With an off day on Wednesday he needed his rest.  Ditto the 24 year old LFer.

Oh that makes sense

Why is it that their 30+ million dollar fucking 3rd baseman had a day of on day 4 off the season ? Was there any reason for that ?

I'm exhausted from watching the team play so poorly, I can only imagine how tired they are.

Joe Maddon has sucked all of the joy put of the home opening series after MLB sucked all of the joy out of the off season.

Most of draft picks during Epplers reign have not been very good.  

And yet virtually all the first and second round picks will make it to the big leagues which is impressive as hell.

I need a source on that.

 

 

Or do I?

 

How many players is that?

 

 

What a weird thing to say. Now I'm mad again.

Wins are a false stat.

I assume the lineup changes are because of the shortened spring…but he better lock something in after game 10 or so.

None of them are even close to being an all star caliber type player.  You would think he would hit at least one out of all the picks.

I’ll let you do the work.  Show me all the All Stars drafted by other teams after the Angels drafted while Eppler was GM.

Had a good time with my pops, but the team was frustrating to watch as usual.

Mr moneybags here with the expensive seats.

This is exactly where our season seats were located for all those years.

109 row AA? You’re a lucky guy. I think these seats (at the very end of the row) are better than dugout suites in some ways (like no netting). The only thing that sucks is how far away the Diamond Club is and no in-seat service.

I love the dugout suites when I can get them, though. Nothing like having your own private bathroom.

They started as Sec 23 Row A originally, but yeah. 

And the trick was to go up to the Terrace Level for food and beer.

It was way too busy. It ended up being easier to go the Diamond Club to get drinks. I miss the COVID protocol at the stadium.
