    Odds that the angels fans still boo the Astros while conveniently forgetting that their team literally murdered one of their players and ran a drug ring?

    According to my poll, I extrapolate its results to equal 95 wins for the 2022 season.

    Lets get started!

    Got a great feeling for this season despite losing Correa and no big splash auditions.

    Tucker and Alvarez going to be neck and neck for MVP.

    Bregman’s going to be back to normal.

    Pena wins ROY.

    Bullpen is nails, rotation looks solid and LMJ will be back soon.

    Hunter Brown comes up and looks amazing. Whitley finally shows something. Myers comes back and looks like an all star.

    And we add a huge piece at the trade deadline by taking on $$$ rather than shipping out our best prospects.

    LFG Stros!!!

    Any chance to knock Boston out of the record books sounds good to me.

    I'm expecting the Angels to try to pull a rope-a-dope on Valdez today. They are going to strikeout so much that it is going to cause his pitch count to be high early.

    Is Brantley hurt or is Dusty really going to split time in LF evenly between him and Yordan?

    Interesting note on Pena. Wonder if that is max or average.

    I fully expect Yordan to play 50+ games in LF this year.

    He is much younger, hits much better when not DHing, and is better with the glove than people give him credit for.

    Probably the same as last year - Yordan in LF for Framber and Lance (ground ball pitchers) and Brantley in there for JV, Odo, Luis and Urquidy (fly ball guys).

    Completely agree. It will get there soon. They can't cost him ab's at the expense of sticking with a R-L-R-L... lineup.

    So what’s the optimists take on the state of our bullpen?

    Are pressly, stanek and Maton the top 3?
