They fucking suck. The bullpen is complete dogshit, like every year. I’ll believe they are a playoff contender when they are actually contending in September.

That’s a really good point, I had forgotten all about the massive threat posed by the grizzly bear. Maybe I should re-think this one. 

Lol. No, I am sure his gun is locked in a safe because he is a responsible gun owner.

Yes because the man who made fun of those following COVID restrictions yet had a trunk full of masks and when infected with COVID called all the local hospitals for the antidote despite being low risk and having a less dangerous variant is someone we can undoubtedly rely on when faced with an actual life or death situation to step up and act with undeterred courage.  
 
❤️ You Larry.

The shooter had seven 30 round magazines. For home protection and hunting of course. 
 
Edit: also for feral pigs

The saddest part is if Putin would just be cool with people he would be accepted no worries.  But he has to be a dick, talk shit on people, try to get reactions from them just to show he’s a big man.  Heck most of the other world leaders he is being antagonistic towards have tried to be cool with him.  But he has to call them homos and morons and now the whole website is on edge just waiting to see if he goes nuclear.  It’s not good for anybody.

He isn’t striking out anyone, which ought to be a concern. 

I know nobody who bought a Ukraine flag to support what is a corrupt regime.  I know plenty of fucks who bought a Trump flag who support a corrupt regime. You don't like someone getting a Ukraine flag, take your loser Trump flag down. 

Agreed. If the A’s would deal Montas for Adell, I’d do it in a second. Again though, this is partially based off the fact that Ward and Marsh are proving themselves to be better options than Adell. So Adell might not even have a spot here. 

The Astros are damn good. It will be hard for the Angels (or any team for that matter) to keep pace. 

Thanks to both you and @Dochalo for your takes. A great part of this site is how many people take the time to perform these types of analysis and I very much appreciate reading them.

I saw a comp of Josh Donaldson, who was also drafted as a catcher in the 1st round (2007), eventually transitioned to 3B after a few years in the minors. Donaldson didn't get his first taste of the majors until 24 (2010), then become a star at 27 (2013) and one of the best players in the game for about five years.

That said, its funny to see this happening now, while the Mariners looked on the up and up last year, only to have us screw them the final weekend and cockblock their playoffs... then open this year poorly, and watch the Angels streaking...
... and his draft pick killing it... and having nobody know hes the one who drafted him.. lol

Just cuz I write a lot of stuff doesn't make me smart but I'm certainly not afraid to offer my opinion if that helps.  
To me it goes beyond just garden variety plate discipline.  His pitch recognition is otherworldly right now.  He spits on pitches about half a ball outside the zone with consistency.  And the one thing that I'd have to check the numbers on but just from the eye test, his plate coverage is ridiculous.  He can turn on something inside.  He'll whack a double to the opposite field.  Early on, I was always a bit concerned that his swing was a bit long but there are very few holes right now.   I would watch him in AAA where he hit .330 with a .435 obp and think that it had to be a decent chunk of smoke and mirrors and that it couldn't possibly translate even though I was a big believer that he'd be a solid major leaguer.  But you watch him and he's just in complete control of almost every at bat.  Every pitch.  It's very very impressive.  

He has made Jo Adell totally expendable.

You have to wonder if we still match well with the Marlins. With Ward demonstrating he is an everyday MLB player, and Marsh seemingly taking a step forward over last year, Adell is expendable. If he has appeal to a team like the Marlins, it would seem the pieces could fall into line for a trade.

Angel fans have punted and many are throwing the baby out with the  bath water but Jo Adell still has considerable value. 
He's flawed but not incapable and in a world where the DH is universal, a guy with 90th percentile barrel and sprint speed rates at the MLB level is already more proven than most guys on top 100 lists....  He's a 23 year old that was sent down despite a 95 OPS+, most teams would view that as a potential building block given his age.  Yoan Moncada was one if the most coveted young players in baseball after his age 23 season where he put up an OPS+ of 96 despite leading the universe in strikeouts.  Right handed power is always at a premium, probably more so now that the balls aren't juiced.  I made this same exact argument and was scoffed at by people here about Trumbo prior to his being traded.  
If the Angels are willing to part with Adell they can match a lot if not most teams.  Whether or not they are willing to punt on his potential value based on Taylor Ward having a tremendous 30 days.... Different story.

Buy low on Tyler Mahle. He has a 3.50 FIP.
