I really feel like the Dombrowski method will decapitate this franchise for a decade, the real and only growth we have really seen has come from within, mainly home grown but some re-calibrated talent from other teams.  Eppler doesn't deserve to lose his job because of the major improvements the team has made since the early struggles, the sample size is not large enough to call him a failure over 162 games.  We basically get a freebie, shortened season that was mostly forgettable and an extra off-season to re-calibrate the team once again.

We might have one of the best lineups in baseball next season lol.  If Ohtani and Upton were pedestrian we would be at the top this season.

Nice having a catcher who can hit consistently

.....racist?

He drew two walks

Is Trout a partial success product from having bad hitters around him for so long?  He seems less significant in this lineup than any before.

Walsh is the best hitter on the team, anyone still argue with that?

MY DUDE

A real carousel ride this inning

Ohtani has new eyes, special eyes, bigly eyes.

Mike Out

Trout skus Rendon skus Walsh skus

Teheran will be a solid 3 for another team next year like the M's, we have a horrifying track record with obtaining pitchers from other teams

This might be Teheran's last start as an MLB pitcher... I wonder if he's considered the possibility...

I believe his agent and other people already let him know the deal

We need lefty bats, Didi did throw shade at us when the Yanks rocked us at home.  Idk, it seems like we owe Simmons an extension.

Let's please not get our hopes up... too high... we had many opportunities this season and threw them away.

I knew these boys still had some Buttercup left in them!  Draft is looking worse for us, good news is baseball drafts are a crap shoot but having at least a top 10 spot guarantees decent farm buildup.  Besides, what's a draft going to do for Trout and the Angels of 2021-22?  Absolutely very little.

Ohtani looking like a comeback player candidate next season.  Apparently he still feels good about the two way thing, his pitching ability is still there.  Not many teams would say no to that.

Mad respect to Heaney keeping his cool and getting a QS after that early shelling.  Major growing moment imo, old Heaney would have nuked us.

Fletcher good!

Stassi was right to be mad that was blatant and the ump knew it was a ball

Heaney is what he is. He's not a frontline starter and never will be. But from the looks of this year he's a solid 3/4 guy.

Yes, we still desperately need pitching.

Yeah we do need just one more good arm not the best arm but a reliable arm like Barria, who has earned a spot in the rotation next year imo.

Walsh looks elite, maybe I'm seeing too much into it but he looks good even when he gets out, that was a nice battle there with one of the top pitchers in baseball.

Just now, DMVol said:

I thought with Upton out, Maddon might play Adell in the OF....but I guess he wants to give Ohtani some AB’s and he wants to keep Ward in the lineup....

Ohtani is twice the hitter as Adell currently

Ohtani needed the rest, off Lynn too.  Gooooood sign.

I'm so done with Heaney. Just never will pan out. Flat fastball, zero movement. After Bundy we have nothing. 

Did Barria not fool the Rangers last night?  I'm tired of people not giving credit to pitchers who earn it, people are so easily offended.

Pretty much any MLB team fits his description, his agent told him not to be too specific about anything.
