Another excellent listen. A couple of things stood out to me.
- The empty seats make me think I was hasty in buying tickets for an Angels game in late August.
- I disagree with Scotty saying that if Bo (or Vlad) were traded that it would signify a catastrophic failure on the part of the front office. I think this era has been a failure in terms of playoff success for sure, but...some of Scotty's argument surely comes down to player performance, of which not everything can be controlled and determined by the team's coaching and development and front office - ultimately it's on the player, for whatever reasons.
- great comment about trading Kikuchi at the deadline - who would replace him in the rotation for the rest of the year?
- the Jim Jammer story needs to go in your book and 'Hornswaggled' needs to be in the title.

Keep up the great work and content.
Angels game not a bad investment … at the time. We’re going to have an upper deck beer if I recall.
Yep. Or two. Perhaps they should put us on the Jumboton like a John Gibbons-Jon Berti type of moment.
