Thats great news for the Stassi family. God bless them. Now lets all get behind a Max comeback.

Stupid yellow line in right field! All it does is hinder normal flow of the game. Total waste of energy. Confuses outfielders and runners then stops everything for a review. Really bad idea. Since no one seems to know what the net run total for the Angels is, just erase it or prove it works for us. Bad idea.

I didnt notice any mention of my managerial candidate in this thread but my apologies if it has. I think if Arte and Perry are looking for a hard core baseball guy on a budget then Gary DiSarcina seems to fit the bill. A combination of accrued knowledge on and off the field , toughness and Angel legacy gets my vote. Well respected bench coach to a historical frachise just adds to his resume. I bet he would jump at the opportunity. (I hope).

Industry Opinion on Anthony Rendon & Arte Moreno
johndw52 replied to Chuck's topic in LA Angels | MLB Daily
I'm not jumping on this bandwagon, at least with Rendon. Yes strange behaviour, odd interactions with fans etc looks real bad. Not to mention his injury prone history. But "hates baseball" is to me a strech. He didn't get this far by hating a sport which millions dream of but only a handful can attain. He is a strange bird that I can see but baseball has always had some oddballs. Good and bad. Maybe some hidden demons similar to Hamilton. Who knows. Hopefully he will wake up. In the meantime the Angel Org is SOL. PLEASE SELL ARTE! -
Come on MLB get with the program : ROBO UMPS
johndw52 replied to johndw52's topic in LA Angels | MLB Daily
Do these umps get mandatory vision tests at least 2x a year? Love to see a published list. Angel Hernandez results. I know their union would never permit that. -

Hey younger guys, guess who this sexy starlet dated. No googling now. A.O. need not apply. He also dated: Ann Margret, Tina Louise, Connie Stevens.

Would a contract like 40M/Y + some type of team investment, merchandise % pass the player's union approval? Or is this wishful thinking?

Moved this from Toronto Umpires While umpire bias or influence can be a factor of some egregious calls, asking a human being to make an instantaneous decision based on near 100 mph pitch with near whiffle ball snap movements against an imaginary 3d zone 200 + times a game is next to impossible. The technology is now demonstrating this. The time to use and perfect this tech has become a necessity . Lets help these guys from becoming a total embarrassment. Quote

What does that translate to in real world dollars? Sorry dont even play cards.

Anyone know the Vegas odds for Angels to get to world series. Not a gambler and do not understand when numbers get to big.

What if the Angels are planning to bid on him after the season?
-
Should the Angels offer a say in which team he may be traded to? Or is it all about business? Is there a clause in his current contract? Just thinking out loud.
