I do hate the name LA Angels but unfortunately we're stuck with it. 
I don't have a say but if I did it would be the California Angels.

I don’t really care what the owner, espn, the jersey, online, etc. says - they are the ‘California Angels’ to me.  

Nice callout (Philippe's, bay cities)! you gota be a LA local to know those places. 

Watching C-Rod pitch reminds me of K-Rod. 
At first I didn't like the move of having him in the pen to open the season but the more I thought about, the more I liked it. 
He could have meaningful impact on multiple games in a given week. 
As Halo fans we haven't really had dominant starter since what, the days of Chuck Finley or further back Nolan Ryan. 
But we have had Dominant closers like K-Rod, Bryan Harvey and of course my favorite Percival. 
I could see Chris Rodrigues having that type of impact, he has that type of stuff to do it.
I'm actually excited to watch how this unfolds.     
And the strategy of having a not great but solid starting pitching to go along with a very strong bullpen could be the way we have a great season. 
We have more than enough hitting to win, it's how we pitch that's going to determine our fate.    

I'd like to thinks so, fingers crossed.

That's the answer every Angel fan is well acquainted with. 

My answer was make the playoffs but it really depends on the way the season progresses. If players up their game and develop, especially the pitchers, then some satisfaction can be achieved. A good year from Trout and Ohtani will help. Maybe some minor leaguers show some success in the majors would also help.

As long as I am entertained then I'll call it a success. The last few years have not been entertaining. 

I'd say that if the team is playing meaningful baseball through September, that would be pretty successful - given the last five years. It would mean that the Angels were legit contenders for most, if not all of the year. Again, we haven't really had that since 2014 (if memory serves).

I'd like to not regret purchasing my MLB.TV year-long subscription in mid-May.

This. A combination of an above .500 record AND playing meaningful games in September.

Meaningful baseball in September would be progress. Getting past the wild-card game and into the ALDS would be success. 

I noticed that too and appreciate Sutton for doing that. 
I'm happy to have him back, wish he'd work the radio booth when Vasgersian is on the TV broadcast. 

If Sinclair soon to rebranded as Bally Sports offers consumers the option to purchase and stream directly from them, sign me up.  
It's way overdue at this point.  

I didn’t think the broadcast was bad. I’m not down on Sutton at all. He needs to get a few games under his belt. 
 
On Ward yes, completely agree we need him on team. They need to figure how to work that out. 

I'm with you on this. Loved that style of Baseball the cardinal teams played under Herzog and would love to see baseball played like that today.
That's why I appreciate Fletcher so much he brings back some of that style that's been lost in todays game.
Pretty sad that it's unique to see a player like him in todays game.  

You could cancel Frontier for TV and just keep their internet (Great internet as long as it's fios and not DSL). You could then sign up for AT&T tv (Formally Direct tv Now). 
AT&T TV is the only streaming service I'm aware of that carries FSW soon to be rebranded as Bally's sports West.
Cost I believe is $85.00 a month. 
Or yes get MLB TV and watch it on demand (Tape delayed), not ideal.  
Not great options, I know. I'm in the same boat. 

Loved hearing Sutton on todays broadcast.

Really stocked to have Daron Sutton back with the Halos it would only be better if he could do the Radio PBP whenever he wasn't on the TV PBP. 

Naming Bundy the opening day starter was the right choice, wonder how Maddon lines up the rest of the rotation...... 

Outstanding! Really happy with both these guys coming on board. What a Great Day for Halo Nation!
Really hope Sutton does some Radio Play by Play when he's not doing Television Play by Play.
