00:03 - What has gone wrong all around the trade deadline
00:05 for Los Angeles?
00:07 - Yeah, it's not just the Angels, Ben.
00:09 There's just a lot of teams that had that post-season
00:12 in mind that have just completely gone the other way.
00:14 We can get into it in the National League quite a bit.
00:17 It's incredible.
00:18 It seems like nobody wants it.
00:20 You know, the Giants are playing better baseball
00:22 than the Angels, and they do have their best pitcher
00:25 on the mound tonight.
00:26 But as you can tell, the confidence isn't really high
00:28 in the Giants because any given day,
00:30 they can win four to three, lose four to three.
00:32 We saw they had a really tough time with Oakland
00:35 over the weekend too.
00:36 But as far as the Angels are concerned, Ben,
00:39 you gotta just put your hands up in the air
00:41 and just say, all right, well, you know,
00:43 they tried, it didn't work.
00:44 I don't, at this point, it would be very hard
00:47 to envision them getting in,
00:48 especially with the way that all of a sudden
00:49 Seattle has played.
00:50 And Ben, we talked about Seattle just waiting all season long
00:52 for them to come alive, and they have now.
00:55 So for the Angels, unfortunately,
00:58 it's gonna be a very difficult off season coming for them
01:01 because they're gonna throw as much money as they can
01:03 at Shohei Otani.
01:04 He's probably gonna say no.
01:05 You know, Mike Trout, maybe Ben,
01:08 they gotta figure out a way to get him back in the lineup
01:10 in the next week or two.
01:11 I don't think he's gone on a rehab assignment yet,
01:13 but it looks pretty bleak.
