I agree. Plus unless we are talking about the last several games of the William's season when the anticipation was high, the DiMaggio streak would have been non stop excitment.

On offense, his 2021 OPS+ was the worst of his career by quite a bit. 
On defense, his fielding percentage was the second-lowest of his career in a full season. He was by no means bad, but he was not close to stellar. 
I, too, loved watching him on defense for a few years in Anaheim, but those days are gone. He was not the answer for Angels SS in 2022. 

This really freaking sucks, Scott, and I'm sorry you have to deal with it. It's just shitty. There is no other word for it. 
I lost my brother to leukemia three years ago next month; he was 39. The reason I mention this is to tell you two things, one you know and one you may not. First, you will never stop missing her. That doesn't go away.  But eventually your first thought of her will stop being Man, I miss my sister and will become instead Man, I was lucky to have her as my sister. 

It's not baseball. I would rather have ties. 

Over the weekend we lost my sister, she was 56 years old.  She helped raise me and was incredibly kind.  When people talk about cancer being indiscriminate they aren’t kidding.  She didn’t deserve any of this.  She was diagnosed with stage four lung cancer in November of 2020.  She was living in North Dakota at the time.  When we went out to see her she had pneumonia and at the same time received her diagnosis.  We moved her home to Ca to live with her daughter.  This past week she had a stroke and was taken to the hospital.  She was starting to recover and then late Saturday night, early Sunday morning while still in the hospital she went into cardiac arrest.  They revived her, only for her to go back into cardiac arrest.  She passed away as her daughter arrived at the hospital.  In my selfless opinion this was the better alternative to her wasting away from the cancer as we have seen happen in my family.  In my selfish opinion, I wish she was her, so I can thank her again for all of sacrifice and for her never ending love.  I miss her.

I mean several people have come close to Williams. Nobody has come that close to DiMaggio. 

DiMaggio, by far.
Williams had several 0-fer games - including five in a row at one point - during his .406 season.
DiMaggio, by definition, did not have a single 0-fer during his streak. I cannot imagine what it must have been like to watch, especially those games where he did not get a hit until the final at bat.
Hell, I was really excited by Fletcher's 26-game streak last season. Imagine if Trout or Ohtani had a streak reach the 30s or (gulp) 40s. My God.

Joe Dimaggio's 56 game hitting streak or Ted Williams' .406 season? Why?

Always a good idea to have an open competition between four guys when spring training is shortened. I'm sure this will all turn out fine. 

"If everything goes well"

Ichiro, yes.

Another year of "We like where we're at now".

I appreciate you.

Nothing?

If stealing is violence then i think it’s good to do violence to Rob. 
 
also, I cannot be party to a subscription service that delivers the tv show “this is us” I will not suffer that. 

I just hope the Angels sponsor is Del Taco

And Ohtani DH in interleague games. 

I forgot about Trout. 

No more runners starting on second base at the start of extra innings.
 
Thank God.
