In episode 18 Victor Rojas and Chuck Richter discuss the latest news about Shohei Ohtani, and Mike Trout. Victor reads a fiery text to Angels owner Arte Moreno, how Anthony Rendon needs to go & C.J. Wilson's tweets about his time with the Angels. There is so much meat in this episode you better bring an appetite, and we hope you like it spicy!
Love the letter, Vic! Impressive!

I hope you're right Chuck. The Angels have treated him very well. I don't think Ohtani is a despot. Yes, he wants some autonomy but it's hard to believe that the Angels have no say on what he does.

Is it really? I just have a hard time taking this kind of talk seriously when it comes from anonymous sources. Maybe it is true. I know the optics on Rendon looks bad, but I tend to give people the benefit of the doubt. He once said "WATCHING baseball was boring" and people took that and turned it into "he HATES baseball."
This isn't me defending him. This is me trying to look at things objectively. He's had bad luck. He did something really stupid in Oakland. I see all that. Again, the optics look bad. None of us really know the truth. And it doesn't help that he won't speak to the media. I get all that.
I just hope the truth comes out at some point, regardless of what that truth actually is.
I agree and maybe at this point it's self-pity. I mean, all the injuries and the "hate" from the fanbase could cause a player to go the other way.

Eventually these bad times will end and the other teams will suffer for it.

Happy Birthday to you!

Yeah, my birthday is on Monday and if that game doesn't get rained out, I might try to snag some last-minute tickets to see the new kids in person.
I'll be seeing the Angels on the 27th in a suite through my job, first time for me. I think Silseth is pitching too and it will be great to see all the new faces. Perhaps Trout will be back by then also.

Here's another question: would you say your average pitcher is better or worse than the machine?

Detmers needs to figure out how to develop consistency at this level so taking him out of the rotation is not going to help him. Keep him in.
If Canning is healthy, they can't ignore the option of letting Detmers take a break in AAA. I think going to the bullpen is out of the question. He needs innings to try to figure things out.

I'm surprised Verlander is only 15-11 against the Halos. He's going to be totally amped up tonight though. His first home start back in Houston. That crowd is going to be electric. Detmers needs to go back to pitching like he was in June.
Verlander is a first ballot Hall of Famer. I heard an interesting bit of trivia about another first ballot Hall of Famer yesterday. Jim Palmer faced 213 batters in his career with the bases loaded. He never gave up a grand slam.
Wow! That's fantastic. I wonder what's the average from those situations. HBP? Walks?

The updates on Rendon have been regular enough. If nothing is changing they aren’t going to say that every day.
As of Wednesday, he still isn’t doing any baseball activity, which means he’s not close to returning. As soon as he gets cleared to do that, you’ll know.
Nothing has changed with Stassi. At this point there’s not enough season left for him to come back.
Thanks, Jeff.

Another topic on Rendon, sick. Honestly so tired of hearing fans complain about Rendon. He's hurt and he's not even what the roster needs the most right now, get over it. Already have the ReDone Wuss thread which irks me every time I see it because why? What a stupid thread title.
Obviously Stassi has bigger things than baseball going on in his life. We haven't heard about the specifics because it's none of our business. "Family matters" isn't good enough for you? Does it need to be confirmed to you that someone died or something so you can accept his absence? He wasn't even going to be the main catcher on this roster.
And you made a topic on Lorenzen too. Because he threw one of the most random no-hitters we'll see based on his pitching ability. Wow, you're quite on fire this morning. Riveting stuff.
Just curious. I'm not trying to be inflammatory.

We got Anderson instead of him.
I meant for the trade deadline.

My name it's Patrick (known as PJ) to my brother Lou. My family and I have been following this since it was first posted and even created accounts. Most know by now that Lou passed peacefully in his sleep on August 8th at approximately 5pm while The Ocho was on TV (c'mon, you know he loved all sports even the weird ones, like Cricket). He constantly bragged about AngelsWin, all the fun times he had here and the trips to watch The Halos play, home and away with you guys. You all were his extended family and loved every minute he spent on here. To see him spend his last several days reading your posts and thoughts about him brought a smile (and tears) to his face, as it did his brothers and sister. All of us have also been keeping up with this post and you will never know how much we appreciate the love, memories, thoughts and especially the pictures you have shared. Our greatest memory with him was being in the front row at the left field foul pole for the Angels 2002 World Series win. All of us hugging and crying tears of joy at the site we thought we would never see. Close 2nd was Barry Bonds flipping us off during the game because Lou kept leading our entire section in a "sterrrroooooids!" chant while we were jamming a Thunderstick into our arms. Honor him by keeping his memory and stories alive. Celebrate his life. "LouDogg" was a smartass until the end and continued to make us laugh until his last breath.
Sincerely,
The Garcia Family
GO HALOS
Thanks, PJ. My condolences to you and his loved ones. Lou will always have a place in our hearts.

You guys are tough.

Has anyone heard anything of late? Why don't the Angels give at least semi-regular updates? I mean, these are supposedly our starters.
-
I agree Junky. An increase in wins will still be an improvement especially with all the adversity this year. Maybe Ohtani will think, "The team won this many with all these injuries. What's the chances that we can be this hurt in 2024?"
-
Just saw the condensed clip of his no-hitter yesterday. Kudos to him but I really think it's a "baseball" thing. He was pitching to the right team on the right day. I like him but I'm glad we got Giolito instead of him.

It’s generally accurate but fails to mention the angels have some solid young players ready to contribute at the major league team.
It’s not the Orioles young core but Neto, O’hoppe, Adell, Moniak, Thaiss, with Schaunel seeming to be close to major league ready in the position player side is nothing to scoff at. They have Drury, Trout, Rengifo, Ward, Rendon (LOL), any FA signing to compliment them on the position player side. Kyren Paris is having a solid season and seems to be the future 2B in a couple years.
pitching side we did develop Canning, Sandoval, Detmers, Ohtani, Silseth all while having the worst farm system in baseball.
There are some random good prospects sprinkled in to each level right now, aside from AAA. Nothing that jumps out at you, but still something to look forward to at least.
If Adell finally figures it out, this team will be something.

Great episode! I really enjoyed the passion. It's not easy being an Angels fan. I've been a fan since '79 and I don't think it's ever been easy. I appreciate the thoughts and insight.
