00:00but i'm looking at that angels lineup and i'm going you and i looked at it yesterday and said
00:05yesterday once we get past like the fifth hitter we haven't heard of anybody but you know they
00:12they lost last night uh to uh to baltimore but they out hit baltimore they had uh i think they
00:19went one of 12 with runners in scoring position they still have a pretty good top end of that
00:25lineup the angels there i couldn't tell you who's in the bullpen and you know detmers is still a
00:30front line starter so i i do think the angels will give the athletics a run for the money for
00:36finishing last but i i would be shocked if the angels don't win more games in the athletics
00:42yeah the only the only good thing about the angels this year as opposed to years past is that if
00:47you
00:47think about it is it such a terrible thing that we don't know all these guys on the angels the
00:53rest of
00:53the season maybe that's better than seeing luis robert and jorge polanco on the mets you know like
01:00maybe that's a better thing that you have young hungry guys who are looking to build for next year
01:06like what is polanco playing for what is luis robert playing for and i and i almost think that i
01:11would rather take young guys who are fighting for their baseball lives as opposed to these washouts
01:17that are uh that are done i mean i don't know if you saw the comments yesterday and he apologized
01:22for
01:22them joe but keith hernandez uh yesterday went on the air uh on sny for the mets and he said
01:29it was
01:29like the mets took out the garbage and then he came back on the air and apologized and said well
01:34i didn't
01:35mean to call them garbage it's just they traded they traded a lot of players so um yes so so
01:42that's
01:42the only positive thing i would say about the angels it doesn't look i'm not saying all of a sudden
01:46they're going to be good i'm just saying that in years past joe it kind of felt like the angels
01:50just
01:50stood pat and then rolled out whoever they had the rest of the year they're not doing that this
01:55year they're they're gonna try new things and play new players and play for the future i think if you
02:00look at the industry in general and look at the comments that were made about the angels joe at
02:04the deadline they got a lot of positive comments like john mosey lock came in he did and was like
02:10all right like he got some things past already marino you know like hey like you could almost see
02:15that conversation i don't know i don't even know joe it may not even be already marino anymore i think
02:18it
02:18may be his son that's doing everything but whoever it was it kind of felt like it was like a
02:24stare
02:24down and it was a like probably was like look yep you got a choice here if you want me
02:29to stay and
02:30you want me to do this this is the way it's got to be or keep giving kurt suzuki a
02:34one-year deal you
02:35know like it's up to you and and it really it really felt like some shift has happened the angels
02:41so
02:41i'm not overly optimistic because the ownership at any time could just drop the bomb again you know it
02:46could happen but i this is the most optimistic i've been on the angels since they flubbed the
02:52whole otani thing by not trading him definition of insanity they had otani they had otani wow
