The talent we have should have a better record than we currently do.

I have no idea why you think that.

Agreed, who's left on the Waiver Wire?

I'll post this link again for those of you who don't have Apple TV+ and want to see the game. It's for a 2-month free trial:

They're just collecting a paycheck as our guys come off the DL they will be DFA'ed or flat out released.

These scrubs aren't staying, they're serving a purpose... 30-60-90 at bats and back to obscurity! 

It's 1980! Again....

Right, but my point is that if there are more injuries down the line, we might have to go through this same process again with different randos.

This doesn't fit neatly anywhere, but didn't necessarily feel like it deserved its own thread...But I was just thinking about all these random guys the Angels have been picking up recently.  None of them can be optioned without passing them through waivers, so I'll be curious to see what happens when some of the injured guys start coming back.  It might not even be an issue, since it's entirely possible that they'd all pass through waivers unclaimed--but as far as I can tell, Calhoun, Tucker, Guillorme, Adrianza, Pillar, and Fulmer are all out of options.

It’s a double edged sword. Sure he can act like a twat, but then  when he acts like a twat he shouldnt be surprised when nobody gives him an interview. That’s a Sam Blum problem. 

Plenty of people have given him interviews.  His in-depth interviews are great.

Yep. But keep in mind not everyone wants Stradling's extremely narrow and archaic definition of what professional reporting is supposed to be. 

@Jay

3-run HR now and they will escape losing by 5+ runs!  Go, team!  Wheeeeeeee.

Just now, fan_since79 said:

They're up 10-3 and they're throwing at us?!

No, they're not.  Washington and a couple of other folks in the dugouts are just acting like babies and trying to amp things up. 

Lol at the Angels acting like little bitches and complaining.  The dude isn't trying to hit you.  It's a 10-3 game.

Guillorme's hit and walk showcase his potential, suggesting he could be another valuable asset for the team, drawing positive attention from fans and analysts alike Jay and only Jay.

When the Angels make a comeback, it will prevent this from becoming their 9th loss by 5 or more runs.

do you work in HR

Another blowout loss lmao

This will be the 9th loss by 5 or more runs, assuming the Angels don't make a comeback.

I guess it was too much to expect Suarez to have another good outing after his 2 shutout innings a few days ago.

Dude stop it with the negative vibes 

Guillorme with a hit and a walk, which probably means the same folks who thought Tucker and Pillar might be solutions will jump on his jock now, too.

Detmers' last 4 starts:

7 innings, 9 baserunners, 4 ER

5 innings, 9 baserunners, 5 ER

5 2/3 innings, 9 baserunners, 7 ER

3 innings, 5 baserunners, 4 ER (so far)

 

 

Update: 5 innings, 9 baserunners, 6 runs tonight. We keep saying he's inconsistent, but he's been very consistent lately, allowing exactly 9 baserunners in each of his last 4 starts.  Congrats, Reid!

Rudy Stein has just as good of command as Garrett does.

 

Yep.  There's a reason his career ERA is almost 5.00 and that no one else wanted to sign him to a major league contract.
