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.

can we just fire Washington now...the incompetence is embarrassing the team and the fans !

I really thought the Angels would play at least 10 games before some people started overreacting. 

I think they should start with a large photo of Ohtani on the big screen at home, and every time they hit a home run the picture should get a little smaller until it disappears.

I would rather put Soriano in the rotation than sign Bauer.  Find another long reliever from within.

I hope it's nothing. It's time to stop glorifying the Home Run. I'd much rather have the batter hit the ball to the right side with less than 2 outs and a runner on 2B, 80% of the time rather than swing for the fences and hit a Home Run 5% of the time, while striking out 30% of the time.

At least 8-12.
No more than 2 trips to the injured list to the opening 26 man roster.
Starters averaging 5.0 innings.
No more than 3 blown saves.
Trout hitting at least .270 with 3 homers and 10 RBI's.
No scandals.
Rendon hitting at least .250 with 7 RBI's.  OBP exceeding .325.
 
(You guys do realize that only 6 of the first 20 games are at home, right?  This month is totally brutal.)

I approve. 

Grading anyone or anything through one game is stupid as shit, though that's par for the course with you.  Phil isn't coming back so if you're going to be terminally asshurt about the managerial change all season the only thing you're going to accomplish is making an ass of yourself

This was a fun thread.  And I was worried it would be too plane.

I just realized that in years past I was only really interested in wins and losses. 
This year, I'm legitimately interested in watching a bunch of guys on the team play.  I also like Ron and haven't liked either of our last two managers.  
And I'm sorta over the whole Ohtani thing.  
I'm ready to see a team that's decent to good at pretty much all positions.  
Going back ten years, I would say that I enjoyed watching Trout and Ohtani of course, but outside of that there were very few.  Howie, Richards, Shoemaker, Simmons and that's about it.  
This year I will want to see Neto, O'Hoppe, Schanuel, Rengifo, Trout, Ward, Sandoval, Detmers, Soriano, Drury, Canning, and a few others.  
They might not win enough to make the playoffs, but I like this team.  

Can we just have fun? I'm not telling people how to "fan" or whatever, but constant negativity is getting quite old and tired. Yes, Arte sucks and needs to sell the team. But how about we just enjoy some Angels baseball? I see probably more negativity on social media than I do here. However, it's just growing tiresome. 

if you're losing $4.5 mil in gambling, maybe that's not the best use of your time.
 
of course, that's like a tuesday afternoon for golfer john daly.

This is unbelievable.  I refuse to believe to that Ippei didn't know that betting/sports betting through his bookie is illegal.  He moved to the US during elementary school and graduated from Diamond Bar High School and UC Riverside, so he's been in the US for a long time.  I definitely believe Ippei ran up a gambling debt in the millions and asked Shohei to help pay for it.  Shohei agreed to do it, but once his legal team/representatives found out that the bets Ippei did were being investigated by the FBI, they're like nope get Shohei the fuck away from Ippei and let us handle it. 
 
FWIW, baseball players can bet, but definitely not on baseball and not through illegal methods or offshore sites. 
 
EDIT: His education is now a lie as UCR reports he never attended or graduated from there.  His employment with the Red Sox was a lie as well.  Holy smokes, who is this guy?
