I'm glad the Angels can get the league minimum back from the Dodgers. I wish nothing but the best for Pujols. I'm thankful the Angels can move on. More playing time for Walsh and Ohtani, both of which are far more exciting players now than Pujols.

I looked for this and couldn't find it. This is my winner.

Altuve moved his little clicker box.

I want to see Trout pitch before I cast a judgement.

Thanks, Stradling. I'm seriously getting old [and Blarg, if you google "Jose Rojas" you will get baseball reference giving you a link to Franklin Barreto]. BTW, you helped me look again and find this article: https://www.latimes.com/sports/angels/story/2021-04-08/jose-rojas-tale-how-orange-county-kid-made-angels-roster I like his story.

Someone help me out. When Franklin Jose Barreto Rojas arrived to the Angels, wasn't he referred to as Franklin Barreto? I understand wanting to go by Jose but my understanding is that Barreto is his paternal family name and Rojas his maternal. Therefore, his Anglicized family name should be Barreto. I seriously thought we got a new player (plus his play in spring ball was like he was a new player).

It was painful watching Buttrey against the Padres yesterday.

I'd prefer this homegrown Angel:

Lou has spoken.

"Ish" as the kids say today.

Probably the cheapest plan and the one Arte will endorse. BTW, I miss Scott Shields.

I don't mind Trout's arm, Stradling, but you are right he can move to left. I'm thinking of the legs and wear and tear as he ages. Since Maddon has talked about reviving the running game, I was thinking that Hamilton or Bradley, Jr. could be options instead of just focusing on RF. Trying to think of ways of improving offense.

When will it be time to move Trout to right field? Are there any good CFs out there that would move to roving outfield when the prospects come up?

Not a lunatic. You are crazy if you think you can demean someone without consequences.

Again, thanks for proving my point. Pussy, tampon wearer, girl, non man. You are a troll if you call someone a non-man but do not back it up.

Jay, you live in Idaho as I did for four years. If Cals behaved as he is to an Idahoan, you are saying that the act of getting his ass kicked would be considered the assault?

Thanks for proving my point, troll. This is exactly what Callaway did.

Not Chad. I don't bail. So you are saying its ok to be a troll, like Cals, by calling someone a girl that uses tampons for saying that Callaway's behavior was unacceptable. However, it violates the TOS to behave just as I would if Cals said this to my face? I'm not threatening, I'm defending. If someone calls me a girl or, worse, disrespects my girl and wife, there is a consequence. I will let the moderators decide. Or Cals can man up by admitting he was wrong. Or Cals can man up and take the consequences.

Not sure the reference, Taylor.

Yes. You call out others for not being manly. Name the place and time or be the opposite of what you claim to be.

I don't bluff and I don't back down.

You mean you took the bus?

Since it looks like you all went to state schools, let me tell you what we learned at the university. It's not the joke; it's the dialectic thinking that suggests that if you don't approve of boorish behavior than you are a non-man. There is more than a chance Cals that I will prove to you who is a real man. Moderators can officiate. Set the place and time troll.
