This is nuts.

And boring.

31 minutes until Bundy and Quintana are released?

I hate to say it, but probably not. They're already paying them and they'll need innings, no matter who they call up. If and when they are released it will be if and when minor leaguers are called up.

So I give them a week or two.

It's looking like none. Not even Heyman making up Angels rumors.

Down to less than 30 minutes. Lesser pitchers than Cobb, Heaney, Iglesias have already been dealt, and the Angels didn't move. 

Teams ahead of them in the standings have been aggressive in improving. 

I think it's time to come to terms with the fact that the Angels likely aren't selling, but the team isn't playing well enough for Perry to be desperate to buy either. 

They're pretty much going to do the stupidest thing possible, which is nothing. 

[Lou]

I hope we do nothing.

 

 

 

 

And make the playoffs.

We will absolutely hear how other teams got more than we got for similar guys.  

Which guys would those be?

Rangers have gotten better by improving their farm as well.  Angels are the only team in the West to stand pat so far.

Yep. Double-stupidest would be to keep Raisel and not immediately start talking extension with him.

I mean if we're keeping him, then let's really keep him.

Guys traded and soon to be traded.

They definitely have that potential, but with every passing have that becomes less and less likely. Too hurt. Not enough bullpen. Keep losing to the teams in front of them in the standings.

Did we trade anyone? I've been in meetings.

Come on we all knew deep down that nothing would happen. Time to stand pat and finish 81-81. Mission accomplished

@Tank mind driving by Portos or Byblos Bakeries and telling Perry to check his voicemail?

We're lying to ourselves if we think we can win the WC after what the A's, Blue Jays, Yankees and Rays have done.

From Die Hard?  That is bad ass.

If true that the Angels were indeed in on Scherzer I really hope Perry didn’t wait 2 hours prior to the deadline to announce they’re sellers. 
 

But it’s something this organization would do.

Before the season, I predicted 86-87 wins and missing out on WC2 by a couple games. I will think they win 86-87 games but right now, it starts WC2 will probably be nearly a 95 win team.
