Fish Oil

The term decimation comes from the ancient Roman practice of killing every tenth man as a punishment for things like cowardice, mutiny, desertion, allowing inherited runners to score etc Maybe this is just what the pen needs. 

He's hitting .346 with a 1.029 OPS for May. That's a bitch?

I think things got interesting... Ohtani is emerging as a tremendous force.  Still have Rendon.  Walsh is coming into own, big time.
I'll keep tuning in to see how this journey unfolds. 
 

I think you gotta do whatever it takes at this point to play .500 baseball. We're only 6 games behind the A's.
If the team just seriously tanks in the next few weeks then I agree, call up Marsh for CF. 
Gotta agree with our twitter guy (whichever one it was who tweeted this). 
 

Chili Davis should be getting some more love here.  He signed as a free agent twice and put up some nice numbers both times.

The other pansies can still hold hands and sing Kumbaya if they want...  Strickland may sucker punch one of them though.

He's been excellent this year and his FIP supports it. 
Relievers are fickle as hell. I don't give a shit if he sucked last year or the year before. I care about now. 
What concerns me is this is the Rays we're trading with. They probably know something.
Rengifo would be a gross overpay.

Beyond Trout and Ohtani, Walsh has to be one of the reasons to like the Angels. Two-way player in college and in the minors, a little in the majors too. 36th round pick, figured something out with his swing upon working with Maddon. Not someone that anyone expected to be stud, but now we're starting to think he could legitimately be a .900 OPS 30 HR, good defensive 1B. 
I always pictured Thaiss developing into a solid starting 1B, but Walsh has not only passed him, but has probably entrenched himself as the Angels starting 1B for the next half decade at least. Thaiss still has a future in the majors, just not with the Angels. Even when Rendon went down, they wouldn't promote Thaiss to play 3B, so his chances with the Angels may have come and gone already.
Walsh couldn't have come at a better time though. This offense is a TON better when we have two power hitting lefties batting before and after Trout/Rendon. Walsh really changes the dynamics of the offense. 

Albert will be Arte's new yacht captain.

They said its still in play.
Who knows what it will be, though. Not sure it was ever really defined to begin with.

“Hate for Pujols?”
Sorry bro but you are smoking crack.  I have never hated Pujols.  Ever.
Being done with him playing everyday isnt hate.
But thank you sincerely for literally proving my point exactly on 2021 and how everything other than being at the forefront of a celebration and endorsing something 24/7 is now categorized as hate.
You sound stupid. (One more edit to help you here: saying you sound stupid doesn’t mean I hate you, ok?  It just mean that, well, you sound stupid.)
Try reading words for their actual meanings.  It’s fun.

I like Perry.  He needs to do better on picking starting pitchers, but he has some big hairy balls to DFA Albert.  Albert is completely delusional and any knowledgeable fan recognizes the reality of his contract with the Angels.  The only surprise is with the Angels making the move that everyone knows needed to happen.  I want to wish Albert well, but really don't care what he does.  He will never be an Angel for me.
 

Manager should have say in shift.  Sorry but analytics should give insight of where they should play.  It shouldn't dictate where they should play.

The manager doesn’t shift. 
 
The other day he basically said flat out the analytics guys figure out the defensive positioning in MLB these days. 

Give credit and blame where it's due.
Jared Walsh likely wouldn't be the force he is without Maddon. Shohei Ohtani wouldn't be unleashed like he had unless a manager made the exact decisions Maddon has. Maddon lobbied for Chris Rodriguez to make the Opening Day roster and he's probably their best reliever. There is no amount of maneuvering that can overcome a Jose Quintana start. He isn't specifically losing games based on his personnel decisions.
His bullpen choices leave a lot to be desired. Until Watson got hurt, he should've trusted him way more. He has the track record and recent performance you're looking for. Pitching Mayers every single day until he went on the IL is a recipe for disaster. I love the aggressive base running, but don't let them make stupid decisions in the name of pressure. Ohtani trying to stream 3B last night with Trout at the plate was completely unnecessary.
At the end of the day, the biggest job a manager has, likely occurs in the clubhouse. And as far as the clubhouse goes, there's none better than Joe Maddon. 
He's a good manager. He's NOT a miracle worker.

Tonight's game was a ton of fun. My daughter had a blast. She was screaming her head off (RIP to my left ear). 

Here are some machines that are maybe a little nostalgic, but completely obsolete.
If you think of another one, free free to post it.

That's not a very nice thing to say about our Lord and Savior.

I always wanted to see Derek Jeter try to catch a 100mph fastball with his nose.

I watched my grandfather pull his own tooth.

Cause winning is fun. 3 wins with no starter getting a W, Late inning run scoring.  They got stars in Trout, Rendon, Ohtani. And, they got up and comers in Fletcher, Walsh, CRod. Maybe, 2021 will be the start of another golden age of Halo fandom with the first being the Vlad years. 

I find it odd that people who claim to love baseball want to watch less of it. 

I'm mostly just a reader here, but I've been a reader for years.
This is truly sad news. RIP.
