Game 6 was my 30th birthday. Great gift from Speez!

I don’t think it’s a terrible idea to give Eaton a shot and see if he can recapture what made him a solid outfielder as recently as 2019. I hope the leash is short though. I’d rather see one of our young players getting those at bats if the production isn’t there quickly from Eaton.

The implosion here when he starts off hot in an extremely small sample size is going to be epic.

What a bummer. RIP Milton.

Awful news.

I feel like both Shoemaker and JC Ramirez have the stuff and makeup to be quality high leverage relievers. With Ramirez's injury in particular, I wonder if there is any thought of using him in that role? I think Shoe will get another opportunity this year to be a starter, but if he doesn't take a step forward I could see him being used late in games starting as early as later this season. I think this increases the odds they add another starter before adding a high priced reliever.

GA was always under appreciated here and probably by Angels fans in general. Instead of seeing him as smooth everyone seemed to see him as lazy. Top 5 Angel position player in my book.

Chuck, I don't know if it's useful info or not but it's been an issue for some time but very intermittent. It would be there for a day or so and then not be a problem. Usually you could just back out of it or open another window and it wouldn't be an issue. But it's been persistent for the last 4-5 days and as someone else noted you can only leave the site to escape it.

Is anyone else getting the relentless gift card winner pop up using Safari? It's pretty much making the site unusable for me. Considernetwork.com is what keep taking over the site.

I'm hoping that Shoemaker has hit that time of the season where he dominates for 6-8 weeks. That would be a nice boost.

The Tex-Mex influence is heavy and they can't figure out how to do salsa or red sauce at all for some reason. It's not terrible food in general, it just pales in comparison to Southern California Mexican food.

Arizona Wilderness Brewing Co. - way better than Four Peaks for both the beer and the food. Pizzeria Bianco - it lives up to the hype. The Farm at South Mountain is a cool place for lunch, especially with kids. Hash Kitchen - in Scottsdale for breakfast/brunch. Creative food and a kick ass Bloody Mary bar. Completely skip anything Mexican food wise in Phoenix if you grew up eating Mexican in California.

It was an amazing day. Also got a ball signed by Pujols. Got a pic with Arte (no, I didn't ask about his yacht) and an autograph from The Big Catorce. Best Spring Training experience we've had.

C'mon you pervs. The tdawg reference was to how awesome Trout is all the way around. Not only is he god-like on the field but he appears to be a quality human being too. Kind of like when you see a super hot chick and then when you talk to her you find out she is kind and smart too. Chillax a little people.

Got to catch the Angels workout at Tempe Diablo stadium yesterday. We walked up just as Mike Trout and the other outfielders were starting long toss. Trout was standing about 20 feet away from us and my 5 year old (who has a baseball knowledge limited to Mike Trout, "Go Angels" and me telling him to stop playing in the dirt at T-Ball games) says loudly "where's Mike Trout?" Mike turns around and waves to him. Then he runs over after warming up and gives my son the ball he was using. He also later signed the ball too. Quality guy. Friendly and down to earth. The Angels and us fans are extremely lucky.

Riverside? Has this ever been mentioned as a possible relocation site? This article is the first time I've seen it.

What Wallyworld said. Maybe if we really lay into Hamilton in this thread his wife will cry about it on Housewives and get AW some free publicity? There's no such thing as bad publicity right Chuck?

Jack McDowell - talk about dumpster diving.
