Margaritas?

Yes?

Oh I get it -- I just dont want to see another guy pushed into something and then being worse off for it.  

Call me a hater, but there's a part of me that is enjoying seeing their refusal to add IF help or sign an OFer come back to bite them in the ass.  I wasn't in the "sign the big guys" camp, but I wanted them to make sensible offers to people who weren't absolute trash. There was nothing, absolutely nothing that would have kept them from playing the young guys AND making an attempt at safeguarding themselves by signing capable players. 

People can say that it takes two to tango and the sort, but there's enough info out there to know who the Angels did and didn't make offers on.  

 

I mean, seriously fuck this shit if Pillar is the move

I havent looked, but unless he's got a platoon split opposite Moniak's he's maybe better suited to stay in AAA for a bit.

I just don't want Calhoun or some other complete reject up here.

For some strange reason, I feel compelled to go to the dispensary.  

This will be the first of a few margaritas for me tonight. 

Just blow the whole thing up.  Hell, bring up Rada and Fontenelle.  Dana, too.  Let's at least have some fun.  If Willie fucking Calhoun and Cole Tucker get significant playing time moving forward, the team will be unwatchable.

I see ticket sales dipping a tad now. 

Or, at least, the re-sale market for season ticket holders will crater.

Compare this to how Rendon acts in front of the media.

I don't really want to.  Can you do it for me?  Thanks.

I have a bad feeling whoever said Willie Calhoun will be right. Not sure Adams would be much better though. All I see there is defense and SBs. 

Good chance for Adell and Moniak to get basically everyday playing time now though, which I am hopeful for.

Yeah, I'd prefer to see Adell and Moniak pretty much every day, as well.  I don't want Calhoun anywhere near the field--which, of course, means it probably will be him.

Also injured!

Jordyn Adams could get the call, if they don't want to make another 40-man move.

He says he's not sure when the injury occurred.

How does a MLB player with that much service time get sent down?  How is that even possible?  I'm guessing he went voluntarily?  Strange.

The tweet says "both sides decided," so, yes, he went voluntarily.  After five years of MLB service time, a player has the right to refuse an option/assignment, so in this case, he obviously sees some value in doing it to help him get back on track.

"Fontenelle's had a good 67 PA in the minors - looks like he's ready for the majors."

Tbh, if the Angels keep losing over the next couple weeks and it becomes clear that Rendon is going to miss 2+ months, it actually wouldn't surprise me at all if they called up Fontenelle.

You were his target audience!

He finally hit a target!

Team needs more unprepared College Prospects and PreMadonnas with glass ankles, then I'll buy season tickets!

How about some PostMadonnas? And what would PreMadonnas be? Marilyn Monroe?

This game is a day old dead and obviously @No Roles got confused. Let's move on. 

Two days, but who's counting...

Very strange game all around, but if they can pull this one out, maybe this can jolt some life back into the team moving forward. 

Just now, PattyD22 said:

Thank God for that gift.

Yeah, that's something that would typically happen TO the Angels. 

Lol, guess it ended up working out--and with Tucker, no less.

Why are you bunting down two runs, with two guys on, no outs, and with one of your best left-handed hitters hitting?
