  1. I hope we become like cardinals fans when pujols signed with the angels. Really angry but then thanking their lucky stars that they did not win the bidding wars.
  2. Stupid contract. Will quickly become a have issue as he becomes an aging DH. Glad it’s the dodgers cause it’s a huge mistake.
  3. The point is the amount of time it took for him to come back, not that he needs to come back now. It seems that all his injuries are predicted to be out for a certain time but it always seems longer. Just another example of that. Is he a “slow” healer? Is he unwilling to play with any discomfort at all? Is the medical Staff of the Angels messing these guys up with incorrect rehab timelines or trying to do too much too soon?
  4. Is this trout or the medical teams the Angels are using. On trouts end we have heard that he can’t damage this if he is willing to play through some discomfort. It seems he is not. or, is it the Angels using bad medical teams giving either wrong diagnoses or not rehabbing properly with this injury there seemed to be a fairly standard recovery period he did not meet.
  5. What’s the point of putting any percentages on something no one knows anything about. Anyone who puts less than 100% can later say they were right. If fletcher is closer to the truth with 30% will you say he was more wrong if he doesn’t sign here. we will all wait and see.
  6. This. As long as he pitches and insists on every sixth day, that team is actually worse off for having him on the pitching side.
  7. This game highlights what I hate about the extra inning rule. You should have to do at least one positive thing to win a game. Even if you start that runner at first, you can’t score him with two clean outs. Even a walk and a stolen base to get there is something. Shouldn’t be able to win with two groundouts.
  8. Sometimes good managers of any business (GM in this case) has to be willing to make difficult choices for the health of the business. Go back 5-6 years and there was significant talk about trading mike trout for a massive haul. Now no one has any idea whether that would have changed the past few years but it could hardly have been worse. the same franchise faced with the same decision and unable to make the difficult choice. hopefully the next 6 years are different than the past 6 years after the trout decision. I know that there is plenty of support for signinghim and maybe it was the right thing, but don’t you sometimes have to ask”what if?” Now, I hope mike trout HAS to say that he has no idea what ohtani is gonna do, I really hope that. The alternative is that these guys don’t talk at all. After 5 years together no talks about the biggest decision in ohtani’s future, especially when it mirrors trouts decision 5 years ago.
  9. “Roland” Acuña will be happy to hear he is the best. It’s all health. If he healthy he is still top 10.
  10. And yet you seem to have all this inside information. see how easy this is…. I spoke to a friend who is a major leaguer and he said that all his teammates love Rendons snarky attitude toward the press. He does what they wish they could do.
  11. He comes across as humble, but is he? Look right now. Why not start the treatment now? What is there to gain by playing out this season even if no more damage to the arm if not selfish reasons for stat building. Getting the elbow fixed now starts the rehab process now. If he heals quickly he could be back in a year for a teams playoff run. another unicorn question though. Yes a repaired UCL can bat earlier than throw but if trying to get back to pitching would batting slow down the healing process?
  12. Yeah the angels pitching staff was ravaged by injuries all year. Perhaps building an older core makes injuries more of a threat. Lots of young teams doing well, lots of high dollar older teams doing poorly.
  13. “Given his importance based on the size of his contract he should not play again until he is totally at 100%” - Cal Ripken Jr
  14. The television revenue dwarfs the tickets sale revenue. That is The real reason they are making so much money. The worst thing you can do to boycott is watch the game on television, you are driving the ad revenue. Read a book to boycott.
