Turd Ferguson

This is shaping up nicely for us to go 8 years on Correa...

Can we change the title to "DFA Guerra" and just pick back up where we left off?

So they draft the 14th ranked player in the draft, who’s a pitcher that’s throws 100 mph.  He’s said to be close to major league ready.  Fan base still shits on it.  Ok. 

That is some impressive cherry picking.

New GM, same Angels.

About effing time.

Who’s the scapegoat tonight! 

To me, its more about depth then whether I "want" these guys in our rotation. They are all over-slotted. I don't mind Shohei as a 2/3, Bundy as a 3/4, Heaney as a 4/5, Canning as a 5. Adding just 1 "1" would make this whole rotation better, IMO. I know, "Captain Obvious;" but even a solid 2 would be helpful.

The bullpen on the other hand...

Bad news for AO, who has already shelled out buckets full of cash to trademark “Buterrible”

So who replaces Pujols at the Big A? 

It has got to be Walsh right? 

I heard @Tank is having lunch with management tomorrow in this very subject.

I don't get why if it hits the foul pole it's a homer but not the horizontal yellow line.

I agree; not saying it makes sense. 

[In my best Don LaFontaine voice] *Imagine a world ... where foul poles are red...*

MLB instituted a universal ground rule this year that all yellow lines are in play.

I had no idea we were discussing whether our pen is stellar.  If so you win because it isn’t.  

Way back on page 15 was my reference to blaming our pen.

Sorry, it’s not you, it’s me. I’m extra salty about this loss.

One would think that if a team made a mockery of the sport it wouldn’t continue to get the benefit of the doubt on calls but that’s apparently not the case. 

 

Just now, Stradling said:

Except one of those things is true. 

You win, you always do.

You’re right, bad calls and my shitty math are the problem, not our stellar pen. 

Carry on.

We didn’t have a 4-0 lead. 

And we didn’t have a foul ball in the 10th.

Slight nit.  It was a 4-2 lead in the bottom of the 10th, but your point stands.

Touché. I was so fired up about losing a 4-0 lead in the bottom of the 7th that I blocked that extra inning out. 

We had a 4-2 lead in the bottom of the 9th. Trout, Rendon, umps didn’t cost us this game; our bullpen did. Again.

We badly need Rendon back at 3B. Pretty sure he makes that play and throws Straw out

Yeah, and probably injures his hammy doing it.

This bullpen is a dumpster fire. Again.

Angels bringing back the "Rolaids Relief Man of the Year" since all these dudes give me heartburn.

I’m ready to be hurt again.

Which turd polisher is on duty for this latest acquisition

Sorry, not even I can help you here.

With our luck, we would release him and he would probably go on to provide hall of fame personal services to Stl.

Damn, Orioles have a 0% chance of making the postseason. That's cold.

The Osuna news is annoying, especially with Rosenthal still sitting out there.

GRIT.
