So, I was going to open this up with a play on the song You Gotta Have Heart, from the classic musical Damn Yankees. But I did that for an article before. And I’m fresh out of heart puns. Something about those chalky candy hearts that nobody ever eats? Something about cardiology? Maybe a bit […]
One Yankee rival lost early on Saturday as the Yanks took down the Blue Jays 3-1, with Paul Goldschmidt providing a clutch game-winning, two-run bomb in the ninth. Goldy’s heroics meant that Cam Schlittler’s start, wherein he held the Jays down outside of a Kazuma Okamoto solo home run, didn’t go to waste. All told, […]
The best, most positive bright spot of this game and this series is that it happened late at night on the West Coast, in between a packed World Cup slate, and during Game 5 of the NBA Finals. Ideally the absolute minimum amount of people were exposed to the completely lifeless version of the Rays […]
The Angels announced that catcher Omar Martinez has cleared waivers and was assigned outright to Triple-A Salt Lake. The backstop was designated for assignment last week in a series of moves that included outfielder Gustavo Campero being added to the 40-man roster. Campero had a looming opt-out clause in his deal. Martinez appeared in five games […]
The New York Yankees must trade for Los Angeles Angels outfielder Jo Adell amid the injuries to Aaron Judge, Giancarlo Stanton, and Trent Grisham.
The Yankees did not have their A-game in their opener against the Blue Jays, falling behind 5-0 before ultimately losing 8-5 and suffering another potential blow to their outfield with Trent Grisham leaving the game early. While they wait for news on Grisham’s hamstring and whether he’ll need an IL stint, the rest of the […]

Oil and gas sponsorships are becoming more and more frequent in sports. The term “sportswashing” describes how fossil fuel companies partner with sports teams to help improve their reputation.

For the second time in three nights, it would require extra innings. This time however, the Astros wouldn’t be as fortunate as they were 48 hours earlier in the series opener, dropping the finale to the Angels by a score of 3-2. Former Astro Jose Siri would deliver the final blow with an […]

If it was a title fight, it would’ve been stopped early. A TKO. The Astros were soundly defeated by the Angels in Anaheim by the score of 10-1. Kai-Wei Teng, who back in March boasted a 2 1/3 scoreless outing in Anaheim, couldn’t get out of his own way on Tuesday night, imploding. The final […]
No matter how bad the Los Angeles Angels have been over the years, Mike Trout has repeatedly insisted he was not interested in going elsewhere. Shohei Ohtani left. But Trout still remained steadfast. He was staying in Orange County. Maybe now, after watching Ohtani win a couple of World Series with the Dodgers, would Trout reconsider? He hasn't been in the postseason since 2014, the first of his three MVP seasons. And the Angels haven't had a winning record since 2015. If Trout fin...
