Horrible.

Pinder with the Hey Jude walk up song. Respect.

I don't think they care about righty lefty that much with Loup. He seems to be able to get out anyone up there.

You guys are doing it again.

This thread should be stickied forever. It's a perfect exemplification of the trade process and how fans react to them.
We will ALWAYS underestimate how much a player we want is worth in a trade. Oftentimes significantly. 
So this trade unfolds and we all lose our minds because we overvalue what we have and undervalue what we want. We want to trade pieces we essentially don't want on the roster. Why would another team give up anything of value for pieces the other team doesn't like or want (Tony Reagins, aside)?
If we get anything of value in a trade, we're going to give up players we don't want to trade, because those are the guys other teams will want.

Shit sucks.  I fucking hate it. 

Uh Oh.

Our boy can still fly! 

The Angels have won plenty of times on account of Trout and Ohtani. And you'd expect them to win games because of Rendon as well. 
But last night, it was the new acquisitions and the youth movement. Lorenzen has had plenty of doubters, myself among them, but I was more impressed with him last night than any other pitching performance so far. Syndergaard's final line was better but I could have expected that from him, but Lorenzen was pitching inspired. Completely in control, working quickly, great stuff. 
Being a prospect enthusiast, anytime a young guy makes good on the talent, I'm excited. Last night Marsh and Adell gave me hope that performances like that can become more frequent. 
And finally, the bullpen. Loup and Tepera gave us drama free innings, something we haven't had a lot of in the past. 
It was a fun way to win a ball game. 
 

I gained so much respect for Mattingly after watching that MLB Network documentary. He’s someone I would love to see manage the Angels.

We got this little sidearm fucker for 3 more years. Thank you Perry!!
