O'Hoppe's dad looks like George Brett.

I thought it was George Brett at first before I heard them say it was O’Hoppe’s family

It doesn't really have to be him, there are others like him too - I think he's just easy to cite due to familiarity.  Syndergaard might be too expensive for this team, so if so, we might be looking at Lorzenen and others in his tier.

There is no reason to bring back Syndergaard, either.  Get out of the mindset of focusing on guys the Angels had this year!

I think in this offseason, there are really not a lot of robust options available.  In truth, with the quarter of SPs we have, and also considering that we have two promising SP prospects who just basically spent the entire year in AA, I would think they'd probably focus on a SP option they can get on a one year deal.  For the first time in awhile, I think we are in fairly good shape in terms of SP.

No snappy comment from O'Neal about the foul ball by Kemp?

I am surprised.

Nary a mention of Trout's home run.

Last tailgate with the family tonight.  Another season to somewhat forget I suppose, but oh well.  Love the family time

That's what it is all about. Some best times I've had friends or family at a ball game

Meh. He's done it before.  

[AngelsLakersFan]

Trout missed 40 games still gona hit 40 bombs

[Blarg]

Actually it was pretty exciting here at the game watching that ball travel so damn high and still clear the fence in deep center. The sound off the bat said gone. 

[PattyD22]

Dear Mike Trout, thank you for once agian making our grandsons night.  We will always be indebted to you.

[Blarg]

Send that to Jersey Jerkwad Jerry. 

[Blarg]

And get that kid a left handed mitt!

Am I crazy, or didn't moniak just come back from the IL?

[Ace-Of-Diamonds]

Well it looks like Adell is going to get some regular ABs now.

Yep.

That must really hurt.

That's the face of a 1/1 guy who flopped. Feel for the guy.

He missed a month earlier in the season when he was still with the Phillies, too.  He's cursed this year!
