I like Wash. Wish he had a better roster to work with. 

So wait... are we rebuilding or not?

Are we not still trying to throw strikes? I thought that was a big hot button issue this spring.

I give them an eleventy on a scale of A-F.

So many things to bitch about and Jared Walsh is what we decided on? lol

Not only is 1 game nothing close to a big enough sample size to use to say someone is showing signs of a turn around, but implying Walsh’s poor 2023 has anything to do with a “culture issue” is really dumb, we all know he was dealing with thoracic outlet syndrome 

Good for him but I was one million percent done with him here.

Game 2 update
Notes:   This team is not what we were told we were getting.   More infield errors (2) than stolen bases (which is 0). 

I’ll catch heat for this but Trout should stop playing and demand a trade. The Angels are the worst organization in baseball and he will be remembered as a player who could have been the greatest but stuck with a shit team who hardly ever made the playoffs. There, I said it. Fight me. 

Poor drafting, poor facilities and being slow to adapt to new technologies, no emphasis on pitching, and poor player development would be the quick answers.

Above .500 and the starting rotation looks good 1-5 and the bullpen is lights out. Also Trout looks like Vintage Trout

Everyone knows there’s good gay and there’s bad gay.  This was bad gay, sir.

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… 

It's not just that they don't win, it's downright painful to watch their games.
If they played well executed fundamental baseball, that would be one thing, but the poor mechanics just feel like salt in an open wound.

If this team wasnt dog shit we'd probably have at least twice as many

This was gay IMO

My exactions were low but holy f***.

Washington : We are going to throw strikes 
 
Sandoval: I literally can’t (on pace to walk 18 per 9)
