Full volume. People were in the restroom. I didn't care.

Brandon seems like a playboy. My guess is him.

I love a well put together Hitler reaction video

i'm holding out for hitler's reaction to the new trailer.
 
alright alright alright.

He spends most of his time on set running from the cops.

This too for me 
 
 

Just take all my money. I am all in.

I saw Nolan Ryan pitch at AAA, and he was wilder than hell. I thought that he might kill somebody.

Not the double-double.   Same great taste and the freshest, highest quality foods since 1948.

Haha, I was waiting for that soto.

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.
