The Angels have 2 players of the month!

[WicketMaiden]

Shohei Ohtani is AL Player of the Month for a second consecutive month after adding the award for July to the one he won for June. He is the first player to win back to back awards since 2012.

Shohei's July: 9 HRs; 19 RBI; 16 Walks; .282/ .396/ .671 as a hitter. 1.35 ERA, 17 K's and 1 Walk in 20 innings pitching.

Raisel Iglesias is AL Reliever of the Month for July: 1.93 ERA; 19 K's and 1 Walk in 14 innings. 

Great stuff from pretty much our only competent reliever.

Obligatory...

Great month of baseball to get us right back into the playoff picture!

Shohei is an oasis in the desert of the Angels' 2021 season.

a playoff team doesn't need something like this.  Minasian was probably astounded by the lack of interest.

It’s possible there were some good offers out there.  I’m just saying.

Minasian's comment about not wanting to give up on this team this year would appear to indicate the Angels didn't want to move him. Dumb move in my book but there you go, what do I know?

and how's he helping us now?  I'm sure those 18 innings over the rest of the season to get us 84 wins are gonna be incredibly memorable.

This is like getting student of the month at a continuing education school.

They didnt want to risk blowing the leads Bundy hands over.

Plus they knew Ohtani is tight with Iglesias and didnt want to ruin that.

They just mixed up which one.

Should change this thread title to...

Angels have two players left on the roster this month.

He went south and caught record levels of shrimp, does this mean the Angels will win next year?
