This guy could make you hate Santa Claus.

I am down on Fletcher, but again, if he comes back and works counts he has value. If you disagree that is fine, but it ignores what he is capable of doing if his approach gets back to what it was.
My big question is did his approach change or was it forced to change because of how he was being pitched.

He's a bum, your whining now!

I'm not really against this move, as I'm not convinced the guys he's replacing are any better, but I really don't get why people are so convinced Fletcher will somehow be a good player again.

Is there anyone in baseball over the last two seasons that hits the ball softer than Fletcher?
All we can hope for is a high enough rate of bloops and choppers.

Pop up? I expect a shallow and easily playable fly out

Don3347 reacted to bloodbrother in Gameday Thread (6/23/23): Angels @ Rockies
Honestly, it sucks that Perry spent the offseason specifically trying to improve the overall roster depth to account for injuries and to avoid having to rely on really bad hitters, and he did well in doing so IMO, but it's all moot now because so many of their damn infielders all got hurt around the same time

Rendon's cooked but even he is still better than being forced to trot out guys like Padlo and Velazquez. Biggest problem is guys like Walsh and Rengifo, 2 players they clearly were counting on to be regulars for the team this year at 1B/2B, and both are performing like some of the worst hitters imaginable. Neither belongs in an MLB lineup right now but they have so few options with Neto/Urshela/Rendon already down. Fletcher doesn't count as a realistic option, he sucks too

The upside is that we at least have our clubhouse leader for the next decade

Don3347 reacted to rafibomb in Angels acquire Eduardo Escobar from the Mets for Landon Marceaux and Coleman Crow
I don’t think anyone of significance will be moved until closer to the deadline but Perry really needed to address our infield depth asap.

Don3347 reacted to Angelsjunky in Is the Rendon deal a bust?
Yes, he's a bust if by "bust" you mean he's not earning his contract, relative to expected value, which for a free agent is about $9M per WAR.
Counting half of this year's salary, so far the Angels have paid Rendon about $96M and gotten 3.6 WAR out of him. That's about $27M/WAR, or about 3x the cost for the expected value.
By the end of his contract, Rendon will have gotten about $228M from the Angels. $228M / $9M = about 25 WAR. Meaning, to not be a bust, he would need to accrue over 21 WAR over the next 3.5 years, or about 6 WAR per season. Not going to happen.

Also, two fucking hits in 11 innings against the second-worst BP in the majors.
TWO. FUCKING. HITS!
Both by Rengifo.
Fucking pathetic.

Oh well. The Angels have only Ohtani, Trout and every other Angels hitter who failed to produce an offense tonight to blame..

Don3347 reacted to Dtwncbad in Jo Adell hits a HR 514 feet
Wonder what? If the guy works out?
He is 6’3”. Did you think a 6’3” guy wouldn’t gain weight from age 18 to 23? He weighs 215.
I gained 35 pounds from age 18 to 23 by accident.
He looks like a fit, strong pro athlete, not a puffy juicer.

Absolutely.
Crazy women are crazy. (Same as crazy men). But I'll add here that even beyond that, I have a front row seat 40 hours a week to seeing people who had kids with the wrong person.... and all the fun that entails afterwards....

My wife is at Kerlan Jobe today for her wrists. I think she is in what they call the Anthony Rendon suite.
