I’m not going to take a lot away from 1 game but not a fun start. Basically all of the worries we had about the team were all compounded into one game. Young guys struggling to carry the offense, starting pitching being questionable, bullpen meh, and the defense not looking strong. this might be a long ass season…

We lost 11-3…. the hell kind of grades do you think they are going to get??

Metrics for Success first 20 games
TroutField replied to Swordsman78's topic in LA Angels | MLB Daily
Above .500 and the starting rotation looks good 1-5 and the bullpen is lights out. Also Trout looks like Vintage Trout -
Bold Predictions for the 2024 Los Angeles Angels
TroutField replied to Second Base's topic in LA Angels | MLB Daily
Starting rotation and bullpen are both top 5 in baseball propelling the angels into a wild card spot. National media can finally shut up about the angels playoff drought. Angels surprise in 1st round and sweep behind some Trout late inning heroics. -
POLL: How many games do the Angels win in 2024?
TroutField replied to Angelsjunky's topic in LA Angels | MLB Daily
I said 75-79 I could see them being a 100 loss team with some under performance and injuries. definitely the lowest I’ve been on an Angels team in spring training in probably my entire life as a fan…. -
pretty unfortunate we as fans have to suffer through what… 14-15 years now of a subpar product, because Arte Moreno and the constant carousel at GM make poor player personnel decisions. There was 1 way to be decently competitive this year and it was to spend some money. And then he decides this is the year he grabs his check book and goes home? even if rebuilding the farm and not losing a draft pick was the goal, there were ways to go about showing the fans and Mike Trout we are still commited to a playoff pursuit. (JD Martinez, Davis, etc) I really don’t understand why he insists on making everyone suffer, just sell the team.

It would be nice if Fontenelle could turn into a major league regular at 3rd

Offense is rolling Wantz…. Not so much

It’s funny that Trout and Rendon were the contracts that broke Arte. Gary Mathews, Cj Wilson, Albert Pujols, Josh Hamilton, just off the top of my head should have been the contracts that put more of a focus on the farm system and less short sighted expensive moves. The greatest Angel of all time and a panic signing of Rendon(also orchestrated by Arte) are what made him go full rebuild mode. They should have done this in 2017 or 2018 when it was sorely needed…

This was the only point I was making. I had no clue it was going to blossom into this huge conversation. Arte started to meddle with the player personnel decisions rather than letting the smart baseball people run it. (Stoneman and Scioscia) Arte would have been a terrific owner if he hired the best President, GM, and Manager talent and funded whatever they wanted. Thats essentially what Dodgers’ ownership group does with Andrew Friedman and the Dodgers’ front office.
