BTH reacted to Inside Pitch in AngelsWin Today: Five Take-Aways From Los Angeles Angels GM Perry Minasian’s 2024 Chalk-Talk
NP!
It really was a crazy sequence of events. Stoneman, steps aside in 07, Daniel gets popped in 09 and the infusion of LA talent that had been PUMPING completely stops. Then followed up one of the greatest drafts in MLB history in 2009, with one of the worst ever in 2010 and then Dipoto comes in after the 2011 season and gets rid of everyone that had basically built one of the best scouting departments in MLB. The Yankees and Red Sox wasted no time hoovering most of the people the Angels let go, most notably Abe Flores goes to the NYY, Eddie Bane and Tom Kotchman go to Boston but all told more than 30 former AngelS front office people went to those two teams..
They may have been able to weather the situation better had the purge not happened but all of those things in such quick succession between 08 and the end of 2011 ... RIP.

Man Tri-Cities really sucks. They need to find another High-A level affiliate.
Though I do have some good news that I came across a couple weeks back from the folks there that they will be announcing later this week.

He has a ton of family at the game and I believe a portion of them went to Baltimore as well.
Might be over amped/trying to do too much.

It only took a week for one of my bold predictions to absolutely blow up.
Good stuff.

BTH reacted to Vegas Halo Fan in OC Register: Reid Detmers leads Angels pitching staff to series-salvaging victory over Orioles
I beg to differ. In the first two games of the season, the Angels also showed what their pitchers can do. Be shelled early and often.

Are we supposed to pretend the former player isn't Mark Gubicza?

I could see him DHing with Rengifo or Sanó at 3B.

11-9 record or better.
No more than 2 leads blown (and subsequently games lost) in the 7th inning or later.
No more than 2 games where two runs or less are scored.
Health.

against the best pitcher in the league tho.
I'm not gonna fret too much about the offense's performance against a great pitcher when their own starter choked

BTH got a reaction from Taylor in Angels trade Trey Cabbage to the Astros for Carlos Espinosa
Raider Uceta played two games in the Astros org.
Rainier Rivas hit .152/.199/.261 in A ball in 2022 and hasn’t played since.

BTH reacted to Docwaukee in Tired of the negativity
I just realized that in years past I was only really interested in wins and losses.
This year, I'm legitimately interested in watching a bunch of guys on the team play. I also like Ron and haven't liked either of our last two managers.
And I'm sorta over the whole Ohtani thing.
I'm ready to see a team that's decent to good at pretty much all positions.
Going back ten years, I would say that I enjoyed watching Trout and Ohtani of course, but outside of that there were very few. Howie, Richards, Shoemaker, Simmons and that's about it.
This year I will want to see Neto, O'Hoppe, Schanuel, Rengifo, Trout, Ward, Sandoval, Detmers, Soriano, Drury, Canning, and a few others.
They might not win enough to make the playoffs, but I like this team.

Kelvin Caceres is the Angels best reliever at season’s end.
Nelson Rada makes his MLB debut towards the end of the season.
Jo Adell outperforms Mickey Moniak (is that bold?)
Angels attendance dips below 2.25 million.
Arte signs a big name free agent to a $250M+ deal.
