What are you excited for the rest of the season?

[mmc]

With the trade deadline being over, and it looking unlikely that we'll be making for the postseason, what is left that has you excited for the rest of the season?  Or is all your excitement gone?

[Dick B Back]

I’d like to see Trout win his first HR title with 50+ homers.

[floplag]

The English Premier league soccer season starts next weekend and we have a prominent American up at Chelsea



Seriously though, seeing how the kids develop and mature at the ML level watching Adell in SLC, and seeing Trout have a career year and not get an MVP due to us sucking buttermilk.   what else is there at this point?  The front office punted, so i guess i will too. 

[bulls4ever]

Adell and Jose Rojas..... BTW why in the hell do they not call up Jose Rojas instead of watching regnifo strikeout everytime. 

[Pancake Bear]

I want to see if Stassi is going to be worth keeping around the next three years.

Development of the young guys: Rengifo, Fletcher, Canning, Suarez, maybe Thaiss. I want to see if they can keep progressing to the end of the season. 

I’d like to see Buttrey and others, like Canning and Suarez, make adjustments and get back on track to consistently strong play. 

I want to see if La Stella’s adjustments still look real after returning from injury and if Upton and Simmons improve as they rehab.

I want to see Heaney and Middleton healthy and showing they’re ready to hold down major roles next season. 

And, all else aside, I’d like to see Trout crush it the last two months and sweep the MVP voting. 

A WC berth would be great, but it isn’t happening, so I’m okay with that. 

Also, I wouldn’t be devastated to see Adell in September. 

[Dick Enberg]

Play-offs. Highly unlikely, yeah I get it. I'll still hope.

Definitely would like to see Trout win another MVP. Would like to see the Kids continue to improve. 

Love to see Trout have a 5 homer game in Fenway next week

[Angelsjunky]

*Hoping to see Trout surpass 10 WAR, hit 50 HR, and win his third MVP

*Seeing how Thaiss handles himself with regular playing time

*Young guys in general - hoping to see them get playing time

*Adell cup o coffee

*Stradling browbeating the rabble

*Lou agreeing

Root for Trout and for the development of the younger guys. This will still be fun to watch.

And win his 3rd AL MVP, while stretching his streak of top 4 finishes to all eight full seasons played so far.

Hi, AJ!

[Angelsfan1984]

Trout hit 50 HR, Angels sneak into the playoffs.

[Lou]

1. Watching Trout

2. Watching Ohtani

3. Watching Simmons

4. Watching CFB 

EDIT: #4 should be #1A

[Angelsjunky]

Watching the Fangraphs WAR leaderboards and tdawg's my level of engorgement go up and down accordingly.

Yup, that would be icing on the cake.

[Puget Sound Angel]

Dodgers choking in a third straight World Series.

[Docwaukee]

Outside the obvious choice of watching Trout be a beast, I am looking forward to some strong performances by the young major league players and several of our prospects.  

I also really want to see that Stassi can be the everyday guy and hit enough to make us see that.  

If there's one player that I'd like to see do well for the rest of the year, I would pick Suarez.  Show us that he can manage a rotation spot for next year.  

[SoWhat]

Secure a top 10 pick for next years draft

[Troll Daddy]

Win or lose I enjoy watching Angel baseball ️ and dread the off season. That’s what I’m excited about!

[Claude]

We ain’t sh*t until we get Bemboom in the lineup. 

[Jason]

Watching Upton up his strikeout game

Didn’t think of this but hell yeah!!

[Justin]

1) Watching Trout close in on 50 homers and 10 WAR

2) Watching Canning develop

3) Watching the Dodgers lose (again) in the postseason because they (again) wouldn't trade their precious prospects for bullpen help

[Slegnaac]

Trout hitting 50 Home Runs and stealing 20 bases

September call ups

[Tank]

I want to see canning and thaiss keep growing and helpfully producing.

I want to see Middleton return and be effective.

I want to see Upton wake up/get healthy and play like he normally does.

I want to see Ohtani rake (psst, @st1ckboy, that means "play baseball really, really well, not "rake" like you do in my yard).

[kevinb]

The Angels to make a playoff push. Other than that once that is put to bed then it's on to my other sports teams and their playoff quests.
