    I know, and I don't want this to turn into the NBA in that regard, it was just a joke.
    Anaheim is not a small area, but they are considered a small market as the Dodgers are one county away and get most of the coverage in Southern California. The rise of Ohtani has brought more attention to the Angels, but it's still going to be tough for them to make the playoffs.

    Abreu has the stuff to be the best guy in the pen. If he figures it out the pen could be nasty.

    That’s fine. Who you going to hit 3rd? either way I’m fine wherever Altuve hits as long as it’s top 5

    Here he is tracking Bregman's HR. Should have been a relatively routine play but he overran it.

    Oh no doubt it would be wonderful if a couple of the youngsters would step up, I was just thinking about the vets out there (Taylor too). You pretty much know what you're getting with Stanek and Pressly (hopefully).

    winning 93 when you have a team that should win 102 is bad management. Winning 93 when you should win 82 is good management.

    Is there talk of a trade to the Astros. That's the only way he sniffs the playoffs.

    102? With those starters? Come on, now. Yet, got this team to the WS. The # of games you win is irrelevant, when the goal is to get to the playoffs.

    I saw that, and was thinking: "Damn, Tucker really needs to learn to push the ball"

    Then I saw those numbers were SLG, not OPS.

    Nice game.

    Nice series win.

    I will take winning 75% every time. Of course, 75% of our upcoming opponents are better than the Angels, so I better squelch any celebrations for now.

    We have one of the top starting rotations in baseball. They are just young and were not high on prospect lists so people like you don’t realize how good they are

    I mean, I realize it’s baseball and the returns are really, really early, but Jeremy Peña looks really damn nice.

    Last season, No Verlander, Aging fast Grienke, ineffective Odorizzi, rookie Garcia, and at the end McCullers gets hurt. They didn’t have a top rotation last season.

    Last season we were 2nd in AL starter ERA, IP, and WHIP.

    Our starting rotation last season was extremely good
