NYS is such a joke.

 

[rage1973]

Angels starting rotation of Weaver, Wilson, Greinke, and Haren is just ridiculous.
Dipoto is a brilliant GM.
I was so happy when Tony Regains got removed.

 

[Enron]

Too bad Haren stinks this year!

a brilliant GM with a huge checkbook must be difficult.

 

[Doogdogg]

Alright Cherrington, make calls to get Beckett out of town.

 

[sangreal]

I actually thought they agreed to expand replay to foul balls down the line ages ago

Johan: *laughs*

Ask the Mets. or Marlins. I guess Phillies get a pass for the past success. Cubs?

 

[rando14]

Jesus christ, Angels have too much fucking money.

 

[evil solrac v3.0]

fuuuuuu... hopefully Greinke goes cookoo out in La-La Land.

 

[JABEE]

Come on Fontenot.

Don't hate.
Maybe one day your team will move to a city that draws more than 20k a game.

YES finally an Angels fan is here! I've been waiting for this day.

He is right.

It's hard to open up your checkbook and sign Pujols and Wilson ... and trade away prospects for others because you know you can replenish them in the free agent market.

Angels came from Tony Reagins who traded for Scott Kazmir and Vernon f'en Wells.
Free agent market is still a crapshoot.
Have you seen free agent signings like Crawford, Soriano, and John Lackey?
Pujols signing is going to be costly especially at later years in the contract but it was a needed splash that the Angels had to make.

 

[Fenix]

YOTU, Rasmus was waaay safe.

 

[rage1973]

Also this trade is a win win for the Angels because it also keeps Greinke from the Rangers.
Supposedly Rangers said no to Olt for Greinke so Brewers made the trade to the Angels.

Ok but what is "brilliant" about signing the without a doubt 2 best free agents on the market in the offseason?

West Coast Yankees.

Probably a good idea on the Rangers part. Olt will be good.

 

[Doogdogg]

has anyone suggested to Hughes he'd make a good HR Derby pitcher?

 

[Dominican Power]

RUSSY!!!

 

[Fenix]

And now that blown call has directly cost the Jays a run.

Edit: Jeff Mathis GBOAT.

 

[cashman]

Hamilton's laziness costs darvish a run and 7 pitches.

 

[RobotHaus]

Doesn't Greinke have issues in big cities? Like serious anxiety or mental issues? I wonder how he'll fare.

 

[Fenix]

2 outs, turn Gose loose!

Fucking fast holy shit.

Social Anxiety Order but it looks like he has it under control.

 

[Fenix]

Don't kill yourself Gose, only a 1 man bench tonight.

 

[CygnusXS]

Messy start for Hamels. He's walked Freeman and Janish twice, each. Terrible.

 

[Karakand]

a brilliant GM with a huge checkbook must be difficult.

More or less difficult than being a GM still coasting on making stupid scouts look stupid in a book and mimicking conditions in other industries for an unambitious, perpetually declining in value team?

 

[cashman]

Let's be real though, Pujols was a bad signing and Greinke is a bit of an overpay. I'd cool it with the Jerry DiPoto is a brilliant GM talk.

 

[eznark]

Brewers got a good haul, but I don't like the players involved. I seem to be in the minority (but I'm also probably in the minority in that I actually watched Segura play).

 

[CygnusXS]

DiPoto is in the Pokemon Trainer class of GM, like Amaro before him. The "Gotta catch 'em all" approach, if you will.

 

[CygnusXS]

McCann!

 

[To Far Away Times]

Dat Angels pitching staff.

 

[Dmncnby2k9]

DiPoto is in the Pokemon Trainer class of GM, like Amaro before him. The "Gotta catch 'em all" approach, if you will.

He has the Elite Four.

 

[ConradCervantes]

Goodbye, sweet prince.

Overall, I'm quite pleased with the haul. I look forward to seeing Segura play someday, it seems like forever since we had an offensively productive shortstop.

Hopefully Greinke doesn't get frazzled by the LA media and pressure. Quite the different atmosphere.

 

[cashman]

Hamilton looks mentally checked out this game.

Holy fucking shit, ether.

 

[Fenix]

Why do you slide ALL THE FUCKING TIME Lawrie?

Edit: Omar Vizquel triple, lol.

 

[weekend_warrior]

Eppely better just be up so he can drill someone in head, I am sick of that fucker blowing games.

 

[Adam Blade]

Oh hai Enron

 

[Malo]

Curtis granderslam!

 

[Y2Kev]

nothing like playing boston to get out of a slump

 

[weekend_warrior]

The Grandyman can!

 

[Dominican Power]

The Grandy Man.

 

[lucius]

Guess I can watch the Olympics now.

[RBH]

Another great start for Ben Sheets.

 

[Fenix]

Snider mah boiiiiii.

 

[cashman]

Good job, Good effort Hamilton.

 

[RBH]

Sounds like Braves are being creative. Scout linked them to Wade Davis, who has not started this year, but is cheaper than Shields.
