Angel Oracle

I have a bad feeling E-Pay is going to become an emoji. 

Glad to see Adell back in there.

Sandoval with a catcher who can't frame for shit. This should be funny.

He may not be available this coming winter if he pitches like shit. 

Both times someone has brought him up this year he's gone on to shit the bed in his start.  Two starts, 7 IP total. Not sure I get why anyone is still acting like the Angels missed out on something.  Unless he gets hurt he'll be available again this winter with no draft compensation. 

Blake Snell has a higher ERA than anyone on the Angels currently.  Obviously it won’t end the season like that but the track record for starting pitchers missing spring training is bad. 

15 years ago we were still relevant. 
Those were simpler times. 
Very sad.

1. Hicks as the 5 hole hitter and planning like an every day player isn't going to to cut it. Dude can still hit lefties, but that's its. Give him some bats against lefties either Of or Dh.
2. Might be time for a Phatom IL for Canning. Clearly there's some thing wrong (Mechanic or health) get him a few days to figure it out and cab up either Wantz or Davis to take his next spot.
3. Move Ohoppe up to the 5 spot
4. DFA Suraez.

That won't likely happen. The umpires union is fairly powerful and protective of its members. 

fifteen games in, gents. fifteen. let's at least give washington a full month before some of you decide that this team without enough talent is losing because the manager isn't good enough to turn them into a powerhouse.

I believe we all know angels will finish around .500.. I love it when they win and I'm not disappointed when they lose. 

But you supported someone who called our manager a crackhead. That makes you pathetic. My hypocrisy? Nevin sucks but if someone called him a crackhead I’d tell that person they were shitty. Sorry Nevin sucked and us telling you that hurt you. 

It is a ridiculous comment. If you wanna call our manager a crackhead then you are probably a huge piece of shit. 

DFA his fat ass on the tarmac. 

Suarez needs to be DFA'd before they get back home.
If someone claims him and he goes on to be the CY Young winner for the next 5 years, good for him.  It is never, ever going to happen here.

There was a reason we signed him fairly quickly. He (wisely) jumped on an offer that appeared to be out of line with his track record. 

So much "no habla ingles" this year from the Angels.

Rinse wash repeat this headline.  

And then you have pitchers shaking off catchers and managers to control what they throw to avoid a fine. No thanks. 

A 3.90 ERA translates to 111 ERA+.  His FIP 2.71 and xFIP 4.39 are both significantly better than his ERA this year, dude needs to get over his Mike Witt BS and keep his head on straight when adversity hits because other than his FB still getting torqued he's had success with everything else.
