Shouldn't surprise anyone except the dumb baseball media establishment that perpetually thinks "this is the year" the Angels can sustain success over 162. They cannot. They're not built that way. We're gonna run away with the division.

Don't forget the "sustainable" Mariners…

If we make a trade this year it needs to be for an arm. It's going to be very clear that this team will not win a World Series without elite pitching. I think we have seen what this offense is going to be this year, and we need an elite pitching staff to win it all
Have we, though?


I would say we have unless 2021 Yuli and 2019 Bregman show up.

Tucker is just in a slump but the other two have been rough the entire season minus 1 road trip each.

They definitely can get hot and revert back to 2021 form, but the sample size for this season is getting bigger each week with the results staying about the same. At a certain point in the season, you are what your numbers are.

That being said I still think we win the Pennant due to our pitching and ability in clutch situations. Mixed with this team's October experience. I'd just like to add another arm or two in the process.

Until we trade for a big bat or two, I think we have. Yuli is broken, but the defense first philosophy that click has means he'll probably stick.
My homie Deluxe & I disagree.

This is correct. Despite our struggles, we're still performing very well in terms of OPS+ at 6 of 9 positions. This despite some of the worst luck in the league.

Bregman started 2018 with a meh April/May, then turned on the jets in June. That's what I'm hoping for this year.

Hopefully Meyers helps solve CF and Yuli gets back to hitting the way he's capable. If not, we got a move or two to make.

a good test for the offense will come next week vs. the Mariners.

the Astros will see Flexen for the 4th time this season -- he's not a good pitcher.

and the 'stros will see Gilbert for the 2nd time in 10 days. Need to make adjustments

I'm less worried about CF. Chas, Myers and Leon are all above average defensively and on the base paths. They have shown enough to lead me to believe one can be adequate offensively.

Catcher I have no hope. Between age, advanced metrics and a general multi year downward trend, Machete is what he is. Sure maybe he can put up a .500 OPS rather than where he is now, but that's hardly saying anything. At his age, you also have to wonder if he can continue to log this many innings.

1B could use a lefty power bat as well, preferably with control beyond this year. Yuli is old and last year seems more a mirage than anything else. A great last hoorah. He still hits lefties ok and is good with the leather but it would be good to have someone who crushes righties and can take over in 2023. Maybe a guy like Tommy La Stella. Even if the Giants don't give up, I could see them trading infield depth to help elsewhere.

Yuli's BA last year (.319) is WAY closer to his career BA (.289) than this year's BA (.223).

Last year was more the norm than this year.

Not a bad day when you add a full game and 2 in the loss column on the team below you and you didn't even play a game.

So the Astros are now 7 games ahead of the Angels in the loss column. Magic number to clinch the Western Division is now 105.

His BA may improve but the power last year was highly anomalous. He's also 38 so you simply never know when Father Time catches up. Some guys fall off a cliff quickly.
