Noe you da man

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Well it happened

[HeavenlyHalos]

Wow. They actually did it.

[Lou]

The moon landing was on July 20, 1969, you idiots. 

[failos]

There it is

[ScottT]

So much manliness

[bloodbrother]

Oh boy here comes the benches clearing stare down complete with relievers jogging in from the outfield with their warmup jackets on. This is serious

[failos]

Hinch is a cocksucjer

[ScottT]

That was a horseshit pitch by Ramirez.  Too high.  For F*ck's sake.

They've had seven years since Trout has been here to put together a year-over-year contender and have failed miserably.

Ya man I really disagree with this.  They weren’t in a position to do it even without the ridiculous bad luck they’ve had.  Really, really poor management between 08 and 2015 wrecked the organization.  If anything they’re ahead of schedule for building back into a quality on the field organization from the minor leagues up to the majors.  This stuff doesn’t happen over night. 

[Claude]

I’m not on board with that.

I don't get the hate. It was not intentional. Right away he checked on Lucroy. He made a mistake and that's all it was. The Angels clearly feel the same way because he was not plunked and nothing has happened. The Angels have forgotten about it just like the fans should. Even our announcers acknowledged it was just an unfortunate incident.

I agree

[ScottT]

Can't believe he didn't get tossed.

[John Taylor]

God I love this team.

[failos]

My love for Pujols has increased . Dude is killing it

[UndertheHalo]

I support and love Noe Ramírez.  I will post to defend his honor no matter what.  I am 200% committed to battling Astros fans online now.

I don't see how the two are the same but he should have unloaded the farm to get Yelich. 7 years of wasting the best player in the game. He had a chance to pair him up with one of the best players and didn't do it. He could have chosen to offer more than the Brewers but he didn't. I'm mad for him for a lot more than that though. 

Jake made a mistake. Did the Angels organization blast him for it? Did they throw at him? Was there a brawl? Totally different but I'm sure you'll reach at any straw you can because of your undying love for Billy Eppler.

No it won't. Nothing is going to happen. You guys are a bunch of savages. It was a split-second decision and Jake already explained his side of it. Again, what everyone fails to recognize is that he immediately checked on Lucroy to see if he was okay. If he did it on purpose and wanted to cause malicious intent, he would have just got up and walked away. Once again, objectivity flies out the window on this forum.

Oh and if it was this horrible terrible thing that Jake did, the Angels bench and Bullpen would have cleared and there would have been a brawl right then and there. Nothing happened. Not one player was up in his face about it either.

Yeah okay later on and that's fine. It was a bang-bang play. Did he call him a bunch of names and say he should be suspended for the rest of the year and say that he wants to fight him or that he should be thrown at or that his nose should be broken? Did Lucroy get all up in his face right then and there while his nose was bleeding? Did he yell at their dugout?

 

13 minutes ago, beatlesrule said:

Okay so I take it he's not there at the game tonight right? Did any player or anyone in the Angels organization have a confrontation with Jake tonight? Did anyone punch him in the nose and break it? Why wasn't he been thrown at? I'll tell you why, because the Angels organization has forgiven and forgotten what happened. Fans can't seem to do the same

Yes I have and so a non Angel player is mad at him. Maybe watch the Cardinals and Astros play each other if that happens and see if Molina does anything to him. I'm going to go ahead and almost guarantee that nothing happens.

 

I FUCKING AGREE 

[IheartLA]

since Trout isn't playing they are probably going to hit Ohtani. If he gets hurt we go for blood

Heart & Hustle had it coming.

Get well Lucroy.

[Vlad27Trout27]

regarding the Yelich trade, it comes down to the point that we just weren't ready to make that big of trade. The starting price was Adell, Canning and on of Marsh/Jones/ Crod. after that you would still have to include a few more pieces.

[ScottT]

I love Victor Rojas, but who gives a flying fuc k how many seconds a guy has in the big leagues.

Throwing near a guy's head is not cool.

Just like bowling through a guy's head is not cool?
