  1. Angels get priced out scenario -sign Strasburg -sign Hamels -sign Machete
  2. That seems a bit premature. As far as we know he considered his comment carefully,weighing the balance of his rights, the protection of the union and the mixed public opinion MLB would be under for openly opposing what would otherwise be simply a free speech issue. As it is, there are virtually no consequences for the tweet that I'm aware of outside of him taking down his account. I'm sure his 10 followers are mourning. This may just be tilling the soil for his post-retirement book. "Keepin it Red While Wearing Blue"
  3. Page 1: 1988 Every succeeding page: No doubt a fascinating read.
  4. My personal experience completely contradicts the statement that Dodger fans don't feel any rivalry towards the Angels. As long as the Angels are not winning, the ones that I know will act like the Angels are beneath their notice, but will often say something to put the lie to their indifference, whether about the "of Los Angeles" name, or getting pissy about Angel interleague wins. The real test, though long ago, was 2002 when Dodger butthurt exploded like an extinction-level Dr. Pimple Popper detonation. Their pretense of not giving a fig was the ugliest unmasking since KISS in 1983.
  5. Angels getting all their injuries out of the way now to pave the way for an injury-free 2020 season. Smart move Eppler!
  6. I doubt that he got banned. He was probably too lazy to keep posting.
  7. For those who like the human element, it's not a problem to program in random false outcomes. In fact, they can program games so there is an uptick in false outcomes in late innings of close games. They could set it so it appears that the entire program is malfunctioning on certain days. They could set it so that it appears that false outcomes occur for the Angels moreso than their opponent. It would be so human-like and familiar as to be virtually unnoticeable.
  8. At least we found out before extending these stiffs.
  9. Probably because they're at Sharkeez scouting local talent.
  10. Grabbing it from the guy's wife? I think that's the end of that friendship. What a moron.
  11. Actually he started on 3-days rest on 10/7/13 vs Braves in game 4 the NLDS after starting game 1 on 10/3. You're right about him not pitching until game 5 though . I must've misunderstood something I heard earlier about shortening their rotation to maximize his availability.
  12. Not so sure Dave Roberts would use the word crucial. Of course that is optimal but I bet he's ready to hook him and burn through his bullpen knowing that Kershaw is up next. Going 1-2 in Houston still leaves them in a good position with the final two in LA. Looks like Kershaw will pitch game 7 and if Verlander pitches in that game it will be on 3 days rest.
  13. Paying $1200 to see your Bridegrooms come up short....Priceless.
  14. I've yet to meet a hard core fan of a NL team that is remotely interested in transitioning to a DH. They pine on about strategy and minimizing the role of the manager. They would hate it. Which is why I'd love it!
