@J_R_R_Talkin @bestofStarTrek My pleasure!

@J_R_R_Talkin @bestofStarTrek Some really great stories... if you are a fan of the Borg as villains, you should track these stories down and read them!

@mclv147 @TheBabylonBee You missed one:

@JackJanes_ Pitching him in Game 162 instead of Yusei Kikuchi if we go into it at 62-99 would be a good point.

@_IamtheManager @Roger774501171 Not only that it was the first time 8 teams made the postseason and the best record wasn't included! They were robbed.

@BBGreatMoments Was that not also the year where the Angels put out a lineup later in the season than any team ever in which all 9 batters were currently hitting .300?

@J_R_R_Talkin @bestofStarTrek But seem to be somewhat derivative of Fred Saberhagen's Berserkers.

@lissablood99 @lady_valor_07 Missed me by THAT much!

@sadhalosfan27 Look at his usage patterns... Frequently uses good pitchers in low leverage and poor ones in high leverage. 4-14 record in extra innings because he has already used up any good pitcher who could've been available.

[Rick Retro @RickRetroDotCom]

@sadhalosfan27 According to WAR earned by the bullpen this year alone, 9 teams have worse pens than the Angels. Their problems this year are 95% due to mismanaging by Suzuki.

@gptix @TheCriticalDri1 Why?

[Rick Retro @RickRetroDotCom]

@kiid_Amauri94 @AngelsBallCat @BeyondTheHalo All recent, meaning he's as cold as you can be, and also meaning he would need around 3 straight hits to have a better average than Meckler. Brainless adherence to platoon advantage at all times is a characteristic of poor managers, and Suzuki exhibits it in spades.

@kiid_Amauri94 @AngelsBallCat @BeyondTheHalo So? Paris has 0 MLB hits against lefties this year. Meckler's ~.176 or so against lefties isn't great, but it's way better than Paris's .000.

[Rick Retro @RickRetroDotCom]

@BeyondTheHalo d'Arnaud is a better catcher than Ballesteros defensively. Why didn't Suzuki bring him in for the bottom of the ninth?

[Rick Retro @RickRetroDotCom]

@JohnJsav11 @TBRaysCentral It isn't. Horrible calls like this still happen without reviews when teams have used up their challenges or are saving them. ABS is better than nothing, but to save the sport needs to be used on every pitch.

@Asherdan1 @baseballinpix One of those postseason series almost 100% decided by HFA. Counting the Ws in the 1st 2 ALCS games, Angels ended their season with 11 straight home Ws. But in even years AL East got HFA. Angels might have still got a win in MIL but their best player, DeCinces, was out hurt.

@BeyondTheHalo I hope he's someone Kroenke wants or will decide to keep around. Our draft and trade deadline under Mozeliak were very impressive. Frankly, it's hard to imagine you could find much better and we've seen several much worse.
