WeaverFever

Seriously wondering how the Marlins are doing in that trade? Did they get anything in return? I feel compassion for that fan base.

I don’t think you are accurate at all. He is the one filing for divorce.

Picture this.... 9-0 game and the home team is leading with two outs in the top of the ninth. Jared Weaver is looking for his for his first perfect game. The trouble is he can’t find the strike zone. The count is 3-1 and the pitch is way outside. Does the batter swing?

Loading up on infielders. Why so?

Really not a nice stadium?

What a draft for the Angels, my goodness.

The “guy who Josh Hamilton killed” was father of a kid whose favourite player was Josh Hamilton. He was trying to make that kids day.... No, he wasn’t a good ball player for us, yes, he also had his demons.... but so do the rest of us.

Not just lately.

With all do respect what do you guys mean with the words “too expensive?” 2019 was supposed to be our year we started to contend. Now it doesn’t look like 2020 will be the year we contend. What’s the difference between Harvey, Cahill, Allan, and Cozart compared to Gerrit Cole? All those names mentioned are guys that are “too expensive” If we want to win we are at a point where we have to overspend. I understand it is a business and there is money involved, we have the best player in baseball in his prime, and everyone seems to be complacent with an improved farm. Who cares. I want to win. *** I’m not saying we overspend on mediocre talent, but the team needs an “ace.” You either do that buy overpaying in cash, or in prospects. Pick your poison. This mediocre crap is getting old.

They do yes. Just not as many as the 2019 Los Angeles Angels.

Thanks for the reply. With him giving up the two home runs himself, how is he not considered to be on the hook for the batter?

Can anyone explain to me how this outing doesn’t result in a registered earned Run?

This is the direction where I thought the Angels would go this season. The Twins are a fun team to watch.

You are absolutely right. I ask when is the time in your opinion where we NEED to start winning?

I like Eppler. I liked most of his moves. I scratched my head on some others. He has rebuilt the farm yes, but let’s remember the farm isn’t a sure thing.

“When Derek Jeter knocked his 3,000th career hit out of the park in 2011, the ball landed in the hands of a 23-year-old cellphone salesman Christian Lopez. Lopez gave the ball, estimated to be worth between $250,000 and $300,000, back to the Yankees shortstop.” Not insane enough. You should watch Zach Hample’s videos on YouTube sometime. He has made a living off of catching baseballs.

It’s silly that he didn’t get it authenticated, no matter what he wants to with it. With contracts what they are these days I see no reason why the Angels couldn’t or wouldn’t give the fan at least 100 thousand. Heck that might only get you one inning out of Harvey or Cahill. .

Lots of injuries, some players playing less then they are capable of. I know it’s early. But what is up with this team? Wasn’t this the year we we were supposed to get better? Is it still realistic to expect us to contend for 2220? 2014 is not a year I would call recent....

Mickey Mantle made $85,000 in 1961. That is equivalent to $716,604 in today’s dollars. 4 years later he was on the cover of Life Magazine. So no, I don’t believe a guy with a 6.95 ERA should be earning $9,000,000 in a year.

I didn’t mind the Cahill signing when it happened. I thought he would help with a rotation of Skaggs, Heaney, and Harvey. But how disheartening is it for the Average Joe to see this guy get 9 million dollars a year? Over 99% of the worlds population won’t see that in their entire life.

He doesn’t need too. Obviously he is going to have a higher ERA of .096 throughout the rest of the year. Yet, he is a quality guy. With him in there, it would have added to an even deeper pen.

Not for 426 million....

What do you consider the last 5 years? I don’t want to piss on your parade but this is a year I expected us to take a step forward. No, not a World Series ring. But win more then you lose? Maybe get in a wild card game? Absolutely.

I love hearing this. In trying to be positive. But even if we are it would be nice to at-least be competitive.

Does it matter? The front office is calling the shots.
