I guess reality hasn't sunk in yet for a few Angelswin fans.
Don't get me wrong, I would love for the Halos to make the playoffs....but more importantly, to ADVANCE in the playoffs. They are not build for an October run.
I commend you for coming up with 8 reason why they will make the playoffs, but I can think of many more reasons why they won't.
My feeling is this: we need to get a World Series win before 2020 or the team will definitely lose potentially one of the best players in the history of the sport. Trout will walk if he doesn't get a ring here, period. That my friends, makes me sad.
Hopefully a new GM, and potentially a new manager next year (fingers crossed), will shake things up, make intelligent signings in the offseason, and turn this team around.
Peace out...
