Fans of the Oakland A's would disagree.

Angels trade Jimmy Herget to the Braves for cash
AngelStew43 replied to mmc's topic in LA Angels | MLB Daily
Why couldn’t we get a player in return? Herget was pitching well in AAA, and he has ML experience. Maybe a SS from low A, or something. -
I'd like to see Rada on this train wreck, and soon. He could be the next Rod Carew, or the next Tony Gwynn, or the first Nelson Rada as far as I'm concerned. We have too many guys on our Major League roster that should be playing indy ball, for crying out loud. Oh well, three dollar tickets on StubHub coming soon.

Why isn't Jo Adell getting more playing time?
AngelStew43 replied to Taylor's topic in LA Angels | MLB Daily
I think that the awkwardness will eventually disappear. Worse OF’s have already been mentioned in this thread, and others. And, no one, myself included, would have predicted that Jo Adell would be leading the team in batting average and OPS at the end of the first month of the season. -
Most undisciplined Angels team in years?
AngelStew43 replied to The Ghost of Bob Starr's topic in LA Angels | MLB Daily
Didn’t RW say that we would be better defensively? I’m not seeing it. We are White Sox terrible on defense. And, why does the pitching staff fold, as a group, at the least sign of adversity, instead of buckling down, hitting that location, and getting the next hitters out? -
Predict the next roster move(s)

I’m surprised someone hasn’t noted that Paris is due for a hot streak. J/K. -
Predict the next roster move(s)

Cisnero and Suarez both need to go. They can option Soriano, if they want to. I’d like to see them do that, then bring him back in 15 days as a reliever. He hasn’t been consistent as a starter, but he’s dominant as a reliever. -
He might become similar to a couple of former Angels pitchers, Rudy May and Andy Hassler. Decent players with us, but pitched better after a change of environment.

Jared Walsh 3-5 with a bomb and a double
AngelStew43 replied to Hufflepuff's topic in LA Angels | MLB Daily
How about right now? -
Probably the second biggest mistake this franchise has made was to let Herzog get away. The number one mistake was trying to replace Nolan Ryan with two 8-7 pitchers.

Between Eddings and Angel Hernandez, those two are calling strikes that are three to six inches off of the strike zone, the black, whatever you want to call it. In the days of instant replay, where an individual pitch can be replayed in seconds, there is really no excuse for this poor umpiring. Maybe those two can be sent back to umpire college to tighten up their strike zones, and to be reminded that the fans do not come out to see umpires, but to see the talent on the field.

Oh well, at least we have some options for the pen. We can always move Soriano back down there, I think he's better in the pen, anyhow. There is always Ben Joyce, and Kenyon Yovan is throwing well in SLC.

Why isn't Jo Adell getting more playing time?
AngelStew43 replied to Taylor's topic in LA Angels | MLB Daily
The poor baserunning play was bad, no excuse for it. However, Adell seems to be making more consistent contact with the bat, and the ball jumps off of his bat. We need to see whether or not the bat continues to play. If it does, then it means less time for Hicks or Moniak, I don't care which. I also feel like the baserunning mistakes will eliminate themselves over time, if Adell gets the time. -
Interesting tweet from Lance Brozdowski about the Angels
AngelStew43 replied to Hufflepuff's topic in LA Angels | MLB Daily
His fastball location is dookie. If he keeps it down, he can get outs with it. His problem is keeping it down. -
I think we should continue our strategy of drafting as many power arms as possible. If the organization can find a few more players like Caden Dana and Barrett Kent, they could actually trade from an area of strength, as young, controllable pitching is MLB gold these days. If you have it, you can trade for players that you like, that may make your team a championship caliber team.

This is probably the best thing that we, as Angels fans, can do. Rendon knows he’s not contributing right now, Wash feels that he brings something positive to the team, so for as long as the team is winning, they can carry his lack of success. Just a comp from ancient baseball history, but Willie Mays was 0 for his first 20 mlb at bats, and he turned out OK. That last part was in hopes of making some of you laugh.

The Official 2024 Major League Baseball Thread

So, we must have, at some point, released Pomeranz. Figures he'd sign with the Dodgers. -
It’s time we consider signing Trevor Bauer
AngelStew43 replied to Hufflepuff's topic in LA Angels | MLB Daily
He'll pitch for ML minimum wage, and right now, he's better than our opening day starter. I fail to see a problem here. Arte and Perry, what are you waiting for?
