Never forget... Blake Snell risked his life out there so we could be entertained during the summer of 2020.

Lol

Definitely the next Ted Williams

Yes. Best option by far right now. As far as addressing pitching. They were, what, 9th in mlb in era last year. Added Anderson. While you couldn't have expected a repeat of last year you could've expected better. Added Estevez and Moore. Young pitchers don't come up and have consistently good results. Some hitters do but not many starters. Detmers, Sandoval, Silseth, and Canning could make for an excellent rotation .... even next year. It didn't work out this year, but it doesn't mean the Angels ignore pitching

He's probably a good guy to have around. Especially now when you are done, the season has been disappointing, and the future is uncertain.

Nobody thought Giolito was s 1

Ben Verlander hammered the Angels yesterday for causing this. Today he got more information and posted an "emergency podcast". Good info. Didn't offer any sort of apology for the crap he said about the organization, though. Even though the info means they aren't to blame. Injuries happen... especially this one... Sometimes there's nothing you can do about it

Crazy. I could see it happening the other way, too

My mom lived in Rome

I think yall are aiming too low.

I think it was because he felt pain.

For players with 200 PA... Moniak has the 6th worst strikeout rate and 5th worst walk rate in MLB. That's the worst bb/k rate and it's not close.

Love what I've seen from him. Excited for his future. I think the Angels have filled three black holes in about one year. All with young, cheap players. Their biggest problems over the last ten years have been finding young, cheap contributors and the absolute dead spots in the order.

Tee hee hee. The guy mentioned in the thread title and the post that was quoted, numbnuts.

He lives baseball. It wouldn't be surprising though if he ultimately gets surgery before the season over.

I agree if they have a capable CF... they do defensively, but Moniak is such a mess at the plate, he shouldn't be in there every day. Also, he hurt his hand swinging a bat.

Exactly

Rendon hates baseball so much he worked for many years to build his skills to such a high level that he could hit the ball off his knee when the time was right.

Yeah yeah yeah. So he misses a month or so? Amazing

I disagree. What nobody realistically assessed with these $700 million figures was the longevity of doing both. But if he is a DH. And maybe eventually an outfielder. What doesn't go away is the advertising revenue. Maybe i's not as much as it would have been, but it'll still be significant. The guy is still worth $400 million in this market and he wasn't getting $700 million.

Did you hear then say he can't do more damage, that it's all about pain tolerance, etc? Don't use q-tips in your ears. That doesn't help you hear. Apologies if you are deaf.

I really don't. I think he cares more about doing both, creating a legacy, and winning. The dude is gonna make, what, $65-70 million this year? I also don't think it's that big of a hit. As a hitter only. If he never pitched again. He'd get Trout/Judge money

After two years of these mother fuckers yapping about Ohtani looking good in Pantene 346... I was at my local craft beer bar... when Minasian was taking questions after the game Ii went to take a photo of the TV and post something. Something in the sad realmm. The guy next to me simultaneously did the same. He saw me and said something about us both talking shit to our Angels fan friends. Yall different if you "talk shit" about your friends teams players getting hurt. Especially when they are two of the best we've ever seen on and off the field Fuck the Dodgers. Fuck Dodgers fans. Except the cool ones.

I don't think he cares about the latter
