What’s the deal with that dog?

Just trying to bring some levity.  

At this point, it feels like I'm watching Reggie Dunlop out there trying to keep it together while Arte has the same drive to win as Anita McCambridge.  Here's hoping the Hanson Brothers show up soon.  At least they were entertaining.

He’s had one of the best seasons by any player ever, and this is your take?  Maybe if he didn’t have to be the staff ace AND best player on offense by a mile…..

Whoever gets him will be very happy, maybe Angels fans don’t deserve him if they’re this thick.  But at least we still have Trout at 35 million a year and 3 WAR if we’re lucky.

Nice sound bites.  I stand by my position.  He doesn't help his team win.  Should have traded him last year when his values was at its peak.  Arty decided to Milk him for revenue.  Time to move on.

Ohtani is the opposite of Pujols.  He’s thin and wiry and actually stays in shape.  I think he’ll hold up for many years.  Also his real age is known ha.

He'll be 30 next year.  Can't survive in a 5 man rotation, so forces his team to carry 6 starters (and that 6th starter usually results in a loss), has no position in the field and is showing signs of breaking down (cramping?).  Dude is massively overvalued.  We should wish him well and move on.

Don't massively overpay for Ohtani.  Let him be someone else's Pujols.  Consider Rendon a sunk cost.  Take the $$ that would have gone to Ohtani and start the rebuild.

Rendon would have fielded that and then thrown it into the dugout.

Phil was playing for the E6 all along.  He's playing chess while we're all playing checkers.

Why in holy hell was Thaiss asked to bunt on the first pitch? Took away his whole AB.

Phil is not the brightest bulb in the bunch

Easy win if IF played in position all game

Lets hope that improves his trade value.

Looked like a play Rengifo could've made

Out of position yet again.  Easy play if he's actually playing 2b.

Phil told us Astros know how to win.  Sadly, he doesn't

WOW!

And there it is.  Three easy grounders turn into game over.  Remind me why Nevin is still here?

Grounder to short followed by two grounders to second base all turn into hits because SS and 2B playing out of position.  Brilliant.

Think this website should consider changing its name.  

Angels clearly don't understand sunk cost

Addition by subtraction

When is Stassi coming back?   No idea what's going on and wish him the best, but if he isn't going to play, he needs to make that known so we can add another MLB catcher instead of trying to limp along with Thaiss.

Good grief! He finally has a good game and now he’s out again… 

So a weak pop up that the left fielder lost in the sun, a walk, a pop up to short, a fly out to LF and a HBP is a good game?

Dude is fragile, both mentally and physically.  Complete bust.

Based on Tony's reaction, the Oakland fan was spot on.  

Think I like the new pitch clock.  2 and a half hours of pain is better than full 3 hours of pain.

I'd prefer 47 year old Scot Shields in the 8th over Loup and Tapera.
