He's BACK!!! 
 

After last years successful trip I’m back again for this whole home stand. Been at the games the last couple of nights and then will be there until Monday. You might have seen me with my union flag with the Angels logo on the broadcast last night. So far so good! Hoping for another no hitter though…

Cheers man!
this weeks episode is out now:
 

So fired up after that. Cannot fall asleep. This team needed this sort of win and hopefully can give them the momentum and belief needed for the week ahead.

Another excellent listen, well done chaps. Listened on my commute this morning into the office 

This is going to be my last comment to you.
Ward has 15 BB and 26 Ks in the majors 
Moniak has 5 BB and 28 Ks in AAA. (In his MLB career it’s 11 and 66.)
That should tell you a lot about them as hitters. 
 
Good night. 

This season feels really weird. You just want to believe it’s going to go differently to past years. The level of talent is definitely higher than previous years, but at the same time the same old problems are repeating themselves. Defensively we are nowhere near as good as we should be. Any time we face a good team, ala Yankees, Brewers etc we are beaten largely because they are doing things to a much higher level than we are in the field. The bullpen continues to blow games but it’s not strictly on them. Situational hitting is abysmal, starting pitching just not going deep enough. Nevin’s management certainly questionable too at this stage. I keep expecting them to turn things around and go on a run but I think it’s just hopeless optimism and in reality it’s going to be another season where they can never win a sustained amount of games in a row. 

Lesss gooo.  Awesome man.   I’ll check you guys out this week. 

Completely missed this last year. I think about 25-30% of the listeners are from the UK. 
 
Since I started the twitter account and podcast I think we are probably looking at between 100-150 Angels fans I’ve found in the UK, which doesn’t seem like a huge amount but we continue to grow

Been a while since I've posted one of our podcasts. Still going with the UK Angels podcast. Trying to bring a slightly different perspective with the bleary eyed viewing in the middle of the night 5000 miles away. Not sure how many of you have listened before or still do, but if you've got space for another podcast in your life would appreciate people subscribing and checking it out.
Here's the latest episode recorded earlier today (Although without my regular cohost) - thanks all

This has really bummed me out. He was such a bright spot on this team. Was exceeding all expectations early on and just looked so at home in the majors. I just hope that there is no long term impact

Not here!  All of us remain calm at all times.

Man this system is exciting me to start the year. So many guys to keep an eye on

I’ve actually heard that’s it’s pretty much a done deal to the Dodgers already and that MLB would like him there. Something like a $600 million contract 

He’s being treated for insomnia and headaches. I don’t know any more and it’s not really my business to ask for details. I’m sure when he gets back he will tell us what he wants.
