase payroll up over the Dodgers and Yankees in the next few years. And you know their payroll is going to increase big time after the luxury tax restart.

I’d like to see Ohtani pitch again and be able to be healthy.

I hope that they shut down Ohtani for the rest of the season, at least as a pitcher. No need to risk completely blowing out his arm when this team isn't going anywhere in 2018.
