Moniak tonight: 5-for-5 with 5 runs, 4 RBIs and his 7th home run in the Angels' 25-1 win.

OPS up to 1.073

This is NO ONE on this board who wouldn't have dumped Moniak. Hope he keeps it up. No hard feelings.

Having Moniak will take some sting out of the Angels losing Ohtani this winter

Not good

Tension in the Padres clubhouse is rumored to be at breaking point, with finger-pointing, strategy disagreement, and accusations of laziness and poor preparation from certain high-profile players all common. A real lack of team cohesion. Many fear the once hyped season is doomed.

    Interesting how Phillies and Padres are really two ends of the spectrum.

    Phillies have very consciously built around (expensive) guys who seem to want to be around each, and especially Friends of Bryce.

    The Padres just open the checkbook and trade top prospects and, no, I don't think there's been a lot of attention to clubhouse chemistry. They're just an accumulation of nine-figure superstars, next to guys who should be on the Long Island Ducks in some cases.

    Mariners sign Didi Gregorious, who had a 1.200 OPS in the Mexican League this year.

    Ohtani hits No. 36 in the Angels' 99th game of the season. He's on pace for 59 home runs.

    He's blowing right past that $600M prediction, isn't he?

    Angels are making a big mistake if they don't trade him

    If the Padres were 5-5 in extra innings instead of 0-10, they'd be 57-50 and tied for the #3 wild card.
