Happy Birthday Stradling. Hope you’re doing well. 

Is it crazy to think that the hard work that Billy put in was finally starting to pay off. He inherited a pretty big mess. Now Walsh, Trout, Fletcher, Rendon, Bundy, Upton, Ward just need some pitching help. I think at the very least one more year was earned. 

No big deal, we have SS Nonie Williams ready to go in the system. He’s the guy that Eppler picked ahead of Dustin May. 

Does Eppler’s current contact expire at midnight tonight?

Trout has had that happen as well. That's a home run over the fence even if doesn't get there. But let's burn the rookie to the ground for playing a total of one game in center field this season in a stadium he's never played in before.

Well he definitely gave it a great effort but that ball would’ve hit the wall if he didn’t get there. Props to Adell for even being close enough to the play.

He should have walked, the ump called an unhittable ball 4 inside 2 inches

That pitch was on the corner. He passed on better pitches.

Umpire payed off, Ohtani does right but the league is rigged for him to fail

That’s not true. Shohei has the yips at the plate. He needs to fix that.

Man it's so sad, the expanded playoffs were literally an invitation by MLB to the playoffs for the Angels exclusively, and we miss it by a few games.  I hope expanded playoffs aren't the new normal.

They were handing out playoff spots like Halloween candy. We got a rock.

Team needs a new look, something has been off for a while.  Many many years.

They need to change their road uniforms.

Jo Adell's bat has 3 HR's. Jo Adell's glove has 2 HR's.

He should have stayed in LB, for his own good.

Adell obviously took the overs.

So Rojas talking about the dead guy just said that not a day goes by that we wish you were here with us. 

They should award him an assist on that play.

Lol @ Adell handing out home runs.

You got 3rd place trophies to mail them or something?

I just don’t want to mail the 3rd Place trophies to Seattle.

There's 3 innings left.

We are a 1/2 game out of 3rd place so I want to see them try to win.

Jose Mota is an idiot.

Robles. Needs to be gone next year.

Something went way wrong him.

It’s probably as much as we’ll ever get from Trout in terms of sending a signal out publicly about his wishes.  Again, imo Moreno would be wise to not fuck around with this.  

Trout has actually become gradually more vocal in recent seasons. There’s no doubt that his frustration is gradually increasing as well. If the playoff format goes back to normal next season it’s going to be even tougher to get there.

Also I went to bed before the game was over. Didn't find out about being eliminated until after my morning dropoff.

It’s ok to be upset and feeling down with the team. It’s warranted. This long playoff drought for a team that has consistently spent money is mind boggling. I believe they’re trying but a whole lot of sh*t went wrong the past decade.

You took my post literally. My first thought was getting coffee and taking a shit.

It’s actually a genius way to start a gameday thread.

I think you’re on a good path tbh. You’ll find that sports are much more enjoyable the more detached you become. 

Yep. I can’t understand how people take it to bed and wake up the next morning with it being the first thing on their mind. 

Team Simmons.

I feel Great!
