Biggest homestand in history?

[Torridd]

I think this homestand will decide on if we're sellers or buyers and, if the former, could mean what happens with Shohei. I think the team really needs to show some fire, especially now.

[Stradling]

No it isn’t. Weve had home stands that have had playoff implications 

[Revad]

It’s best to think of this home stand as our playoffs.

[T.G.]

Good grief.

Uh... when was the last time we were on the brink of losing the greatest player in MLB history - and attempting to make a run at the playoffs again???

 

It's more than this homestand - this next 2 weeks of games will define this franchise...

 

The 710 AM crew just reported that Morosi is reporting that the Angels have let teams know that they're "listening to Ohtani offers"...

 

...just ugh...

 

Too many miracles need to happen for this franchise to not circle the drain...

 

In my dream world: Trout and Ohtani put on the most magnificent play-off push ever seen - and we sort it out at the end of the season - after making the playoffs... (probability: 8%)...

That is definitely a dream world, given that Trout's out for at least another three weeks, maybe more like 5-6.

TG - You're the frog in a boiling pot of water - LOL!

 

I loathe hyperbole, but no matter which direction this goes... the impacts will be large... and they will be long lasting...

So if we sweep this home stand Shohei will resign?

[REDneck]

To be fair this may be the biggest homestand for a team under .500!!!

I hope y'all detected that very subtle sarcasm?

I know I should have explained the math a little better:

 

Ohtani is going to need to carry this team to the Trade Deadline within striking distance of a playoff spot... And then maintain that for a couple weeks until Trout returns... And then both of them go beast mode for the final 6-ish weeks...

 

like I said - that's my low probability dream...

No one would believe the stuff written here if they didn't actually read it themselves.

[Stradling]

I’ll assume that’s a no

Angels probably lose 5/6 and we are all on suicide watch by next weekend.

Should be a pass code to start a topic. Similar to kids games on ipads. I'm fairly certain that would eliminate like 74% of threads here.

They'll sweep the Astros and Yankees.

 

 

 

Then lose 5 of 6 to the Pirates and Tigers.

Do you think the topic is bad? I did place it as a question.

It's not that bad. I understand what you meant.  In theory, it could impact the next few years of the team as it relates to "the Ohtani decision".

I think it’s a fair question because what they do with Ohtani will have a big impact on the direction of the franchise…
