Artie definitely neglected the farm system. Teams invest in their farm system to build a winning organization. It takes time and the money spent isn’t as flashy as signing a big name free agent. Artie had Ohtani at a bargain price and pocketed the savings instead of investing. REN-DONE signing was an abysmal failure. The Angels had their share of bad luck with the injuries to Trout but they were never a serious contender and should have traded Ohtani at the trade deadline or even before the season to maximize his value and acquire players to replace him. Moreno and Minasain were conned into believing that they could compete. Nevin was the stooge that was too worried about keeping his job rather than tell them the truth. This team wasn’t close to contention.

Nevin has been stealing a paycheck for a long time. I hope he’s hurting just like I was every time I had to watch Barria pitch. Maybe they are curled up on a couch somewhere spooning. Neither one of those clowns belong in baseball at any level. As for Minasian he should have been let go as well. He went all in with a pair of deuces at the trading deadline with Nevin as his manager. That’s the definition of insanity.

Golito is pitching. Put Barria in for the Angels. First team to 25 wins. Today will be the Home Run Derby for Losers.

They are paying him and Ren DONE for not playing regardless. Trout doesn’t belong in the same sentence as REN DONE but irregardless he can’t stay on the field.

I’m just pissed that they haven’t put Nevin on waivers yet. Oh that along with the excitement from watching Barria throw batting practice. He should get a job as full time pitcher for the home run derby. He puts it there perfectly.

He probably strained his back watching the Barria bombs go over the wall. Does Barria get paid by the home runs allowed? Guy would be making major bank. Every time he pitches it just reminds me that Nevin isn’t coming back and I feel better about the Barria barrage.

Nevin has no brain! He’s in way over his head. He would struggle as a high school coach.

If Barria gets in the game then the overs are a lock. Barria Batting Practice!

Barria is dogshit ! If he had any dignity at all he would fake an injury. Phil Nevin using Barria is as stupid as they come in managerial moves. Nevins Managerial career tombstone will have pictures of Barria and Estevez on it.

Looks like he’s officially Ren Done! He can now go home to Texas and spend his day counting all the money he stole.

Barria Batting practice to look forward to. Barf. Seriously why is Barria still on this team? I’m guessing Nevin needs someone to eat innings but seriously.

What a BOLD Prediction !

Judging by the recent games it seems like 3.80 per inning but regardless if you’re not throwing strikes then you’re always behind in the count against the players that you’re pitching to. Look at what batting averages are when the counts are 2-0 or 3-1. Totally different story than if you’re pitching ahead in the count. Angels pitching has been terrible between all the walks and the 0-2 meatballs. They need to paint the catchers glove fluorescent orange and get vision testing for the entire staff. They’re atrocious.

Perry knew that this team as constructed didn’t have enough pitching to hold a lead in their own division let alone run down teams ahead of them. Angels are what they are which is a mediocre aging team that is just a little bit better than the Kansas City’s or the A’s in the American League. We see things with our hearts as fan’s but he is getting paid big bucks to make the right moves to better the team. He failed the organization.

Definitely fits with what the Angels need. Between starting pitchers and relievers it seems like they must average 6-8 walks per game at minimum. Who needs to get hits when you get free passes to first base. Angels staff are like bad Little League pitchers. They will throw 4 balls before they throw 3 strikes. Pitching coach needs to follow the manager who is in over his head out the door.
