Pretty cool that in a roundabout way, Adenhart is in the hall. Im sure people over the years who dont know the story will see the patch, google it and learn the story.

I love the pinetar on the helmet.

Stuff like this is what makes AW such a great place.We can disagree with other people's opinions, bitch at each other about trivial things but our love of the Angels is why most of us are here.

Love the Adenhart patch.

I got a pic of that while at Cooperstown.   Nice tribute to Nick!

A friend of the family's is in Cooperstown and knowing we are Angels fans, shared this picture with us.  Out of all the jersey's that could have been displayed, it was nice to Vlad pay tribute to Nick:
 

If there is any professional athlete that still hasn't scrubbed their social media accounts clean by now, they're taking a huge risk. Team management ought to make it a requirement like yesterday.

Jake Diekman picked up from visitors (Rangers) clubhouse and driven to his new team's digs.
 

He sounds like a helluva pitcher. We need to sign him.

God damn I wish we got Yelich.
Oh well, at least he's on my 2nd favorite team

Also good to see a potential off-season FA target (Grandal) on that list 

Don't forget waiver deals...that's how the Astros got Verlander (and the Angels got Upton..for example).

Oakland has a ton of money. They just don't spend it. 

Sosh Free.  

Beane hasn't been the General Manager since 2015 so for all of you praising him for this team, it has been the work of David Frost.
Now just for one minute go back to 2014, the last time the A's were playing over .500 and what happened? The A's had a pretty strong lead in the AL West powered by their very effective starting pitching then Beane pulled the dumbest move of his career and traded Cespedes for Lester and Johnny Gomes. The A's went into a tailspin and finished 10 games out.
Beane was moved upstairs, out of the daily operations of the team and Frost took over. This season the A's made no deadline trades. 

The rotation the A's have is a joke. Manaea and that's about it.
They have HORRIFIC base running...23 steals..18 caught. The Marlins are 2nd to last with 30.
BUT, most of their bullpen is underrated.
Chapman is having a nice season.
Davis...almost no one notices him..he's going to have another 40 homer year.
and they crush the ball on the road (.800) ops.
I do think both the M's/A's should have around 4-6 less wins, though.

Angels.

Giants. Their recent wins have made their new fans up here unbearable. 
 
The Mariners. Dipoto mostly. 
 
The Astros don’t bother me at all even being in the division and winning recently. A’s currently don’t bother me. I like Olson and Davis a lot. Rangers will always rub me the wrong way after a couple somewhat decent seasons. 
 
And of course the Yankees, Red Sox, and Dodgers

Angels win this trade, a block of ice can help keep the players cool.

(No Spoilers) in the title would be nice..but I apologize!
 
 
 

he was a dodger for about an hour and a half. so this is justified.

"I've got it! Let's have a throwback bobblehead night, and give away all of the leftovers that we have in the warehouse! Benji Gil, Josh Hamilton...the possibilities are endless!"

Did you want the Angels to give away a Manny Machado bobble head? I’m confused
