MLB organizations currently in a worse state than the Angels

[Taylor]

Maybe the A's and the Pirates? The Nationals?

We have to be a bottom 5 organization.

I was expecting a blank post... missed opportunity

I'm sure Arte has a good relationship with his bank.

Depending on how big of a deal you consider the Rays stadium crisis, them as well

But at least they're competitive. Will most likely take a WC spot this season.

The Pirates are actually fun to watch from time to time. 

They have players that actually square up on a baseball every now and then. 

Really nice stadium, pretty sweet jerseys too.

This was a truly troubling typo

It's crazy that there are 7 MLB teams with worse records than the Angels this season. There are some very crappy teams in the NL.

The A’s on the verge of a beautiful new waterfront stadium.  However. It’s still Oakland and Tarpy’s tears may flood that bay.

Kind of. I want to be proud of the team I follow. Not just because they play well on the field, but because they have a solid organization from top to bottom. It felt that way from 2002-2009, and I miss it.

Reds are worse off right now for sure and they have a lot more history.

The Angels are my favorite team and I enjoy it when they win, but I don’t think of them as a source of pride. I don’t have that kind of attachment. Perhaps that’s unusual for a fan?

I think it just means your brain works.

I think among the clubs in comparable situations the Angels are definitely the worst.  Personally I don’t see much point comparing the Angels to the Pirates.  And that’s not to give the Pirates ownership people a pass.  They shouldn’t own a Major League Baseball team.  But the Pirates situation is a lot different in terms of revenue potential.

The Pirates have won the World Series five times.

Excellent!  They won in 1979 btw.  Very cool.  All of that.  Anyway.  The Angels are a much more significant organization in terms of marketability, revenue potential.  Important things for the business of baseball.

None since Olivia Munn was born.

I can't believe we are only three games better than the Royals. They fucking suck.

[OregonLAA]

None

The Pirates have an equal number of wins and one more loss.

You can argue that the Angels are the worst off when you consider the major league talent and the minor league system.  Most sites have Angels as 5 worst minor league system and the latest fangraphs ranks them 28 out of 30.  

 

[Swordsman78]

Only 1 team wins the World Series.  Then there is everyone else.

Who cares if your team gets a wild card and gets eliminated in Round 1.

If that happens to the Angels  everyone says Trout is being wasted.

Only 2 teams win the Pennant.  If that happens with the Angels and they  lose the WS, everyone would say Trout is being wasted.

The Angels have Trout and Ohtani.  That alone puts them in the Top half of teams.

Alot of HOF players never got a ring.   Some guys in the HOF due to "rings" don't deserve to be there too.

Guys need to chill on the ring mandate for Trout.   #44 never got a ring, either did Ted Williams,
