Passan from the top rope...

At a certain point, these decisions are reflective of the Organizational Culture and Decisionmaking. People thought it would get better with Scoscia gone. Now we have to look at those above the Manager. Splash money on big name signings. But No real plan for winning, now or longer term. Just ride the Trout Train until he's tired or ready to retire.

World Series here we come.

.500 baseball with a game on the Rangers in the standings. hrm.

Let's make sure Snydergaard is bubblewrapped before he goes into the game at OF. Good lord the wind will knock him over and he'll be out 4-8 weeks.

Well its an effort to bolster the staff. Its a start.

From a time ago. And yet here we are...

Just wrapping up the Angels 2021 season now.

The part I appreciate about this thread is the fans in the Forum know where the problems exist. Just a matter of Management fixing them. Carry on.

Picture this at Angels Stadium: "Tawny, this relationship is Over." -- Chuck

ESPN certainly went all in thinking Sho gonna win it.

Post-Pujols era has begun and now we'll see how Trout and others adjust. Had to happen sometime.

Raised 2 cool kids. Quite the life, will be missed.

Obviously would've liked to have a better sendoff. Team had been about his milestones and final farewell.

"Let's Start A Winning Streak!!"

Ultimately players and staff know where they are and what to expect. Team chemistry and moral victories all fine and good. Management is first and foremost responsible for putitng a winning product on the field. The fact that Free Agents land elsewhere, especially with Dodgers and Padres, are very telling for a Angels team in the same region. Talent and needs should be filled to the point where one event doesn't impact a team significantly. Also put ownership on the Team Leaders to stress the needs for attracting talent needed to compete. None of this is new or groundbreaking. When an industry has seen teams year-after-year for 100+ years, informed opinion can be drawn as to where a team stands.
