https://twitter.com/JeffFletcherOCR/status/1684578268362809344?s=20 Joyce's nerve/numbness thing in his hand is scary. Walsh getting DFA'd sucks, I wonder if he is still suffering from whatever weird neuro problems he had all spring. Lopez will be added to the roster for game 2 of the doubleheader today.

Perfect Angels is to pull Ohtani off the market, make the big trade for Lucas and then immediately lose both games to the Tigers today

rickiep00h posted:Dobnak was Game 2, he was hot at the time, and there were 2 other games where the Twins were absolutely slaughtered. He didn't do any worse than Berríos or Odorizzi, the de facto aces for the year. Iirc Odo and Berrios did better than Dobnak in their starts, but I agree with your overall premise regardless. Like Paracaidas said, it ultimately didn't matter. It wasn't the Twins being too cute, there is some sense in trying to line your better starter up at home. It's hardly what cost them, and it's not emblematic of any greater flaw in the way the team is/was run. The valid complaint imo is to take umbrage with the roster construction that necessitated starting Dobnak at all, but there were other very relevant factors like Pineda getting suspended in September and up and down performances from Kyle Gibson/Martín Pérez. Also would the Joe Mauer robbery even be reviewable today with the ump staring right at it?

If that's how it happens, then I can accept it. He's got a pretty nice situation going in terms of how the club handles him, I'm hoping that's worth something to him

The roster & farm system is better than you probably think, and the trade haul would have been nowhere near return value. I was ready to abandon the franchise if they'd traded him because that's the kind of poo poo that curses you for a hundred years

I don’t envy the Angels’ situation. You have reincarnated Ruth and Mantle but still somehow aren’t even close to being a real contender. I wonder if this buying thing is some sort of prove it demand from Ohtani. Otherwise I just don’t see risking it all on a season where there are several elite teams well ahead of even the next tier of teams, and the Angels are behind that next tier.

The right answer was trading Ohtani. But if you hitch your wagon to the idea that losing him is a franchise death knell -- which it seems like Arte did -- then this makes sense because doing whatever you can to keep him is worth it if he stays no matter the farm cost. The worst outcome is that this is their 1 'big' move and they mostly stay pat, they don't have the pitching to really push for contention especially if 2 or 3 others in the middle melee of the AL get measurably better.

I'm personally fine with the Angels choosing to deal their prospects to push for the second wild card spot rather than get a boatload of new prospects Of course there's always the chance Ohtani goes the Trout route at which point we can stop feeling sorry for him like we stopped feeling sorry for Trout

Look you could trade your top prospect for a rental of a quasi ace and reliever and playoff push or you could trade them for 4 years of Daulton Varsho.

If there's a question whether you should buy or sell at the deadline you should always sell. At the same time I will be extremely annoyed if the Cubs get rid of Cody while he's playing like this.

And it's not like the Angels have a great development system. They could trade Ohtani for a bunch of prospects but how many of them are actually going to be big league stars?

The Cubs are definitely one Ohtani away from like 3 straight World Series wins.
