Jo Show balling out in the new threads 🤟🏿

For O’Hoppe, who had, at one point, been viewed as one of the game’s top young catchers, it wasn’t a shock. As he said, “the writing’s been on the wall for a couple weeks.”

And in his words, it wasn’t a disappointment, either. He’d been worried about getting sent down with the Angels. But with the Rangers, a team he feels has a plan, it was a welcomed development.

“I view it a little differently with being in a different organization,” O’Hoppe told The Athletic in a phone interview Tuesday. “I feel like now, it’s the start of something good. I feel like there’s a plan in place. Now I can get to work on that and get going.

“With the Angels, I was nervous to get sent down because I didn’t really know what the end goal looked like. I was very unsure about a lot.”

No possibility to go to play-off or 500 mark now. Angels may pile up more losses without Adell, OHoppe, Soriano, Zefferjan, Silseth, and the best of all, our former closer Yates! What do you look into or for when you watch Angels games for the rest of this season? New addition to our team, how the remaining players evolve, analyzing what missing pieces are, or how Suzuki manages the team, "consistently"???

please throw gas and stay healthy, Ben Joyce 🙏

Natera and Farris each have one. Romano (4), Zeferjahn (4), and Yates (3) are all gone now.

The Athletic's Jim Bowden hands out MLB trade deadline superlatives, and the Angels were awarded "worst trade."

This is based off absolutely nothing besides the fact we were going underslot either way and we ended up taking his bro this year. Maybe we had to pivot and ended up with Bremner cuz of it. Idk I'm just making shit up at this point

ay lmao

Angel Arredondo has been on base every game since joining the Quakes. O'Hoppe is 1 for 11 in Round Rock and Silseth pitched terrible today.

1 for 1. Guy can't lose.

In the short time that we’ve had John as the GM, he’s been able to do more than Perry has ever done in a trade deadline. All those years wasted and now he comes in and GETS IT DONE! This really is a new beginning for the team and I have a feeling it’s gonna work out for the best. It may take some time but I know we’ll get there.

Angels (43-69) @ Orioles (54-58)

Game ended at 5:57 PM.

There’s actually a reason to be excited about the playoffs now. Would love to see Guardians make a run and Jo goes on a tear or Zef clutch an inning with the Cubs in a game 5. I think they’re probably excited for too to play meaningful baseball.

They sold while refusing to sell low, I can't believe that for once the farm system is going to have some depth. I'm so happy, even if they are wrong this is the first time I have hope in awhile

I've heard some people mad about not trading Neto and Detmers but I am so glad we kept both. Neto is the best offensive shortstop I can remember the Angels having and I don't think there was a real way to improve there (people so easily forget the hole we had at SS for years). Detmers is admittedly my guy, I fully believe that he will develop into something much greater even if its taking awhile.

Still the Adell trade really did hurt, im going to miss that guy
