James got a reaction from HaloBronco in Perry is a very not good GM
Perry is the first GM in awhile that seems focused on building the farm back to where it must be to compete.
I can agree or disagree with the points of the OP but the underlying truth is, this is what happens when you aren't consistently developing talent. The GM is forced to make moves that he may not even be the biggest fan of but still makes it due to immediate need with zero internal options.
Lastly, when one says things like, "failed frontline starters" and then mention guys who no GM would consider frontline starters or places Ohtani leaving on the GM when the world knows that wasn't on the GM or complains about extensions that didn't impact the organizations ability to spend or states that a falling out with a manager that couldn't find another job in baseball is a big deal, it kind of negates other viewpoints that may indeed be accurate.

James got a reaction from Angel Oracle in Gameday Thread (4/10/24 1pm): Rays @ Angels: Soriano on the mound, Rengifo, Adell in, no Rendon, Schanuel
Early season it seems like Moniak has really worked on his plate discipline. Hopefully that continues.

Nope, had he broke his foot on the ball hit back at him, that would have been worse.

James got a reaction from T.G. in Perry is a very not good GM
And Efflin was never an option. He said that he was heartbroken when the Rays didnt draft him. Its where he wanted to be, he wasnt coming to the west coast for that same money.

James reacted to PattyD22 in Opening Day Last Night
I wasn’t trying to be a dick @James. I was being serious. I don’t buy tickets. I have tickets.
Every once in a while I get an email asking about service and food, etc. let them know your thoughts. It can’t hurt. I was saying your opinions were good.

Some players seem to perform extra well on their birthdays.

I truly hope that wouldn't be how our manager picked his lineup.

He is actually forward thinking and knew us fans would use them as flags.

James got a reaction from Amazing Larry in A's entering purchase agreement for stadium site in Las Vegas to build $1.5 billion stadium opening in 2027
Dodger stadium has had much more extensive renovations. Walk the two and they are night and day.
Angel Stadium is okay but should okay be good enough? Its showing its years at this point and you aren't seeing all the underlying issues and restrictions that a 50 plus year old stadium has.
