Lol Taylor Ward announces Taylor Ward is being called up.

Haha. Poor Vlad though.. At least the Angels still have Kole-man.

A's have an LF named Pinder, we have an LF named Upton Kate Upton vs Lucy Pinder who wins ? @Dochalo

8 pitches 3 outs. Can he replace NoeShit Ramirez ?

Does Cowart have anxiety like Brandon Wood ? That destroyed Wood from ever hitting MLB pitching. Imagine the pressure Ward will feel: Cowart, Wood & McPherson came before him & look how they did. To be fair McPherson always had at least a .740 or higher OPS with the Angels but he got injured from just stepping on the field.

That would be cool if you could have 1 player in the lineup who gets a PR every time he hits the ball, Figgins career would have lasted longer.

Dipoto on his honeymoon after failing to get the inside report on which prospects are the best to draft & keep from their system.

So that makes Dipoto = Beakes while Eppler & Arte are Winthorpe & Valentine lol. I hope Dipoto is enjoying being in that cage.

Since the article points out he's a solid playmaker, he should be on a line that lacks one such as the 3rd line. Having him play with guys who can put the puck in the net works well as he's good at setting up other players. If the Coyotes were in a different division they might have traded him there already if he waived his NMC but no one wants to live in that desert city with an empty arena.

and when next years trade deadline happens DiPoto will be screaming " Tell them to Sell ! Sell ! Sell !" & "Turn those machines back on !" after the deadline has ended.

I'm only 32.

True. Kase likes to have the puck alot so he might not fit with Stone(who likes to have the puck as well), With Stone he can do the playmaking thus taking some of burden off of Kesler to create plays on his line, Kesler could just focus on his shooting cause Cogs is gonna miss on some of those great passes by Stone.

What if Ryan has instant chemistry with Getzlaf (while Eaves starts out slow) & they reunite them on the top line ? Ryan/Getzlaf/Rakell Kase/Kesler/Stone Cogs/Henrique/Eaves Gibbons/Rowney/Roy Still a part of me will be sad to never see Jones play with Perry & Kesler. Just for the LOLs I'd like to someday see them try a game with a Troll line of Jones/Kesler/Perry that agitates the other team to hell but could also try Jones/Kesler/Ritchie.

Cause its a comedy. CGI & Make up can do wonders. Did you know that Will Ferrell named a character Gene Mauch in one of his movies cause he's an Angels fan ? Imagine him playing Hatcher yelling at his players to swing at everything.

They need to make a movie about the 2002 Angels. GA to be played by Denzel Washington, Dean Cain as Tim Salmon, Jake Busey as Erstad, Tony Cox from Bad Santa as Figgins, Anthony LaPaglia as Scioscia, Luis Guzman as Bengie Molina, Peter Dinklage as Eckstein, the monkey from Outbreak as the Rally Monkey, Vince Vaughn as Fullmer, Ryan Eggold(is from OC) as Glaus, Matthew Lilliard(another OC actor) as Washburn, Will Ferrell(from Irvine) as Mickey Hatcher, Normal Reedus as Spiezio, michael mando as K-Rod, Kevin Costner as Percival, Jim Carey with lisp as AK. Diedrich Bader as Rex Hudler & David Spade as Steve Physioc. For the Giants, Ving Rhames as Barry Bonds, Edward Norton as Rich Aurilla, Danny Trejo as Benito Santiago, Jeffrey Dean Morgan as Jeff Kent.

Oh yeah the roids, completely forgot about it. Was so obvious when guys like Eckstein were hitting Grand Slams in back to back games in 2002 or how AK hit 3 HRs in a ALCS game despite hitting only like 3 in the regular season, maybe AK started roids during the season & it didn't kick in until the ALCS. Erstad's 2000 season was one hell of a spike in performance. Fullmer was Roid Rage in that epic photo of him charging out of the dugout with scioscia trying to stop him.

What line would you put Ryan on ? Assuming they sign Mark Stone long term that trade is a huge win, Stone had over a point per game last year 62 points in 58 games & only 26 years old.

The training staff did a better job back then. Players weren't dropping like flys onto the DL.

I can't wait to watch Taylor Ward interview Taylor Ward about Taylor Ward for Taylor Ward.

Taylor Ward is both a reporter & a prospect for the Angels ? lmao

Players, manager & coaches..... He'll recruit some of his buddies from his playing days on the As for his coaching staff & alot of those guys couldn't stay healthy. If he hires Nick Swisher as hitting coach i'd be on board with that, he'd be the anti-mickey hatcher, he'd call 1st pitch swinging a false stat.

Did he get Decked on his way down to AAA ? The way he's pitched i wouldn't be surprised........

Thats a relief. Unless of course Gabe Kappler gets struck by lightning or something lol.

What if keeping Scioscia prevents him from going to Philly where they will use him to lure Trout in 2020 ? & the Angels get into a bidding war where they would have to massively overpay to keep Trout from signing with his favorite team.

If Scioscia leaves to go manage the Phillies (if they fired their manager knowing Scioscia wants to go to them) would people be even more worried about Trout leaving ? Scioscia is from PA, a town only 2.8 miles from Philly, he'd be managing his home team.
