Need a season-long boo tour for the Angels, strip them of some draft picks, and ban little league teams from playing as the Angels. Think about the children and the integrity of the game!!
Did I do that right, baseball fans?
A pro scout for the Los Angeles Angels who calls himself “The Baseball Spy” was fired earlier this season after filming Colorado Rockies coaches on his cell phone while working in the stands.

Four pitchers the Astros acquired in the offseason have been DFA'd: Pearson, Weiss, Muñoz and Roa.
Pearson began the year on the IL, but Weiss, Muñoz and Roa were on the Opening Day roster.
Other offseason pitching adds:
Imai
Lambert
Burrows
Teng
Astros fans, don’t forget Jim Crane:
- let go of a perfectly capable GM
- spent $100M on washed vets while the team had no GM
- later hired a GM but continued to overrule and handcuff his decision-making
- enabled Dusty’s behavior
Jerry Jones’ed this team into the ground.
Your Jim Crane Astros:
2023: Let’s Light $100M On Fire! Jose Abreu, Rafael Montero, Dusty punts ALCS G7.
2024: Another $100M Shiny Toy! Swept in ALWC.
2025: Let’s Sign Another Aging 1B! Miss playoffs.
2026: We Should Sell But We Won’t! Sub-.500 record.

Never forget that Crane and Bagwell got tired of winning - at the apex of the dynasty - because the credit was going to a front office philosophy that they "personally" found annoying.
A felony against the fanbase.
In an acknowledgement today that he "personally" felt the Astros had gone too analytics-heavy under James Click, Jeff Bagwell said "there are certain things that go on that the numbers can’t explain. This game is played by humans, man. It’s not played by computers."
In a crackdown that has rankled some front offices across the league, MLB has effectively outlawed the growing practice of using league-provided dugout iPads to access generative AI.

Thank you 43. The Golden Age of the Houston Astros have a whole chapter on what you’ve given to this city, organization and fanbase. You left everything out there and #43 will always be remembered for that.
Thank you personally from our team here at Apollo. WE are not here at all if you don’t randomly jump into a random twitch stream during the pandemic, WE are not here if you don’t meet up with us before you enter the bubble to grab merch, WE are not here if you don’t pop bottles in an H-Town vs. Everyone shirt. So thank you 43, for everything.
Best wishes to Lance McCullers Jr. Deserves to be called an Astros’ legend despite injuries that derailed his career.
McCullers’ 2017 heroics are well documented. 2021 + 2022 ALDS efforts are underrated.

Game 3 in Seattle in ‘22 was particularly clutch.
Never forget Lance McCullers domination of the Yankees lineup in Game 7 of the 2017 ALCS… he was 23 years old at the time and sent the #Astros to the World Series. What a freaking moment.
