My #Angels Predictions:

☑️ First 100 loss season (60-102)
☑️ Single-Season Record for most offensive K’s (2nd all-time in ‘25)

☑️ Adell’s slash jumps 30 pts to .265/.325/.490*

*His .257 BABIP was 135th among qualified. 9th in Barrel%, 35th in HardHit% suggests dude was unlucky

@MikeTruot27 @Angels Nope

@RFnosebleeds @updawg77 Fair points. No screenshots.

[dan the man sometimes @danmansometimes]

@RFnosebleeds @updawg77 Glad to see this one resurface on my feed.

Haven’t done a deep dive. Never paid so little attention to the Halos, but if they kept Peraza after a poor showing last year, they might keep Grissom as depth for ‘27. This comment might be better suited for a failing Grissom in ‘27.

@SaenzTS8 @RFnosebleeds We can call it progress, at least.

Haha. Sam Blum trademarked ‘worse than bad.’

@saenzTS8, since you know about worse than bad, you’ll appreciate moving into that space. Never understood Traumatized Dodger fans like You, attacking other fans from behind a touchscreen. 🤷‍♂️

[dan the man sometimes @danmansometimes]

@SaenzTS8 @RFnosebleeds @dodgerhayden lol. RF didn’t change the order. Hayden made an adjustment, he meant ‘through.’

We have a Dodger fan who needs to edit and another Dodger fan who defends the pre-edit statement.

One things for sure, Anthony Rendon had way fewer hits as a Dodger than he did as an Angel in June.

[dan the man sometimes @danmansometimes]

@BeyondTheHalo Or he can keep his job until Moreno dies.

I don’t think Angels will have a new GM under Moreno. This is it. Cashman style until God cashes Moreno out.

[dan the man sometimes @danmansometimes]

@RFnosebleeds @MikeTruot27 I know you’re not. Just a joke. And you’re right, you used a parenthetical to make your reliever point. You also used quality starts, no parentheses.

Wonder how many GM’s besides us are counting Detmers’ quality starts.

[dan the man sometimes @danmansometimes]

@RFnosebleeds @MikeTruot27 I'm gonna climb over that anger wall of yours one of these days, and it's gonna be glorious.

[dan the man sometimes @danmansometimes]

@RFnosebleeds @MikeTruot27 Nah these are boring.

Detmers will get a slightly lesser return than Baz but it will be greater than that one you think has zero chance.

You called Detmers a reliever. 😆

[dan the man sometimes @danmansometimes]

@RFnosebleeds @MikeTruot27 Btw sorry for leaving you hanging on the Detmers trade return debate. I’m sure you were broke up about it. Got busy. Shall we pick up with how wrong you are?

[dan the man sometimes @danmansometimes]

@RFnosebleeds @MikeTruot27 Nope just regular

[dan the man sometimes @danmansometimes]

@MikeTruot27 @RFnosebleeds It’s terrible trade idea. Schanuel, sure, all day. Even if you don’t value him, Neto has way more trade value to other teams than to bring back an underwater contract.

You’re selling way low on a player and people would laugh forever and ever at your return.

No offense.

@RFnosebleeds @MikeTruot27 Stop telling me how to use twitter Margo. 😉

[dan the man sometimes @danmansometimes]

@RFnosebleeds @InsideHalos I didn’t forget he was a RP in ‘25 lol, the statement was two part: ‘25 and ‘26. The return for Baz was high but it set the new market value for a young starter with track record and upside.

The point is not to run down Baz, the point is to compare a potential return. ⬆️

[dan the man sometimes @danmansometimes]

@RFnosebleeds @InsideHalos So you’re dying on the ‘zero chance’ hill?

[dan the man sometimes @danmansometimes]

@RFnosebleeds @InsideHalos Don’t agree at all with ‘zero chance.’

Use Shane Baz trade as a comp. Same service time & pedigree.

Differences: Detmers outperformed Baz in ‘25 and in ‘26. But it’s also 3 months less of a player.

BAL gave up 2 of their top 4 ‘25 picks, 2 others and a comp ‘26 draft pick.

[dan the man sometimes @danmansometimes]

@RFnosebleeds @RealWayneDupree It’s gotten worse, for sure. I’ve tried calling out the bad etiquette in real time. But ur dealing with bottom denominator, so they don’t get it.

As someone who still goes weekly, I learned to avoid crowded theaters by seeing new movies later & watching indie movies in between.

[dan the man sometimes @danmansometimes]

Angels have 3 home grown starters in the rotation with a 4.00 ERA or lower.

The Angels don’t make the playoffs, so based ONLY off the numbers below, who do you want pitching Game 162 to spoil Seattle’s playoff hopes ?

@RFnosebleeds Already did brother. 👊

Hope you have a great day giving out parking tickets, teaching high school algebra or painting street lines.

Was I close? 🤪

[dan the man sometimes @danmansometimes]

A nice byproduct of this lost Angels season is the amount of money the Angels save on electricity - by not having to light that baby up.
