My man… yeah, in my God given opinion, this would be something that could only help the effed up mentality, culture of this worst-in-sports franchise. Everything else has been tried. Yeah, the TB Rays could teach our Angels a whole lot about winning.
-
Arozarena plays with a boyish enthusiasm that would help this team, help them play more relaxed and maybe even have fun out there. I think this team plays too uptight with the stress of having to make the playoffs. I would love adding Arozarena to this roster.

How about trading Rendon for Rodon?
79CAAman replied to Erstad Grit's topic in LA Angels | MLB Daily
Rendon would likely get hurt on the way to the required physical. -
It’s my hope that O’Hoppe becomes the leader of this team in future seasons. It showed me a lot when Logan came back from the surgical procedure on his shoulder this season. To me, it’s not a good example to the rest of the team when you break a small bone in your hand and you call it a season. Or fouling off a baseball off your shin and doing the same. As a damn Angels fan that’s all we have is these small slivers of hope going forward.

Wow ‘61, I’ve been really critical of Trout this season. I can’t, however, disagree with your post. Trout has had all the baseball-talent a man can be born with. Trout to me doesn’t seem to have that leadership quality to him, or at least it doesn’t seem to be there. Someone else needs to grab this team by the horns and take over. I’m impressed with O’Hoppe and certainly hope he can take the reins and be the young leader of this team. O’Hoppe seems to have that hunger that very often is thoroughly extinguished with a huge contract.

Perry is going to go down as the GM that had TWO of the best players of their generation and they accomplished dick. Last year they led the majors in strikeouts by a comfortable margin. I mean, it's hard to bring a guy in with a lead off double by continuously striking out. Yeah, they fired Reed as the hitting coach. This year, they have only slightly improved in that area. This season the pitching staff seems to have regressed, I mean one of the starters should have had something resembling a breakout season. That will be addressed when exactly? He may be a good GM to some, my problem is... there are too many GM's out there that are much better at their jobs.

I’ve posted elsewhere that Trout is simply not clutch, in no way is he clutch. If something like control of the clubhouse tv remote was on the line, Trout would strike out. Yeah, his first 8 or 9 seasons it’s a no-brainer, but these past few seasons? He’s good to go yard when the game is decided and there’s no one on base. let another team take on the huge contract with a player who’s best years are in the books… for a change.

Angels Open to Trading Trout (IF he requests one)
79CAAman replied to Tyler's topic in LA Angels | MLB Daily
How about addressing the cancer on this team?? Everyone on this board knows who that cancer is. You don’t need a baseball-oncologist to figure it out. -

Hey TF you’re not the only one with those thoughts. I keep telling myself that I need to prepare for more as this organization has no rock bottom. -
Trout was the best player on the planet for 8+ years. His best years are clearly behind him. As I’ve mentioned in another post, ‘winning’ is just not something he brings to his game. For being the game’s premier player, he is and will be financially rewarded to the point that his grandchildren will be set. Like it or not, Trout and this organization are tied together as no team will take on that contract. Lord, is there a more effed-up situation in all of sports?
-
Trout has a serious case of Rendonitis, likely a very bad case of it. There seems to be no known cure. Luckily for Trout, it’s just in time for him to watch his eagles even the preseason. Regardless, winning yes the act of winning eludes Trout. It always will. Some guys are somehow born with that intangible quality and while he was born with extraordinary physical attributes, winning is just not part of his makeup. This organization is so effed.
-
just clean house. Getting rid of that cancer-rendon would be an amazing start. Beginning with the scouts and those responsible for player-development. Teams like the Atlanta Braves show how there’s baseball organizations that are highly competent at finding talent. At least that would be my hope for the ‘26 season and beyond. .
-
It does bother me that this team has not had it in them to retaliate in any way for the past several years. I wouldn’t be in favor of taking out one of their players, not at all, but I also think there’s nothing wrong if one of their guys got plunked on the thigh or the ass. There’s several very good teams out there that wouldn’t have tolerated their guy getting hit like that.
-
I for one am pulling for J Walsh to get better, if something is in fact wrong. Would make an amazing story to see him in the big leagues again.
-
How about the play at the plate where Neto crashes into the catcher’s helmet? Had that been rendon, he’d be in a full body cast today, at the very least a neck brace and out for sure. Brittle sob
-
Give me that any day of the week. Some fire! Take a team with a few more Thaiss’s and NO Rendons. Got ourselves a winning ball club.
-
My feelings exactly. I think that’s obvious at this point. The other players on the team have got to see it and it can’t be good for environment in the clubhouse.
-
Legit at what exactly? Constantly tinkering with the lineup regardless of outcome.
-
This thread seems to have true tenacity, much more than the guy who’s paid many millions per year to PLAY 3rd base for this team.
