What a twat! How typical that he stirs up controversy saying that Ohtani is not good enough to go seven innings. I swear this guy is such a piece of crap. He deserves to be fired.

Ohtani with great pitching but good grief does this offense need to wake up.

That and also the fact that Soto is going to make a lot more in arbitration most likely next off season. I'm not familiar enough with the Padres to know what their owner is thinking. Unless they back load Shohei's contract to fit in Sotos arb salary.

I guess it was overlooked in your interview and just brought up now that Sam Blum tweeted it. For as much as users here hate the guy, they sure do like to post his tweets and make threads about him. Thank you for being objective and showing how petty Arte is being.

Arte sucks balls. He deserves all the ragging he gets. I can't understand how fans still support him after the way he's run their favorite team. Especially after he says he's going to sell and then changes his mind. F him.

So 28 other teams send the radio guys to the game and the Angels are the ones that are correct for not doing the same thing? Bunch of homers. Oh and if Jeff Fletcher reported this, you guys wouldn't s*** all over him.

It should be 2-1.

Padres are a threat too. They are a World Series contender and could choose to use Soto's money for Shohei or just say screw it and sign both.

So if you have T-Mobile and live in the OC/LA area, give them to out of market people here if you'd like. I usually get them from slickdeals and give my OOM friends the code so they can watch the Angels. Haven't gotten one yet but the codes are good until April 2nd to redeem.

It would be amazing if Ward has another great season.

So you didn't read it. Not even the very first sentence of the article. Unless it was edited after you scanned it, which I highly doubt. The sad thing is I bet you aren't the only poster here that made that mistake. Reading comprehension is dying. Even with your mistake, the Angels in 3rd place is likely going to be the vast majority of predictions other than the local writers.

How?

It's almost unfair how the Dodgers can have one of the highest payrolls year after year and a top 3 farm system. That ORG is so incredibly smart. Then again, they only have 1 WS title in the last 35 years to show for it so there's that. I am not sure at what point they became so smart. 10 years ago? In that case, 1 WS title in the last 10 years is decent. Of course, it should have been 2 which would have made them more successful. Even if MLB pipeline is not the most accurate, it's not like they are way off. I looked at 5 different rankings and the Angels were 25th and higher on all of them. Arte has hired terrible scouts. I can't stand him.

Harsh for sure but he's the outliner. I think some bias does come into play though with 5 of them thinking Angels will finish in 2nd. I'm very curious how the rest of the USA writers think. I'm sure the majority have the M's in 2nd and I think there is very good reason for that. It's a long season of course and the Angels might finish in 2nd but the M's do have a better team on paper at least and a better farm to bring in injury replacements or for a deadline trade.

Will you be bringing some back bacon and poutine you hoser? How long does it take for you to drive to Anaheim on your zamboni?

As I posted earlier, you can get 3 and 6 month trials fairly easily. Especially the Target Circle one. Apple TV plus broadcasts in 4K which, if you have a 4KTV, is glorious. Here's an article I found with nine ways to get free Apple TV plus https://www.tomsguide.com/news/apple-tv-plus-free-trials

If you have an Xbox Series X and have Game Pass ultimate, you can get a 3 month trial until the end of the month. Might work on other Xbox consoles too. You can also get a 3 month trial with Target Circle and that doesn't expire until Sept 28th. You get a 6 month trial on PS4 or PS5. Forget which one. Target Circle™ Partners

They allowed three runs to Japan. 2 the game before.

Betts and Trout completely crapped the bed.

Oh man McNeil really should have waited for the UMP to call that a ball. He got lucky.

Now Ohtani is warming up.
