The_Outrunner

I was hoping for just 1 run and they go and get me 6.

Adell hammered the ball in four of his five at bats today.

Back to back Woooooo

Here we go. 
Name: California Angels
Uniforms: 1972-1992 version but with current logo.
Color scheme: Same colors, however the silver halo is replaced with gold. 

Most measurements had Bachman going somewhere between 6th and 15th. Average was like 11th or 12th pick of the draft. The Angels getting him at 9 is almost exactly where he should've gone. 

I like this pick and I assume no one knows or cares enough for there to be outrage over this pick however considering negativity is a requirement on this board I’ll instead throw a tantrum that you created the thread 10 seconds before I did

It sounds like they chased stuff.  Hopefully it works out.  What else can you say.  I think it’s hard for most fans to have a really strong opinion on this.  Maybe a handful of guys on AW actually have good insight into this.  Most don’t. 

@Angel Oraclecan we get a ruling on this nickname?

Here's the MLB.com blurb about Bachman:
"Miami (Ohio) has produced 13 big league pitchers (most notably Charlie Leibrandt) as well as Bill Doran, Adam Eaton and Tim Naehring via the Draft, but it's Bachman who should become its first-ever first-round pick. An immediate starter as a freshman in 2019, he kicked his stuff up a notch in the Grand Park Summer League after the coronavirus shutdown and then again during fall practice. Some scouts have given top-of-the-scale grades to both his fastball and spring, when he ranked second in NCAA Division I in WHIP (0.77) and fourth in hits per nine innings (4.4). 
After working at 91-94 mph for much of his first two college seasons, Bachman now sits at 94-97 and hits 101 with plenty of armside run and sink. His slider also has gained more power, operating in the mid-80s with nastier bite and destroys left-handers and right-handers alike. His deceptive, heavy changeup in the mid-80s gives him at least a solid third offering. 
Bachman averaged 4.1 walks per nine innings during his first two college seasons but is providing more consistent strikes after improving his conditioning and athleticism during his layoff. He does come with some reliever risk because he's 6-foot-1 with a short arm action and a low three-quarters arm slot, and he did miss two early-season starts with a tired arm. He's strong and competitive, however, and should remain a starter if his upgraded control and command are for real."

Contract with Angels also expires ($30M this year - $224M total). 10 years with the club. (.257BA, 24HR, 85RBI per yr). 1 All-Star Appearance.  Feel free to check the math.

2/20M! Go offer Odorizzi the same deal and punch that Wild Card ticket. 

I could totally picture him being a hitting coach.
Lissin Mang, choo gotta heet da ball vey fah. Den pop da chang ashoo yog da bases muh fren. 
Brilliant.

Watch Arte pull out of the trade, fire Callaway then sign Bauer.

If the Angels are done with regards to their starting pitching I will be disappointed. I'd still like for the club to acquire a Marquez type or just back up the MF truck up of cash for Bauer. Trade Heaney for prospects or a reliever. Sign a RF. 

Look how quickly some are moving into "acceptance".  Guess practice makes perfect.  

The one fucking time I sleep in because of getting home from a late flight the Angels make an early morning trade

Henry?

i'll go get my checkbook.

looks like a good time to call them about charlie blackmon.

I agree with that. For all we know that happened. 

If we don't get Hand, will everyone point the finger at Minasian?

Bauer saga: day 88
We find our subject taking a break from tweeting all day to see how many  times he can still throw a baseball from the mound into the CF stands.
