Was Los Angeles Angels closer Kenley Jansen really hurt on Tuesday night? On Today’s Locked On Angels, Mike of the Super Halo Bros. discusses how Kenley Jansen’s decision to tough it out might’ve cost the Halos their chance at winning the series against the Cincinnati Reds, while Yusei Kikuchi went to extra lengths to prepare for his start on the mound. Plus, what do you think of the All-Time Angels lineup that was shared by MLB on Fox?

  1. Mike, great solo job. I have a comment concerning Jensen. Wouldn't he be the first FA of any significance that has been kept since Arte Moreno ownership? Mike I hope your right and Jensen kept.

  2. I know this comment is a day or two late: Usually, like Mike, I don't like the shaded infield defense. However, that is what got us the triple play against Ohtani and the Dodgers.

  3. Hi Mike, I agree on your SS, 2B, and RF replacements but I'm not sure if I put Erstad in front of Joyner. I really think a healthy Joyner wins us the WS in 86. But I guess that's arguable and I wouldn't totally reject Erstad at 1B. I definitely wouldn't go with Ryan at SP. I like Dean Chance or Bartolo Colon, when with us they were both more reliable than Ryan or Finley.

  4. Ray M and the coaches are fighting for their jobs….they don't want to be riding buses in the minors next year. I don't think they care about Kenley's well-being.

  5. Jansen needs to come back on a two year deal he has been a flat out leader for this team i had been reticent that Jansen could replace Estevez but he has come through in more ways than I imagined.

    The only player who should be playing injured is Rendon with sandbags attached to his hips.

  6. 18:26 This has been Angels' management's Achilles heel: the inability to see reality as it is. Either they are just unable to see what we all see, or they know this team isn't "in it", are pretending to believe they are "in it" and are lying to fans in an attempt to maximize profits.

    Either way, fans need more transparency and GMPM needs to do a better job of seeing the big pictures as it relates to the future of this team.
