    DCAngelsFan got a reaction from fan_since79 in Remembering an AngelsWin.com Legend - Lou (IEBRUIN)   
    I didn't know Lou in any meaningful "real-life" way - but in his posts you could see he was witty without being cruel or curdled, and had a good sense of proportion - he seemed to enjoy the team and baseball when things were good, and didn't get angry when they weren't.  He enjoyed life, and he enjoyed coming here and sharing.  
    What I'd call a "good dude", and we're always diminished when we lose one of those.
    I'm struck by the testimonials and the effect he had on so many people here - the butterfly effect, where what he did and who he was ripples out far from him, to many people, and into the future.  A reminder that what we say, what we do, large and small, good or bad, it all lives on after us.  
    I hope I'm remembered the way Lou is.
    Rest In Peace, brother.

    It’s a fun team to watch, I’m looking forward to Trout coming back.  Plenty of guys to root for, blasts from the past, and with a little luck we’ll be playing meaningful games in September.

    DCAngelsFan reacted to Second Base in Angels are an easy team to root for...   
    Regardless of outcome, I have to admit, it's great having Cron and Grichuk back with the team. They're capable hitters and there's a sense of nostalgia.
    Ohtani doing incredible things is something we shouldn't take for granted. 
    Moniak making good on the potential as a 1-1 has been a big boost. 
    Many of us felt Moustakas should've been an Angel 5+ years ago. It's good to see it finally happen. Another local product. 
    Trout is still one of the greatest hitters in the game, and getting him back healthy is something with watching. 
    Bringing Giolito back home is a boost to the rotation and a fun narrative. 
    Zach Neto is low key an extremely fun, energetic prospect/player that many fans back East don't know about, yet. 
    Jose Soriano's journey to the big leagues was a winding road, but he's turned into a great bullpen weapon.

    It was as bad as we all thought. Pretty inexcusable at this point from MLB, get the robo umps in here ASAP. 

    ive never seen an overall run favor over 2 in umpire scoreboards posts before. They added to the RISP trouble we endured and I’ll go out on a limb and say they stole game 1 from the Angels.

    DCAngelsFan reacted to ten ocho recon scout in Something to consider with today's trade   
    Personally I'm hoping Arte and Nevin show up in the clubhouse tomorrow, with Nevin being up front with the group and telling them one of them is out.
     
    And Arte quietly sits in the background not saying a word.
     
    But quietly skins a squirrel alive, and eats it. Raw.
     
    And then the group looks back at Nevin, scared shitless, and Nevin wipes his forehead of sweat, and says "like I said... one of you is out"

    Pretty great day so far  - Shohei gets an economical complete game 1-hitter, Ward is looking good (we need some hot hitters to carry us thru the inevitable days a starter blows up), we pick up a solid SP, and perhaps best of all, we can look at a baseball website again without everyone in the planet speculating about / openly cheering for an Ohtani trade, usually with some snark directed at the Angels.  
    Whatever happens from here on out, maybe we can just enjoy baseball, and leave the offseason for the offseason.

    This.
    Like you said, the "right" thing to do (other than have a pipeline of players in the minors that we drafted and developed from the US and internationally, and not to make non-productive signings) might've been to trade Ohtani last season for a "big haul"
    And maybe that would've worked out for us, eventually.  
    Trading him this year to someone who might be willing to overpay might have *still* been the right thing to do.  
    But it would mean he does all the things he does on the daily, maybe reach 62 and get another MVP -  in another uniform. 
    The angst over seeing Ohtani perform his feats in another uniform, and almost certainly not coming back, would've killed our fans' collective souls.  
    If you wanted to send a message to him that you're in it to win it?  You make that trade.  If you want him to re-sign here - which may *also* be a mistake, you make that trade.
    It's very high-risk - if we don't make the playoffs and he signs elsewhere, it'll be kind of a disaster.  (this team really, really, really needs to figure out how to find and develop talent better)
    But making that trade might've been the only way to keep him an Angel for life - and might be the last chance for the Angels to make a run at the playoffs for a long while.
    It'll probably not work out - but then again, maybe it will.
    What was that thing from 2002?  Oh yeah, OGAAT.
