I'm exactly the same age as Nick was as he was born in August of 86 and I was born in September of 86 so this one always hits close to home for me. I remember being 22 as he was and being in disbelief his life was over already. Can't believe it's already been 15 years. Win one for Adenhart tonight Angels as he looks down from above!

So now that Ohtani is gone the new narrative today from the baseball and sports world is "Mike Trout begged the FO to sign free agents and they lost 11-3" I mean forget that signing overpriced free agents is how the Angels got in a hole in the first place but oh well. This "Trout begged them to sign free agents and they didn't" is going to be the suckerpunch from the baseball world all year long. It never ends.

Anyone else watching MLB Network's 30 clubs Angels edition right now? I know hope springs eternal in spring training but really like Washington's energy when being interviewed. Also being interviewed have been Detmers, Schanuel and O'Hoppe. Chris Young (our former outfielder for a short time) is predicting 80 wins. I'm hoping for more than 80 obviously but kind of fun to watch and has me excited for the season.

Not Angels ST related but random ST venting post ahead. Tried to watch the Dodgers ST game working from home and just had to turn it off. ESPN is trying to make a record of how many times they say "Ohtani" as that appears to be all they care about with the Dodgers. He's not even playing and they've probably mentioned him hundreds of times through just the first 3 innings. The Dodgers will be absolutely unwatchable on any national broadcast this year. Not even the joy of the 1st ST game can make me overlook it, as I've been watching NCAA baseball since last Friday anyway.

Small world! I'm off I-25 and 120th so a little ways away from Westminster High but that's where I reside. Yeah the Angels and Broncos to me are both eerie with how they are stuck in huge ruts with a playoff drought that's about equal in length for both teams. As bleak as things may seem for the Angels I wouldn't be surprised if they make the playoffs before the Broncos do. But yes I'm thankful the Avs give us something to look forward to the last 7 or 8 years. They aren't perfect this year by any means but they should hopefully make a nice playoff run.

When was baseball best for you?
AvsBroncosAngels05 replied to Dtwncbad's topic in LA Angels | MLB Daily
I was born in 1986 so my catalog of memories isn't as extensive as the rest of you fine folks but I really enjoyed the early 2000's. The Angels championship team of course speaks for itself and that's when I really got into baseball. I have very fond memories of 2014 as well between the Angels division title, flying out to Anaheim and getting to witness the 19 inning marathon game against the Red Sox in person. And yes I stayed for the whole thing and I'll definitely never forget it. I actually redid the scorebook for that game last night as something to do. That was a really wild game. 2014 was also the last season before Manfred took over so that was a good year for me as a baseball fan in that regard too. Not like Selig was a saint but with Selig at least I felt like the game year by year was going to be the same on the field. I'm worried what changes are ahead the rest of Manfred's tenure.
