Did anyone flip a table or take a bat to a water cooler? Did anyone cry?

If not, what’s the point?

[Jeff Fletcher]

Bob was there when we were talking to Wash. I was thinking “oh this is cool because I just wrote about this last week. And now it’s a nice lead note on a day that nothing is going on.”

I didn’t think it was anything important enough to tweet before actually writing my story. 
 

Then about 30 minutes later, I see that Bob’s tweet has people losing their minds with speculation. So I had to tweet to tell people what really happened. 

[Stradling]

I’m shocked that anyone would “lose their minds” in speculation.

16-32 after the 9-9 start

A lot to talk about 

26-41 yikes. 

I'm not going to even pretend to be excited about this team until they hit .500, emotional meeting or not. 

[Stradling]

There’s plenty to be excited about, it simply isn’t the record.

As I’m not one who watches day to day, please enlighten me on the plenty to get excited about. Is it the occasional good game from Neto and flashes from Soriano as a starter? 

[Dtwncbad]

Maybe we should all get together and have an emotional fan meeting?

It’s the young players, yes. Occasional good game?

It’s not that shocking, considering a national reporter tweeted something with no context and used the word “emotional,” which could be interpreted in many different ways.

(and yes, I know you’re being sarcastic)

Maybe a bit harsh on Neto, considering he's got an OPS+ of 102 now.  

 

So we have Neto and O'hoppe who look like they have a chance of being above average regulars, and Soriano has shown flashes he can be a legitimate good starter.  Maybe I'm setting the bar too high but hard for me to consider that plenty to get excited about.

I really wish we still had the jerkoff emoji.

Don't forget Schanuel's nice -0.5 WAR this year.  

I think it's mostly just cope, but I can understand it.  Deep down, most fans on this board know this franchise has a lot more pain ahead before things have a chance of improving. 

Most of these kids are nice, complementary players at best but there's not much else going on.  I would call it more "mild amusement" than excitement, but I guess if you can't get excited about these guys then there's nothing else to really get excited about.

They’re going to win tonight, we’re going to think they’re so back because of this meeting, and then they’re going to lose 5 straight after that. 

Yep

[wopphil]

All the team meetings in the world won’t put talent on this roster. This team is in bad shape. The organization is in horrific shape. It isn’t the players’ fault that the front office and ownership haven’t given them a team capable of winning. 

[fan_since79]

It is becoming more apparent that we may be in for a lengthy rebuild. I see Neto and O'Hoppe as keepers but can't think of anyone else offhand besides Rengifo. Of course, Trout stays.

Most of this team could be replaced without much damage to our winning chances.

Schanuel, Adell, Soriano. 

[m0nkey]

Will be surprised if Adell is a key part of the next angels winning team(s). Too early either way for schanuel considering he wasn’t even drafted 12 months ago but he doesn’t scream blue chip franchise cornerstone right now.

He doesn’t have to be a blue chip cornerstone player. He can be a very solid player for a long time.

He can be anything.

He looks like he could be a guy who hits 25 homers and leads the league in strike outs and caught stealing to me at this point.
