Rest in peace @Lou. I love ya and we will all miss ya dearly my friend. 
He went peacefully today.
I will let @mrwicked fill everyone in tomorrow. 

Total embarrassment getting swept by M's at home. Pathetic.

This really sucks to hear. Praying for you @Lou

I love Jack Smith.

Bill Clinton perjured himself over a private sexual matter. Is that worse than attempting to subvert democracy? Obama might have been the most ethical president in U.S. history (please tell me what crimes he committed). And Biden’s son is a shithead, but no worse than Trump’s son. 

If Trump doesn’t win next year and pardon himself, or else get a pardon from one of the other MAGA republicans, he is going to spend the rest of his pathetic, senile life in federal prison. Couldn’t happen to a more decent guy. 

Regardless of outcome, I have to admit, it's great having Cron and Grichuk back with the team. They're capable hitters and there's a sense of nostalgia.
Ohtani doing incredible things is something we shouldn't take for granted. 
Moniak making good on the potential as a 1-1 has been a big boost. 
Many of us felt Moustakas should've been an Angel 5+ years ago. It's good to see it finally happen. Another local product. 
Trout is still one of the greatest hitters in the game, and getting him back healthy is something with watching. 
Bringing Giolito back home is a boost to the rotation and a fun narrative. 
Zach Neto is low key an extremely fun, energetic prospect/player that many fans back East don't know about, yet. 
Jose Soriano's journey to the big leagues was a winding road, but he's turned into a great bullpen weapon. 

They needed to do something STAT after losing Taylor Ward. 
You can't roll with Cabbage and Padlo FFS

Since it isn’t my money I would be fine with a Goldy and Contreras for a minimal return.  

The next move will be another huge move? Like Goldschmidt, Verlander, or even Juan Soto? You kind of wonder if Arte might be ready to push every chip in. I am confident they aren’t done, and confident they are looking for a game changer and not merely another role player.

I like this move. Life is short - we only have so many chances to see playoffs in our lifetime. Arte and Perry are showing real balls with this. And on paper at least, this team should have the talent to make a run. Getting Drury, Trout and hopefully O’Hoppe back will only help. 
And I’m guessing they aren’t done.

This. The schedule is brutal. There is little chance the Angels play even .500 ball going forward, let alone .667. 

I think a catcher needs to be more careful than that. 

If Shohei really liked playing here and wanted to win here still, wise thing to do is be traded for a haul and then re-sign here.

I’m not even sure I do that, depending on what happens against the Yankees.

I say no, for the reason that I think Scioscia is a terrible manager with respect to young players. He is great in many ways, but not a young player’s manager, and the game is increasingly getting younger. In fact, I don’t think he and Minasian could gel, given Minasian’s aggressive manner of promoting prospects (and presumably expecting the manager to play them). 

Good. It’s the right call. This organization needs a massive overhaul. They should be listening on just about everyone except Neto, O’Hoppe and Detmers.
