Chapman is a stud.

Bregman is a douche.

I'm pumped to have Rendon. 

I don't really care where he ranks among all 3B.  I'm just glad the Angels have him.

Why gang up on the guy if he truly can't/won't respond.

Is that the intent of this forum? 

Move on.

This is all in good fun.  If you choose to self ban you get made fun of.  It isn't like we are totally ripping the guy.  We wait for him to be here to do that.

The only person keeping him from responding is himself..  So, you can stop pretending he's being unfairly treated or ganged up on..   Take your own advise, move on.

In his defense, he's likely unaware of the self ban history...

RBM is a Claude asset.

Ask yourself what your comment had to do with baseball.   How about practicing what you preach for once..   Try starting with actually moving on.

You guys should all be ashamed of yourselves for all those years of bullying @Angel Oracle and his many self-bans.   Bunch of poisonous jackasses.

Not at all.

I am here to talk Angels baseball. I'm ok with calling guys out when we disagree with their take. But when we gang up on someone and it's not related to something they just posted it is bullying.

So why do some feel the need to bully? Sad.

if this is bullying to you then you have lived a very charmed life.  Also please let us know how prom is in a few months.

are you guys bullying a ghost?

Why did Calzone self-ban, did he lose a bet?

He wanted to make sure we all had a Merry Christmas.

I actually don't know either.   But it was likely an @Angel Oracle, type situation where he said -- if the Yankees do ______ I'll self ban...
