Don

start slow.
heat up and be productive.
get injured and miss a bunch of games, then start over.
this has been his cycle here. he hits well when he plays, but he can't stay on the field. not calling him a bust yet, but it's about a quarter to midnight on his clock.

I'm not singling you out, but I'm not sure what anyone has seen from Rendon the past 3 years that leads them to believe this is possible. 
Guy has been a constant question mark when it comes to consistency, look at these injuries:
2020: Oblique
2021: Left Groin
2021: Knee
2021: Triceps
2021: Hip
2022: Wrist
This latest wrist issue is just another feather in his cap, and it's not going to go away which means he's prone to be out of the lineup anytime he "aggravates" it, which could happen basically anytime he plays. 
We'll be lucky if he ever has a 100 game season with us. I don't see him getting better. 
For what he's been paid and what he's going to be paid? BUST!

Fully agreed there. In an org with reasonable depth, Velasquez is minor league depth or the last guy on the bench as a late-inning defensive replacement.

Yup, until he proves otherwise. The greatest ability is availability. 

Nah, it's still a problem. Just a more tolerable one in that scenario.

Pretty shitty AB there. Complaining about calls that were clearly strikes, and keeping the bat on his shoulder when they desperately needed a hit. Just gave the AB away.

Sweet. I think that $4.2B might actually put this thing over the hump. I know it's been a long, arduous journey; but how can anyone really put a price, either monetary or temporal, on getting from Palmdale to Bakersfield slightly faster than normal?

To be fair, if a critic gives this movie a negative review, they’re probably a terrorist. A card-carrying commie at the very least.

Gross.

These guys have zero balls.

But if we ended up firing Showalter there's a very good chance we'd win a title the next year.

Yeah, I doubt it changes anything really. I've heard Nevin is a bit of a douche from a few people over the years, but I doubt that affects his ability to win baseball games much. That said, if you lose 12 straight, especially the way the Angels have been losing, somebody has to take the blame.

I totally agree. And it sure isn't gong to be the bosses taking the blame, even if that is where blame, or at least some blame, lies.

Yeah, I live in KC. I'll probably be going to a couple games during that series. Might have some family flying out to attend as well.

You thinking Giulias or Stelvias?

If you told me in late March that this team would be 24-16 through 40 games I would’ve been ecstatic.
