So we only need to improve in 7 out of 9 positions. Shouldn't be too hard.

6, once Rendon comes back it's like adding an MVP type bat

Only thing Rendon will do is help halos get to 96 losses this year

 Dan Szymborski: Beware the Ides of September, that dark period every year when the Angels and Rockies become officially eliminated from the playoffs

[Chuck]

I love these. 

 

[Revad]

LOL.  Excellent, a little long but well worth watching.  

[Jay]

Pujols is at 698 now.

Marcus Semien has "Callaspo'd his way to a 5.1 bWAR.   He's at 3.9 at Fangrpaphs.

Guys like Callaspo and Semien are the poster kids for why fWAR > bWAR.

it was an inside job.  Costanza grooved him a pitch.

Nah, that one counts.  Jason Alexander had already been pulled.

Framber Valdez sets MLB record with 25th consecutive quality start.

if albert was sitting at 699 and i was pitching to him, i'd groove pitch after pitch until he hit it out.

 

*as long as it wasn't a game with playoff implications

You have always been a real groovy dude.

I'm an Angels fan so I would hit him in his fat ass.

Pretty sure Rojas, Wade, and Duffy will be available.

Its a pretty awful FA market.  Thank God the home grown pitchers all took steps toward establishing themselves and the one year contracts run may have finally run its course.

Al Downing concurs

I would be very surprised if Albert didn't get to 700 this year. #700 is going to be the easiest HR to hit, because some pitcher in an inconsequential game is going to give him batting practice pitches. 

Probably the same for Judge's #62.
