    As a lifelong Angels fan, I couldn't have said it better. I think the only thing you left out was that while we picked up Giolito to "make a run for playoffs" our division rivals picked up Verlandser and Scherzer. It goes to show you what a half assed "all in" it really was to try and save face. It's never been harder to be an Angels fan man. Arte needs to sell the team, the front office needs to be gutted. Our entire pitching staff needs to go... The whole team just needs a complete restructure from the ground up.

Trout is the Dan Marino of baseball, both of these guys need to request a trade or just find some way to get away from this organization.

      Trout is way past his prime. Can't stay on the field. And when he is on the field, he's pretty much average now. Doesn't steal anymore. He certainly isn't clutch. The last at bat in the WBC kinda sums up Trout. Always swings for the fences. And, more importantly, he's not a leader. His and Rendon's contract will hamstring this franchise for years to come.

Murphy won 5 Golden Gloves, 4 Silver Slugger awards and was a seven time All-Star and put up tremendous numbers from around 1982 through 1987. Then the injury bug started hitting him and he went from future Hall of Famer, to just better than average and finally, just a shell of his former self.

    Its actually insane to me that when they got Trout as a compensation pick that they didnt immediately build a team around him. If they had they would be be beasts and possibly be in playoff contention every year. But they didnt. They had another opportunity when they signed Ohtani. Two absolute superstars on the same team but they yet again failed to build a team around them. If they had, they'd probably have at least a couple WS rings. The fact that theyve wasted two golden opportunities for a dynasty baffles me. Like you said its hard to build a winning baseball team but its a lot easier when you have two of the best players to ever play. I guess its an easy win most of the time as an Astros fan. Still sad to see.

A few years ago, many pointed at Mike Scioscia as the root of the problem with this team, but since he left, things have not improved and in many ways have gotten worse. As for Trout, one of the jokes is that he chose to stay because he would have Octobers free to pursue other interests. During the last NFL playoffs, he was spotted at the Eagles vs. 49ers game that determined which team would go to the Super Bowl. As soon as I saw that, I knew social media would have a field day because the jokes practically wrote themselves.

    As an angels fan this Lowkey brought a tear to my eye, flat out truth this franchise is lost there’s no guidance and no proper management. Moreno didn’t want to sell the team because Ohtani was bringing the fans and therefore the money was coming in so why sell. This franchise is set back at least 10 years, it’s embarrassing that Seattle and Baltimore got it together fast and they’re set for the next 10 years. So far the only players I see promising are Neto, O’hoppe, Schaneul, and Phillips because they’re young and learning but even I fear management will get rid of them before their potential comes in. Rendon robbed the team $245 million idk what they were thinking, because not getting Cole you think Rendon is the answer? Maybe this team needs to watch the documentaries of the 2002 team and learn some things from them on how it went right, majority of the 2002 team was from the farm system. The AL west got way more competitive that it used to be and it’s a shame Anaheim won’t be a part of that, $5 says Oakland build better than Anaheim

  • @EugeneMao-op3ot
    @EugeneMao-op3ot Před 10 měsíci

    You really have to put it on team brasses considering you have those two guys on the field at least in the last couple 3 or so seasons where shohei was coming in to his own. It's a lot easier building a team when you have those two filling up with middle of the lineup. But again, I'd really look back and either the management drafted horribly or traded away prospects for fixers. Also after giving albert that deal and josh that deal, they just didnt learn any better. Considering all the deals people gave out to players 30+, the majority of those deals do end up costing the franchise too much in money and lost opportunities. The teams that consistently win must develop from within. I guess it's just too bad that the Angels will just keep struggling for years to come until Rendon is off the books. Trading Trout is definitely the best move here as it'll give them some tanking time and replenish the farm system, cause there's no way anyone's taking rendon off their books.

    Selling prospects with a weak farm system with a team that could maybe make a wild card spot with a few upgrades was an absurdly dumb decision in the first place. If they had a super good farm system, the all-in push would make sense even if it blows up because you still have a farm system for a quick reload in a couple years. By not trading Ohtani and instead buying at the deadline, the Angels are pretty much doomed to be a bottom-feeder for the rest of the decade.

      I think they feel they've already brought up their best prospects and have their catcher, SS and 1st baseman for the next six years in O'Hoppe, Neto and Schanuel. They have Trout and an all-star caliber third baseman if Rendon ever comes back to form. They still have lots of pitching prospects, but don't seem to be doing a good job of developing consistency with them, and maybe have brought them all up too fast. The pressure to win now will be off next year, so they might not be in as bad shape as people seem to think.
