  1. Haven't been this excited and happy about this team for a long time. Actually I'm more excited now than when they signed Sciosh. We're gonna win. All Arte has to do is open that checkbook and it seems like he trusts Maddon enough to do that. We're in for a beautiful era of Angels baseball.
  2. But Eppler is preparing the 500 question test still and is set to include a round of Jeopardy for the finalists.
  3. What really matters here is that the right decision gets made. I'm with you on Eppler and the interviews at large that produced Ausmus. But whether Eppler was pushed or not, a mediocre manager was shown the door and right now the Angels are in the mix for what would be the right guy to build a winner. Go get Maddon and then sweat the details of how involved Arte is while we watch this team contend.
  4. Eppler recognizing he hired the guy who got the best coffee and reversing that decision gave me hope for not only him as a GM but for this franchise. But the rumors on Maddon push that hope into the excitement range. This is a huge deal for us, just the chance we might land that dude as manager.
  5. Bad pitching requires a quicker hook. I'd love to draw parallels here to bag on Ausmus (who I don't like) but it wouldn't be fair to him. This is a cause and effect deal.
  6. Stoneman's strength was his eye for coaching and managerial talent. He hired not only Sciosh but a pretty nice bench coach who was also instrumental in that championship.
  7. Eppler said they liked him because "he can miss bats." Which at the time I translated from GM-speak to "They both suck but he has more talent than Alvarez."
  8. Lot of talk re: the spin rate on his ball so maybe the Pirates' pitching coach did something right this season.
  9. Doing nothing is condoning. Hate is hate but in today's climate it's ok to look past it depending on your political affiliation. Which is wrong in ALL forms.
  10. Difference between ANTIFA and white supremacy groups is ANTIFA is condoned by the press at large.
  11. I'm tired of pitching coming up short. So If I were the guy reporting to the boss on the product I'd go way beyond tinkering with a couple additions to ensure we're good and by God we might suck the next year but it wouldn't be from pitching. I'd load a few new arms at a minimum who pitch to contact who can utilize our solid defense and ensure we can log innings. And a big name FA on top of that to head up the rotation.
  12. This conversation is the baseball equivalent of "check's in the mail." We have youth in the rotation so everything's gonna be good someday. And that may be correct. But I'm sorta feeling like the landlord right now.
  13. The real problem is keeping score. Do away with that, and the Angels are primed to make a move.
  14. Because pitching falling apart is a new thing right?
