    eligrba reacted to Warfarin in Lessons Learned from the 2022 Los Angeles Angels Bullpen: Leads gained and lost   
    While I definitely agree with you, it feels like they've been pretty solid this past month or so.  We can certainly use some pen upgrades, but perhaps they are turning the corner now as a unit?
    There are some pretty good looking arms in AA as well, so maybe there is some room for optimism.  What I hope Minasian will do is what some of the other top GMs in the game do - find undervalued relievers and make them good.  
    I think @Jeff Fletcher mentioned it in another thread too, but something that would help our pen a lot is actually a better offense.  Our pen has had to hold the slimmest of leads for long stretches of time, simply because our offense doesn't score.

    O'Neal is struggling tonight.
    In first inning said there were 2 runs, but meant 2 outs, or 2 strikes since the score was 0 - 0.
    Soto pops out for second out of the inning, but O'Neal says it is the first out.

    How about as O’Neal’s replacement?

    First career Major League at bat and O'Hoppe gets a line drive base hit up the middle. You love to see it!

    I still remember this scene from Be My Valentine, Charlie Brown.  "You want me to go pound the erasers?  Yes, Miss Othmar, I'd be glad to!"  I don't know why, but that still makes me laugh.

    eligrba reacted to stormngt in The math behind the need for depth   
    1.  They will not give up on Walsh yet.  He was too good last year and this year in April and May.  They should find a platoon partner who could play multiple positions.
    2.  Unless you are the Dodgers, Yankees, or Mets can't pay premium players unless you have young, cheap players to fill out the rest of the roster.  We have Trout, Ohtani, Rendon, and most likely a starting pitcher with premium contracts.  That means the Angels are not going to sign a middle infielder with Fletcher, Rengifo,  and now Soto producing like they are. 
    3.  Rendon can't can't be relied upon to be healthy but he will be marked in as starting 3B.
    4.  They are not giving up on Adell
    What they really need is vertical players that can produce offensively and play multiple positions.
    *sign a starting Outfeilder who can play both LF and RF.  Have Walsh play RF and platoon 1B with Walsh.
    *sign a middle infielder who can hit and either Fletcher or Rengifo could back up 3b in case Rendon goes down again
    *Thaiss might be an option because he can plY 3b, 1b, and has shown to be a competent back up C.  However, could the Angels rusk another bad offensive year from Stassi?
    Off season needs:
    1. Two players who help offensively.   One needs to play infield the other needs to play outfield 
    2. Starting pitcher
    3. Bullpen

    Tom Rinaldi is currently releasing episodes chronicling the Lyman Bostock story.  For those who are old enough to remember that horrific night when he was murdered, the podcast does a great job at telling the story of Lyman Bostock.  I remember him as a great player who chose to sign with the Angels and a man with incredible integrity.  His was a life well lived and I hope the Angels someday remember and honor him.  Link to the podcast below:

    Minasian needs to somehow reduce the dramatic difference in performance when bench players fill in for injured players. I’m more worried about the overall roster than about the starters.
