I like the guy, but it's time for him to retire.  Too bad we didn't have the younger version of Suzuki.  I still think he would make an outstanding catching coach.

Ok, who else assumed a guy named Lee Thomas was black?

Black guys don't have two first names, they are smarter than that.  Not only was Lee Thomas a great player, but how many players actually became a Major League GM, plus win a league championship as a GM?  RIP Lee!

Closer Jimmy crushed the Yankee hopeful.  See you next year Stinkees.

If this is Suzuki's last season as a player, it would be nice to have him as a catching coach next season.  The guy has a wealth of experience, he just can't execute it as well as he used to when younger.  Catchers like Thaiss  and OHoppe could use the help.

That is the most bizarre stat I have seen. How are we as bad as we are? Lmao. 

When this season ends it will be interesting to analyze what went wrong, and what can we do to correct it.  As of now, I think the biggest thing in a nutshell was focusing entirely on pitching, and not balancing it out with depth on offense.  It was like an overcorrection for what we were seeing in the past few seasons.  We now have pitching, and it looks very promising for the next few years if we can keep Ohtani, and add a top tier starte,r plus tweek the bullpen a little.  Now we just have to breathe some life into the offense, and bolster it with better depth to withstand inevitable injuries.

There are currently only 186 billionaires in California (614 in the total USA), which has the highest number of any state by far in the U.S..  There are not going to be that many single ownership folks to invest that heavily in baseball.  I think we will likely get an ownership group, and it will be tough to predict what's best to do about the Shohei's situation.  I would love for Arte to step in and do whatever it takes to sign him, and then let the new owner deal with it from there.  

I'm glad our offense is waking up some and the pitching is doing great, and that Trout is back.  We will get a couple of more cracks at Jerry's boys.

Nice couple,of wins!
 

my dog appreciates good baseball. 

My dog loves shutouts, but eventually gets bored and falls asleep.  However if she could smell what you are feeding your dog she would wake up real fast!

That was a GREAT game, well done Angels!

It only took him 5 1/2 months to go on a hot streak.

The big question is when he regresses can he keep from totally tanking.

Baseball is such a crazy game. The Blue Jays are coming off a three-game sweep of the Red Sox and currently hold a wild card berth, yet get blown out by the lowly Angels.

And hey: After tonight's game, Adell is at 0.0 WAR on the year.

It's all up from here for Adel, his goal should be to finish at 1.5 WAR.

That was a great play by Adel!

It will be a partnership, and that's a good thing.  It allows for some diversity of opinion.

as i said in another post, this is something that i get to do with my wife and daughter, so we'll watch every game we can.

i'm looking forward to watching trout and ohtani, as well as detmers and sandoval.

i'd also like to see if there's someone from this band of misfits that breaks out and earns a job for next year.

My wife and I like watching this together, it's a regular thing at our house.  We only miss 15-20 games per year, mainly because of travel if we are somewhere we can't tune in. The season is like reading a book, not all books end well, but the story lines are usually always good.

Perry will p3obably shave his head into a Mohawk to fix the struggles

 

He better hope he didn't sport a Mohawk today, the previous manager did that and got fired the next day.

Don't know if you guys noticed, Texas has cleaned their house.  They fired longtime exec John Daniels today. Texas is in their 6th consecutive losing season, and are saddled with very large contracts to Seager and Semien for many years.  Welcome to the Bummer Club Rangers.  Arte is probably watching that one for ideas, and Minasian is probably hiding under his desk.

Youtube exclusive sucks!

Never fear Toussaint is in the building, let the Mariner's heads roll.

So far during this series, the 5-9 hitters are 3-41 with 23 strikeouts.

This should help:

Any word on Adell’s status?

Moniac and Adel need new hands, fingers and thumbs.

Because he can't play the outfield 

I disagree, I think he is showing improvement in the outfield, and he does have a good arm.

Probably after Bachman because I think there’s a much better chance Bachman will be a starter than Joyce, although they both could end up as relievers. I don’t know anything about Guzman which is why he isn’t on my list. 

There is also Vera and Paris, couple of more shortstops, they seem like light hitters.  Might be trade bait.  I hope we get to see some of these guys in September, just for a look anyway.

When do we get Tony Chevrolet?

I'll say this, he totally surprised me.  Please, keep this up Regifo.  It gives me hope for Adel as well, could be on the same improvement curve.
