winning has been hard

[Angel Oracle]

Said Yes, but just to just make sure, ASAP DFA Loup and Tepera and get Joyce and Torres up here!

[Redondo]

Yes

This is the year where we put it all together 

Health will be a key for once

[Revad]

I voted yes.  I think this is a better team than we’ve seen in a while on paper and it may be really good.  I’m liking the rotation if we make the playoffs.

[Stradling]

If anyone changes their mind after one game they probably shouldn’t watch baseball. 

[Justin]

If this year's team can't do it... damn, I'm not even going to finish my thought. Too depressing. 

[bloodbrother]

Yes, unless they don't

[Taylor]

This thread isn't nother enough. It should have been, "Will the Angels win more games this year than goat meat is sold worldwide per millions of pounds?"

The top end talent is elite. If the bottom part of the roster doesn't suck ass it's easy to see a 25 win jump this season

With the pen already a mess, It’s tough to vote yes

The bullpen has only cost the Angels one game the entire year and given up two measly runs.

.533 !

[REDneck]

We will now...turned a corner!

[gurn67]

They were 20-11 a year ago, and it seemed like they were playing beyond their talent level (which they obviously were). This year, the talent is better than a .500 team that they were a few days ago. Hopefully, they can go out tomorrow and get the first sweep of 2023!!!

Texas is not as good as their record so far, but Houston and Seattle are not as bad as their records so far.

[notherhalo]

Still over .500!

[Docwaukee]

[Chico]

We will either finish .500 or one game under.

I'm genuinely curious about this. If the team goes 82-80 or even 83-79, etc, rather than, say, 79-83, would anyone truly feel better about the season overall? It's all the same.

No, if we don’t make the playoffs it doesn’t matter. 
 

I legitimately can’t even give a time frame for when this team might be able to get back to the playoffs. 5 years at least, this franchise is very far off.

Most likely past Trouts retirement and Arte's passing 

As if a 38 yo Trout, if even playing is going to be a contributor
