Fish Oil

 I hear there was a chalk outline for Canning's arm.

From a statistical perspective, this start is simply noise. 
Time will tell.

Smart move by both sides.

Puig is the less talented Latin version of Milton Bradley. 

Puig hasn't beat up a fan yet has he? Gotta give him credit for that.

It's more complicated, actually. There is no clear evidence which way meant what. It's not even clear that they even did "thumbs down" like that; it's more probable they would use thumbs up to kill, then wrap their fingers around their thumb for sparing a life. But anything is possible because no one  bothered to write it down.

Yepper. No one knows for certain. The consensus (whatever that may mean) seems to be a thumb to the throat was death and thumb down meant life. But, who knows.
One interesting fact that surprises lots of people is that gladiators usually fought to first blood and that a gladiator could actually be charged with murder if he killed his opponent.

Beer is always a good thing.

By whatever means necessary, the Angels establish themselves as one of the top teams. Preferably 90+ wins and win some playoff games.

The movie had this backward. Thumbs down meant "bury the sword in the sand."

Okay, in 2022 the Mariners win the division (F'kin Dipoto). The Angels are the top wildcard team and the other three are the Yankees, Astros, and Dodgers (moved to the American league as punishment for being pussies).

Who do you pick?

If the Pederson/Stripling trade goes through, he definitely gets an A. Eppler has remade both the pitching and the lineup in very positive directions.
We are now a better team than we have been in a lot of years. After the upcoming season it may become the "Big 4."

My guess is that there would be an offset. He would receive the difference (if any) between what the Angels were paying him and what he received from the other club.

Makes sense. Thanks.

 I think Ausmus still had two years on his Halos contract so he can wait around without missing a paycheck. 

This made me curious. Does anyone know if Ausmus will still receive pay from the Angels if he signs with another team?

It wouldn't surprise me to see Marsh have a better season than Adell. I think he will get a callup at some point and hit the ground running.

They list Teheran's two seamer as the fourth best in baseball. I thought Bundy's slider might be listed but it was not.
Anyone else on the Angels who might have made one of the lists? Who has a particularly nasty pitch?

I don't know what you people are complaining about. Makes perfect sense to me.

I'm amazed that MLB is this forward thinking.

The things you stated aren’t things that are different. Choose different things like racism. Gambling. Doing lines of blow and greenies before each game. 

Well, that's just it, haha. 

My point is that things aren't different. Baseball is essentially just how it has always been,

Bad umpiring isn’t happening? Have you ever run into ball players and about the drinking and drugs is definitely something that’s still highly prevalent. What’s worse a dead ball or a juiced ball? 

I must be really bad at getting my point across.

Maybe mics and earpieces for the pitcher and catcher?

Between juiced players, juiced baseballs, wife beating, sign stealing, drug usage, bad umpiring and some other things the game is losing its integrity. Shameful times. 

As opposed to what? The good old days of dead baseballs, sharpened spikes, sign stealing, heavy drinking, bad umpiring, and some other things?

The bottom five on the list are interesting. Future DH's?

My neighbor is named Henry, and I agree.

I haven't seen you bullying anyone. Perhaps you express your opinions strongly at times, but other posters seem to be a little sensitive. Not the best combination.

You’re right Arte should sign a wife beater. 

Arte should sign someone to beat his wife? That's almost as bad as John Taylor's willingness to commit murder for a fanfest.

You guys make me wonder sometimes.

If we could trade Adell strait up for Buehler I would personally drive him to Dodger Stadium.
