Wasn't a good manager after 2010. Terrible pitching decisions and just had a liking for putting Pujols right behind Trout in the batting order for way too long. 

Make a post without bringing up Trout.

He can’t.

Jose Rojas is 2/3. Dude can hit! I think he could be a other under the rated guy

 Put him at 1st!

Fletcher needs to do something positive.

No point really in getting too worked up.  It still is very early and also.  The Angels did not go out and get impact players.  Iglesias (Raisel) probably the most significant get.  I mean he’s a reliever lol.  And he hasn’t been great.  We needed like 6 different things to go exactly right.  At least we got the Ohtani thing going as hoped - so far.  Which was far from certain.   I’m sorry, Quintana and Cobb weren’t going to change the pitching situation significantly.  
 

we need significant positive development from Canning.  We need something from another pitcher.  Rodriguez looks like a possible player to bank on.

Langston towing the line.

Down 1 MPH but only threw 6 pitches so not even sure there's enough there to come to that conclusion. IDK, maybe the pitching coach noticed something with his body language/mechanics in those 6 pitches

Everyone (except Ohtani) is playing like they have painful ulcers in their sphincters.

Well they paid money to watch this team.

[Angelsjunky]

I can't wait until 2022. That will be the year the team starts being good again. Right?

Jump in the dugout and punch Maddon

[Angel Oracle]

I take back what I said about Guerra being decent.

Any guesses on when the next win will be?   Next 10 games are brutal.

Back to following the minors
