Chuck

While true, he's also had two SB's taken away from him. Thanks, MLB.

No, I'm not saying he should have gone public. Like I said, maybe he did go behind the scenes. He just comes across as a yes man and doesn't push back much on Arte from what I understand. Just frustrating overall. The moves he's made haven't really worked out, but it's the moves he didn't make that have me mostly scratching my head. Would have been great to have brought back Reynaldo Lopez as a starter like the Braves did after signing him, and Jordan Hicks. When Lorenzen and Montgomery's price went down, why not sign one of them? They really thought that Sandoval, Canning, Silseth, Detmers and Anderson was a good rotation? I mean thank God Anderson has performed much better, and Detmers has looked good. But holy hell that was a rotation of question marks going into the season. Amed Rosario who is killing it offensively can play 2B, SS and OF. Would have been another cheap signing and addition to bolster our depth.

I think that's a fair assessment of this topic. I'll just say this. The Angels ownership and front office is a complete mess.

And Perry is the GM so he should be putting up some type of fight. Maybe he did? Who knows. Honestly, I think he's a terrible GM.

Sorry but while Arte takes most of the blame, there needs to be push back from the GM on the team's future success. So he gets part of the blame.

and my all-time favorite, Andrew Velazquez.

I could see Jason Martin recalled to replace Hicks if he doesn't start contributing soon.

I 100% agree with this and it still bums me out that we didn't trade him ahead of last season or at the very least the trade deadline. Heard that the Dodgers were offering Michael Busch and Pepiot at the deadline. Huge swing and miss by Perry and Arte.

This is true.

I disagree. I'm actually digging watching the Halos more this season than the past few years. While the 90's sucked in the standings outside of '95, it was great to see Salmon, GA, Edmonds, Erstad, Glaus, Percy, etc. with some of the veterans like Chili Davis, Hudler, Finley, Abbott, Langston. Seeing those younger guys get the time in and do well all led up to a core that ultimately saw them win a championship together.

He looks better at the plate and defensively, but he needs to pull his head out of his ass on the basepaths still.

This could either be really good or really bad I feel.

I'll let the graphic designer know. Thank you for your feedback.

Yeah I do too if I'm being honest. I think I'll just use these for X only. If I had the time I would put their stats in too. Maybe for big games or series openers down the road.

New lineup graphic. Thoughts?

Thank you for doing these despite the lackluster play, @jsnpritchett. I've been traveling a bunch for work. Spent some time at the Chick-Fil-A campus in Atlanta. Beautiful. Great people that work there.

If you cannot put together a few sentences in a thread that is at least high school equivalent, it's going to get locked, hidden or deleted. Try harder, @HaloRed

From Baseball America this morning: Caden Dana, RHP, Angels: Dana was sent straight to Double-A to start the season, which was a very aggressive push for a 20-year-old who came into the season with just 14 full-season starts. So far, he’s had no issues with Double-A hitters. Dana threw seven scoreless innings against Pensacola on Sunday. He allowed two hits and one walk while striking out eight. Dana is now 1-1, 1.87 with 19 strikeouts, three walks and only eight hits allowed in 18.1 innings.

Anyone that is celebrating this or is in the I told you so group here is a complete douchebag and should self ban themselves

Road Trip to Cincy. Go Halos!

I'm driving up tomorrow. They better win. Assholes.
