I still have faith in Wash. Neto defense improved and so did others. Look at Adel and others. This season gets a pass. Plus he had to come in and evaluate the team and trim the fat
Merry Christmas & Happy New Year Geoff & Chuck !! Thank you !! Great show !! Wow, so much to think about from the show. I'm hoping we've got a couple more moves left this off season. If we haven't made any moves in January then I doubt we will. For 2025, continue with the kids and the vets we did pick up. Maybe next season will be a continuation of the development in 2024. Obviously, win alot more than 63, I'm hoping ??? to improve by 10 or 12 wins, even win in the 77 range would be awesome compared to this past season. Like you've both said, we desperately need Trout on the lineup for 140+ games. Without Mike, it the same lousy story we've seen for the last 5 yeats. Rendon, backup infielder at best. He would need a huge spring to start again. Its just me but I'm hoping Christian Moore takes the second base job in Tempe. Rengifo would be at third and Newman filling in at short till Zach is healthy. Again we seem to have a log jam in the outfield. Soler hopefully is productive at DH. Trout hopefully can stay healthy in LF. Moniak in CF and Adell in RF. Right now what's Ward's status ? Will we resign Pillar as a 4th OF ? Will Matthew Lugo get an opportunity to become a part of the outfield group ? I'm a fan of Moniak and Adell and 2025 will be huge for them to step up big time to become impact players. Getting the 2nd draft pick next July will be one of the most important decisions in Angels history. If,if it'sJace LaViollette then he could become an all star very quickly. If it's, Ethan Holiday then he could be our future 3rd baseman but being a high school player might take 2+ years in the minors. From all reports he has all star ability. For all of us, the losing sucks, there's a really good chance that we'll be under .500 in 2025, that would be 10 years of a losing record, the highest in the majors. We are hopefully getting better with the kids, it's our only hope. Patience will be needed. We need to let this play out. Oops, almost forgot, Like Moniak and Adell, 2025 will be huge for Detmers. Reid's Angels career is kinda at a crossroad. Something will have to dramatically happen to get him squared away or sadly he'll need a change of scenery to become the pitcher he's capable of and we'll be left with "what could've been" Oops part 2, you are both 1000% right about Shohei and how the front office mis managed his upcoming free agency. We could have gotten so many impact prospects for Shohei. Just like you both said in the Soto trade to the Padres, the Nationals got so many prospects. Take good care everyone Go Angels !!!!
Perry SUCKS! The Angels just love spending money to remain perpetually average, don't they? They've assembled this "All-Star" lineup of underwhelming role players like it's going to save the franchise. Yusei Kikuchi? Solid in spurts, but not exactly the ace to fix their rotation woes. Kevin Newman? Oh, good-a shortstop with a bat so cold it might actually cool off California summers. Kyle Hendricks? The guy's pitching style is so soft they might as well call him batting practice. Travis d'Arnaud? If he can stay healthy for 20 games, it'll be a miracle. And Jorge Soler? Sure, he'll hit 20 bombs, but good luck getting him to hit anything All this, just to finish 4th in the AL West again
@@adrianacev7579 this is my grievance with this inept organization. If you don’t agree with my “take” then why don’t you enlighten me on where I went wrong because I’m sure your opinion is sooo much more valid and logical
@@Dr_Doom14 I agree. The Angels are in a grey area - Not rebuilding and not competing. The team is just existing at this point. One of the lowest stadium attendance as well, and I don't see that changing anytime soon. It's sad.
@@DoubleDown310 They were actually 13th in attendance last year. OC has a great fanbase. He has a top 10 fanbase and refuses to build a winner. Oh! and he's a billionaire who has the money to do so.. One of the many examples of how inept Arte is as an owner.
Congrats on the 20th anniversary!
Merry Christmas Everyone!

@@adrianacev7579 seems like you haven’t seen the angels the past 10 years
Fun-gao? Why would you say this when speaking about ohtani ? Didn’t rocks in the outfield get canceled for being those kind of comments
