Where the fuck did the Angels come from?

Who even pitches for that team?

Southern California.

Nolan Ryan, Mark Langston, Chuck Finley, Mike Witt, and Jarrod Weaver. Helluva rotation.

Parker Bridwell. Brilliant fantasy pickup by me

 

[DirtDirtDirt]

Hinch will win MOY

But Scoscia should run away with it if that team makes the playoffs

Had him and dropped him. Should have kept him for his start against the Mariners and then dropped him. His next start is in Baltimore. Good luck with that.

If the Twins make the playoffs, Paul Molitor needs to be considered.

For sure

 

[soxfan1468927]

For sure

I think Bud Black or Torey Lovullo are going to win in the NL.

That will sting a little.

It is a weekly league and my only other starting option I had was Berrios who is up against Cleveland this week and he's been pitching like shit for quite a while now

Meh. That's what Pickles and some others are saying over at Zig's too. The Angels have a negative run differential. A negative run differential is not a reflection of good managing. They are 16-11 since Trout returned. Maybe Trout should be considered for MVP rather than Scoscia for MOY. Trout will be 90/40/90 in only 115 games by the time the season is over and will lead the league in OPS. Might catch Altuve in BA too.

Gotcha. I see our conundrum. But his start in Baltimore is next week. Can you swap him out before then?

I think a negative run differential with a positive winning percentage, plus 21-15 in 1-run games, is a sign of good managing.

Nope lineups are locked in once the first pitch takes place every Monday. Parker is scheduled to pitch this Saturday in Baltimore so nope can't swap the two.

Well, I expected you to disagree with me. I'd be disappointed if you didn't.

OH yeah, sorry. Forgot what day it was. I've been on extended vaca since my wife inherited buco bucks. I tend to forget what day it is sometimes. I had Saturday in my head for some dumbass reason.

Well, that start may hurt you. Baltimore is mashing right now. Machado is finally waking up. I hope it works out for you.

Well I'm glad that I didn't let you down.

So what's the record for consecutive games with a strikeout? Asking for a friend.

36! Judge gets to tie and break the record this weekend at Fenway.

their pythag is 59-60 and theyve been outscored this year 511 to 515. outside of bridwell, their rotation is atrocious.

Please pray for me

so the fat girl in my office who loves country, gave her notice. shes going to work for a huuuuge multinational corporation. shes been at this company since she graduated high school. this is all she knows, small company environment. this is the same girl who, not kidding, misses days or leaves suddenly because of her kid at least 4 times a month.
theyve been very lenient with her here, obviously. shes gonna get a rude awakening in the real corporate world, where its PTO and sick days or you dont get paid...or worse.
