I have a lot more faith in Cobb than in Quintana. Cobb's stuff just looks better and he's had better control so far.

I don't post a lot on this forum, but I wanted to bring a little of optimism to the table... I truly believe this is the best team we've had in the past five years and I'm confident it can make the playoffs if healthy.
When healthy, the lineup is arguably the best in baseball. I was just looking at old opening day lineups for the angels. Compare our ideal (healthy) lineup to 2019 (last full season) and it's not even close:
2021: Fletch, Ohtani, Trout, Rendon, Walsh, Upton, Stassi, Schebler/Lagares, Iglesias
2019: Calhoun, Trout, Bour, Simmons, Pujols, Cozart, LaStella, Lucroy, Bourjos
The team's success is going to depend on the pitching, but if the offense produces as it should, the pitching only needs to be average to slightly above average. And it seems like the Angels have suffered from bad luck. They lead MLB in BABIP at .322 and they have by far the largest differential between their ERA and FIP at 1.40 (the second closest sits at 0.87). So there should be some progress in the future.
I understand the frustration when the team doesn't perform but I think we should at least wait until everybody is healthy until we cast a judgement. After all, they were playing very good baseball up until Rendon and Stassi got hurt.

We badly need Rendon back at 3B. Pretty sure he makes that play and throws Straw out
- cals, Chuck and ten ocho recon scout

Is there any way to watch this game with an mlb.tv subscription?

Rendon looks really happy to be an Angel!
-
I know this is off topic, but looking at the contracts handed out this offseason, Patrick Corbin's 6-year/140 million deal really looks like a bargain!

He became a free agent last week. Had some very solid years under Callaway in Cleveland. He's dealt with injuries but is still only 29.
What do you guys think of him as a buy-low candidate for the bullpen or rotation?
-
Didn't see that coming...

Bobby Abreu. Especially early on.
The Angels got great value from him when they signed him to a 1-year, 5 mil contract in 2009 and he produced a 3.2 WAR season.

Isn't he an Eppler acquisition?

I'd like to see Goodwin leading off

Kendrys Morales is pitching for the A's in a 9-0 game. Gotta love these blowout games!
