Cut him, eat the money, and be done with it. Begin the healing.

Makes Glass Joe look like Bald Bull.

Just release him already.

It could be worse. They could could have pulled Hicks back off of waivers. 

Kevin will be a pillar of the community 

He hurt his knees begging Arte to add players to the roster. 

No, he will be golfing. 

And if there is a silver lining, it’s that both Adell and Moniak are at a stage in their careers where they either need to entrench themselves and be a part going forward, or the Angels will need to move on from them being a part of long-term plans, and that was only going to really be justifiably definitive either way if they both banked significant, uninterrupted playing time this year.

Just blow the whole thing up.  Hell, bring up Rada and Fontenelle.  Dana, too.  Let's at least have some fun.  If Willie fucking Calhoun and Cole Tucker get significant playing time moving forward, the team will be unwatchable.

Angels fans just aren't allowed to have nice things.

To be fair, he is approaching his late 20s.  Still don’t get relying on a guy who has been terrible since the beginning of 2023.

If Moreno allows the true rebuild to proceed and trade off enough of the remaining players with just 1-2 years left to FA after 2024, like he should have with Ohtani after 2022.
It’s been like forever since they did a true rebuild.    This is a partial one at this point.
True rebuilds worked for Houston and Baltimore.   Of course, they had good scouting and development.

Just keep singing that same tune and ignore how most of the team were mercenaries the last five years. This is what homegrown young talent looks like, for every team. Then they become last year's Rangers or the Astros after their 7 year rebuild. 

Thanks, Tom, for posting this. Lost in all of griping is this young crew is learning to play together as a team and not a bunch of individuals making individual plays. This is, as you say, what a rebuild looks like. I'm not enjoying the losing but definitely enjoy watching the kids play and learn. 

This team is not undisciplined, it is inexperienced.  Key young players here with little minor league experience.  They are trying to learn on the go, and the coaching staff is appropriate for the job.  I think many of you are used to seeing free agents filter in to the team over the years.  Unfortunately many of those guys failed.  We have not even finished the first month of a six month season.  Many of you wanted to rebuild, this is what happens as you do so.  Mistakes are going to happen.

Let me add...
I try to find the humor in things.  There's lots to work with here.  The Angels are a target rich environment for humor.  I think poking fun at the state of things is more enjoyable than just out and out griping about it... but everyone is different.

We all know the organization is broken.  Most of us want Arte to sell. 
Personally, I don't need a bunch of reminders about how much the team sucks.  I see it.  We all see it.  I just don't obsess about it.  I don't even whine (much) about it. 
It's all out of our control and despite what people like mmc want, I am still going to watch because I like baseball. I'm just not consumed by it.  It's an option of things to do each day.  That's all.  It's a pastime. 
There are just bigger things to worry about or get angry about. 
I'm not happy that the team sucks, but again since it's out of my control - I don't think about it too much. And the last thing I want to do is sit around and complain about it with a bunch of other people. 
I get it.  Some people are outraged. They have a right to be.  That's just not me.  It's all about perspective.

Most baseball teams “lose” fans when they suck. Then when they’re good again, they come back. 

I like Wash, but he can save the "Rah-Rah" chatter for his players.
When his team routinely falls behind early and often, I get bored. I can find other things to do.
I like watching the young guys develop, but some of these games are about as entertaining as a root canal.

I kinda hope we lose some fans.  At the end of the day this is what a rebuild looks and feels like.  

"We're going to be about it."
Well... we'd rather watch a winner than listen to one.

Some odd phrasing in a few places here.  First, he can fuck right off for even hinting that any Angels fans are "front runners."  We've got a decade of losing and we're still here for some dumb reason.
Also, I think it's kind of funny that he just outright says, "I know we may not have the best personnel in the world."  Lol.
 

I 100% agree with this and it still bums me out that we didn't trade him ahead of last season or at the very least the trade deadline. 
Heard that the Dodgers were offering Michael Busch and Pepiot at the deadline. Huge swing and miss by Perry and Arte. 

I also am enjoying watching some young players.  But I am also simultaneously more impatient with losing than ever.
So it is enjoyable to have some interesting players to follow and yet more tortuous than ever at the same time because I just hate the losing.
