At this point, might as well have Fletcher’s defense. Altuve put a hex on Rengifo in the wbc.

I think us diehards need to take a step back. Arte clearly caters towards the casual fan. Which I think is totally fair. It’s near Disneyland and it’s the conservative family environment that is the antithesis of the Dodgers. That’s the business model. If they win, it’s a bonus and he’s put stars on the field.Nothing about this move is shocking. And if you listened to AM830 it’s not a place for riveting debate. They read you stat lines and sunshine pump and to me that’s fine. The diehards can seek out the stories and subscribe to Blum and Fletcher on their own. It’s not the Angels responsibility to advance Sam’s investigative journalism career. It’s bad PR but Sam Blum probably wants the attention. It’s good for him. Enjoy the product Perry put on the field this year because it’s going to a fun one.

Estevez’s stuff doesn’t feel “closer” worthy. Looks very hittable. Fastball is flat and slider doesn’t move a ton.

I think Perry is giving Fletch the boot. Fletcher didn't adjust when teams adjusted to him. Seems like they play him perfectly every time. (hugging the right field line) Unfortunately he is not Andrelton Simmons with the glove or he would still be the starter at SS. Utility man at best.

The bullpen is what spearheaded our 14 game losing streak last year. Hopefully we don't let it snowball. Short leashes on these guys. Most don't deserve a long leash anyway.

Nice to have a guy who puts the ball in play. He's insurance for Rendon and a great platoon with Walsh.

Don’t see a ton of risk here. Not super expensive and is an innings eater. And if he repeats last yr it’s a giant home run. Giving up the pick and money is not ideal but Angels will have new ownership and will hopefully buy there way out of this anyway.

There was no other possible conclusion to that at-bat other than a Duggar K.

Iglesias is a huge reason why this season went south. The blowpen started the downfall. Getting out of 4 yrs of expensively blown saves is a great move by Perry.

Don't we have some younger outfielder in the farm that can play center?

I think this means all options are on the table.

Firing maddon was panic move by Perry. Now, without maddon this team feels even more lost. We were 10 games over .500 this season. SHould have had a longer leash. Very dumb.

Team looked tired in Texas. The double header didnt help. It looked hot as shit in Texas too. Texas is not as bad as their record shows. We still battled and should have won 2/3. Much needed day off.

Nothing about Rojas pinch hitting for Adell makes sense to me.

Facing a Lefty Curveball specialist Game 1 was a recipe for disaster. Rendon and Ohtani just missed homers that would have won the game. Pitching looked great aside from tepera. Hate Duffy batting 4th. Lineup looked like it could have used Upton last night.

1.4 Whip.. should fit the mold.

We can do better than Walsh in right field.

Starting to think that the 6-man rotation is deterrent

Trading for Luis Castillo and signing either Ray/Scherzer/Stroman puts you in the World Series conversation. I think THAT should be the goal.

Love the aggressive move and I’m buying what Perry is selling.

Angels have to take a gamble in on kershaw, scherzer or verlander. All will be short term contracts. You have to sign one.

Sign ohtani

Starting to feel like our SP has a bright future. Also, they currently aren't killing this team. If you trade Adell for a starter we will regret it. Do everything you can to get bullpen help. Also, Adell & Marsh will be cheap contributors which will be highly necessary when we open the checkbook for Ohtani. Which should be the number one priority moving forward.

If you know anything about drugs, this was not some sort of corporate conspiracy. Guys talk and guys do drugs with other people that do drugs. Regardless of their employer.
