arte's "unfinished business" was completely blowing the ohtani opportunity and fucking this team in the ass.

maybe some day, but right now he's pretty fucking far from a #3. this season's performance doesn't even deserve a spot in a good team's rotation.

Why hasn't the coaching staff noticed?

i love the angels can fix this easily, first just sign ohtani. simple. easy peasy.
i'll just ignore the facts that firstly, not really that simple. and secondly, he's already been on the team for the last six years and they sucked nazi balls for each of those seasons.

1. New ownership. Unless that changes, this losing culture that has been with this team for 9 years will continue. 
2. See number 1.

Well, now that shit's finished. Sell the fucking team, Arte.

I hope the silver lining from this is that the owner decides to sell after losing Shohei. A guy can dream. 

i's really love to be in ameeting room with perry and his FO staff having an unfiltered conversation amongst themselves.

Really a stark contrast between one team that is playoff-caliber and another that isn't.
 

This season has to be one of the most (if not THE) most frustrating seasons to be an Angel fan.
They take Ohtani off the market and make several trades, announcing that they’re going “all in” on getting into the playoffs, only to then proceed to lose 9 of their next 11 (so far) since the trade deadline.
Instead of going all in, they should have just traded Ohtani for the best package they could get and folded their losing hand. Now, Ohtani’s going to walk and they’ll get nothing for him but a compensatory pick (as I assume he’ll get a QO).
This season was ultimately bound to fail when Arte announced that he wouldn’t be selling the team. This (I believe) is why they ended up not trading Shohei. 
 
Yeah, the injuries certainly didn’t help, but neither did the coaching staff. The team simply does not seem to make adjustments, especially the starting pitchers.
If Matt Wise and Phil Nevin are retained for another year, I’m going to have a hard look at how closely I continue to follow this team. 
 
I don’t blame Perry for the position this team finds itself in. He definitely went out and addressed needs—as much as he could. I place blame squarely on the Owner’s Box and the coaching staff, although the players themselves also share that blame. At some point, the players need to step it up, and by and large, they have failed to do so.

Dang! Angels walking around and holding on to the Astros’ pocket. 

that's awesome man. post the ticket with angelswin written on it or on a sticky note. i want to see it.

Impressive starting pitching so far this series.  Nice work, boys.  Way to keep your team in the game.

Can’t ever win the West if you piss down your leg every time you see the Astros jersey. 

i don't want to speak ill of the deceased, but clearly crunchy is the best. i like to think that lou knew that somewhere deep down.

deGrom was 26 before he saw a ML inning. Scherzer was 25 before he came into his own. Might take some time to match skill with smarts and command on the mound 

With 41 games remaining, they'll need to go 32-9 to reach 91 Wins.  Realistically, it's going to take at least that many to even have a shot at the 3rd Wild Card spot.
That's a .781 winning percentage.  Meaning they'll have to win almost 4 out of every 5 games.
It all starts at the top, and Arte Moreno is a Horrible owner, among other things.  He's made the Angels an embarrassment around the League, and it's going to take years if not decades to wipe the stink off them, after they lose one of this generation's greatest players, in the prime of his career, and get NOTHING in return.

The Angels just flat ass don’t believe in throwing a chase pitch on 0-2. Fucking unreal.

I see the Halos are still the Astros’ bitch. 

man, detmers has been a hot piece of dog shit this season.
the angels just continue to be exactly the same. totally overmatched by good teams and never able to answer the challenge.
