@ScmediaL @JeffFletcherOCR Good. Maybe that was a Perry idea that has been rejected by Mo.

[Neil @nbcgolfman]

@JeffFletcherOCR And most of their top minor league players are pitchers. First time in a long time the pitching future looks brighter than the position players.

[Neil @nbcgolfman]

@JeffFletcherOCR Good loss to improve chance for a top pick. And more good pitching. But the offense needs major upgrades in the coming seasons. Too much of that bad Perry influence.

I wanted to share my profile on Sasho Cirovski again.

Probably my favorite I’ve ever written.

Started working on it last September, when I spoke with Zack Steffen. Talked to 17 people, with over 600 minutes worth of interviews.

Check it out ICYMI ⬇️

@JeffFletcherOCR Trouts slug has really dropped off.

[Neil @nbcgolfman]

I’m biased but great article from Aidan as his last story on the Maryland men’s soccer beat. 8 months of work and numerous interviews later, a wonderful portrait of a legendary NCAA coach.

[Aidan Currie @aidan_currie_]

Excellence.

A word synonymous with Sasho Cirovski. But how do others define his excellence?

Well, from Zack Steffen to Taylor Twellman, old assistants to active players, here are the best untold stories of Cirovski's Maryland coaching career.

One last ride @BenGeffner

[Neil @nbcgolfman]

@JeffFletcherOCR Translation: Our pitching might get better using more modern tech; our hitters just suck.

[Neil @nbcgolfman]

@JeffFletcherOCR This has been a perfect encapsulation of the 2026 Angels all in one inning. Poor pitching, bad defense and bad manager decision making. Impressive stuff.

[Neil @nbcgolfman]

@JeffFletcherOCR This is probably a better spot based on his approach this year

[Neil @nbcgolfman]

@JeffFletcherOCR At this point, wins are irrelevant and actually probably counterproductive. Just need those who will be here next year to improve. And more loses can only help draft positioning.

[Neil @nbcgolfman]

@JeffFletcherOCR My quick view of this is that they are in desperate need of upgrades in the outfield for next year.

[Neil @nbcgolfman]

@JeffFletcherOCR Be interesting to see how this impacts their overall minor league rankings. Sure helps the top 30 dramatically.

[Neil @nbcgolfman]

@JeffFletcherOCR All our save leaders. What on earth will the Angels do?

[Neil @nbcgolfman]

@SamBlum3 It is a start and a glimmer of hope for the first time in a loooooong time.

[Neil @nbcgolfman]

@JeffFletcherOCR Obviously. Only way they can get people to attend this debacle. And I say that as someone happy they are finally acting like a real baseball franchise today

[Neil @nbcgolfman]

@JeffFletcherOCR Actually making contact would be a welcome change for what the Angels have been doing the past 5 years. They have been bad and boring at the same time.

[Neil @nbcgolfman]

@JeffFletcherOCR Have heard this probably 50 times over the past decade from the Angels and it normally is much more than a dead arm.

[Neil @nbcgolfman]

@JeffFletcherOCR Finally, some smart management
