The July 16th, 2015 edition of Los Angeles Angels news including Mike Trout is ‘white Bo Jackson’, the Statcast All-Stars and much more…
The Story: Orioles outfielder called Mike Trout “the white Bo Jackson.”
The Monkey Says: Some did not like this comment one bit. Jones probably didn’t mean anything by it, but clearly some people found it offensive for very obvious reasons. In this day and age, you have to know that the SJWs are going to flip out because Bo Jackson wasn’t NEARLY as good as Mike Trout. I, for one, am deeply offended.
The Story: Garrett Richards headlines the Statcast All-Stars.
The Monkey Says: Any All-Star team that doesn’t include Mike Trout is inherently flawed, but it is nice to see that Richards’ slider still measures out as having the same bite as always.
The Story: A look ahead at the Angels’ storylines of the second half.
The Monkey Says: My top five things to watch are: 1) Will the Angels trade for a bat? 2) When will the Angels trade for a bat? 3) Which bat will the Angels trade for a bat? 4) Have the Angels traded for a bat yet? 5) How about now?
The Story: Mike Trout implies that the firing of Jerry Dipoto might have actually inspired the Angels’ hot streak.
The Monkey Says: He doesn’t actually know why that would be the case, but he put it out there anyway. I suspect he just noticed the coincidence of timing but doesn’t fully grasp that correlation is not causation.
The Story: Ten key stats to watch in the second half.
The Monkey Says: Meh. I’ve never been a big counting stats milestone guy, especially when we are talking about things that are definitely going to happen. It doesn’t matter to me if Pujols passes Manny Ramirez this year or next year. We know it is going to happen, so I fail to find any reason to monitor the situation all that closely.
The Story: How the Angels can repeat as the AL West champs.
The Monkey Says: Suggestion #1 is patently stupid. Suggestion #2 is basically “let the good pitchers continue pitching.” Suggestion #3 is really just “win games.” Suggestion #4 is “hope C.J. Cron keeps hitting.” This, my friends, isn’t a bad plan because it actually isn’t a plan at all.
