The Los Angeles Angels finished 62-100 yet sit first in the AL West. Monica and Frank break down how this happened, citing Seattle's collapse and Dan Wilson's firing. We analyze the catcher battle between Logan Porter and Travis d'Arnaud, predict Ben Joyce's impact, and discuss Caden Dana's role in the future rotation.

Key players discussed include Zach Neto, Taylor Ward, Jose Siri, Nolan Schanuel, and Logan Porter. Topics cover the ABS system impact, bullpen usage, and projections for 75-80 wins in 2027. We also touch on the Mariners' struggles and the broader context of MLB's non-playoff teams finding silver linings.
