I am sure if (or when) the Angels start to suck we will get a full dose of Adell, Moniak and Rengifo so the front office can make a decision for 2025 and beyond with those guys. As of now Hicks, Drury and Sano having seasons at their career best give us a better chance of winning and finding something magical

Is there any way that we can make sure Rendon and Arte are tied to Ohtani’s gambling bets?

Did he and his dugout sidekick finally get married?

Rendon had Daddy Donut day at the school.  Every since they upgraded from glazed to maple bars he made it a priority to never miss one again.  

We haven’t had anyone with fire on this team in quite a while. It is no wonder this org has gone in the shitter once weaver and Hunter left. Both guys who demanded the best of everyone in the dugout. Hunter had the balls to go after Pujols. 
 

I love Trout but he is not that guy. 
 

we don’t have that guy. 

We are officially the Clippers under Donald Sterling. 

Rivas ended the season (last two games) batting over .500. Reports I read said he finally figured out a hitch in his swing. Rivas is ready to explode. He has figured it out. I'm interested to see what he does with Moniak protecting him. 
 

thanks Arte!

Arte sucks and now I am trying to convince my 16 year old not to become a Dodger fan.  

Just get rid of the team Arte.  You have set this team back so far in the last 5 months.  Don't even bother wasting your money on some past their prime pitchers that we are left hoping for a rebound.  Just leave, just sell the team.

I think he feels like he will sign Bellinger, Yamamoto, and Snell now. 

Not bloody likely

I haven’t been in the hangout forum in a while. Lou and Brandon both passed away. Sad times. 
 

Whenever I watch a ucla game i will forever and always think of Lou 

My son finished on the all state team. He would whip all your asses on the course. 
 

he is hoping to get some offers this next couple of weeks. He wants to stay in Utah so that limits him. Youth golf is pretty stacked here. Two schools are showing interest.  He could go to most D2 and naia schools but he doesn’t want to academically do that. 
 

in his final round of state his playing partner had the Alabama coach follow him the whole time. He literally stood 30 feet from him the whole time and just stared him and down and didn’t say a word. Just watched and stared. 
 

my son was the only player in all divisions to finish the season on the all state team and the all state academic team. Such a good kid. I hope he gets a shot to play d1 golf. It is hard to get that chance. Not a lot of available spots. 

No way! So sad! I always liked his humor on here

I’m here. Just don’t post as much. I lurk around. 
 

tank was supposed to keep my latest happenings quiet. We obviously will not be doing lunch anymore. 

Im here!

What’s next today?

Arte announcing he will never sell the team. Ever. 

I haven’t been this excited since Ricky Nolasco was our opening day starter in 2017

Pitcher A (2022): 33 starts, 3.3 fWAR, 2.4 bWAR $36M

Pitcher B (2022): 27 starts, 3.8 fWAR, 3.4 bWAR, $720K

Which player was the better value this year? Pitcher B by far.

Pitcher A is obvious. Who is Pitcher B?

Cool, let's go out and sign 5 pitcher B's.

We can't go into the season with Adell inked as the starter.

Yep. Livan Soto wouldn't stop me from hoping the Angels go hard for one of these FA SS, but with the whole team sale thing still to unfold, not sure we see them go that route

Of course he is not going to continue to hit .400 or even .300 for that matter but it is a lot cheaper to find a LF than a SS and there is nothing that I have really ever seen that leads me to believe that Adell is going to figure things out.  Soto's approach at the plate looks so much more confident than anything Adell has ever shown. We don't have enough money to go out and spend to become a contender.  In a fantasy world it would be nice to go out and spend money in all our needs but the reality is we need to hit the right signings next year and hope the best from some guys.  

We need to upgrade OF.  We don't seem to have internal options that are better than the poor output Adell has given us.    

We have options at the INF to start next year that will improve on our situation this year and they are cheap.

We have to hope that Rendon finally earns a little bit of his contract and that Walsh bounces back. We need O'hoppe to be an improvement at the plate at C when he is ready to take over (and this should not be hard with what we got this year from the C spot). 

Then we have to find a starting pitcher that can be a #2. Are they willing to spend the money....and then they need to get bullpen guys.

Is Arte willing to sign a starting OF, a pitcher and relief pitchers?  I think we have to sign that and hope for the best with what we have.  So many "hopes" but that is the state of the organization right now. 

Not my score but my 16 year old just qualified for the Utah Open as a junior amateur.  He is beyond excited.  Should be a fun experience for him.  There is a couple of ex PGA tour guys who usually show up.  Tony Romo played in it last year.....and there are a lot of club pros that will play in it because the Utah Open is run by the Utah PGA.  He will probably be one of 5 junior's or so.    

I think our best shot at doing something is 2024 so I like this trade.....but we need more pieces.  We till have almost two hours to get something for Thor....and any other player that someone will take.  We need more pieces. 

Did anyone notice that Rendon wore his shin guard on the wrong leg in the 8th inning.  What an idiot. Why would a lefty batter wear a guard on his left leg?

Stay grounded?  I am a fan and this is entertainment.  I am enjoying every second of the ride because experiencing the last 8 years, I know that these rides do not come in that often.

I'm all in!!!  World series here we come!
