In a span of three games the
#Angels
game has been broadcasted on Apple TV+, Bally Sports West and now Peacock.
Having people pay for different subscriptions to watch the game isn’t how you grow this sport. Not to mention MLBTV blocking out your local teams.
When a pitcher leads all of MLB with 33 bombs and blasts this one at 463 feet.
You get your teammates reacting like this.

5 things I want to see in 2021 (MLB):
1. Mike Trout in the postseason
2. The Padres eliminate the Dodgers
3. A full season of 2018 Shohei Ohtani
4. Gerrit Cole ERA over 4.00
5. Mets miss on playoffs
Dear
@Angels
, on behalf of all of the
#Angels
fan base I think it's time we finally retire Tim Salmon's number 15 this season. No one has ever worn it since and we've been waiting forever for his number to be retired. Thank you.
The
@Angels
and
@BallySportWest
team need to get the announcers in the stadiums for away games. At this point it’s extremely hard to watch while covering two of the best players in the game.
It’s unprofessional. PLEASE GET THEM IN THOSE BOOTHS.
#Angels
#Angels
likely showed Gerrit Cole 3 things. A blank check, Joe Maddon and Mike Trout. Likely said they want the best pitcher in baseball to be on the same team as the best player in baseball.
Personally, I don’t believe all the Yankees buzz
22-year-old third baseman Munetaka Murakami became the first Japanese-born player to hit 50 home runs in a professional season since Hideki Matsui in 2002
Can’t wait for that comp pick 🤦🏼♂️
Now, Arte can officially sell the team. His last goal of saying “F-You” to the Angels fans has been completed. Thanks, Arte.
100% happy for Ohtani. Dude deserves a team that is built properly.
Speaking for the majority of the
#Angels
fan base I am extremely disappointed in this decision.
Arte needs to leave and this is an almost guarantee Ohtani will be gone.
Today, the
#Angels
announced that the Moreno Family is ending the exploratory process to sell the team and will continue ownership throughout the 2023 Season and beyond.
Blake Snell traded to the Padres.
Another great pitcher leaves the American League.
If the
#Angels
can make a trade for an Ace and sign
@BauerOutage
then we’d become heavy favorites.
Your move,
@Angels
Offense = Good
Starting pitching = Good
Bullpen = Trash
Should be an easy fix for Minasian. I’m not worried.
Joyce, Murphy, Torres and C-Rod are waiting.
Mike Trout mentioning one of the reasons he signed was he “liked the direction the organization was going”.
It’s your move, Arte and Perry. That was said a couple years ago and we’re still waiting for those results…
#Angels
Mike Trout: "There was a lot of talk about going back to Philly"
Fans: "BOOOOOOOO"
Trout: "It never crossed my mind. I was going to be an Angel for life"

Offseason predictions:
1: Maddon becomes manager.
2: Gerrit Cole becomes an Angel
3: Angels sign one of Wheeler/Odorizzi/Bumgarner
4: Angels stay in Anaheim or build new stadium in parking lot
5: Angels trade a major package for another solid starter like Boyd/Thor/Smith
@JonHeyman
You guys are already making what Ohtani is doing seem routine for him. He’s the first player in MLB history with 10+ wins and 30+hrs. That’s more rare than what Judge is doing.
"I served the longest suspension in MLB history. It cost me well over $35M. And you know what? I deserved that."
@AROD
says the Astros deserve whatever comes their way after the lack of remorse they've shown.
I woke up this morning and all I could think about was wanting to tell Mike Trout how sorry I am.
Sorry we couldn’t get you to the playoffs, Mike. You deserve better.
#Angels
are said to still be in on either Ryu, Bumgarner or Keuchel.
I’d like to see them sign for Keuchel and then trade for Kluber. Offseason would look VERY good.
Marcus Stroman is engaging the fans on social media like it’s Trevor Bauer 2.0.
Ultimately he will choose who pays good and where he wants. The fans have limited say in it. I want him as an Angel, but it is what it is.
So who’s left?
There are 2 guys left that are of a healthy age. Marcus Stroman and Carlos Rodon.
If the
#Angels
are betting on Thor to bounce back after injury then they need a durable arm to fill the rotation.
At this rate, it’s Stroman or bust.
Dear, Arte Moreno.
If you raised the payroll to $190M, hired Maddon, had Eppler sign Cole, signed a 2nd tier starter, and still trade for someone amazing then I’ll let you raise parking and beer by $5.
Deal? Okay thanks.
Darin Erstad is the baseball player type you’d teach to your kids. This guy left his heart on the field and would run through a brick wall to get the ball if needed.
#Angels
Ouch. The deferrals make it easier to swallow so this blows my mind. Given the marketing and extra revenue brings to the team, it sounds like a huge miss.
Arte needs to sell.
Can confirm, per source, that the Angels/owner Arte Moreno decided not to match the Dodgers’ 10-year/700-million contract offer for Shohei Ohtani.
His agent, Nez Balelo, said the Angels had “every opportunity” in negotiations.
First reported by Halos beat legend
@ByJackHarris
.
In my opinion, the
#Angels
are in a perfect spot to now acquire Gerrit Cole and Anthony Rendon. This provides an ace of the rotation and protection for Trout in the lineup.
Go Arte go
Go Eppler go
#Angels
backloaded 7yr/$245M contract of Anthony Rendon. From 2020-2026 it breaks down like this:
$25.5M, $27.5M, $36M, $38M, $38M, $38M, $38M.
Angels in a great spot to add much more to make a run.
#Angels
payroll currently sits at around $150.4M. If they can backload a contract to Cole and Strasburg so they make 28M and 25M in year one, then they can afford it. Arte just needs to be willing to open the books since a lot of money will come off soon.
GET IT DONE
Dear
@GerritCole45
, We'd love for you to come home to Southern California by joining the
#Angels
. It would be incredible to see the best pitcher in baseball (you), playing with the best player in baseball, best prospect in baseball and best two-way athlete on one team.
Seeing Trout choke up during the interview breaks my heart. The guy just wants to win but recognizes it doesn’t help when you’re injured.
Not everyday you see a guy making top $ that just wants to win.
Sidenote: he wants to win as an Angel. So the media can F off….
But in all seriousness... The
#Angels
will be a strong playoff candidate team if:
1: Trout/Rendon stay healthy
2: Ohtani/Walsh repeat 2021 season
3: Upton has comeback year
4: One of Marsh/Adell have breakout year.
Bullpen is built for the playoffs. Rotation needs to survive.
#Angels
might be wise to sign Neto to a contract early. Lower AAV at this moment. He’s starting to figure it out and the sky is the limit for this kid 🔥🔥🔥
Can confirm: if the
#Angels
intentionally hit the
#Astros
this year that it will not impact the game. Per report by an MLB owner that the players shouldn’t and won’t be held accountable for it.
For those who haven’t heard the news here you go…
Mike Trout is batting .420 in 69 at bats.
Let the best gifs/best commence, Twitter world.
