LOL! Albert STILL hasn't hit #660!

Privately texting Arte about getting into the lineup.

Its nice to see Walsh and Ward doing better.  Its unlikely all of these guys (Rengifo, Barreto, Thaiss) that have had decent success in the minors will be sub 200 hitters in the majors.  None of them are very young but they havent had that many at bats.

You do that, but he still won't hit it!

Walsh should be starting at 1B on Opening Day 2021.

But.....Milestones 

[Angels in 2030]

Bundy is single-handedly ruining the Angels tank this year.  He is too good.  Eppler really blew it by not trading him when he had a chance . 

[Angel Oracle]

71 pitches through 6 innings for Bundy.

Those of you not named Bundy or Heaney, WATCH and LEARN! 

[fan_since79]

Could it be??

Could we have a true ace in Dylan Bundy?!

So far, so good!

 

[Claude]

Bundy has been the biggest surprise this season. He never folded like a cheap lawn chair. Great to see.

[Bronson]

I think a change a scenery is just what Bundy needed. Thank god we didn’t trade him. We would have not gotten the same value back. If we can get Bauer and a #2 starter in the offseason, can you imagine a rotation where Bundy is your #3 pitcher.....

[Jay]

Bundy looks pretty good

Putting Bundy #3 could ruin his confidence, it's skin deep.  As far as I'm concerned he's our best pitcher and belongs #1.

Bundy likes cool weather pitching.

Well, let's wait and see how Thaiss does first. 

[Angel]

Even if we sign an ace-like pitcher I'd still give Bundy the 1st spot as he's earned it, few FA pitchers do well here, put some pressure on them to perform.  Players would have to earn their keep on my squad if I were manager.

[Jay]

Mathis is up!

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

l want to see what Marsh can do the big league...

[Claude]

Bundy is officially a #2 and can get to a #1 if he keeps rolling.

Mayers has quietly been so good out of the pen this year.

Walsh has been getting better and better with consistent playing time. 

Look at Taylor Wards season line.   I'm not a Ward fan (I don't know if he has a position), but..... He was right there with Walsh last year blowing the PCL out of the water.   Hopefully all three of Ward, Walsh, and Thaiss get playing time to close this out.  Maddon and the Angels need answers not questions moving forward.

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Bundy lowered his ERA slightly with his 12 strike out performance to 2.48...

Agree...but no more Thaiss at 2b or OF...every 1b AB ought to be Walsh or Thaiss...I hope Maddon doesn’t feel heat to play Pujols but I think we all know that isn’t reality...
