It's that time 

It's that time 

It's that time 

pitchers need to stop throwing meat balls and the hitter need to have better approaches against 0-2 counts. 

Murphy is another guys that seem to be having trouble with the new balls. Honesty with how quick perry has been with promoting these guys I would love to see Both Murphy and Yovan up sooner than later. 
I would also love to see bachman get a start or 2 on the main roster. I know he struggles after the 3rd, but would love to see how the regular balls work form him as a starter.

Spliter basically has disappeared and has been replaced with an overused sweeper.

Honestly I feel like he falls in love with the FB and slider combo to much.Last time I checked, he had 40% usage rate on the FB and 40% rate on the slider. so 80% of his stuff is the hard stuff and hitter whill adjust. let's also remember that he's was drafted due to the curve and he needs to start using it more. For me detmers has 3 pitches that are above average or better and a change that is average and he needs to start using all four pitches! 

Trout, Othani, and Renfore need to start producing! We need these guys to get back on track! Without them we are done! 

I'm kinda of surprised that Yovan hasn't been called up to the show yet. He's been elite. Could be another power arm in there.
Do y'all think Stefanic will get another shot? I'd wouldn't mind giving him another shot or is he a trade piece?
Flec also has been on fire! hopefully he's found his swing and it's just not Salt lake.

his fastball was filthy! that movement and he was hitting the corners. If he can maintain that velo and control he's going to dominate!

Wards needs a trip down to AAA and rediscover his swing/mechanics.
I'd love them to move Gio up to the 2 spot. He going to make contract and you can put hit n runs and so much more. 
Trout and Othani 3rd and 4th. Until Rendon returns I'd have Renfrore and Walsh 5th and 6th. Drury at 7th hole is the perfect spot, Neto and Thaisis to round it up.
 

I've never started a new topic here as I am a "luker" multiple times daily, but tend to not weigh-in much.  With that out of the way, I want to simply point out that Perry just "seems different" than what we've had in the role of a GM in past.
I admittedly was appreciative of the job Eppler did and have always felt he inherited an extremely difficult hand.  The state of the farm, the noose/limitations he was under, lack of depth, etc.
With that being said, I'd like to express how pleased I have been with Perry's job to-date.  Given the circumstance and current situation (i.e. win now), the foresight and judgement he has displayed is so clearly evident in most every area of the roster.  It's almost as if his plan from the day he began is now being played out in front of our eyes....and he has rarely missed on many of the players he identified early on.
No one truly knew what he had when with Bachman, Joyce, Neto, Moniak or others.  In many cases, we still don't.  But to have the foresight to "lower our floor" with inexpensive backfilling the way he has AND to have the cajones to promote and trust his instincts has been remarkable.  I remember when he signed Anderson to such a low-market deal wondering what the "catch" was.  Now, we are seeing a quality 3-4 starter evolve we will have for another year at a reasonable cost.  I was a big Marsh fan, but would make the trade for O'Hoppe over and over again.  Neto blows my mind for a rook and I have no idea how he possibly projected that and laid off the FA's when his job was on the line.  The Renfroe signing was SO solid.  
The BP was always a huge question mark and that wasn't lost on Perry.  I was critical of the offseason approach (i.e. low-cost spending, practically ignoring the white elephant), but his response has been to rely on his initial moves to address it (Silseth, Bachman, Davidson....and more to come).  
Undoubtedly, when our season comes to an end without a championship we will be able to "Monday Morning Quarterback" what he should have done differently.  But I have to say, I won't be in that crowd.  What he has done this year and the results through 30+% of our games have demonstrated to me this is a man with a plan.
Hell, he has me so excited to be an Angels fan again that I am actually at piece with Shohei leaving (Note: fan since Nolan signed my ball in '77).  In fact, I find myself at times wondering if it might be best for the organization to trust in him to identify the right combination of young talent in a deadline trade to truly put us over the top going into '24!!!  Nuts?  I know.  But man, this guy seems to know talent.  I am so jacked about having a young, core group of O'Hoppe, Neto, Moniak, Adelll, Sandy, Detmers, Bachman, Joyce, Paris, and whatever else he might acquire from a Ohtani trade that I am beginning to think the worse thing we can do is let him walk for nothing with this guy in charge.
I honestly think if the vets can perform like they can, this team is capable of making a very serious run.  I don't envy Perry's position in having to determine it's fate by early July (the trade deadline being so early is a point of contention with me, but that's a whole other topic).  But just imagine if Rendon returned and the power came with it, Walsh found his grove, and Mike returned to being "Mike."  With our starters coming around and the BP taking shape, we have a roster that can compete in ways we haven't seen in quite awhile.  I'm not suggesting we'd win it all, but it "could" make for a really fun ride.
My point is, props to Perry.  Well done, sir.  And thank you for offering this fan something to be excited about for the next handful of years.

All I know is that our BP is going to be filthy now! Silseth, and Bachman! heat and filth!
Just like Silseth I wouldn't close the door on Bachman starting either 

Honestly I think it was smart to get out of that contract! Estevez and Moore have been awesome! add silseth to that duo it's looking a solid Bp!

Heck yeah! we're 20 and 13 when rengifo plays!

idk, but I think Walsh defense is must needed at 1st. it's not like Drury is smoking ball either. 
 

Being 6'6 and having a mid 90s to upper 90s fastball get into hitters really quick. He has some special physical tools and some solid baseball skills. That height and power sinker he reminds be a lot of Doug Fister, except the control but more Velo. 
Him and Dana have both climbed the lists! I think Dana is easily top 7 and jack in the top 15 with how he'd doing. 
Besides that, Sucks that Bush is still injured.He was guy I though that would break out
Bachman, I don't really know how to put season into words. His advance numbers say that he's been solid, his ERA not so much. He's still dominating hitters, wonder if the new balls are effecting him.
