No video feed is a poor effort 

GB going to shock the world 

Came here to say this. I never want to see him pull on another uniform 

What do we think likely timelines are 

It just got a whole lot more interesting 

Actually took the best responses and gave them a shout out on the podcast last night. Managed to record some instant reaction to the Moreno news too before I uploaded:

I'll tune in when watching Angels baseball is my best option.  I'll tune in because I like watching baseball.  I look forward to the unpredictability of any given game.

This is probably where I’m at as well. And still enjoy watching a lot of these players even when they’re not performing 

Season is long since over, we are just going through the motions until it ends. But what are you most looking forward to watching in this period of time? What or who do you want to see? What will keep you tuning in?

Of course they are going to "interview".   AKA covering their @ss.

• So far no one has put forth a better choice than Nevin.
• Add to that the players respect him;
• the team has improved in all facets since he took over. 
• Nevin has turned things around in the past 20 games,
• All without his 2 best players and losing a SP and his closer to the trade deadline.

Pretty good resume which will be tough to beat.

Of course the Angels can bring in an 2002 guy like Erstad, Kingfish, or Spezio.

Phil, is that you? 

I seem to be the only one that likes O’neal here but personally enjoy him covering games far more than Matty V.

Some of the optimism is definitely a team/network decision too. 

Hard not to feel positive about some of these guys. 

Shame there was no video feed for that one

Last nights game got to me more than most. Just so typical of our struggles. Unable to get a big hit to drive in a run and then a complete implosion.

Had a weird optimism after Sunday but that’s just foolish on my part. I’m shattered this morning too. Should have just slept

One factor to consider is signing bonuses.

Neto was underslot at $3.5M.

I’m guessing Collier’s signing bonus will be significantly higher, maybe $5M+

Yeah he got 5 mill. Definitely don’t mind us going under slot on Neto to sign a couple of good pitching prospects

So not baseball, but I thought @Lou, @WicketMaiden and @HaloSpurs would like this. What an amazing play! 

 

Brilliant catch

Hahah thankfully our pen won’t allow that 

This game is so slow. I just want to sleep

You fit in with the rest of us.

Finally, I’ve made it

https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/halfway-around-the-halo-a-uk-angels-podcast/id1551395851?i=1000565571322 - did record some thoughts about it too 

I’m so sad. On a supporter level still think he was the right manager for this team

But mainly on a personal level he has been amazing to me and to what we are trying to do over here in the UK growing the team and sport. His support meant everything. Devastated to see him go

Yes. I can’t see Arte firing Maddon. That’s his guy.  Think he’s here all year (and beyond)  

I know absolutely nothing

Is Joe part of the same "club" with Arte, Rendon, and Kurt Suzuki?

Definitely not in that club. Judging by my conversation with him when I was there
