Fangraphs: Anaheim Goes Clubbing

For the last few years, the Angels offensive game plan has been to try to get a few fast guys on the bases in front of Vladimir Guerrero and then hope he hits a three run homer. They could afford some offensive weaknesses thanks to their starting rotation, and they built a winner out of run prevention with just enough offense to get by . . . .

This must have been extremely painful to write...

… for our bitter little barista, nevetheless, despite the positive review he’s still too graceless to:
1. Refer to the team by their given name – Los Angeles
2. Acknowledge that we’re still playing the same kind of baseball that we always have (just playing it better) – apparently “this isn’t traditional Angels baseball”

I see red people

What a poorly written article by somebody who claims to be an authority on baseball.

He has spent his whole life analyzing and writing about a bad team, the Mariners, that he must be incapable of recognizing what makes a good team successful like the Angels.

Mike Napoli speaks softly and carries a big stick.
