Los Angeles Angels FAIL at Failing White Sox, Mike Trout On Ownership, Washington on Young Players

1. Kochanowicz again had an awesome outing. Low and effective pitch count throughout 7 innings. Ink him in as a starter for next season. Should have gotten the win, but it's unfortunate he didn't get it.

   Enter Jack Lopez… Not going to make matters worse. Bad error at the most unfortunate time, it's just the Angel Way. Overall, I will say 20 Ks in 50 ABs for a 40% strikeout rate has done you in. Good luck on your next team.

   Hunter Strickland thanks for an overall good season. Your second half hasn't been that great, but we must move on from you…

   I don't have no faith Jose Suarez will help get us the win tomorrow. So we should tie the most loss record then. Thanks Arteball for the "Unfinished Business" season. You certainly will be recognized
   and deserve all this notoriety.

2. A lot of hodgepodge!

3. The Angels are working real hard for a top 3 draft pick! We are playing with seven guys who should be in AA/AAA. It appears we are on the job training.

4. On a happier note: you had to love the end of the Dodgers game.

5. 1. After that game, I'll be very disappointed if the Angels don't break the franchise loss record.

   2. I've been increasingly following the Padres the last few seasons and they're doing everything they can to peel me away from the Halos. It was a huge whiplash watching the Padres/Dodgers game right after this one. At the moment, they're an almost total 180 from the Angels in every way. Whether its the front office, team chemistry or just plain vibes amongst the fans and the dugout. The Angels have and will always be my #1 team, but I won't be surprised if most of my focus is spent next season on the Padres and at Petco Park.

6. It's appropriate it took an error of historic proportions by Jack Lopez to save the White Sox from having their historic failure. Even someone in little league would have made that play.

7. Must agree with you guys. I have seen this pitching pull all season long with Skip Schumacher. In this lost season for the Fish, where evaluation should be priority, we get 4.2 innings a game. No matter the pitch count, we can't see how these guys deal with adversity. Schumaker is petrified of the "third time through." In this season. Really? Which is exactly why teams should not keep a known lame-duck manager. He's playing for his next audition and not organizational needs, IMO. It's like kicking a field goal down 20 in the 4th Quarter. Useless.

8. Kochanowicz goes 7 allows 3 hits no runs and Halos lose 3 to 2. This kind of sums up our season.

9. What if Trout offers to amend his deal over, say, 20 years? With the caveat that the money is plowed into player acquisition. Won't happen, of course, but it's a proactive offer that could be tied to a post-playing career in the FA.

10. If Rendon ever hits more than 5 homers in a season again I'll be watching pigs fly. How do you add more when 80 million is tied up in 2 players? Please do tell?

11. I think that supporting cast needs another season of marinating! The Angels need to hire a head hunter to poach the smart executives from winning franchises! The Angels need players with benefits!

12. Great show! The game last night was wild and yet, totally predictable by any Angels fan. Not trying to spoil tomorrow's show, but is Ward the leader you're referring to? After Wash's comments and watching Ward come into his own over the last month especially, I wonder if he isn't the consistent presence the Angels need next season, not for his bat or fielding necessarily, but for his experience and ability to stay healthy. I may be a little biased because I am a big fan of Ward even through his rough patches, but I think the younger guys need him around in 2025 because he was the only veteran to remain in the trenches with them all season long in 2024.

13. Unpopular opinion by another disgruntled Angel fan: The young core… sucks!
    I’m sorry, but if we’re going to build a team around a bunch of .220/240 hitters, then we might as well buy property in 4th place and stay there. It’s not their fault, the Angels just can’t develop players.

    And it feels like this is all intentional to relocate.

14. Yeesss!!!! Thank you for talking through the end!!!!

15. Game day today I'll be at this one so be looking for a angels fan with a big angels flag lol let's hope today is a win and we play good can't wait

16. This was a hard game to watch. Unless Arte opens his wallet in the off season, next year will be more of the same. Really bad, ugly and embarrassing baseball

17. Strickland: TRASH
    Detmers: TRASH
    Anderson: TRASH
    Canning: TRASH
    Lopez: TRASH
    Drury: TRASH

    That's only a partial list. The Front Office has so much cleaning up to do.

18. Angels coaches need to learn Aaron Judges swing mechanics and teach it to our players , they are always going to be inconsistent if they don't. Great game by neto on sunday , but then 0 fer . Ohoppe also had a great game but then 0 fer . Inconsistent.
    Ron Washington is a great defensive coach and a great mind set coach , but hes not a great hitting coach.

19. Funny thing is that it looked like most of the White Sux fans were disappointed that they won 😂. We’re there to see history. Angels were the reverse spoiler.

20. New nickname for Kochanowitz: K-Wiz

21. I like Wayne Randazzo. I also like Matty V. I don’t like rotating three mouthpieces. The Angels should pick one and one only.😊

22. Does it really matter what Trout says!! He will be on the DL most of next season. He is also part of the problem why the Angels suck.
