Angels 1961

The Buck has stopped many places but will the BUCK stop here.

cheap guy

Better than going as Will. In old days captain during battle would say fire at Will.

How about Billy Eppler coming back to sign Ohtani?

Had team with highest payroll did very well

No, I got my season seats after my divorce.

I had seasons seats for 6 years in the mid 80's. After I got divorced and before I got married again. What I did was have 6 of us pay for the tickets. So got to go to 13 games a year. Each person would get to see each team at least once. In our group we would trade tickets. This worked out really well.

Jeff, not on this subject but attendance in Tampa for playoffs all-time low. Why build a stadium there? Rodney Linares for manager.

Maybe Jose Quintana would want to come back to halos. Michael Lorenzen he likes going to the beach and Thor is a free agent.

Tampa crowds are just sad especially for playoffs. Why would they want to build stadium there?

Pitchers like Sonny Gray want to win so they tend to sign with good teams. Pitchers like Giolito sign with halos. Robert Stevenson be good sign for BP.

Bottom line for me this team a new direction to go in. Ohtani will be gone and I would see if Trout would want to be traded. Rendon's contract 3 more years halos stuck with that. Save some money on Trout's contract maybe send 75 to 85 mill to new team. Try and add some more young players to go with what halos have. Baltimore turned it around in 4 years and I think Angel's can also. Growing pains in next 2 to 3 years but something has to change from last 8 years.

I speak the truth about this team.

All the bickering about a team that is a total mess. Will get new manager this year and new GM year after. Playing losing baseball last 8 years and going into this off season without any direction. Perry will sign another Loup and Tepera this off season. Overpay for a Giolito so the misery will continue. Angels missed big opportunity at trade deadline and not trading Ohtani among others. Trading away 2 of their top prospects to further empty what little was in farm system. This off season will be more of the same as Angel's trying to compete for a playoff spot. Trout and Rendon need to be healthy will once again be playing at your local ballpark in 2024.

I say Texas, that lineup is stacked. They are building a dynasty. In 2025 he can strikeout Trout again.

Next manager should have a medical background.

In 1961 who was Gene Autrey first choice to be manager. It was manager Yankees fired after 1960 season. He declined but in 1962 became first manager of NY Mets.

I'm sure Ohtani and Trout watching. Be nice to see them in playoffs someday.

Erstad was coach at Nebraska for 9 years. Good with young players and halos have many young players now. I do not think he would take job.

Erstad makes the catch forever in my memory

I hope you are right but he will be 30 next year. Just too many question marks for halos to make playoffs.

Sometimes the truth hurts.

San Diego cutting payroll so they are out. Seattle will not put up that kind of money so they are out. SF would spend but not winning every year so they are out. Angels 8 losing seasons so they are out. Dodgers maybe but they do not like 8 or 9 year deals. Dodgers win every year and really do not need Ohtani. JD Martinez on 10 mill to DH had nice year. Jason Heyward picked off scrap heap very nice year. So why would they spend 500 mill. I'm going out on limb and say it will be Cubs.

I've been a fan since December 1960 I'm not going away. I look at numbers of games played last 3 years of Trout and Rendon they do not lie. Dream on if you and Perry are counting on those 2 in 2024 to be the difference. Eight losing seasons and what will change in 2024?

Nothing said on direction of the team?
