Are you asking for Perry?

100% @Lou. That's Harry Caray's grandson, son of the Braves play by play announcer Skip Caray. 

I interviewed him last weekend. He's a great guy. I told him we'd love for him to be our next PBP announcer.

It’s probably more entertaining to announce Trash Panda games than Angel games.

There isn't much talent at AAA.

Or on the major league team. Depth on the Angels is measured by a micrometer.

Adell with another throw, again no cut off man, this time 20 feet wide of the plate. Thaiss with another ball that gets by him on a throw to the plate. Then a clown throw to 1st by Weiss.

3 runs score.

Oh, and this was all on a base hit to left field with the bases loaded, mind you.

What an absolute joke.

Need to be patient. He has only been playing in the major leagues for a year. It’s not like you learn everything about fundamental baseball before playing at this level when playing for the Angels.

I don't understand why Rob Z (not gonna try to spell his last name) is in the majors and getting innings over young guys in AAA on the 40-man roster like Warren, Ortega, Peguero, etc.

Same thing with Zack Weiss.

 

Like, what are we doing here?

Minasian thinking again.

I'm incertain about that.

Minasian not bringing back Molina to work with the catchers this season was really a stupid decision. 

Is Tepera's new pitch called a meatball?

The bullpen problem is probably not totally found on the field but more likely in the front office.

I would find great joy if Judge signed with the Giants in the off season. The Yankee butt hurt would be epic.

i'd like to have a closer that's good enough for us to have this kind of experience when he's brought into a game.

 

This Angel's bullpen seems more like a kazoo-type entrance:

I wonder if Chris Rodriguez will become a bullpen option?

Using Loup and Tepera in high leverage situations is simply asking for trouble.  Improved scouting and better game plans might help limit the negative impact of Loup and Tepera. 

He should turn back time and play for the Cardinals next season. 

With Rengifo and Soto both being significant contributors today, it moved.....a little.

football question: If you block an extra point and you run it back for a TD?

I believe that is ruled as icing.

nd Nevin may be listening too much to Montgomery and the Stats people. There’s been some terrible managing and I woulD not be surprised if the Angels cleaned the entire slate. Perry and Phil… everyone. Bye.

I would be more than OK with this idea.

Might be one of the best Sunday lineups this year.

Typically MVP is for position players and Cy Young is for pitchers.

 

However, there are examples of pitchers winning the MVP, which leads me to the issue about how MLB recognizes a player who excels in both, but does not dominate enough to be the clear winner of either award?

Judge is having a great year, but it is Ohtani's stats that will be permanently referenced for years to come.  I  think it will be embarrassing for MLB when Ohtani's season stats are continually referenced with the caveat that he didn't win either the MVP or Cy Young.

Ohtani has created a problem for MLB which would be immediately remedied if he played for a higher profile team like the Dodgers, Yankees or Red Sox.

I don't understand how a player can be a contender for both MVP and Cy Young awards and not win either.  How does that even work?  It doesn't matter what the player's team does, it is an individual award based on how that individual competes against everyone else in the league?

And if Rengifo is injured, who takes his place for the 9th?

Slugger

Uhmmm, hey Phil, what the hell are you doing with Loup?

Glad to see hitters 5-9 back to being automatic outs.

Minasian successfully built the worst roster possible. Job well done.

GO ANGELS!!!

GO OHTANI!!!

Mariners broadcaster Dave Sims: "I wouldn't bet on Ohtani staying with the Angels."

 

Hard to argue against it.
