One of managements jobs is to recruit, develop and retain leaders. BP need a leader. SP need a leader. Hitters need a leader. A dominant confident players that lead by example that is willing and able to share their knowledge.
Angels have no leaders. Cultures need leaders.

There is no band or wagon left to jump on.

Maybe embarrassing isn't the right word but the Angels are tough to defend. There is not a lot of hope. Adel had a nice running catch in RF. Canning had a good outing. Ward could be an All Star. Ohoppe is looking like he might be the real deal. I like Moore in the BP. Trying to keep my chin up but I just wish there was good news on the horizon.

Empty stadium is not a miracle cure BUT I think it would send a message that might help push Arte into selling. Angels baseball is a bad business that produces a bad product. Going to Angel games is like going back to a restaurant that gave you food poisoning.
It's embarrassing to be an Angel fan today. That's the sad truth.

It is all about pitching. If we traded all our pitchers for all the Mariners pitchers we have a great team.We'll, OK, a good team. It is impossible to have a playoff team without better pitching. How do the Atlanta Braves produce good pitching year after year and the Angels seem to never have a good staff? Until the Angels figure out how to scout, develope and trade better pitchers it will more of the same mediocrity at best.

Somebody teach Jo how to slide before he hurt himself.

Moniak 3 run blast had EV of 110 mph!!!
I am a little surprised he can create that kind of power. I may have slightly misjudged his potential.
I know there are different body types and TV make you look heavier but Willue Calhoun need a strict dietary and exercise program implemented.

Why does Wash talk to Adel before his AB? First pitch take? Let the guy hit. Last thing Adel needs is somebody in his head just before he bats.
I am starting to dislike Wash.
-
Angels get 3 hits in the inning but no runs.
That says it all.
-
Did Wash tell Ward to steal? Not very smart..
-
Maybe the Angels should study other teams/players that statistically have less injuries, better recruiting, superior development and an overall expected record of success.

Straight to the knife. Surprised these guys don't try more regenerative medicine. Stem cells, etc.

Pitching fixes many things and we aint got it. Haven't had a good pitching staff for many years, Arte. For starters, Arte, get off your high horse and get Bauer, you idiot.
Exactly right!
Angels offense B
Defense C+
Pitching D+
We need a number 1 starter. We have 3 number 4s and 3 number 5s. Can't make playoffs with our pitching staff. We could clean up the defense and hit a little better (Trout finds it) but it won't matter without acquiring SP.

Cole Tucker needs to lose the hair to be taken seriously. Seriously.
-
Ward is the best hitter on the Angels and Moore is the best pitcher.
Adel almost made that routine flyball look routine. Who knows?
-
If Jo Adel is playing MLB five years from now it will be as a DH. I assume he has played baseball since his youth. So if he hasn't figured out how to catch a flyball or to slide by now he is not going to figure it out, period. He could try 1st base but he would probably suck there too. I don't know who got him to let the ball travel, see the ball longer and use the whole field but he looks like a completely different hitter this year. He may turn out to be a great DH.

Everything is wrong with the Angels.
Scouting SUCKS.
Development SUCKS.
Player acquisition SUCKS.
Players Attitudes SUCK.
PITCHING SUCKS.
They really need to sell the team and start from scratch with all new employees. Just clean house and start fresh. Grab some front office and scouts from successful organizations. How do other teams draft, recruit, and develope quality pitchers year after year? Some decades after decades. Angels are 5 year minimum away from the play offs and that's if everything went perfect.
Hicks is a perfect example of poor judgement. Who really thought he had any value. Fire that guy first because he has zero talent when it comes to evaluating players value. Mistake will happen but we aquire other teams mistakes.

Canning problems are due to his delivery. His arm/hand kind of stalls out and batters can see the ball too well. There is zero deception in his delivery. It is like he says, "see the ball, here it comes".
-
Moniak is not a DH. Not even close. I have been very critical of Adel but he is a much better choice. And Durry has earned some bench time, too. Come on Wash, be better.
-
Adel's sac fly to right field yesterday was awesome. You could tell by Wash's congrats that its something he has been working on. Letting the ball get deeper and going with the pitch and using the whole field. Good for him. Still an adventure on every flyball hit his way but at least he is looking better in the box.

If Detmers could repeat his pitches at will he could win 20 wins.

They both suck. Owner and GM probably just about equally suck. Both should be equally embarrassed with the product they put out there. I don't know how much Perry makes but I am sure it is more than 95% of the average American will ever see. He will never have to worry about food and shelter. Grow a pair.
