  1. Try to enjoy the positives in life. The bullpen was not in play when you went negative but Barria was pitching a one hitter. And by the way, the bullpen pitched 2 1/3 shutout innings for the win today!
  2. Barria pitched really well but the third time through the order has always been the concern for him. 3 of his 4 hits were given up 3rd time through the order and some of the outs were hit pretty well. No strikeouts third time through the order. Hopefully Cishek will come in and get the third out.
  3. I believe MLB rules prevent Minasian from trading his owner...
  4. It's a good point but the rosters are 26 and 13 not 25 and 14. We usually carry 14 because of Ohtani but have 13 right now because of adding Thaiss as a 3rd catcher. The roster construction has definitely changed over the years as the way pitchers are used has evolved. I'd like to see MLB rosters go to 27
  5. This point is missed by many. Arte is not intellectually or emotionally well suited to do what the Cubs and Nats did this month. It's his team. What are you going to do...
  6. I agree. I don't think Minasian gives Iglesias a QO. Maybe he tries to sign him to a 2 year deal.
  7. This has been our curse the past few years with Trout, add in 2021 with Ohtani and this is what we get. We're not good enough to buy because we're on the fringes of competitiveness and still building our farm and we're not bad enough to sell and totally rebuild. We're stuck in the middle...
  8. I think if we had just DFA'd Heaney and promoted Detmers we are instantly a better team. So getting a AA pitcher, Junk, with a 1.78 ERA and a .959 WHIP and a AA reliever, Peguero, with a 1.50 ERA, a .917 WHIP and a 12.9 SO9 is all bonus. Maybe these two guys add value to the the Angels in '22.
  9. Dan O'Dowd totally got it right on the Heaney trade on MLB Network. 1. Addition through subtraction with Detmers ready to step up. He's better than Heaney. 2. Change of scenery for Heaney is good - Skaggs.
  10. I think those two are tied together. They are SO lousy they are not wanted or need others to come off the board before they are a viable option. People think Ward and Heaney have value for a contender. SMH. Iglesias and Cobb are in line behind others even if Minasian wants to deal them.
  11. I agree with this part. I think/hope Sandoval and Detmers are a non-starter for Minasian today.
  12. Pretty sure the chances of the Angels trading Reid Detmers today are less than zero.
  13. I mean sure, if it is the same prospects, Alcantara is a better choice because of years of control. But I think we would need to offer more for Alcantara than Berrios. I really don't think we should go after either one today. It feels like a sellers market with those two guys and one of the teams who has a real chance to contend will over pay today. Hearing a lot of noise about the Padres on MLB Network.
  14. If he goes today I am thinking it will be right after Kimbrel.
  15. What is the concern with Alcantara? He has three years of control and Berrios has one.
  16. Gray is going to be a free agent and I think he would be a valuable piece for contending teams. 126 ERA+
  17. Nope. Again. Schwarber has played one game at 1B for zero innings his entire career. Taylor Ward has played two games at 1B for two innings. Schwarber will be in the OF for the Red Sox and it further exemplifies the lack of value Taylor Ward has to a team competing for a championship. Schwarber adds value to the Red Sox outfield. Ward has none.
