Cause he's cheating and swinging for the fences on every pitch. Easy for a good pitcher to take advantage of that kind of approach

Yeah they're def getting no-hit into the 8th inning again

Trout trying to hit a HR on every swing of the AB

That might do it honestly

Lol. An entire half inning full of deer in headlights stares. These guys are all shellshocked

Nice throw on a routine grounder. This team has like 2 functioning brain cells across the entire roster

Arte's level of spending has been fine. It's what the money has been spent on that's the issue. Right now we have the equivalent of a Ferrari and boat parked in front for a run-down trailer home (aka a Miami Special)

They haven't been successful? No way! Thanks for the mindless reductionism. It's the equivalent of saying the sun is hot and then calling everyone else a whiner when they make additional arguments because they aren't trained astrophysicists.

We've had 4 consecutive failed GM's. So clearly the people sitting above the GM in the hierarchy have no idea how to identify qualified candidates. But clearly we're all just speculating whiners and the team is fine

They then proceeded to each have 4 shots of Malort before passing out in the back alley

Looking forward to this guy giving up 4 ER in 5 IP in his only appearance before getting released

Whole team is sacrificing contact for power and as a result getting neither.

If this goes far enough into extra innings we could see 30

Live laugh love you guise

Copy and paste for pretty much every player we call up or acquire

This season's lost anyway. Spice things up, bat Trout 9th and Velasquez 3rd. What the worst that can happen, they score 1 run again?

All of them except for this one, just for argument's sake

Who's he even trying to impress with this statement? His fellow octogenarians that had their driving privileges revoked by their kids and still think the Cold War is going on?

The other problem is that there's only like 1 or 2 realistic trade partners at any given time, because you have to find the perfect mix of teams with a stacked farm system that are also willing to be aggressive in acquiring a player like Ohtani. Teams like the O's and Pirates have a strong farm system but no chance of going after Ohtani. The Rays are contenders with a great farm (Bradley/Edwards/Williams) but similarly are not the kind of team to make these kinds of trades. So you're left with the Jays, maybe the Padres and one or two more. Doesn't leave you with much leverage.

No. Look at how bad this team is already playing. Now imagine then without Ohtani or Trout. They'd be a 50 win team averaging 2 runs a game.

Quintessential Angels baseball right there

It was one of the things I predicted when Nevin took over. Now we just have to wait for him to say something racist to the media or another player. I remember people complaining because Scioscia discouraged this kind of nonsense; when it does actually take place, it makes everyone involved look dumb and immature (especially when both teams are also annually struggling to win games)

You don't? It is, after all, whats plants crave.

And the prospect trades that do tend to work out are the unexpected ones like Fields for Alvarez. It's all a crapshoot
