  1. This is where you lose the argument. If Albert Pujols was a homegrown star I could somewhat understand it. But his great seasons were all in St. Louis. So why should it matter to the Angels that he was great? This is a team that has made the playoffs 1 time in the last 7 years and currently would miss the playoffs again if the season ended today. It's time to focus on wins/losses and not the accomplishments of a guy with a different team
  2. The funny part about this is he would be a huge upgrade at DH for this team But not with Sosh as manager
  3. The command of all his pitches is very impressive for a 21 year old. He doesn't have the highest upside but I don't think he'll be worse than a good #4 starter. If everything breaks right he could be a low end 2 starter
  4. I wouldn't say he rakes. He's about a league average MLB 1B. Which is fine. If this team had league average players at every position except CF and SS they'd be coasting to a playoff spot right now. If Cron can raise his OPS to the .820-.850 range while playing the defense he's played this year, then he'd become very valuable to this team
  5. None of it matters if you can't get Nolasco out of the rotation. He is a constant liability every 5 days and it's really costing the team. This team needs one of Richards or Meyer to be healthy for most of September in order to make it
  6. Pujols has a -2 WAR this year but it feels like he's been worse than that
  7. Heaney has been real good. This is more of the guy we saw in 2015
  8. Not necessarily get better when he comes here, but definitely not get way worse Don't disagree with your thought process here though
  9. Poorly managed inning by MS to say the least
  10. Scioscia playing for 1 run in the 2nd inning against a pitcher struggling. Can't agree with this strategy
  11. Look at Matt Joyce as an Angel vs the rest of his career (before and after). That's a little fishy for sure. But some of the other guys is just basic decline or bad signings.
  12. I think he looks fine. Stuff looks pretty good
  13. Pretty good inning. Some good at bats with the exception of old man shitjols
  14. Pujols is having the worst year in franchise history. Please prove otherwise. No one else has gotten this kind of opportunity and failed this miserably
  15. Heaney sitting 92-94 in the 1st which is up from where he was his first 2 starts. Good sign
  16. More of the blame is on Scioscia for playing him and batting him 3rd every night, agreed
  17. Pujols is the problem with this team! He's been crap all year
  18. I don't know about you guys but this doesn't scream selfless and team first to me
