It's been more than two decades since I've seen A Clockwork Orange but I'm 90% sure the droogs wore those. 

Personally, I hate a 3 man booth

so I have almost all of October off right?

As Jack Morris would say with an Armenian accent: "be very very careful"

Because despite that, in 2022 we're paying 3 players a combined $101,688,095. With a lot more holes to fill.

I think people get waaaaay too upset about the Angels failures from November to February. You really don’t become a good team by what you do in the winter. You become a good team by the way you develop your own players (minors and majors) during the season. 
 
The guys you acquire are a small piece of the puzzle and they’re probably going to balance each other out by some being good and some being bad. 
 
So you need to lift the floor that those guys sit on by having a lot of young guys from your system providing value. So you’ve always got an 85-win base and if your acquisitions work better one year it goes to 95.
There’s no way you can count on acquisitions lifting you enough if you have a 75-win base. 

“There’s a faulty process within their organization”
It's early in the segment but my favorite line from the whole thing.

The Cardinals deserved to lose on that pitch. All Albert can hit anymore is a fastball and they grooved him one 3-0. 

I do not trust the organization to evaluate the prospects - or even the "front-line starter" - that it would get in return. 
I can see the Angels ending up with a few crappy prospects and a front line starter who isn't as good as Ohtani.

Seeing him do that wouldn't bother me too much. 
Hearing the B-rate TBS announcers drone on about it would be awful. 
And of course I would avoid reading all media for a couple of days and the inevitable "The Angels paid Pujols to win the Wild Card Game for the Dodgers" comments (which lazily ignore that releasing Albert freed up at-bats for Walsh and Ohtani, who were both far better than he was). 
Fuck, now that I wrote that all out, I think there's a 60% chance it happens. 

What a "STANTONIAN" comedy

It's a shame we'll never get to see it.

Spending large amounts of money on the wrong personell seems to be what the Angels have been doing for quite a while now.

I tend to agree with the people who think last year's title is real; it's just so much fun to remind my Dodgers friends - all of whom are scared the Giants will win the 4th title of the last dozen years - that it wasn't a real season. 

Not according to Pedro.

if the future is like the past, this means Trout wont be ready for ST

They have been far more fun than the actual games the last two months.

The game day threads are invaluable, I can’t watch a game without them.
