  1. Counting numbers. The answer is in your own question. Even given Trout missing many games over that 5 year span, he earned 5th, 4th, 2nd, and 1st in MVP voting. Kingman was absent in three of the years and finished 18th and 19th in two of the seasons. It is a stupid comparison, period.
  2. The question is, does anyone have a worse comp for Mike Trout than Dave Kingman? Jesus, if this doesn’t stand out as an absolutely absurd comp then you probably have no idea who Dave Kingman is.
  3. To be clear, I didn’t mean having the same number of cats now. Just over age 25-29.
  4. At this point, Jo Adell’s best comp over two seasons is the 1978/1979 version of Freddie Patek. 3 total homers for Adell so far and 3 total homers for Patek in those two seasons.
  5. Stopped reading at “best comp is Dave Kingman” Sorry, but there was no reason to keep reading past that.
  6. I somewhat roll my eyes with the “shut him down” to “not risk it” stance I hear about Trout. As if the Angels were ever considering putting him on the field in a condition that risks his health.
  7. Just because Cobb is here now, for me, doesn’t make him necessarily the “right” veteran leader for the young staff next year. I’m fine with using one of the rotation spot for a veteran leader. But it really could be so many different players and I would prefer to aim higher than Cobb.
  8. If he identifies as left handed, will announcers “respect that” and refer to him as left handed when he pitches?
  9. So basically this confirms that there really were a couple of guys that were honest to his face about what his play time should be. Cool.
  10. I really can’t begin to give a crap about who plays shortstop next year unless I know that the team fixes the pitching staff. If the pitching isn’t fixed, the the SS literally doesn’t matter.
  11. Thaiss is not among the players I believe will have an impact on the Angels future.
  12. That was when Citizen had that controversial name, the Gargantuan Moose Knuckles.
  13. Molly is really gifted at finding irony and clever angles. Imagine of she had not posted this. The moment would have been entirely unnoticed.
  14. Just annoys me that the one-trick pony gets a homer against at the Angels and it probably makes him think he is still a good major leaguer.
  15. Wouldn’t mind a good old-fashioned bench clearing brawl where Detmers gives Pujols a bloody nose and Bellinger breaks his clavicle in a pileup.
  16. I hope he stays in the game and he gets hit with a 98 mph fastball. . . In the fucking tongue.
  17. Food for me: Homemade grilled lemon pepper chicken wings Pastrami Reuben on rye with Swiss and chik-fil-a sauce instead of 1000 island. Peanuts 805 beer
