halomatt reacted to Jason in I was wrong. This is not a .500 team.
Anyone that thought this team was a .500 team going into the season had their fan blinders on.

halomatt reacted to budice0 in I was wrong. This is not a .500 team.
If they do hit rock-bottom, it'll mean a high draft pick. They've been doing .500 regardless of the payroll for so long. Finally have a chance at top talent in the Draft.
When your payroll and talent lags behind competitors, it leads to certain realities. We know Rendon. We know Trout. If the others overachieve great, but the consensus is this is not a playoff-caliber team. Ron Washington knows that.
It'll be a long season, but the realities of a rebuild with possible ownership change are looming. Hopefully for the better.

Triple-A team. Just root for the rookies to get better, not much else to write home about.

halomatt reacted to T.G. in Rendon injured again, moved to 60-day IL
Rendon never said he hates baseball. He said it's boring to watch.

halomatt reacted to Inside Pitch in Angels select Carson Fulmer and Hunter Strickland, place Silseth and Zuniga on 15 day IL, DFA Plesac (outrighted) and Soto (claimed by BAL)
They may not have unlocked him yet but they have mastered cutting him loose.

Maybe they just aren’t that good of pitchers? It may not be a complicated issue at all.

halomatt reacted to Stradling in Blum: Arte Moreno removed from "Calling All Angels" montage
Zero reason for him to be in the montage to begin with.

halomatt reacted to Inside Pitch in OC Register: Alexander: For a rebuilding Angels team, it’s all about hope
rebuilding....ish.

halomatt reacted to arch stanton in OC Register: Angels’ Jo Adell sitting and waiting for playing time
Regardless of the starting pitcher, I don't see any reason to give Moniak starts over Adell. It feels like we know who Moniak is and it doesn't merit this much playing time

So we have a Brett Kerry and a Barrett Kent. That won’t be confusing.

For those of you wondering what Wayne's $200 shirt looked like without the tie and coat....

halomatt reacted to Dave Saltzer in The Official 2024 Draft Thread
I mostly agree, but our first pick should be another fast riser, as there aren't too many and one should fall to us (either a hitter like JJ or a pitcher). There are a lot of 1B, but we have Schanuel.
After that, I mostly agree on power arms, but Caldwell could be another interesting pick. He's a bit undersized, but in some ways reminds me of El Rojo, who just made the team better. A good combination of speed, power, contact, and defense.
After a polished college player I'd focus on some.power HS arms to create another wave of pitching talent. With the staff we have, and the players in development, we can afford to take higher end HS players l create another wave of talent.

halomatt reacted to mmc in Game 6 Grades
Grading anyone or anything through one game is stupid as shit, though that's par for the course with you. Phil isn't coming back so if you're going to be terminally asshurt about the managerial change all season the only thing you're going to accomplish is making an ass of yourself

halomatt reacted to jsnpritchett in It’s time we consider signing Trevor Bauer
I've mentioned this before, but it's possible that the totality of the information MLB has is enough to scare owners off, while still not being enough to bring charges in any individual case. For MLB/the owners, maybe it's about the overall pattern of behavior.
Again: I'm not arguing for or against anything. Just pointing out a possibility.
