  1. I think Detmers has the best chance to be a sleeper for this team. The pure stuff is there and now just has to put it together with the experience he has gotten. I really think Adell is going to break out this season. Not maybe like a superstar season but one where he is at least an average player. I just really like the reports of how hard he hard he works and just feel like everything comes together.
  2. The interesting part is that if I recall right, his first injury was some type of sprain/strain. Then he got drilled by a fastball in the wrist. Third injury was fouling a ball off his tibia causing him to miss rest of the season. Not sure how much of his off season training program will help on those last two injuries.
  3. Do I want Ohtani to get hurt, no. But I will root for him just like I do all the other Dodgers, hoping they all suck!!
  4. I think the talk of Schanuel’s lack of power is just a little premature. The guy is literally just learning hit as a professional barely two months after being drafted. I would definitely give him the benefit of the doubt after showing he did hit for power in college. The bats in college do have some limits to their exit velocity, so they are not completely different from wood bats when barreled up. I think with the fact he has come up and not completely stuck it up means he has some serious bat ball skills, which will translate into more power. Plus, the guy is only 21 years old, and still is a few years from physically maturing. Get him some professional training and professional hitting instruction, should do wonders for him.
  5. The injury that Trout suffered was a piece of the hamate bone was fractured called the hook of the hamate. The surgery took out the piece but the rest of the bone is intact. There is no further risk of injury once he returns.
  6. I unfortunately was at the game and it was just embarrassing. Although, I did get a chance to talk with Kyren Paris’ father before the game. He was obviously very proud of his son and was a very nice guy and am really pulling for Paris to do well
  7. Not sure if anyone saw this but last night quite a few of our new draft picks made their debuts in the ACL including our 1st rounder who went 2-3.
  8. I don’t have any problem being disappointed in his play, suspensions and all the rest but this injury is like the last injury getting hit on the wrist by a fastball, bad luck and part of baseball
  9. I know everyone needs someone to complain about and Pujols isn’t here anymore but to complain that Rendon is not tough enough is just plain ridiculous. It would be like having someone hit you in the tibia with a sledgehammer. Remember the same thing happened to LaStella and broke his tibia. It’s just not a “bruise”.
  10. I think the Angels take one of the college pitchers not named Skenes if they are still there. One thing we know about Perry is that he likes to stockpile pitching as currency and we all know we can’t have enough pitching.
  11. We are definitely going through a rough patch but I feel like the starting pitchers are getting better the last times through with a few awful innings. If they can maintain their stuff better through their starts then we can be in the playoff hunt and quite possibly make the playoffs. I know, it’s an optimistic view but I like that better than being too realistic
  12. The Rangers are just 5-29 with RISP the first two games after hitting above .350 at home which obviously is not sustainable. Let’s hope Detmers can continue the string of good pitching.
  13. I grew up in Bakersfield and the Dodgers had their single A team there. I grew up watching the Angels because of my dad and all my friends were Dodgers fans. In the 70s and early 80s, the Dodgers were good and the Angels not so much. My friends gave me a lot of grief about the Angels so I grew up hating the Dodgers!! And still have two favorite teams, the Angels and whoever the Dodgers are playing.
  14. It’s not my favorite rule but if the Angels could actually be better playing extra inning games it would make me feel better about the rule
  15. I was surprised to see Calabrese so high though he did have a good second half. And Jackson was not on the list.
