You know this franchise needs a shake up. It’s been atrocious for how many years? This is exactly like the Angels if Shinobi isn’t playing. It’s a wasted ticket. Why am I gonna spend money for something this bad to watch when Dodgers are doing good.
Maybe if this team gets its act together I’ll spend money with my kids on it. Other than that? No I wont spend a dollar on it. Murray needs to go
I guess you might be a definition of a fair weather fan.
You only want to watch stars when they show up on gameday, which is why you only care about Ohtani when the Angels play versus the Dodgers' cast of stars on a daily basis? Sounds like you're a Dodger fan than an Angel fan, considering the Angels also do have Trout and Rendon.
Since we're on this Angels tangent. The Angels haven't seen .500 for the past five seasons. It may be six consecutive seasons the way the season is going today. The Angels haven't been to the playoffs in six seasons. The Angels are lacking pitching and all around talent. Their prospect pool isn't great with only two players of note: OF Adell and P Detmers, but both are probably a season or two away. After that, not much. Pujols' contract ends this season and that will give the Angels more money to hopefully throw at a starting pitcher instead of yet another hitter.
Anaheim has missed the playoffs for the past three seasons and prior to that, they were playoff bound for six consecutive seasons as well as winning five consecutive Pacific Division titles. The Ducks have accumulated a lot of youthful talent all the while and is set to add a significant piece in the draft with a guaranteed top-4 selection. There's a lot of promise with the youth group, especially with the drafting of Zegras (2019) and Drysdale (2020) along with the potential of D Fleury, a 2020 TDL acquisition. This off-season, the Ducks have cap space to play with to acquire a top-6 forward.
The ultimate goal of any team is to acquire as many talented players as possible. The more you have, the better the chances of going further in the season and playoffs. Things are looking good for the moment. Let's see what the off-season brings.
