Great show guys! It's easier for me to see this on You Tube than on AW but you're appreciated! I am a big Adell fan and would love for him to get regular playing time. I understand Hicks and Sano are more established but Adell is more of the future of the franchise than those two put together. It seems the Angels are still in pressure win mode and aren't looking at the big picture.
Great show guys, thank you !! Victor, my wife and I will be in Ft Myers/Estero in a few weeks. You and your family are blessed to live there. We'll never leave Orange County but your area would be #1 on the list if we did. 1000% agree on playing all the kids all the time. Making adjustments with a tough pitching match up. Jerking them in and out of the line up is not productive. It messes up their confidence and when they do start, they press and try too hard and that's not good. C'mon Wash, the kids are ready and our future. Let them play. Sano and Hicks are probably one and done. Using the no expectations philosophy has really helped me so far this season. Really enjoying the wins and not worrying about the losses. I hate losing like all of us but keeping it in perspective that this is a growth season and the inner calm of no expectations really makes it more fun to watch our improvements. I'm hoping for a .500 season, with some luck maybe 84/85 wins but this is the beginning of a new era. Angels fan since 1961, geez I'm old !!!! Take good care Go Angels !!!!
When do you guys think fans will realize nothing will change until Arte has nothing to do with the organization?? When do you think the fans will realize this team isn't winning anything in the next 3 years??
Another great podcast. Two things. First, I remember listening to Victor on the ANGELS games and always liked how he never talked too much (most announcers seem to talk just to hear themselves). Victor always had the right amount of verbiage. Sometimes when watching or listening to a baseball game you just need to absorb it. I don’t care if Rendon has hit the ball to left center 6 times at an exit velocity of 95mph when there was a full moon the day before. My point is Victor always knew when a few words would suffice. After listening to podcast 34 I guess that ship has sailed. I know he was under a time constraint but, wow. Maybe he’s making up for lost time. I’m just kidding. His knowledge and insight is sorely needed in baseball and that is why I’ll be listening to all the Angels Win future podcasts. Second point, you guys have alluded to the fact that the Angels do a poor job of celebrating former players. Have you seen Rod Carew’s statement a few days ago. Very reveling and reinforces your point. I’ll admit I am a huge Carew fan but how can a team not embrace his star power and show appreciation for what he did as both a baseball player and a person?

Biggest concern I have right now is all of Perry’s acquisitions have been busts and Nolan and Neto look lost at the plate

The article on Rod Carew was in the la times April 10. Written by Mike Digiovanna.
