Miller is pretty solid overall, but so far this year, he's been homer-prone. With the ball usually traveling well during day games, gotta hope the Angels can strike early and launch a couple.

Rendon on the “dead list”.

Whatever that means.

He gets clicks if he provides an update on Rendon, and he gets clicks if he reports that Rendon is being an asshole.  So either way I think he's OK.  Rendon on the other hand, if he cares about endearing himself to the fanbase and the media, is doing a terrible job of it

I can assure you that he doesn't give a shit about either.

20 some million a year and he won’t even talk to the media.  Nice.

$38.6M/year, but who's counting?

Anyone who wants to be upset about very stupid things. 

[eligrba4ever]

FWIW: In the 10 series Seattle has played in since June 30, the M's have won 8, lost 1 and split 1.

'The 7-above-.500 record is Seatttle's high-water mark for the season so far. The Angels are 3.5 games behind  Seattle and could be double-digits behind Texas with a loss today.

Silseth needs to stay sharp and go at least 6 innings today. And the offense needs to be more than Rengifo and Ohtani.

Ouch.  I just retired and moved back from Japan so I’m getting up to speed on the team again.  That was a bit of an overpay.

[gurn67]

I wonder if Arte will even get $1,000,000 per RBI from Rendon. When Ohtani leaves, their only choice may be to make him a full time DH. He'll still somehow manage to injure himself at the plate, or on the basepaths, but maybe they can get some return on what is looking like the worst contract in team history at this point. Yes, even worse than Hamilton. He hit more home runs and drove in more runs in two seasons than Rendon has in almost 4 now.

Stupid enough to be on a dead list?

Godspeed Silseth!

Rendon hates the media, so of course fans who want hurt feelings will take issue with it. It’s dumb. It’s like trying to find value in post game interviews. 

[jsnpritchett]

Blue Jays are already up 11-1 in the 5th against the Red Sox, so sure doesn't look like the Angels will gain any ground, regardless of what happens today.

Honestly he plays so little I thought he was dead. 
 

It’s a double dose of douche though. You figure maybe if he was raking we could give him a pass. But he sucks and he’s a jerk. Not a good combination.
