Ohh snap, going to try to make this with my pops! He's been asking when this event is coming back! 

This is so random! As long as this doesn't piss off Trout. I know they are close friends...

Holy shit. Never thought this would happen to me. Did we land on NoWay Ramirez??

Did it read that the Angels were aware of the accusations?

The story didn't confirm or deny that. There were multiple quotes in the story about how Callaway had a horrible reputation among the women in the industry. There was also a quote from one of the women expressing confusion about how multiple teams hired him without being aware of his terrible reputation: "How would that be possible? At this point, it's his reputation. If they are vetting him, even an ounce of his personal life should reveal this." 

I have an Athletic subscription, I just read the article. Pretty lengthy with lots of quotes from different female media members in Cleveland, NY, and Anaheim.

No one mentioned any dick pics, but he did send several shirtless pics and repeatedly asked for pics in return. He texted or emailed women over and over again even though they weren't responding. He made some inappropriate comments in-person about their outfits, looks, etc. When he was manager of the Mets, he liked to use the "If you come out and get drunk with me, I'll give you juicy news about the team" line as well. 

One woman also said that he thrust his crotch at her in the middle of a 1:1 interview. 

Yikes. 

Sources: Angels fire visiting clubhouse manager for aiding opposing pitchers https://es.pn/2InqO9Z

@tdawg87I couldn't get the LAT article to open on my phone, but I read this one from ESPN which has some details. This story still doesn't make a lot of sense, and I was also surprised to learn that a "visiting Clubhouse manager" even exists. Wtf. 

Get him on the weightless treadmill STAT!

Did he guarantee playoffs at the end there? He skipped way too many pages! 

LASAGNA

Interesting that he would have the Angels WS and Division champ flags as his background pic, but then call the org weak.

which is where it started 

Right. I didn't phrase that very well. Did Madbum get more or less than expected? 

How does this affect Keuchel and Ryu's asking price? I assume Ryu is expected to get more than Madbum, and Keuchel less?

The more time that passes the more likely they are to talk about it. As of now, Cole hasn’t even officially signed with the Yankees. 

Edge: Lowell

Hell yes! Let's get some pitching now!

This is probably more info than anyone here can possibly give you...   https://www.mlb.com/news/indians-credit-mickey-callaway-for-turnaround-c259346800

Beyond what those under his watch have said -- Callaway was a pitching prospect that didnt make it.   Like guys that never were able to hit, he likely tried everything he could to get better -- so, he knows what's working and what isn't and can help guys focus on the things that will work.

I think that was the issue with Doug White.  He was a computer, he knew facts but not how to convey the message.

There's a link embedded in that story that opens a much longer interview with Josh Tomlin. Some great quotes in here: https://bastian.mlblogs.com/he-does-whatever-it-takes-e05fcc4d46b8 

Lol at trading Adell for Mad Bum instead of Syndergaard. Hilarious. 

WTF!? R.I.P Tyler.

Raise your hand if you've ever been to a summer or spring fanfest and witnessed Tim Mead give a State of the Angels address for 30 minutes, followed by a 30 minute Q&A with our group? Some of the best times as a website that I've encountered over the past 15 years. I'm definitely going to miss this.

Sniff Sniff

This was the first thing I thought of when I saw this thread. Going to miss Tim at those type of functions, but what a great gig for him! Well deserved. 

This give me an improvement to my groin

Undertaker, aka Mark Callaway.....maybe the most respected person amongst all WWE wrestlers over the past 3 decades

 

 

 

And yes, trivia incoming, he played college basketball just like Kevin Nash and the Big Show (Paul Wight) did.   

There it is!!! I could totally see those three guys backing down and overpowering dudes in the paint.

seeing as I'm not a teenager, what is "The Undertaker music"? 

This is from the recently retired legendary WWE wrestler, the Undertaker. This was his entrance song back in the day. I am sure @Angel Oracle can provide us with a random Undertaker fact as well. 

I don't minds ads but on my phone they're literally taking up half the screen. Pretty ridiculous.
