A new low

[Stradling]

"Give Roberts credit, he got the head (of the bat) on it and got it..."

How much more can one fan take? Really!

Then stop ****ing listening, all it does is piss you off. Maybe just maybe you only listen to it when we win.

[AngelsLakersFan]

Eh, I get the frustration but see it a little different. Ernesto was dealing before that error, it just happened to cost us the game.

 

But I get the frustration. The pen has cost us, what, 4 games this year? At least.

 

I asked Blarg, err Eric, and he said 0.

[Brandon]

That is what drives you crazy about him. He looks unhittable for two hitters, then grooves one to a middle infielder that winds up in the seats.

No doubt. That's why I don't get this thread. Ernie left one down and in that cost the game, but posters are more concerned with what Sosh said to a reporter afterwards.

Not only that, but when has Sosh not had dumb clichés and minimalized losses?

People are just creating their own frustration if they are nitpicking Sosh post game interviews.

MS is the worst manager in mlb.....it's not even close. he doesn't do anything but follow the books....lefty vs lefty..righty vs righty etc. don't pull a pitcher if hes doing well you dumbass.

 

He's historically one of the best managers ever, but let's ignore that.

[fan_since79]

It's the denial of reality after these losses that's galling.

 

Scioscia will keep trotting out Frieri in crucial situations to give up home runs to players like Brian Roberts. These losses are adding up. They're critical. We should be in first place right now, but we're in fourth. How many games have we blown already due to mismanagement? And it's only early May.

[Brandon]

And you blame that on how he handles news conferences?

[RallyMo]

Denial?

 

You're delusional. I'm pretty sure he's aware they lost.

 

He's not going to throw guys that he still has on his roster under the bus. That'd be awful leadership.

[Hollyw00d]

More LOL, Terry Smith is talking about how great it will be once Burnett comes back.

he ripped the pen pretty hard on angel talk

[fan_since79]

Instead of "Roberts got the head (of the bat) on the ball and he got it..." just for once I'd like to hear something like "Ernesto is struggling now, and we're going to change some things in the bullpen for awhile.." Something more in tune with reality.

 

Stop tipping your damn cap to guys like Brian Roberts!

[mtangelsfan]

Don't you guys know that press conferences are the most important things ever?

 

how Sosh handles those is the key to winning the world series.

[fan_since79]

Denial?

 

You're delusional. I'm pretty sure he's aware they lost.

 

He's not going to throw guys that he still has on his roster under the bus. That'd be awful leadership.

 

He doesn't have to throw anyone under the bus. He needs to stop tipping his cap every night to the opposition. Doesn't this guy ever get angry after shocking losses like last night?!

[RallyMo]

He tipped his cap every damn time they lost in 2002.

 

My guess is that you didn't give a sh*t then.

 

He is and always has been a predictable cliche machine.

[tdawg87]

I'm guessing he does, he just doesn't do it to the media.

[fan_since79]

He's historically one of the best managers ever, but let's ignore that.

 

Yep. We've missed the playoffs four straight years, and from the looks of it, that streak is not in jeopardy.

It's only 9:30, but have a beer dude.

There's worse things in the world than a baseball manager not saying what you want him to.

These threads come up after bad losses ever since Sosh has been coaching and they never change, nor do the fans reactions I suppose.

Denial?

He's not going to throw guys that he still has on his roster under the bus. That'd be awful leadership.

 

The denial is that he's going to keep doing what he's been doing. My guess is he'll keep Frieri in the background for a few games, then bring him right back.

[Brandon]

And what is going Lou Pinella and ripping a phone out of a wall going to accomplish?

[RallyMo]

Yep. We've missed the playoffs four straight years, and from the looks of it, that streak is not in jeopardy.

 

Good work. 

 

The Braves missed the playoffs for four straight years recently.

 

Bobby Cox: what a hack.

[WallyWorld]

fan-since79, if you want to be pissed, be pissed at Frieri.  You should know by now that MS (thankfully) isn't ever going to throw anyone under the bus in an interview or say anything meaningful for that matter.  You can quibble with putting Frieri in in that situation, but with his best reliever unavailable, what was he supposed to do?  If it had been Kohn, Jepsen, or anyone else that gave up that HR, there'd be just as much hand-wringing going on.  

 

It was a pisser of a game.  Move on.

[Blarg]

Nothing about the pitch, only about giving Roberts credit.

 

What about the pitch, Fan? Is there some part of the strike zone Frieri or any other pitcher for that matter, can't throw a first pitch? You guys bitch and moan about not getting a first pitch strike and when a pitcher does and some schmuck like Roberts gets lucky with a wild swing, then you want it the other way.

 

That pitch was low and inside, a pretty good first pitch offering. He threw the exact same pitch to Ellsbury and the umpire called it a ball. Look it up, the pitch trax doesn't lie or make up shit to bolster grudges. 

 

I am so tired of you guys making up shit just so you can ramp up your same Scioscia arguments. And you have the gall to say Scioscia keeps repeating the same thing over and over in each post game interview. You do the same damn thing in your posts.

[Jay]

Some of you guys are way too invested in whether the Angels win or lose.  Get over it, they're a .500 ball club.  Find something else to do with your time.

[mtangelsfan]

Honestly, I'm more pissed at Sosh for having Ibanez in the OF than anything else.  Although I guess with Green being a scratch and having so many guys in the pen there was really nobody else to have in there.

[fan_since79]

It's funny, there are eight guys in the pen now, and they're still no better than before.

[mtangelsfan]

So says Jay, with his 2300 posts on AW.  You go find something else to do with your time rather than tell people what they should or shouldn't care about.

Correct.  If we had somebody great to play that position then he would be playing there.
