18 months since I stepped into the stadium.  Feels awesome tonight guys.  Let’s break the fucking opening day losing streak tonight.  By the way, concession stands are NOT opened.

catch a homer for me!

It almost feels wrong getting Fletcher at this price, I hope he doesn't read this forum...

I feel like any big highly expensive contracts will hurt us, even on the pitching end.  If we can refrain from overpaying FAs and focus on players who do well for us and want to win for us we won't even have to worry about the luxury tax.  We won't have to spend that much to begin with.  Teams like the A's and Rays prove this year in and out.  But we'll actually reward our best players by actually paying them and keeping them around.

Even if somehow the league's pitchers figure him out, he's still a viable defensive player and makes high contact.  He's also a great clubhouse personality and improves team chemistry.  The league also lacks scrappy players like this, they have an advantage over the stubborn two-outcome players that riddle the league today.  

I still can't believe we wasted a 1st round pick on Matt Thaiss, we could have another solid pitcher in our rotation by now.  But he will likely be a perpetual minor leaguer.

These feel like jinx threads with these silly titles, just imo.  We already had a great Ohtani thread going recently.

"The Angels need to get to the ALDS"

Getting to the ALDS and not wining a single game would be more upsetting than not making the ALDS at all, so I didn't choose that option (or any for that matter).

A missing option I would have chose, 'Win at least 1 playoff game" for me to consider this a successful improvement for the franchise.  Making the playoffs again and not winning a game would be worse than not making it considering we got swept the last time and also considering the drought in relation to the payroll and having a super star.

this team looks so much better than previous years, got that calm never give up mentality, lots of competition for few positions a perfect storm I'm telling you, I'm excited forgive me lol

These GMs work for themselves too, not just the team they're GMing for. Idk I'll choose to believe what I believe.

No, that isn’t it. 

What GM doesn't want to look good in the show? I'm sure something bigger is behind the why, but optics could be what tipped the scale.

Why?

Optics, it makes Minasian look brilliant and/or the Reds foolish.

So... we got Raisel Iglesias for Leo Rivas, nice lol!

From his reaction it looked liked he'd never done that before.

That would be a good thing though, it means he's reaching uncharted territory and actually improving
