There's a lot of little and big things I don't like about the Angels, but the Nevin hire is breaking my brain. This is blatant punting and really hard to spin as anything other than wasting another year of Trout and Ohtani.

Hiring a lame duck guy does make some sense with ownership being in future limbo but I'd guess he has the locker room otherwise why not go with basically anyone else in house. Except Jeremy Reed, gently caress that guy

That's a reasonable take but I'm still mad. The writing was on the wall at the trade deadline, if they were planning on punting 2023 they should've traded Ohtani. Better for Ohtani's legacy, the organization's future and the sport in general.

Maybe they're hoping their team will get healthy in 2023 and compete. And if it doesn't they can still trade Ohtani.

'hope to do well' and 'hire Nevin' do not overlap in the venn diagram, IMO

Arte on the way out and Nevin sticking around sure makes it look like the Angels are punting on 2023. Ohtani highlights aside I am very much checked out.

My hopes for next season are in the basement, digging out a second basement.

The "absurdly preliminary" '23 ZiPS projections just leaving current FAs out of it entirely, have Atlanta leading MLB at 96 wins somehow?

Angels above .500? lol no

Why does the internet like to bring Verlander's wife into the mix? I mean, I know why, it's just creepy and awkward. I would not pay what JV is asking.

should trade Adell for Kelenic, just to see what happens

With the right context, the Angels are making some good moves.

I appreciate Cohen taking a sledgehammer to the poor MLB owners farce. This is good for the players and the game.

Wonder what this means about Ohtani's future.

is it too late to get on the Orioles bandwagon

between the Arte backstab and the Bees moving to upper-middle class suburbia, it hasn't been a good week

now every stupid thing Arte does is going to feel 10x worse. I'm just not having a good time

I'd vote for a dedicated cheating thread.
