📝 Discussion My Games Watched This Season

Post image
• Upvotes

This season I managed to watch 105 games on MLB.tv with ~8 national broadcasts added on. Living in Hawaii being able to get off work in time to watch games was rough but happy to suffer through it all with you. How many games did you all witness? Would love to see your stats!

I know my fellow game thread lurkers and commenters are probably close to all 162!

📝 Discussion Projected 2027 arbitration salaries for the Angels: 11 cases, $31.2M total

20 Upvotes

I built my own arbitration model and ran it on the Angels' 2027 class, ahead of the non-tender deadline in late November.

Player Pos Class Projected Likely range
Zach Neto SS Arb 2 (Super Two) $8.7M $8.2M to $9.8M
Reid Detmers SP Arb 3 (Super Two) $5.9M $5.4M to $6.7M
Josh Lowe LF Arb 2 $3.6M $3.4M to $4.0M
Nolan Schanuel 1B Arb 1 $2.6M $2.4M to $3.1M
Jose Siri CF Arb 2 $2.3M $2.2M to $2.6M
Grayson Rodriguez SP Arb 1 $1.9M $1.7M to $2.2M
Tyler Heineman C Arb 2 $1.6M $1.5M to $1.8M
Tayler Saucedo RP Arb 2 $1.4M $1.3M to $1.5M
Oswald Peraza 2B Arb 1 $1.2M $1.1M to $1.5M
Sam Bachman RP Arb 1 (Super Two) $1.0M $0.9M to $1.1M
Ben Joyce RP Arb 1 $0.9M $0.8M to $1.0M

Total: 11 cases, $31.2M projected.

These use the current CBA's rules. A new deal this winter (a higher minimum, say) would move them.

Who would you non-tender, and who would you try to extend first?

📝 Discussion Former halos in the playoffs

36 Upvotes

I've been watching the postseason pretty sporadically but it's been fun watching so many familiar faces pop up. Unfortunately many aren't doing great.

Victor Mederos just got yanked after allowing 2 hits and a walk against the doyers, including a 2 run HR.

Jo Adell struck out three[EDIT: 4!] times for Cleveland today.

Marsh and Jam Jones both got starts although both their teams are out of it now.

Randal Grichuk doing his platoon thing, and obviously Shohei.

Any other former halos you guys are watching/rooting for?

Edit: forgot about Iglesias and Suter out of the pen in Atlanta

❓Question/Suggestions I have a take, I'm not sure you're going to like it: I think it's time for a new Rally Monkey

0 Upvotes

Look. I was in second grade in 2001. The first Angels game I ever went to was Game 2 of the ALCS. The magic of that run was what made me a lifelong Angels fan; as a kid, I had dozens of plush Rally Monkeys in my room. I even made the broadcast once with my monkey chain.

But I want to offer that when you lose more games than you win for 11 straight years, maybe your "good luck" charm isn't that lucky anymore? The actual monkey in the footage (also played Marcel in Friends) is 30 years old and will likely pass on soon.

I'm not saying we need to ditch the mascot entirely, but maybe it's time to ditch the 26-year-old footage and do a refresh? Didn't the luck run out like....8 years ago.

Fresh ownership. Fresh start. Fresh mascot. It's time.

❓Question/Suggestions Offseason spending during an ownership transfer

8 Upvotes

How would we spend on free agency during an ownership transfer? Would it be Morenos money or Kroenkes money since Moreno still owns the team until the first quarter of 27?

📝 Discussion With the White Sox winning their first playoffs series since 2005, only the Cincinnati Reds who haven't won a playoffs series since 1995 have it worse than us in that regards

60 Upvotes

Pirates is a weird caveat cause they won the wild card game in 2013 which advanced them in the playoffs. Same for the Rockies in 2018.

I guess the better wording would be when it comes to advancing in some way or form during the playoffs, only the Reds have a longer drought than the Angels

📜 Angels History Mike Trout’s MLB Debut Ticket Display

Post image
119 Upvotes

Finally got around to putting together a display for my Mike Trout MLB debut ticket. I was able to get it signed earlier this year and had PSA take care of the rest!

I’ve always thought his debut ticket was a pretty cool piece of Angels history.

Not necessarily the most expensive item in the collection, but definitely one of the more meaningful ones.

Figured I’d share it with the Angels crowd!

For those that don't know, an iceberg chart is a categorical tool in which items at the top of the chart are the most recognizable, and those at the bottom of the most esoteric/ niche. Please tell me if I missed anything you think is noteworthy. (Besides the AA team winning, I already know, I didn't include farm stuff for the most part).
