They are a shitty bunch of people.  Their team cheated and they have one of two responses.  First response, “every team is doing it”.  Second response, “get over it, you jealous baby”.  I hope the Astros fan base stubs their toe.  

Looks like Minasian took away Maddon's excuse for not playing Adell full time. 

On paper, I'll take the 2022 bullpen over pretty much every bullpen since 2009. 

This BP gives me more hope for a successful start to the season than I've had in many years.

1. Angels have 10 or more players with 20 or more HR. Considering that in 2021, the team only had 190 HR total, with Ohtani having 46 of them, this is a fearless and bold projection.
Trout, Rendon, Ohtani, Walsh are the easy ones. Upton if healthy is five. Adell is six. Stassi, Ward are longer shots but have the power. Marsh maybe? An Infielder? Rojas? 8 would be a decent projection, but 10? 
2. Angels lead the league in Saves, and lowest BP ERA.
3. Trout, Ohtani, Rendon, exceed 25 WAR.
4. Angels win 97 games and the division.
5. Astros caught cheating again. 

Prediction: all of those players will be little more than footnotes in the Shohei Ohtani story of the 2020's.

Really, this should be easy:

I’ve already started unfollowing people who are mostly political. My feed has been too toxic.

This is so spectacular.  With my dad and brother being dodger fans, I finally have something to rip on them about this year.  They are steaming.  It’s wonderful!   

Don’t drag me into this. Lol
I just report the facts as I understand them. You guys can argue about them. 

One of the funniest stand-up bits from the late-80's had Arsenio Hall talking about the Boston Celtics ugly roster and how they used to push Danny Ainge out front to get chicks.

This team is so depressing.

I get when a pitch is barely touching the zone and a borderline call is missed but this kind of crap can't happen
 
Almost the entire ball is in the zone.  And it's not like it almost missed from top to bottom.  it's literally belt high.  
Also, it's not that I can't live with the occasional mistake, but at least put together some sort of plan to show the fans that they're trying to make it better and not just completely ignoring it.  

Nightmare crew:
Country Bumpkin West, Eddings, Diaz, and Hernandez 

I think we could judge without the box.
 
 

I get that they're not perfect, but I am so tired of the lack of accountability and recourse.  
they impact every game in the wrong way.  
as a fan, I can honestly say that it detracts from my enjoyment of the game.  

I don’t see Buttrey as untouchable ... he might be your best trade piece. The top teams are looking to bolster their bullpen. 

My dad always blamed how merciless our terrible fans were too him afterwards, rather than the homerun itself.
