The Ghost of Bob Starr

Yep.

Arid has more HRs than the Brewers.

ARod has more HRs than Albert, Trout, and Hamilton put together. Oops never mind.

Who the hell is making these kind of decisions?
 
crap.  So damn petty.

Angels organization has been getting a lot of great press lately.

I really dig Fletch's contributions here. It's great to have that insider feel. Maybe ESPN should follow AW's lead!

Mathis = cowbell
Always more.

When will Suzyn Waldman throw out a first pitch at an Angels game?

Rob gronkowski, roger Clemens....is wade Boggs next?

I am not a fan of the Angels website or OCR bot posts.
98% of the time the "stories" have been long discussed on AW, which is a testament that the fans here cover all the angles quite well.
I imagine a mod can pretty easily figure out what the engagement rate is for those automated posts. I would assume open rate, read rate, and engagement rates are all significantly lower than traditional posts.
The reason I see it, I like seeing what the community here has to say about a specific storyline. I don't care what an MLB.com guy says. His job is to just push content. He may not even care about, nor like the Angels.
While I like Fletch's OCR work, I really value what he says here as a poster, because he's not paid to do it here, although you could argue his job is to popularize the Angels brand in hopes of attracting new readers to the paper.
Ultimately, and I'm sure Chuck or Geoff can attest to this - the methodology is probably advertising related. If they sell more ads at a higher price because of more content, those bot posts aren't going anywhere. They also are here to stay if the metrics don't hurt those ad buys.
I might also guess that there is a slim chance that a bigger entity like the Angels and/or MLB has asked to include those stories as a way to help drive traffic to those sites.
I don't go to th Angels site for anything. Some good clickbait might get me there.
Just my guess in the big picture.

Bring in Tommy's, and replace all the crappers around the stadium.   They'll need high powered flushing capabilities.

Bring the big A back into CF. Sucks it made way for the Rams in 79. Build around it, state of the art scoreboard.
Build it on the corner of Orangewood and State College.

Let's just move back to Chavez Ravine.

Blow up the stupid rockpile and put it there.

As these are RSS feeds, you could set up a reader on your phone or computer...

So much wrong with this post.   AW really needs a dislike button.

Any chance alcohol played a role in this post?

Did the 14-year old tank say this too, or has age played a role in this sentiment?     For the record, I agree 100%  12yo-fun day in the sun, 22/32-let's be a shirtless douche and slam down 15 beers.  42-SHADE!!!!

With all the Taco Bell and In n Out you guys eat, the last thing we should have is a bathing suit area.

I thought Arte and the City of Anaheim both ran off and told their mom's that the other one was being a meanie.

Isn't this part of the problem?  Losers like this get a free pass from some people for years/decades because of a swing he made.

actually I don't drink.  
 
I don't have a problem with anyone who drinks, vapes, smokes, or uses any other recreational drug unless the use causes them to be a menace to society in anyway.  
 
I do have a problem with any company or person who advertises and/or distributes alcohol, cigarettes, e-cigs or any other recreational drug to underage users.
 
Call me a sucker for supporting the laws of the land.....even if you think they are archaic.  

you sure seem to bristle at this idea, poozy, like you've got some skin in the game. why is that? why so offended at the idea that companies that peddle poison do so with bright colors and pretty pictures that appeal to kids? or the idea that they're sold at liquor/convenience stores, places kids are known to shop at.
