• Won the game instead of continuing to tank to increase the likelihood of trading Ohtani?

Estevez has been really good, and O'Hoppe and Neto too, when healthy. Ohtani of course, but we really need to trade him and get some rebuilding parts in return. The team needs an overhaul. 

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.

Nevin playing for a one-run deficit at home?

it's just time to get the farm from somebody for ohtani ! he is a 3rd rotation pitcher on a good team and besides this year a he is a power hitter with an average BA ...This 600 million contract he will get is basically spending a 100 million a year on the 6 years he will even matter !!! sorry to go against popular opinion, but the halos building around their young core is how they will find success not only quickest, but with sustained success too 🙂

About contending in the second half?
Hard to do that when you can’t execute.
What was that John McKay said about the Bucs’ execution?   In favor of it?

Dumb play by Moustakas.  The Angels do some
The Angels do something like that a couple times EVERY game!

Ohtani looks tired of this s*&t!

yeah he also gifted the bases loaded

2 fucking defensive brain fades have cost the Angels 2 runs.  Son of a bitch, this is what separates the Angels from legit contenders.  So stupid.

I'm with you. Is the pitching staff? They can be a deal breaker

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.

The thing that galls me the most about the whole Beltre affair was the fact that he was practically begging for one of the SoCal clubs to sign him. I understand why the Dodgers would not be interested, having been there, done that. And money might have been an issue for the Padres back then but it certainly was not for the Halos.
Also, the butterfly effect goes much further...
Not giving Wells, Pujols, and Hamilton all the money they did means they have the money to keep Greinke and keep replenishing the rotation, once Weaver starts to break down. Plus they don't have turn the page on the likes of Torii Hunter, Howie Kendrick, and Erik Aybar because of money or their dearth of starting pitching. Never mind the fact that Jerry Dipoto probably never becomes the GM and thusly, never gets the chance to obliterate the farm system and player development apparatus like he did.
The Beltre non-signings, both of them were a downward turning point for the organization that it still hasn't recovered from.

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.

Great podcast!  There is nothing wrong with this club that building a time machine and offering Beltre that 6th year wouldn't fix.

As soon as he hits 4 more, then Tony "TwoBags" will have as many doubles in his 4-year Angels' career, as he had in 2019 for the Nationals.  
P.S. - should happen sometime in 2025

Wallach is regressing a bit, but he's still a damn good 4th string catcher!
