That’s more of what I was thinking. This situation just seems so out of nowhere, out of nowhere reasons come to mind.

Could this have anything to do with Skaggs?

He’s going to top David Price’s contract. 7 years, $220 million.

I think as a whole, it is accurate that the players do care. But the game I went to in Oakland on 9/4 made it seem that they have games they do stop caring about. After being down 0-4 after the 5th, the team lost all energy and their body language seemed like they were already defeated. That they just wanted the game to be over with already. No fight after that.

Angels pitchers with outings of 6IP and 3ER or less since All-Star break: Peters - 3 Rest of Staff - 2

Without Adell, our farm is very underwhelming in the sense of having prospects that will be, instead of might be. And I know technically all prospects are might bes, but y’all should know what I mean. Here’s a break down of 50 grade or above prospects per team according to MLB.com: ARI (16) - 55 (4), 50 (12) ATL (10) - 60 (1), 55 (4), 50 (5) BAL (11) - 65 (1), 55 (3), 50 (7) BOS (11) - 55 (1), 50 (10) CHC (10) - 55 (2), 50 (8) CWS (9) - 65 (1), 55 (4), 50 (4) CIN (10) - 55 (3), 50 (7) CLE (13) - 55 (4), 50 (9) COL (6) - 60 (1), 55 (1), 50 (4) DET (14) - 65 (1), 55 (3), 50 (10) HOU (3) - 60 (2), 50 (1) KC (8) - 60 (1), 55 (2), 50 (5) LAA (5) - 65 (1), 50 (4) LAD (14) - 60 (1), 55 (3), 50 (10) MIA (12) - 55 (6), 50 (6) MIL (9) - 55 (1), 50 (8) MIN (13) - 60 (2), 55 (3), 50 (8) NYM (12) - 55 (3), 50 (9) NYY (12) - 55 (3), 50 (9) OAK (8) - 55 (3), 50 (5) PHI (8) - 55 (2), 50 (6) PIT (7) - 55 (3), 50 (4) SD (10) - 65 (1), 55 (7), 50 (2) SF (10) - 55 (4), 50 (6) SEA (8) - 55 (5), 50 (3) STL (8) - 55 (2), 50 (6) TB (11) - 70 (1), 60 (1), 55 (4), 50 (5) TEX (16) - 55 (3), 50 (13) TOR (13) - 60 (2), 55 (1), 50 (10) WAS (8) - 55 (2), 50 (6)

Was there an opener in today’s game for the Angels? If you’re going to cry about it, there are plenty of other threads up on the subject.

Now, but they won’t.

Peters since being recalled 7/21: 3 G, 16.2 IP, 2.70 ERA.

7.2 IP, 3 ER is not the reason the team is losing tonight.

Should we start taking Dillon Peters seriously? Pretty good outing so far today.

I like the idea of targeting the Reds for the first and second option. Roark would be a decent relatively inexpensive rental to pick up, or maybe someone like Mahle for long term. Local kid, bad era so may l come relatively cheap, but he’s young, has decent stuff, and his FIP and xFIP look good.

For comparison, here’s Gerrit Cole’s trade return: https://www.mlb.com/news/pirates-net-4-players-in-trade-of-gerrit-cole-c264681718 I don’t think we have the prospects not named Adell to make this trade.

Nothing is guaranteed. But I think we can agree it is significantly more likely that Syndergaard will be better. He is also more marketable.

It appears so. Many have speculated that there was a gentleman’s agreement to not swing and ump will call it a ball.
