It's good, we know exactly what we are getting.

Same old crap.  Different day.
Mike Trout is happy in Anaheim.  At least publicly. 
The Angels suck. 
Arte sucks.
Rosenthal sucks
AW rocks.
Next...

Does this make you happy? Because you've spent a lot of time ranting about the same things for the last 3 weeks. 

I'm watching, always interesting to see how a team attacks unforeseen problems.  Trout as of last night was something like 3-24 with runners in scoring position.  Someone might get hot and do much better than that.  Looking at the Phillies lineup my expectation for success are pretty low, but winning would be more glorious than ever.  Someone mentioned earlier that Marisnak was injured at AAA, what's his problem?

He hurt his knees begging Arte to add players to the roster. 

I kinda hope we lose some fans.  At the end of the day this is what a rebuild looks and feels like.  

This team is not undisciplined, it is inexperienced.  Key young players here with little minor league experience.  They are trying to learn on the go, and the coaching staff is appropriate for the job.  I think many of you are used to seeing free agents filter in to the team over the years.  Unfortunately many of those guys failed.  We have not even finished the first month of a six month season.  Many of you wanted to rebuild, this is what happens as you do so.  Mistakes are going to happen.

We all know the organization is broken.  Most of us want Arte to sell. 
Personally, I don't need a bunch of reminders about how much the team sucks.  I see it.  We all see it.  I just don't obsess about it.  I don't even whine (much) about it. 
It's all out of our control and despite what people like mmc want, I am still going to watch because I like baseball. I'm just not consumed by it.  It's an option of things to do each day.  That's all.  It's a pastime. 
There are just bigger things to worry about or get angry about. 
I'm not happy that the team sucks, but again since it's out of my control - I don't think about it too much. And the last thing I want to do is sit around and complain about it with a bunch of other people. 
I get it.  Some people are outraged. They have a right to be.  That's just not me.  It's all about perspective.

THIS IS THE REBUILD, YOU IDIOTS!

Thanks, Tom, for posting this. Lost in all of griping is this young crew is learning to play together as a team and not a bunch of individuals making individual plays. This is, as you say, what a rebuild looks like. I'm not enjoying the losing but definitely enjoy watching the kids play and learn. 

Just keep singing that same tune and ignore how most of the team were mercenaries the last five years. This is what homegrown young talent looks like, for every team. Then they become last year's Rangers or the Astros after their 7 year rebuild.

Let him run run run.
I love the aggressive baserunning.   It eventually will unnerve the opposing pitchers and fielders.
Take full advantage of the two limit per batter throws to 1B.
It beats any day giving up an out to sac bunt the runner over.

Thaiss is horrible... eom... walk or not!

Mostly a solid 4 innings, with pitch count up to 72
Keep him in Silseth’s spot until he’s healthy.

I think Pomeranz signed with the Dodgers.  It was a minor league deal, and I think he is in Oklahoma City.

Another overreaction.

Seriously. 
 
if the Angels get through the season and a healthy Jo Adell has been on the bench the whole time that would mean everyone else is healthy and performing well, which would be a problem the Angels haven’t had lately. 

The last thing I’m worried about is getting guys playing time.
If Adell is healthy the entire season and only has 200 PAs or whatever at season end, then we can talk.
Guys will get injured or struggle, and everyone will get plenty of playing time.
