00:00 [Intro]

00:02 Who the Angels put on. Now the Angels put several guys on the waiver wire.

00:07 So Hunter Renfro gone, Lucas Gilito gone,

00:09 Ronaldo Lopez gone, Matt Moore gone. All these guys from the Angels. The other three went to Cleveland. Nice strategy by Cleveland, Scotty.

00:17 Basically out of it,

00:19 sold things, sold some pieces at the deadline. Now as we get to September, they're five games back.

00:24 They take two out of three from the Twins this week. Now they go and pick up all these guys.

00:28 But here's the problem. Gilito sucks, as you know already. He stinks. So what's he gonna do to help them?

00:33 You know the thing that stands out to me, he's been dreadful. Okay, just absolutely dreadful.

00:40 So and really

00:43 what

00:44 exploits the whole thing for me is how bad the Angels organization is. I mean,

00:49 let's look at what they did. They went out and got all these guys

00:54 to help them and they got worse by the day. I mean the team literally

00:59 imploded with all of their GM's horrific moves and then

01:05 remember, they basically

01:08 have allowed Otani to walk out the door for nothing. I mean, they are so inept.

01:15 It is unbelievable. And then I have told you on a hundred occasions, they're trapped

01:23 by Mike Trout.

01:25 Mike Trout is owed

01:27 hundreds of millions of dollars still and the guy plays about 25 games a year.

01:32 He got injured, broke his hand, came back, played one day, went back on the

01:37 "his season's over" list. Okay, he went back on the "his season's over" list because he never plays. Meanwhile, they're raking him

01:44 almost a half a billion dollars. I think they're the most inept, anemic,

01:51 pathetic organization in baseball. And when they went out and got all these guys like Gialito and Lopez and all of them,

01:58 not one of those moves worked. Not one of them. And then they

02:02 clean house with all of them and then they're left with this same mess.

02:09 Trout and Otani saying bye-bye.

02:12 They are a joke.

02:16 They certainly are. And now they're gonna, like you said, they're losing Otani for nothing.

02:21 And it's probably gonna be what's really gonna bother them. It's gonna be down the freeway to the Dodgers.

02:26 It wouldn't stun me. It wouldn't stun me at all.

02:31 If that's where he ends up going is right across the freeway and playing the other LA team.

02:37 So that would and that really bothers me. You know that'll bother Moreno to no end.

02:41 If he goes over to the Dodgers and signs a big fat deal over with those guys.
