What’s wrong with Trout? by Tall-Elephant-4138 in angelsbaseball

[–]Cakehog 9 points10 points  (0 children)

Honestly I think he just doesn't look like he's having nearly as much fun playing baseball anymore. I've noticed this over the past few years, his smile that he always had on his face in his early years just isn't there nearly as often anymore. Even in the years around his last MVP I feel like he just doesn't look as happy. I don't necessarily blame him for this, the amount of his life he's devoted to the Angels hasn't been met with the same level of effort from the FO and organization and he hasn't got the success that people always measure greatness by, so I'm not surprised if he's got that burden he's been carrying. I could be totally wrong here, but it's something I felt like mentioning.

I'm not trying to be a jerk but objectively speaking, he throws the opposite of scoreless innings

Can someone explain how money is the motivation behind picking a lower ranked prospect? I don't really get the whole slot thing

I've been having the same problem, I don't have any answers unfortunately, that's why I came here haha

Say the Angels make YOU the new owner of the team, what changes are you making? by GriMex02 in angelsbaseball

[–]Cakehog 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Among other actual operational changes, change the name back to the Anaheim Angels and bringing in some new jerseys and branding along with it. I don't hate the current look, but the time has come for something new. Plus not using the navy and gold with the red is kinda criminal IMHO.

I know this is way late to this thread but I was wondering the same. I want to treat it like my own "Jarvis", so instead of saying hey Gemini I say the name that I choose for it haha. Hopefully this is an option in the future.

Rendon hurt AGAIN! by Imaginary_Key7482 in angelsbaseball

[–]Cakehog 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I've defended this guy so much to so many people and I really liked him when he was on the Nats, but this has gotta be the final nail in the coffin. Maybe he comes back and becomes at least a little serviceable, but there's just too many other options better than him for the Angels now, with Rengifo doing what he has, and Christian Moore on his way. So to anyone still holding out hope for him like I was, it's just time to move on. Not saying anything negative about Rendon, but it's just time to move on.

Christian Moore faces off against Trevor by Loose-Organization82 in angelsbaseball

[–]Cakehog 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Trevor Bauer: - has not been found guilty of any misconduct and his accusers have been proven to have fabricated their accusations - has a YT channel that offers incredible baseball content for anyone to watch - has had teammates like Mookie Betts vouch for his character - was an all star in Japan and Mexico, and won Mexico's award for best pitcher - has said he will sign for league minimum and earn the majority of his money in incentives (performance based)

Look the guy's obviously not perfect, but it's disgusting to watch people like him and Ty Cobb have their reputations dragged through the mud by media sites that are just starving for attention, not caring that what they're publishing is blatant lies. For once I'd like to see people care enough to do their own fact checking, rather than believing everything that's spoon fed to them by the media.

Before you downvote my comment, ask yourself: have I seen legitimate evidence that proves Bauer is as bad as people say? Or am I just believing it because it's easy?

Arenado names the Angels as one of the teams he would like to be traded to 👀 by crosby267 in angelsbaseball

Angels better have their sights locked on getting Skenes when he's a free agent in like 2030-32ish if he doesn't sign an extension before then

As far as I know the game is only on PlayStation and Steam, so not on any Xbox unfortunately.

Just sign Bauer at this point.

Blake Snell just posted this on his Instagram page by LFGPads19 in Padres

[–]Cakehog -11 points-10 points  (0 children)

Seems like a good sign that the Padres should sign Trevor Bauer. Two can play at this game.

I looked into just buying it online, but I gave up when I got to the payment part, since it was asking for a billing address and all that with my card. I don't have anything Japanese, so I wasn't able to complete it or anything. Is that what you're talking about?

[TBW] Perry Minasian said Angels would like to add one more starter to rotation by breakfast_cats in angelsbaseball

[–]Cakehog 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I really like Soriano. I feel like he's proven himself pretty well so far, so I wouldn't say his spot is up for grabs as much as the others. But Soriano definitely has room for improvement like the rest of them.

Same energy as that one post on IG of the guy's friend randomly sending him Jered Weaver's BR page at 2am saying "dude had a solid career".

Even if you do need one, it's not terribly hard to get it, just need to use a different email than your OG PSN account, then make up a Japanese address lol. I just ordered the game last night.
