T.G.

Loup apparently has a body double too.

I think Kate Upton is hot, but she'd be more attractive if she could also sing.

Damn.. is Brooks Robinson still playing 3B for the O's?

Moose!

You don't have to be serious all the time.

Drury thinks he's a silver Slugger. OH wait...

LOL... Tony Gwynn reference on TV. Carew too.

On second thought, I need you to make me a sandwich.

Thanks. I have some other stuff for you to look up. Please stand by.

Nice job by Detmer's body double.

I knew someone would say that... I didn't say he was similar. As long as he gets on base, I'm not concerned. He's probably played more games this year than at any point in his life.

I wonder what Rod Carew's or Tony Gwynn's exit velocity was.

Rengifo was named player of the week. Baseball is a funny game.

When John Lackey signed with the Red Sox he became dead to me.

This is AJ's heartfelt attempt at a reverse jinx.

The Angels top secret scientific staff has successfully cloned Ohtani. The new one will be under team control for the next six years! Genius!

They are also taking the ligament out of the body double and giving it to Ohtani.

I'm also going to guess that you're a Titan alum. Maybe you watched Nevin lead the Titans to a College World Series and have a deep appreciation for him. I'm thinking there has to be some level of connection you're not sharing with us - not that you have to share that. It only makes sense that there's some sort of connection.

I don't know who brought in Salmon and Finley, but I'm going to guess Nevin did have a role in it. I see Nevin as an "old school" guy and he probably relates to "old school" guys like Salmon and Finley. Finley was a grinder. I think Nevin was a grinder. I don't think it's all that far fetched that he had a role in bringing them in. As I said earlier - it doesn't really matter who had the idea. The whole organization needs to be evaluated. Nevin impressed me early on when he seem to have more confidence in his starting pitchers instead of giving them the quick hook. I think it was last year when he had just taken over as the interim manager when he went out to the mound to visit Suarez and most thought he was going to take him out. He didn't. He showed confidence in the player. I liked that. I'm not saying Nevin is the answer. I'm also not saying he's to blame. I really don't know. A number of factors have led to this team sucking this year - and at the top of the list is injuries. Number 2 is pitching. This team was projected to have good pitching and it didn't materialize. Is it because of the analytics? Coaching? How the stars aligned? I have no idea. Lots of fans want to assign blame. I don't give a rip. I'd rather they just find solutions. You don't have to assign blame to find solutions. I've said it before and I'll say it again now. This team has a culture problem. I'm not going to get into that too deep now. Maybe another day. I've also said this before... it all starts with ownership. Arte has failed, but that doesn't necessarily mean he will continue to fail. He seems to be changing - although slowly, he's been different the last couple years. Can he figure it out? I don't know. All I know is he owns the team and that's out of my control. It is what it is. I doubt he's happy with how things have played out. I don't believe that all he cares about his revenue. I think he wants to win - he just doesn't know how. Maye he's learning. Time will tell.

@Swordsman78 - Serious question. Why are you such a staunch supporter of Nevin? I'm genuinely curious. Help us understand why you defend him so much.

I really don't give a rip as to who had the idea to bring these guys in. I say, do whatever it takes to get this team going in the right direction. Given the history of this team over the past decade - everything needs to be evaluated. Everything.

That glove is gigantic!

Another solid episode.
