  • Two solid viewpoints

    Nice to hear Mike Digi hosting his own podcast. I miss his insightful coverage of the Angels (and Dodgers). Always well written with a touch of humor.

    Mike Trumbo adds the player perspective which is a plus

  • Love the show

    Love the show and it’s incredible to hear these two discuss everything Angels.

    My only critique: The posting of episodes has been tough. One episode was posted twice and the most recent episode is titled “Part 2” with no part one having been posted. We seem to join mid-conversation with no context on what has happened before.

    I think once that gets worked out this will be a smooth running ship!

    PS - I was at Mark Trumbo’s MLB debut and have the scorebook to prove it!

Talking Points

Recent interactions between the hosts and their guests.

Angels Mailbag: Are Halos capable of winning with owner Arte Moreno?
Q: Bartolo Colon asks if the Angels will have any All-Stars this year, and the hosts discuss Neto and Adele as strong candidates but acknowledge top competition at shortstop and the depth of the roster.
Neto and Adele are highlighted as strong possibilities, with Neto likely to be a centerpiece given the position's depth elsewhere; the All-Star selection remains competitive, but both players are in the conversation.
Angels Mailbag: Are Halos capable of winning with owner Arte Moreno?
Q: Anthony Fiorella asks which college-level prospects the Angels should target, given the draft spot at 12, and Mark weighs in on the top three names and their potential fit.
Three early targets: Von Lackey (Georgia Tech, catcher, leadership presence), Jackson Flora (UC Santa Barbara, starter with velocity around 97-100), AJ Gracia (Virginia, outfielder with plus speed and instincts); the Angels will sign top players for full value due to the draft slot and focus on long-term upside.
Angels Mailbag: Are Halos capable of winning with owner Arte Moreno?
Q: Two questions merged: Do you believe in throwing prospects in the fire or giving them extended development time, given the Angels' contending status?
It's a case-by-case decision; some prospects benefit from early ML exposure if close to ready, while others need more minor-league seasoning to develop their toolbox and approach.
Angels Mailbag: Are Halos capable of winning with owner Arte Moreno?
Q: From Steve Carrasco in Rancho Cucamonga: Do you think the Angels are capable of winning under Arte Moreno's ownership?
Yes, historically the ownership group spent and built a winning framework, but recent years show reduced spending and a need for renewed commitment to winning to be truly competitive again.
Angels owner Arte Moreno claims winning is a priority; most fans aren't buying it.
Q: How did the guests react to Moreno's statement about fans prioritizing affordability over winning?
The guests largely criticized the stance, describing it as harmful and indicative of misaligned incentives, while noting that fan experience and a competitive team should be linked to the franchise's value and future prospects.
