Episode 1-42: Light Up the Halo: Everything's Going Wrong!

Description
It's been a long, dark, and quiet offseason, as the MLB Lockout has stalled any exciting news about our favorite game, but there is lots to cover regarding the Los Angeles Angels. It all starts with the recent Fangraphs ZiPs Projections as teams currently stand in the middle of the offseason, and Mike and Jon wonder how accurate their projection of a Halos 81-81 2022 season will be. (4:13) We're losing a good one, as José Mota announced his departure from the Angels' broadcasting team. After spending 20 years in red, he'll be going blue, as he's set to join the Dodgers in a broadcast capacity, and the Super Halo Bros. discuss what it means for the team. (16:25) Then, our wish came true; Shohei Ohtani is the cover athlete for MLB The Show 2022! We ran a little Twitter poll to find out what system you guys we'll be playing on, and Jon has very specific plans for this year's game. (22:30) The criminal trial of Eric Kay, former Angels Communications Director has begun in Texas, and witnesses include Matt Harvey, Andrew Heaney, Garrett Richards, and other former Halos who will testify. It's not an easy discussion, but the brothers ask the question; is this an Angels problem or a larger problem within MLB? (30:00) Among this news comes some information regarding the sale of Angels Stadium and the surrounding land, and Jon shares the holdup with the deal which involves the state of California. (43:14) In a bit of lighter news, Mike Trout proves he's still the greatest player in MLB with the recent story of @EvansvilleDevi1 unknowingly critiquing Trout's swing and Trouty sending him some gear! It leads to the question: has MLB forgotten Mike Trout and what he's capable of with his absence last season? (49:38) Finally, MLB Commissioner Rob Manfred is calling a press conference on Thursday, and Mike and Jon speculate as to what it may be about. Puppies? Paternity tests? Who knows! (54:39) Get into our socials by following us on Twitter and Instagram @superhalobros! --- Support this podcast: https://anchor.fm/super-halo-bros/support
