Peaks in June and goes down every month.  I was off by one month but the point stands.  Throw in his playoff average in October and it looks like a graph of the Titanic’s buoyancy.

I was all for trading him way back when.  He proved early on he’s a world class choker. 1 career hit in the playoffs and sub .100 batting average lol .  Go look at his splits:  batting average by month.  Peaks in May and BA goes down every month after that, consistently.  Same with RISP.
Contrast that with Cabrera who hit a game winning HR in his first mlb game EVER and led the Marlins to their first WS win in his rookie season.
Some have the fire, some don’t.
At least he’ll be ready for bow season which is apparently his favorite October activity.  Mine too.  Hunting elicits far more passion than baseball.

Nice to see Schnauel botch the game losing play.  I told you they brought him up way too fast.  Poor kid.  What a clown organization.

Of course, if Ted Williams had played in an era where 40% of the teams made the post season, I'm sure he would have played in more than one World Series.

Yes they were.  I bet on five games in a row before that game and was right every time, several thousand in total bets, and stated BEFORE the game I thought the Angels would win that one.  I studied team patterns, the Rangers seem to lay down when they already have the win in a series, and the Angels panic and win one game out of a series over and over.  The Rangers won the first two and lost the last game in the previous two series, one against the lowly A’s.  Team psychology is real.

So you don’t think we have a recent history of pushing players up too fast, to their detriment?  I strongly disagree.  Maybe when we were in the playoff hunt it made sense.  Now it seems desperate and prone to be backfiring.

Because AA is just like the big leagues.  Last I’ll say about it, I think it’s a mistake.  Like so many of our prospects we rush, he’ll look good for a short time, pitchers will figure him out, and it will end badly.

I would argue that Detmers has been anything but fine.  One game in which the opposing team was mailing it in doesn’t make up for his performance.
Joyce with his 2+ WHIP?
I could go on but let’s just see how it plays out.

Yes, 21 games in AA and he’s ready to go.
Watch him get his confidence wrecked.  Way too soon.

Was going to share my formula, but, nope.  Average fans are average.

Thank$ Angels, that makes 3350 in profit in the last two weeks betting against you.  One way or another I’ll enjoy this team.  You guys are nuts if you’re not cashing in on how predictable this org is.  When they went “all in” on a bunch of replacement level players I knew it was time to bust out the ole betting spreadsheet.

Thank you Arte for maintaining a top ten payroll.  Ignore all the people here who couldn’t run a Popsicle stand.
 
Now sign Ohtani.

I promise they’re a lot easier to watch when you place a bet against them.  But watch out, as soon as they’re mathematically eliminated I expect a win streak.

Too long a list.  Anyone who doesn’t completely choke or get “hurt” every time it really matters.

The game is meaningless so I like their odds.

Years ago I took a nasty fall while mountaineering in Argentina.  Hiked out three days with a huge hematoma and bone chips on my shin.  But Rendon can’t swing a bat for nearly a quarter million per game.  Uh huh.  Someone isn’t trying too hard.
