I think it's more so a group of people sit in a room and game plan lineup, bullpen, match ups, etc. the front office has the final say. I doubt Dana Brown hands Dusty the lineup card card and says do this or else.


I certainly would if I were Dana brown

So, either Trout asks for a trade now or everyone can write him off as a guy who doesn't care about winning. Anyone that chooses to stay with the Angels now doesn't care about winning.

Is it normal for a guy who hits a home run every 15 at bats to hit 9 hole?

I don't even care about the order. There are no holes in that lineup so it doesn't matter anyways
Exactly...the biggest reason we complained about the order construction was there were way too many "breathers" for the opposing pitcher. This lineup has ZERO easy outs, especially with Pena getting hot.

It is relentless...finally! Now watch us get shut out.

We know Pena & Abreu should be 8-9 right? 2 hole Pena is still so so silly.

This is probably the best way to optimize.
Altuve
Alvarez
Bregman
Tucker
McCormick
Brantley
Diaz
Abreu
Pena

I'm not mad at it tho. It may have taken until game 144 to get there but we finally got it.

Honestly, it's because the Astros are trying their hardest to win another World Series, while I have no idea what the Texas A&M football team has been trying to accomplish for the last few years.

Texas A&M football is literally the Dallas Cowboys now. It's not about winning, it's just about making money.

I don't see it that way at all. A&M has done just about everything right when it comes to trying to win. We hired a coach no one expected to even be available. We built the best stadium. We have the most fans. Any and every facility is there. NIL is stocked up. It's more like we're the 2023 Mets. Spend all the money, buy the best players, yet it fails miserably.

it's silly but true

last night as i was following the ags score on my phone my reaction was well that's a bummer i guess

when the stros got swept by the mariners a few weeks ago i woke up in the middle of the night stewing on it

there's no way i could explain that to 20 year old me


How we feel from 2017-now must be how Bama fans or Georgia fans feel about their football team.

It's awesome but also stressful
the only difference is that we all know down deep that the party will end. it's not a matter of if but when. and how long it takes to retrench.

two world series wins and you cannot be mad at the long strange trip. i can't imagine another sporting moment in my life more grindingly stressful than 2022 Game 5.

football fans are completely bonkers about dynasty longevity. i've come to think that baseball is just a harder sport. not tougher, but certainly harder.

I've never noticed that We the People tattoo before. At least that's what I think it reads.

No Machado or Tatis for the Friars today...against our lineup of death? We are losing 2-1 today, aren't we?

That's a good comparison, but what did the Mets do when they figured out it wasn't working? Blew it up and started all over again. Are we going to do with that Jimbo? Because he isn't the answer and it isn't working.

Guess we will have to see. We can't exactly trade Ainias Smith for a 5 star in 2 years.

If we're gonna do this here...

Last year was the "failed miserably." We'll see about this year, although the defense is not inspiring confidence).

Tshirt ag fan since 1992 when my little league coach took me to Kyle field.

They care about winning but yes, money is top priority. It's not just A&M, that's college football. But what made A&M special was being special and sadly, they're not that anymore. Just another college program.

I have the entire constitution tattooed on my back. They ran out of room after the 15th Amendment. You don't want to see where they put the other 12
