Jose Molina!

Why not Bengie for baserunning coach?

Because Pujols has already been promised that position when he retires at 50, in 3 years.

I'm gay for Mike Trout....

...Oh wait I thought this was a confessional thread

Finally we can unload that albatross who plays CF who has never won a Gold Glove and can't seem to win the MVP....Bourjesus forever!

Before AngelsWin I would have to carve out "Fire Marcel Lachemann" on a stone tablet, load the tablet up in my covered wagon, and take the Oregon Trail to deliver the tablet to Chuck's cave. I lost many good oxen during that time.....

If Trout's happy then I'm happy.

Anyone that Mike Trout doesn't want as the next manager. Let him do the interviews, or hell make one of those vehicles that he won during the All Star game the Manager if it means we will re-sign him past 2020.

I appreciate the stability he brought to our organization. As an Angels fan starting in the 80's I would have never guessed that we would have the same Manager for 19 seasons. RIP lasagna restaurants in Anaheim.

The Athletic is basically a digital version of Sports Illustrated that has writers who focus on (almost) every team. (The Angels aren’t one of them, though. They have a writer who splits his time between the Angels and Dodgers.) Their stories are often more big-picture, analytical and less nuts and bolts. They don’t even pretend to be the source of record for coverage of a team because they don’t have a story every day. 

I would encourage everyone to subscribe to it because there’s a lot of good stuff in there that they can do because they aren’t bogged down with what I am, which is having to produce a minumum amount of content every single day and hitting everything that’s happening. While I am at every game and continually updating menutia like when Tyler Skaggs is back and how Ohtani is doing against lefties, they have a writer going to SLC and sitting down with Griffin Canning. 

I think both are useful. If you can swing it, you should subscribe to both. 

"I would encourage everyone to subscribe to it because there’s a lot of good stuff in there they will most likely be my future employer as newspapers and ESPN lay off more longtime respected sportswriters."

FIXED.

Honestly Angelswin and OCRegister have been my only "Go-to's" for the Angels for years now. Most other sites don't really understand the inner workings of the franchise.

12 going on 23. I was about to ask what 12 year old is 248 pounds but then I remembered Big Al is a quarter ton dinger hitting machine.

But 6ft 1, seriously?

I've noticed Cowart keeps changing up his batting stance as well, I remember a couple years ago he was trying more of a John Olerud type swing with the bat resting on his shoulder, how he holds the bat farther out and it looks like he response time to the ball is worse.

I was a bigger fan of his previous batting stance but I noticed that when I check my voicemail I currently have no offers from any baseball team to be a hitting coach, so my opinion on this matter is worth about as much as Valbuena meant to this team.

End the stupid MLB Blackout rule. I live 2 states over from the Mariners and yet I can't watch Angels/Mariners games on MLB.TV because....

I think it's time, and it works out really well that it's the end of his contract, so he isn't being fired, or a huge shakeup, he is just stepping away after the end of his contract. Assuming the Angels let him finish out the season (He has earned it) then it looks good on both sides.

Meanwhile lets take a look at how Dave Roberts is feeling (especially if the Doyyers don't win the WS)

Good lord Albert is slow.

It really has become so predictable. The Angels will be facing a crappy team with a starter who's ERA is 4.50 and the starter will throw a no hitter through 5, the crappy team will slowly add more and more runs, then the Angels will get 1 or 2 runs in the 7th, leave men on base in the 8th, get 2 outs in the 9th, get a hit or two, and the someone will strike out to end the game.

I'm really happy to hear this and wish him a happy healthy life!

I'm somewhat happy to hear the news, but honestly I think he should have TJ surgery after the season and go from there, but then again, I'm not the one with the arm injury, or the one who would go under the knife, or the one who can throw 100mph and hit the ball 500ft so my opinion means....

It's interesting that the biggest "scandal" Mike Trout has ever dealt with is the fact that MLB wants him to "do more" to be more popular. The guy literally does his talking on the baseball field, is universally loved by fellow baseball players, Angel fans, fans of other teams, and is the official masturbation fantasy of Angelswin.com, Philliesfans.net, YankeeYankers.org, and pornhub's baseball section.

The truth is that the East Coast bias of the MLB wants Trout to play in New York or Boston, and they have a hard time understanding that maybe Trout doesn't give a flying f*ck about being the face of baseball or being a huge star. The dude just wants to play baseball, have fun, and go to the playoffs. He seemed pretty content with Ohtani getting the buzz in spring training. He is just a low key player.
