How do Los Angeles Angels fans feel about Shohei Ohtani making the World Series as a Dodger? On today’s Locked On Angels, we were asked, so we’re talking about it! The Super Halo Bros. dive into the discussion head first, and explain exactly how Angels fans feel about it, and it’s not as clear-cut as people think. We’ll address the type of fans who love to punch down, and, why the heck is Mike Trout getting dragged into this discussion? We’ll get to it all on today’s SPICY episode!

  1. I watch a bunch of basketball ball and the lakers could get blown out by 30 and there record goes to 15-30 but espn will milk them dry and ignore the smaller market teams that are doing well. That is the main reason why I found you guys. I was sick of watching the same teams(whether they’re good or bad that year) get all the attention.

  2. Mike trout is competitive but signing that extension means that he doesn't care about getting to the playoffs or winning the world Series. He would rather play in near perfect weather and just likes not having the pressure to win. If he would have signed with the Dodgers or Padres, there would be more expectation for him to win and the media would be all over him. Mike Trout is just comfortable where he is.
    I disagree that he would have gotten as hurt. If he would have been playing for different teams, there's no way of knowing that.

  3. Preach it Jon and Mike I understand you both my obnoxious dodgers friends all I hear is how great the dodgers are and now horrible the angels. I keep telling them they are 1-12 and one championship in this time how is that great ?

  4. Hi Mike & Jon !!
    Thank you,thank you !!
    This is one of the very best shows you've done !!
    Oh my goodness, great and awesome !!
    Funny, informative and telling it like it is !!
    The entire show put a huge smile on my face !
    I'm a forever, OC and SoCal kid.
    I always want the local guys to win.
    Yes, there are rivalries between local teams, that's ok and fun.
    Just my opinion, Dodgers win in 7 vs Yankees.
    I also have alot of friends who are big Dodgers fans and also remind
    me how terrible we are. I tell them just what you both said and that
    baseball karma can give a quick payback and give up a big slice
    of humble pie very quickly.
    Thank you both again for being our voices !!
    Take good care everyone
    Go Angels !!!!

  5. I’ve been a dodger fan ever since 2011 and I’m an adult, so no just because I grew up during the renaissance of the Dodgers, it doesn’t mean I’ve seen success yearly and no I’m not a hater at all of the Angels, I take the Fuzzy YT channel approach and respect every team for their success and talent. My 2 best friends are Angel and giants fans, and we’ve never argued over anything baseball related. I will say yall are wrong about trout catching strays, he’s actually targeted. Let me explain, dodger fans had a better shot at reeling in trout to LA, not many dodger fans say this but we all collectively wanted to see trout in a dodger uniform with kersh, the thought of both 2014 MVPS on the same team was wild! I will say it came as a shock that trout stayed, and the Angels pushed “Loyalty” slogan and it was frustrating for dodger and Phillies and Yankees fans because we all wanted him to be a FA and come over to one of our hall clubs. It’s not fair for trout to catch these targets but I hope it makes sense

  6. I'm not mad that he left. The angels are a dumpster fire. I'm only mad that he decided to go the dodgers out of all teams 😭

    it feel likes Durant going to the warriors

  7. Mike Trout isn’t getting drug thru the mud.. like always people are bummed that a player that great spent his prime with an org that didn’t do their part. Yeah it was his choice to stay so that’s on him, but ultimately is just a shame. He’s still a HOFr.
    Of COURSE you hate Shohei on the dodgers. What team wouldn’t be pissed to see him go. The angels are not our rival, that’s comedy dude. Y’all need to get out of your feelings cuz you knew this was coming.

  8. Still remember you guys were off to a good start in 2022… then the 14 game losing streak and back to reality. But I have to agree with y’all clarifying the injuries

  9. The only reason Arte didn't trade Ohtani was because he's planning to sell the Angels at the highest possible price, and he needed to keep Ohtani for a few more months to do so.

  10. 30 years old and two arm surgeries? Arte should have traded him! I have nothing against Shohei, but I would be surprised if he last many years.

    Dodger fans are cool, there’s just some ghetto ones that ruin it , similar to raiders fans . Talking too much trash and embarrassing themselves.
    I love my stadium. I love Orange County. I hate everything about LA. I will be an Angel fan for life! I wear my gear regardless of outcome. The World Series is going to be fun to watch! I don’t really root for anybody I just enjoy good baseball or good sports of any type. And I got a lot Dodger fans that are family so I’ll probably play nice and cheer for the Dodgers with my Angel gear On I actually started as a dodger fan, but I only went to Angel games as a 19-year-old and so I just switched over to being an Angel fan because I always ended up at Angel Stadium! So I did cheer for them in 88 and watched every pitch, but I was a kid then, I guess I felt that I shouldn’t have two teams that close together, but I guess they’re not really rivals so it doesn’t really bother me one way or the other is just fun to watch sports igo for underdogs like my angels so I don’t care who wins. I’m looking forward to going to many games next year at Angel Stadium! I can’t wait.!!

  11. I'm a Dodger fan from orange county, I don't mind the Angels. If you wonder why Dodgers fans are in your page it's probably because you keep on bringing up Ohtani. My algorithm suggested this video to me.

  12. もう大谷さんの話題は辞めて下さい
    変な炎上のきっかけを作りたいのですか?
    大谷さんは何も悪くないです
    6年間怪我も有りましたがチームの為に一生懸命プレー
    しました
    それはチームメイトに聞いたら解るでしょう

  13. I’ll be honest Ohtani is the reason I got into baseball so when he went to the dodgers I started watching them instead too. But I do miss ur show, definitely the best baseball podcast out for me. I still come back to listen time to time

  14. I’m actually maybe not your typical fan. So I liked Ohtani and therefore became a fan of the Angels. He introduced me to both the Angels and Dodgers and I still love the Angels even though he’s not there anymore . Wishing you guys and Trout more and more success every year !

  15. GO Yankees! And it's not because of Shohei. I can't fault him for doing what's best for him. I just am not a fan of the Dodgers. One Angels-Dodgers game at the Big A with knucklehead Dodger fans all around us was all it took!
