Nobody really cares whether he likes baseball or not, it's how he carries himself. He's the living embodiment of "you're not wrong, you're just an asshole". It's a lot easier to deal with a personality like that when he's an MVP candidate and one of the best players in baseball. The schtick starts to grow old when you can't stay on the field with a quarter billion dollar contract.

He doesn't seem to have a long term plan for anything. I think he's just a bored, rich old man that wouldn't know what to do with himself if he actually sold the team. His response about the stadium seems to coincide with this, which was practically "I'll probably be dead in 2038, who cares?" It's funny that he's so big on selling "entertainment", yet winning is likely the biggest part of a team being interesting and drawing new fans. Entertainment for him is a splashy name, not an actual good baseball team. This is the entire root of the franchise's problems. He's had two all-time, HOF level players fall into his lap and has zilch to show for it. Garbage, penny pinching player development, continually a garbage tier farm system. A lot of people are huffing the hype pipe on Schanuel, Neto, and O'Hoppe, but these are more complementary pieces, not guys you build a team around. Sorry to be such a downer, but man this a dark time for Angels fans.

I mean, what else are we going to do? Our farm is mediocre to bad so it's not like we have a bunch of talent waiting in the wings. If the Angels aren't ever going to rebuild (and that ship has already sailed anyways by getting zilch for Ohtani), then overpriced free agents are the only avenue we have. -

Quick and dirty 2024 lineup assessment
Reveille1984 replied to Angelsjunky's topic in LA Angels | MLB Daily
Yeah, I'm just taking this year as a nice flash in the pan, best possible case scenario for Moniak. He has a 2.8% BB rate and around a .400 BABIP. I'm thinking more like a .240/.270/.440 line is more realistic. -
It would be fairly hilarious if he actually just up and retired. Sadly, a dude owed this much money would never do that.

What is this team’s “Rock Bottom” for you?
Reveille1984 replied to The Ghost of Bob Starr's topic in LA Angels | MLB Daily
Once Ohtani leaves, we'll pretty much be at rock bottom IMHO. Our ownership is the running joke of baseball. Our only star level player is 32 and on the backswing of his career. Our farm system is perpetually one of the worst in MLB, and we got rid of the only real top 100 guy we had for the walking corpse of Giolito. We have a rotating stockpile of #3/4/5 starters. Our position players are all middling to slightly above average, with no real standouts outside of some possible glimmer of hope for Neto/O'Hoppe/Schanuel one day turning into something. But they are all still big question marks. Like Stradling said, I just find other things to do and gradually care less about the Angels. I follow other sports, hockey and NFL are coming back around. Play some guitar, hang out with my wife and son, drink some beers and enjoy life. -
Angels Open to Trading Trout (IF he requests one)
Reveille1984 replied to Tyler's topic in LA Angels | MLB Daily
Barring the legitimacy of the article, even if he wants out there's just not a lot of realistic options out there. He has around 7 years / $250M remaining on his deal and already can't stay on the field consistently. That likely isn't going to get better in his age 32-38 seasons. We'd probably have to be the ones adding just to get rid of that contract. -
Shohei Ohtani tears UCL, won't pitch again this season
Reveille1984 replied to mmc's topic in LA Angels | MLB Daily
Sucks for Ohtani though. Right before signing likely the biggest FA contract of all time he likely needs yet another TJ surgery and probably won't pitch again until he's 31. I really wonder what kind of deal he'll get now.
