Barely missed hitting the record prediction. Thankful to be wrong about Minasian and Trout. Hit the G-Rod prediction w/ 1.1 IP to spare, whiffed on Soriano, and nailed the Neto prediction (although he was brutal to watch.) Could not have predicted Arte would finally sell. So stoked about that.

If the #6 seed in the AL cannot manage to finish with a record more than 2+ games over .500, I think there should be no #6 seed. If that’s the case. #1 gets a bye and plays the winner of #4 vs #5, and then #2 plays #3 in the other ALDS. Stop rewarding mediocrity.

I think it is great that Blake Snell crawls out of his gaming dungeon every five or six days to strike out 8-10 dudes and walk 3-4 in 5 innings or so while giving up 0-2 run(s).

I tried to encapsulate how deeply fucked the Halos were under Arte Moreno in my essay for the @baseballprospectus.com annual, and I think I did OK, but this is the definitive piece. Kudos to @bymccullough.bsky.social & Sam Blum for doing the Lord’s work. www.nytimes.com/athletic/756...

How Arte Moreno’s meddling, myopia and penny-pinching doomed the Angels for a decade (Gift Article)

Moreno spent on stars, skimped everywhere else, and squandered the primes of two of baseball's greatest players as the franchise languished.

No quicker way to my heart than to hit an absolute nuke in your first MLB game, explode with joy as you round the bases, and then rip a guitar solo (with pick slides!) on a goddamn trident in the dugout. Hell yeah, Lazaro Montes!

Arte Moreno bought the Angels in 2003 (the year after they won the Series) for $184 million. He then spent 23 years running them into the ground, let the stadium decay, wasted Trout and Ohtani, and sold for $4 billion. And the owners are crying poverty and threatening to kill baseball next year.

Arte Moreno is one of the worst owners in modern baseball history and was so bad at the business of baseball that he declined to participate in the endgame of the Ohtani free agency, but one good thing you can say about him is, uh, well,

There’s been a lot of talk lately about how owners view teams solely as sources of revenue (as opposed to sources of revenue that would increase revenue by being a good team). The Astros firing their GM and manager in late-August while they’re atop a truly dogshit division is not helping.
