The Ghost of Bob Starr reacted to Vegas Halo Fan in Arod being heckled by NY Media
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.

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

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.

Any chance alcohol played a role in this post?

The Ghost of Bob Starr got a reaction from Tank in Angel Stadium Renovation
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!!!!
