Sure, nab him and trade an OF.

In all fairness, a P with a career ERA of "inf" should fit in well with this team. 

I would normally agree, but this is such a quintessential Angels move that I can't dismiss it outright.

I'm hoping we swing a cheap deal for Alfaro today.  Marlins rumored to be considering non-tendering him

I think the sky fell years ago. Every offseason, I have a similar approach to you -- don't judge the offseason too early, let the FO do its thing. And every season I see us rolling in with the same piecemealed rotation.
I hope I'm wrong, but this just looks like more of the same.

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?

Japanese characters (Kanji) was an import from Chinese characters in ancient age.
Names are written with surname-first order in East Asian cultural sphere including Japan.

'Oh' means 'big' or 'great', and 'tani' means 'valley'. 
'Ohtani' means 'big valley' in Japanese, ...has nothing to do with Barkley Ranch.
Ohtani-san's first name is after the activity of the younger brother of Shogun in the medieval (more than 800 years ago) of Japan and the name of the headquarter (near Ohtani-san's birthplace) of the independent local regime that temporarily protected this younger brother of Shogun.　(Details omitted. From the interview article of Ohtani-san's mother (2013)).

Chinese character (Kanji) 'sho' can be divided into two parts. Left part means 'fly high', and is a hieroglyphic 'sheep', which was a symbol of property and an auspicious animal in ancient China. Right part is hieroglyphic 'wings'.
'Sho' means 'spread wings and fly high', this character is popular for naming boys in Japan.

Chinese character (Kanji) 'hei' is often used for a boy's first name.
---------

'Ichi' means the number 1, often used to name the first child.
In Japanese, pronunciation is shortened from Ichihei to Ippei.
 

Chinese character (Kanji) 'ro' is also used for a boy's first name.
In the case of Ichiro, the pronunciation doesn't change.
Both of 'Ippei' and 'Ichiro' are usually the name given to the eldest son (*).
*, Usually, it is the name that can be worn by the eldest son, but Ichiro is the second. 
He was named "Ichiro" using the letter "Ichi" from his grandfather "Gin-ichi".

Fuck Manfred

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. 

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. 

 

This bullpen is a dumpster fire. Again.

I’m ready to be hurt again.
