Inside Pitch

Nate Smith named to the Futures Game... Only Angel.

I thought the real hilarity was when people got pissed off the Angels drafted another "catcher" this year.

That's how you get made a manager with no prior experience....

John doing John things... everyone else benefits. Thanks again

Might just be the Trout effect -- those two were super close.

I'd prefer to stay away from NL pitchers as a whole.... I think out best shot at adding talent is to go with minor leaguers. More risk, but they might be more easily obtained that guys that have established themselves.

BTW, Cal.. You might not be able to notice since that Arte hate is a bit blinding but the links I posted in response to Gotbeer pretty much support the opinion that Arte is making a mint and he's being a twat. Don't think my pointing out your BS means I think Arte is above questioning or a saint of some kind.

Dude, you're not going to out-lawyer me... You made a distinct claim -- one we both know is pure agenda drive tripe.. You can't admit to the BS ....that's fine but let's be clear.. it was BS... Obsessions are a real thing....

Pre.... The Angels get more from the National TV deals now than they did the local broadcasts in 09. http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/the-new-national-tv-contracts-and-2014-payrolls/ The local TV revenue is way way up... http://www.fangraphs.com/blogs/estimated-tv-revenues-for-all-30-mlb-teams/

You claimed Moreno closes the concessions and sends people home.... Does paying him rent also mean he gets to tell them to shut it down and send people home? I'm interested in the facts, not agenda driven hyperbole. So, answer the question -- Does Arte Moreno call the shorts for Legends.. It's a yes or no question.

Tell us more about how much you don't care..

Yes -- more for you to police.. This is the thread where you told us how you don't care what we think and the one I pointed out that the three guys you claimed weren't carrying the Mariners are in fact carrying the Mariners. Hows learning to "deal with it" coming along?

So Arte calls the shots for Legends Hospitality now?

Cez is here all the time -- he pops people, he gives, he takes, he just isn't a moron about it. The dude actually contributes to the site -- so does Sneaky Flute (Ranger fan). Nobody is going after you because you're a Mariner fan -- people are calling you out because of your chest thumping in May. Beyond that ...you popped off then got all salty when your comments were thrown back at you. Are you really that dim? Dipoto was the GM here for 3.5 years. This team still has his fingerprints on it.... He will likely remain a topic of conversation until that isn't the case anymore and even then I suspect his name will come up when people talk about Angels GMs, particularly given the way he exited. So, instead of telling us to "get over it" maybe you would be wise to learn how to "deal with it" or maybe you should ask yourself why you are so concerned with what we talk about in the first place.. it's not like it affects the Ms in any way.... Better yet, would you like for me to show you where you went on record saying you "don't care what Angel fans think"... If that's the case... why are you here white knighting JD and the Ms? LOL....the utter arrogance it takes to go to an opposing team's message board and question what they are or should be talking about is hilarious. I guess there is no mention of Jack Z anywhere in Mariner land, right?? ... I mean, he's no longer an employee of the Mariners.... right? As AO would say -- Stop it, just stop it...

Terry Collins is a noted arm killer -- there is history there, a history most Angels fans vividly remember.

You know the nice thing about Eppler not talking is we don't have to read news stories about the players telling him to STFU....

Arte is the one constant -- the Hamilton deal is easily his lowlight.

Spendy Arte played a part in this -- but I'm guessing he was under the impression that the GM wouldn't completely fail at the draft game... Lots of blame to go around...

Sounds like Terry Collins is getting snippy about possibly ruining another arm

LOL -- very not true -- but very very funny.

JD was able to skate for four years in large part because "he inherited Reagins' mess"... Is there anyone alive that would trade the conditions JD inherited for what Eppler got from JD? Anyone sane I mean... Both men had to deal with Arte but at least JD got spendy Arte.

Hey, found your youtube channel.. Good stuff.

LOL.... 14 pitches, 14 strikes early on.

I remember Bill Stoneman never said shit.. He let his body of work speak for him.
