Playing in a band box doesn’t matter if he can’t make contact. I do think he will improve but i suspect he’ll be a fringe, bench/depth type player 

Nah Marsh will be their starting CF as they designated Odubal Herrera.

Disappointed in losing Brandon Marsh who has massive potential and was likeable.

His defense was plus and his offense will greatly improve in the band box known as Citizens Bank Park.

One question I have that I don't see an answer to is what did the Angels like about Moniak and Sanchez that made them targets in the Syndergaard trade?

Sanchez may just be a prospect flier, but what about Moniak? Did the Angels just take him to take a gamble on him or do they see tangible qualities/metrics in him that made him a desirable acquisition.

Did Perry speak about any of this, @Jeff Fletcher?

 

Mickey Moniak had great ST stats, won the starting CF position but was derailed by an injury.

Trading Ohtani would be repeating the Red Sox Mistake in trading Babe Ruth which would unleash a 100 year Curse.  Treat him like the Babe and embrace the Good Fortune bestowed upon Angels Nation.

Thanks! I may need to try this if I lose it on my TV

That smoke trail on the ball is distracting. I get it to show how a pitch moved but not on every live pitch.

I agree

I had a free subscription that expired and I can watch the games if I want to.... I think your log in is still good and you can watch the free games.

Thanks you are correct.  I still have Apple TV MLB

Not a fan of games on Apple TV+

Daygloman was 100% right!  Not worth the aggravation.  I had to setup an account with a credit card with a 7 day free trial to watch the last time.  Too much aggravation to cancel jumping through hoops to avoid the $ 4.99 monthly charges.  Now my free trial has been used up so I can't watch AppleTV and there is nothing watchable there except old films and pay per current ones which they don't even have yet like Top Gun Maverick which I recommend.

Good idea hitting wise, but he’s a FA after the season, defensively is meh, and rarely has played corner OF spots.

Need a RHH corner OF who can hit enough and defend decently enough, who’s controlled beyond this season.

Career .820 OPS in 2019 37 HRs 116 RBIs Power Bat who has adjusted to become a contact hitter BA .294 OBP .378 29 yo switch hitter.  He can be a bridge to Adell and can be an offensive force through postseason run and evaluate whether to bring him back for future contract.  A bit of lightning in a Bottle at reasonable cost on expiring deal.

Another name to ponder then for you is Trey Mancini.

Trade for Josh Bell Switch hitting 1B / OF and lose Juan Lagares

Happy Father's Day Chuck and Angelswin,

Great Father's Day for me and Angels winning is the Cherry on Top.

The Ship appears to be righted.

Rearranging deck chairs on the Titanic 

Angel Oracle,

My benchmark was the 2002 Team which had a shutdown bullpen especially after promoting Krod.  The Angels need to find another Scot Shields who held it together for nearly a decade.

The Angels did not place themselves in a position to win last night's game.

Sending Adell down Friday and starting Lagares I don't understand. Giving Ohtani rest last night and starting Tyler Wade out in CF bit them.  Self inflicted loss.

Has Lagares' defense fallen off that much? I remember back in his Mets "'heyday" he was an elite defender

Long ago Lagares was a great defender but many injuries and age have diminished his defense.  He had offensive tools but chases pitches and lacks plate discipline.  He also had some speed but couldn't utilize for SBs.  Adell is who I rather see there.

Mike Trout has great #s vs Taijuan Walker 10 hits in 16 ABs 3 HRs 5 SOs .625 BA 1.313 SLG 1.960 OPS

Sure Honolulu. My Brother lived there for a bit.  Los Angeles another 5 or 6 hours.

Because CF is the easiest outfield position to gauge or judge the flight of the ball. 

This is True you don't have the angles, slices and hooks.

Bravo!  This Game looks to be a turning point.
