I browsed through this article yesterday. Can't remember if it stated anything about a new stadium in the same lot. That would be the ideal situation. LA Live is amazing. Texas Live in Arlington is amazing and even better once their new ballpark opens up. Seattle has a great atmosphere around their park along with the Giants and Padres. The Angels really need this. They're making strides with Golden Road and some of the new apartment buildings but building up this massive entertainment district would really put the Angels on the map for must travel destinations for opposing fans. In a perfect world I'd love to see a new stadium and a new arena for the Ducks on the same lot together. Both teams really really need the upgrade. Honda Center is close but still a bit of an inconvenience.

Thanks a lot, gents! It's been a long time coming but I definitely found the one. Couldn't be happier right now. Such a surreal feeling.

At her quinceanera actually

Uhh... It's Bourjesus.

I was also wondering this. A new ballpark next to the Inglewood stadium and Forum would be smart.

The most likely result will be a new stadium going up in the current parking lot. Plenty of space to build a new stadium and support parking until the current stadium is torn down. As you can see by this brilliantly designed microsoft paint diagram I made a few years ago regarding a possible NFL Stadium in the lot, it's very doable. I'm assuming that Chinese development deal on the corner of State and Orange is still happening, correct? Either way, there's a great opportunity here to develop the lot into an entertainment area, build a new stadium and bring in the $$ for all parties involved.

If Montour is the centerpiece of a deal for Nylander you HAVE to do that immediately. Montour isn't anything special. More and more as I watch him the less impressive he looks imo. Whether it's his D partner or simply just not meeting expectations we should absolutely sell him while we can. Now with that said... I don't think Nylander is an 8 Million AAV player right now. Maybe a bridge deal for 2 years around 5-6 Million and then lock him up long term after that. He's clearly talented and someone the Ducks can build a future around.

Angels really drop the ball with their marketing and in game promos. It’s been like this for years now. But hey... we have the world record events!

He was somewhat growing on me too in a genital wart kinda way. Annoyed you have it but a reminder of at least a few good times.

I’m a fan. Good to see the Angels making a decision on their plan the rest of the season. Time to fully commit to it now. Sell out all players that don’t have a future here next season and stock up a few more prospects. Trade Kole now. Might be able to take advantage of it

Agreed. With his fastball and slider combo he could be a dominant closer. Probably crank it up to 101-102 as a closer with that 90 MPH slider. Could be back for the stretch run next season if that's the case. It worked for Jordan Walden for a while and Richards has way better stuff than he does. It's complicated with him hitting free agency while recovering TJS though. Very tough for teams to offer him a deal this offseason perhaps?

JMF will probably get a start and then Valbuena since the thread hasn't hit 1000 posts yet.

This is quite depressing. How in the blue hell is this dumpster fire team pretty much maxed out. Oh yeah... Perry and Kesler. We need to unload Silf and Perry 100% Maybe package them together and hang onto some of Perry's money. Simply dumping him is reward enough for me though. Montour is very meh for me. No way in hell does he deserve 3-4 mill AAV with just 1 season played. He's no where near that good. (yet)

This has been so Facking underwhelming so far. Unfortunately, when you have guys like Perry and Kesler clogging up the payroll it's hard to make moves. Especially with how much guys are getting right now in Free Agency. All of these moves so far have been non factor moves. Meanwhile, every other team is getting stronger. Hate to say it, gents, but the window is officially closed on the Getzlaf era. GMBM is a huge reason for this.

Getting the vibe the best bet is to convert some of our non top SP prospects into relievers. Let's them open up the arm for some more velocity.

Constructing a bullpen isn't easy. I do give Eppler some slack for this. Look at most of the FA relievers that were available in the offseason. Most if not all are complete ass right now. Bullpen arms are suffering from Ervin Santana syndrome it seems. Very inconsistent and you never know what you'll get. Is trading a possibly decent prospect worth it? Maybe. Obviously it's a risk like with any trade but damn. These relievers are so hard to judge.

Yup. Time to sell off the team. Totally the fault of this crappy team that the AL West is a juggernaut this season and a .500 team is in 4th place.

2012 is by far the most disappointing season. Huge offseason signings. A rotation of Weaver, Haren, Wilson, Santana, Greinke (for 2 months) and an offense that had 3 30+ HR guys. That team actually had hype and expectations. No one expected the 2018 Angels to have the start they did and compete. We all figured they'd contend for the 2nd WC spot which is somewhat where they are currently.

Canning also got shelled from what I hear. Doubt he gets the call. It'll be a AAA scrub. Also, with how they're watching his innings I'd rather not have him start in the majors just yet to only go 3-4 innings and have his shutout get ruined by the pen.

Dammit, Nate! You had a golden opportunity here. They clear space, Ritchie is just a waste of space.

Sorry I'm thinking logically here. If you wanna tell someone to kick rocks why don't you tell the owner of this place too? He's just as annoyed with this lineup as we are. @Chuckster70 I don't think any of us believe this 1 move will make or break the game or season for that matter but honestly.. A guy goes 3-4 with an overall strong game and gets rewarded with the bench? I feel for Fletcher and many other players that have had this happen to them. It's not an end of the world move but FFS give these kids some confidence and rewards for performing.

Also, since when is saying "F*ck Scioscia" throwing a tantrum? lol

@Blarg, you told me to not bother watching the game if I'm throwing a "tantrum" over the lineup card. Well buddy, if you're going to throw a tantrum about posts here then how bout you don't bother posting? ?

Hmmm I don't know. Might be due to the fact the 1 rookie that's not there is the one that had a 3 hit game and a huge play defensively to keep us ahead at the time. Thinking about it now... You're totally right. My bad, Blarg...

F@ck Mike Scioscia. What's the logic behind this brilliant decision?
