Special team meeting

still waiting for the first full-fledged meltdown in here

Hot take

6-2 start isn't indicative of their true talent level

2-10 since their 6-2 start isn't indicative of their true talent level

That said, this is probably a team that's winning 76-82 games and missing the postseason so there's that

They peaked too soon.

I don't know about special at all. I think they're about what Fangraphs win projections had them at; they're a team that could win 84-86 games. They're definitely scrappy and annoying for opponents. I saw that early in spring training with all the come from behind wins in games that didn't matter. They've had some miracle comebacks already, some heartbreakers too that could have been wins. Things are about how they should be. I wouldn't say they're anything special where they exceed expectations and win 95+ which would be "special". But there's some magic for sure, when you lose the guys we have to injury already and have Bud Norris closing out games without much problem...

They're a team that could win 84-86 games IF their starting pitching holds up. But now Skaggs may be injured and Richards is on the 60-day DL, and may be out until the Sanders presidency.

Good call.

[Angel Oracle]

Yet another mediocre season (THREE in a row), hope that trend ends in the next year or two before Trout is a FA. 

Finishing below .500 = first time for THREE years running since 1992-1994 (a pathetic era).

I feel better... had to check this whole thread to make sure I didn’t post anything stupid.

Same thing with me.....I did say Richards staying healthy was a key.....he didn't and it was, last year as well as this year...

I wouldn't trade Simmons, but if we're waaaaaaaay out of it in July I would look at trading Calhoun. 

Good luck with this!

Correct. You can probably state that every year he’s on the Angels roster. Hell, you can state that for any team that he ends up signing with too.
