Giolito is worth AT LEAST $25M/year if he can always be this insightful.

All we need to do is play .900 baseball and then we have a shot

I was already put on silence for a week recently for calling him names back. I'm not emotionally invested enough in AngelsWin to actually get my feelings hurt here. I'm way too strong for that.

That’s not what happened but ok.

Thank$ Angels, that makes 3350 in profit in the last two weeks betting against you.  One way or another I’ll enjoy this team.  You guys are nuts if you’re not cashing in on how predictable this org is.  When they went “all in” on a bunch of replacement level players I knew it was time to bust out the ole betting spreadsheet.

I think you try and sign him but, based on what we’ve seen, not at anything close to 25/per. If somebody else wants to do that, have at it. You cut your losses, admit it wasn’t a good trade, but don’t make it any worse with a bad overpay…

Trust me, I was joking.  I don't want him at anywhere near that price.

Things are going to calm down here when we're 12 games out of the wild card. That might happen by the end of next week. Then we can start speculating about next year.

[Angel Oracle]

Only good thing was that it was just two  bad innings out of 12 innings in the past two starts.   But that 3rd inning, ugh!

Just do not sign Giolito to some 5 year deal this off season.

I say don't sign him to any deal. What a major disappointment.

Rangers are going to win it all this year. It's their time. They've never won one before.

I called it on 8/15.
