  1. I'm still mad at him for not bringing home the winning run from 3rd with less than two outs, during game 5 1986 playoffs.
  2. Gutless pussies? Possibly. To me, this team just never played loose all year. Ohtani is extremely popular, and they were desperate to keep him. What they needed, early on, was for Trout to hit a homerun, then take that Samurai Warrior hat and just stomp on it while screaming, "USA bitches!!!" That may have loosened things up.
  3. Curt Schilling says they were the last team to "hit" their way to a championship. If you look at our veteran starters, I'd have to agree. The bullpen, however, and the rookie starter were pretty good!
  4. Don't forget Spiezio and B. Molina. These were two of the Halo's greatest clutch performers ever. Also, we were able to shorten games with Donnelly, Krod, Percival and that goggles guy.
  5. Yeah, but, that fastball MOVED!
  6. Dumb play by Moustakas. The Angels do some The Angels do something like that a couple times EVERY game!
  7. If I'm being honest, I'm kinda rooting for this team to just collapse so we can get something for Ohtani. The worst thing would be to barely hang on.
  8. When I look at MLB top prospects, I don't see any Yankees we would want. I think the Reds have the best prospects that would fit our club in Marte, Arroyo, and Collier. I don't even see anyone on the Yankees MLB roster that would be a fit for us.
  9. Trade Ohtani to improve the team, but offer Ippei a half a million to stay. Shohei will miss him so much he'll have no choice but to return.
  10. Butterfly effect. We don't sign Vernon Wells, Hamilton, or Pujols because Kendrys Morales gets moved down in the order to hit behind Beltre, and thus, never hits the homerun where he has the freak ankle injury. That ONE year he balked at paying Beltre cost Arte 1/2 a billion! Instead, we were reduced to trying Trumbo at 3B.
  11. Great podcast! There is nothing wrong with this club that building a time machine and offering Beltre that 6th year wouldn't fix.
  12. I think we have a good young nucleus with O'Hoppe, Neto, Moniak, Adell, and Detmers. The possibility of adding another piece or two by trading Ohtani is enticing. The economic measure of satisfaction is the "util". I, personally, would derive more utils from watching Ohtani in a playoff race and the postseason, then from watching him in play for a Halo squad that is just not going to get it done.
