Damn

[Jay]

Damn talk about brutal.

[CaliAngel]

I'm really getting sick of this horseshit.

I don't know why anyone would pay hard earned money to show up to the stadium.

[JAHV76]

Damn bad luck on the double play 

[Kendo36]

Another quality start wasted.

Brett Kerry, Luke Murphy, Nick Jones, to name a few. The jury is still out on Bachman but he's made it to the majors at least. Same will Silseth although I think you're underselling him a bit.

Kerry may very well be on the team this year. Jones isn't far behind. 

You're lucky if 20% of your draft picks make the major leagues. 

Just because it hasn't produced a frontline starter or elite closer doesn't make it a bust. 

Not saying it's good, just saying it's not been as bad as you think.

That's ok.  We can disagree.  I think if you're going to draft college pitchers with 19 of your 20 picks, you're probably hoping more than two of them would have hit the majors in some capacity by now. 

I just don't see much talent there.  Bachman is the only guy from that draft who's listed in the top 10 AngelsWin.com prospects.  The only guy from that draft who's in the top 30 Angels prospects on MLB.com's Pipeline is Ryan Costieu at #11, even though he hasn't pitched since 2022 due to TJ surgery (I'm assuming they don't consider Bachman a "prospect" any longer, even though he still qualifies as a rookie).

Kerry has had a good start to this year, but his numbers in previous years haven't been very good.  Murphy was the closer for one of the best college programs around, but struggled last year when he was repeating AA.  Jones could maybe be a respectable middle reliever at some point.

 

[Angel Oracle]

Ward with crappy luck tonight, 3 line outs 

[CaliAngel]

Their only job is to watch the baseball and hit it, but they whiff so much you'd think it's the first time anyone put a bat in their hands.

Moniak really isn't showing much pitch recognition. 

[Jay]

Bleah.

Well he had just about the lowest walk rate in the league last year so.... yeah.
