...and one more thing.... WTF? WTF? WTF? WTF? WTF?

WTF? WTF? WTF? WTF? WTF? WTF?

...with little change in game outcomes. Looking forward to having fewer "hoping for a bounce back year" players on the roster next year.

Thanks to Scioscia, there has been and will be no Angel baseball between October and February. Scioscia is protecting Pujols because those extra games in October would be a killer on his knees and we all know how well he treats the veteran players.. I think I checked all of the boxes....Scioscia....check....Pujols....check......conspiracy theory....check

It can happen!! TEETH-Trailer

Thanks for clarifying this. Based on what I read, it sounds like Ohtani will need TJ surgery in the near future because of Richards.

I think the injury rate for Angel pitchers has stabilized.

Quick Billy, Trade 'em!!

Hopefully not good enough to be either on the 2019 Angels.

Ugh.....Sad.

I thought crack was available throughout the entire bay area.....or are you referring to the drug, crack?

Dodgers would still need a closer.

Great photos. Could you hear the players talk to each other? I can't imagine being that close to home plate...jelous.

WTF!! Where is Ward? F'n Scioscia. If was a genius he would find a way to get Ward in the lineup even though he is not on the 40 man roster.

It would be nice for Ward to do well. This season could use some positives.

Didn't Kotchman's body also fail him? Maybe I am remembering someone different but wasn't he another highly regarded prospect that experienced some health issues?

Fixed.

What constitutes a "long enough look" to adequately evaluate Ward's ability to play at this level? Most rookies that perform well at the beginning often stumble later once the league makes adjustments. The only approach that makes sense to me regarding Ward is for the Angels to bring him up when the Angels believe he is ready to play at that level both mentally and physically. There is no reason to believe that the Angels are keeping Ward in AAA for any other reason other than he is not yet ready. The team obviously needs all the help it can get at this point, and if the Angels thought Ward can help, he would already be on the 40 man roster.

Obviously, Mariner scouts are not necessary since the Mariners just swept the Astros.

Valbuena is finally gone. I will not complain about Cowart. I will not complain about Cowart. I will not complain about Cowart. I will not complain about Cowart.

As bad as Valbuena was, he may have been the best or the only free agent option for the Angels at the time. He may have represented rock bottom for the organization's options after Dipoto. I would bet that most other GMs in the same position signs Valbuena.

! Yeah....Where is Ender? Strange he has not yet posted in this thread.

Mookie Betts playing for the Red Sox-Great player having a great year. Face of MLB. Special player. Mookie Betts with any other team (except Yankees)-A player having a great year, but, is he really a great player? Time will only tell.......

That would be funny.....not clown funny, or you amuse me funny.....

So he avoided the latest Dipoto talent purge? How does he feel about the changes?
