  1. Too long; didn't read? Let me paste the most important 8 words: "Player development is the lifeblood of any franchise"
  2. Stepping on the toes of Rendon would result in... ah, never mind. Too easy.
  3. I would. He announced before the season "I'm going to do whatever I can to keep Shohei here" then proceeded to have his worst season and got injured, as he often has in the last 5 years. Asking for a trade would be pathetic.
  4. Thank you for posting this. My condolences for your loss. It freaking sucks what your family is going through right now but I promise you one thing: As time goes by, the dominant emotion will shift from sadness to My God we were lucky to have that man in our life. I would argue that Lou was not "an AngelsWin.com legend," but rather THE AngelsWin.com legend.
  5. Remember in 2020 when they played without fans in the stands? Sure, it was still baseball, but it just wasn't the same. That's what AW is like without @Lou. I will still read it and still enjoy many of your comments, but I will always feel like something major is missing.
  6. Howie Kendrick. 9 seasons. 28.5 bWAR. 28.9 million dollars total salary. And some people complained because he never hit .350 in Anaheim like he did in the minors.
  7. We will get better offense THIS season. Not sure if it will be in time though.
  8. Then San Diego makes more sense.
  9. This made me way happier than it should. "The one ray of hope we have is that our favorite team is REALLY dumb!" Maybe it's because I just read the latest comments in the thread about @Lou and I realize that none of this really matters. Or maybe it's just hard for me to care about the team like I used to. But your comment brought a smile to my face when it probably should not have.
  10. @Lou, over the last 14 years you have made me laugh more than everyone else. Combined. We will see another 10 Mike Trouts before we see another Ohtani and we will see a million new AW members before we see another @Lou. - Justin
  11. His emergence made it possible for the Angels to release Pujols a few months early and I never again had to watch a GIDP where Albert hadn't even gotten halfway to first by the time the play was over. If for no other reason, I will always like Walsh.
  12. I had forgotten about this exchange. It's still a classic. I had not forgotten about you, Lou.
  13. This might be the only thing you've ever written with which I vehemently disagree. "Even if it crushes the org"??? I want the organization to start winning again. We're gonna see 5 MVPs in 10 seasons and not a single postseason win to show for it. Those MVP awards mean nothing to me. There is no player who is more entertaining than winning.
  14. If the Angels decide to trade Ohtani, he should have no say in where he goes.
  15. Honestly? Have a nice rest of the summer. Life is too short to spend time on a hobby that no longer brings you joy. And there is nothing enjoyable about this organization at the moment.
  16. "He's left early in his last three starts because his finger isn't right. Give us all your prospects!"
  17. I moved out of SoCal in 2018 and had forgotten about him. Until now.
