The start of spring training always seems more real when someone starts posting spring training pictures. I am thrilled that it has finally started. Thank you for sharing.

Tyler Skaggs is gone. Unfortunately for Angels fans, this is an all-too-familiar place. We’ve been here before. It’s not a comfortable place. It’s a very sad and very confusing place and we will never, ever get used to it.
 
We Angels fans, like every other fan base often use terms like “us” and “we” when discussing our favorite team. That speaks to the level of connection we have with our team. We experience the emotional highs and lows that go along with winning and losing. Even though it may be a bit silly, we feel that the team’s victories are also our victories. So when I say “we lost Tyler Skaggs” – that “we” is real. It’s tangible. It’s meaningful. 
 
But… this loss is not about us.
 
This time is about Tyler’s family and those that were close to him. Our thoughts and our prayers go out to them as they try to manage their grief, their sorrow and their pain.
 
I don’t know how the Angels move forward from this. I really don’t. Baseball is hard enough as it is. 
 
Perhaps we fans can play a role in helping the team move forward by simply showing up. It’s time to show how much we care and that when we say “we” and “us” we really mean it.
 
It is my hope that on July 12 when the Angels return home for their first home game since Tyler’s passing, Angels fans show up in huge numbers. We need to show up even if it's hard. We need to show up even if we don't want to because again - it's not about us and showing up matters.
We also show up by telling stories. It’s important to tell the stories that speak to a time when we might have had an interaction with Tyler that meant something special to us. We share the good things we’ve read or heard about Tyler too. We recount those stories to others and in doing so we all remember.
 
We remember that Tyler Skaggs was one of us. We remember that Tyler Skaggs competed at the highest level and he sought out victories so that we could experience joy. 
 
We are thankful for having had the opportunity to be connected to him in some small way. He may not have known our names, but he definitely felt our presence every time he stepped on a baseball field. Tyler showed up for us and now it's time for us to do the same.
 
We will all miss Tyler Skaggs, but more importantly – we will never forget him.
 

Deserves got nothing to do with it. Any real Angel homer will vote for every Angel regardless. I definitely do.

I’m driving down from Virginia and will be at the game on Friday before heading to the keys on Saturday.

And really, if you think about it that trade eventually led to us getting Ty Buttery as well.

Hello all,
I created this account earlier this year, but haven’t posted yet so thought I start with posting here. I’m on here quite often and have found this site to be one of the best places to keep in the “know” of most everything Angels related. Also, I’ve been reading this site for years before creating my profile so I can safely say that I am familiar with the variety of personalities here, which of course is one of the things that makes it entertaining at times.
I grew up in West Covina back in the 80s and 90s as an Angels fan and now live in Virginia. My earliest memory as an Angel fan is 86 and my first game that I attended was in 88. I catch as many games as I can on mlb.tv that my schedule will allow and I still manage to attend at least a series or two every year at Angels Stadium along with a few games when they are out here in my neck of the woods. 
Looking forward to continue reading your comments, insights and maybe chiming in on occasion.

That flag represents freedom. 

With our history of signing free agents, By July of next year he would probably be called Mistakas around here.
