Is Scioscia all there?

[FurdTurgason]

Scioscia wanted Bedrosian to be his new closer. It blew up in his face. Angels are back to square one in looking for a closer.

 

That's what happened today.

[nando714]

A lot of us here and many sports writers questioned the contract from the beginning and so far, everyone has been right.

He gives zero fvcks

And it shows

[Inside Pitch]

That final inning was a comedy of errors.   I love that they are using Bedrosian, was even happy they gave him a shot to start the inning.  But the minute the kid started to crack (he seemed scared as all hell out there), he should have been pulled.  No idea why he's not getting the same treatment Morin got early on..   

 

I really would love to hear what the thought process was that inning because thats possibly MS's worst inning ever.

[bloodbrother]

Morin and Smith in the late innings. Set it and forget it

 

Send Bedrosian down and bury Frieri's annoying face at the bottom of the bullpen depth chart

[Sciosciapath]

We are now the farthest back 2nd place team in baseball.

 

but but, the A's are going to come down to Earth!

Time to revisit Mike Butcher's grip on his job?

 

He must deserve at least some heat over what we are witnessing.

[CanadianHalo]

No.

End thread.

Scioscia said Frieri "has been struggling." Wanted to give CLE "different look." Had confidence Bedrosian would get job done.

 

which begs the question, why bring him in with bases loaded?????

[Angel Oracle]

Where the $#@^%& was Morin in that spot????

Dude has SEVEN walks in 22 innings and a 0.99 WHIP!

We know you have confidence in your moves Mike, the question is WHY?

Nobody watching you does..

He's been throwing a slider this year too.

It's terrible too

"Well, he's struggling too much to start a fresh inning.

 

Now bases juiced and 1 out?

 

He's got that shit locked down!

There were no injuries or ailments in the bullpen. Scioscia simply wanted Bedrosian for that situation. #Angels

Frieri has been struggling, so let's bring him into the game with the bases loaded

I'm not a Scioscia basher but it's hard to defend him at this point.

[Angel Oracle]

That should be a fireable offense alone!    Morin is your SECOND best reliever behind Smith.    Case @&^#&&U closed!

#Angels Mgr Mike Scioscia said he simply wanted Bedrosian as his closer today. Period.

 

 

I think most of us are much less upset about Bedrosian starting the inning than we are Frieri coming in with bases juiced and 1 out.

" It makes no sense, does it... (hehe)"

[bloodbrother]

So Mike wanted to go with the dude who had pitched 5.1 innings of crappy ball with a 10.13 ERA over the guy who has given them 22.1 innings with a 1.21 ERA and last pitched 3 days ago

I don't know, the struggling extreme flyball closer who has a problem with the HR ball and his command seems like the perfect guy to bring in there, right? RIGHT?

 

Hey, where's everyone going

Alden Gonzalez ‏@Alden_Gonzalez 23s

Asked if he was surprised Cam Bedrosian started the 10th instead of him, Frieri paused & said: "Next. I don't wanna say anything." #Angels

[fan_since79]

Three huge mistakes:

1. Not letting Smith start the 10th.

2. Bringing Bedrosian in.

3. Bringing Frieri in to throw fat fastballs to the fastball-loving Swisher.

Yeah, but Morin doesn't throw as hard and everyone knows capital C Closers NEED to throw hard.

 

It gets Scioscia all hot and bothered.

Honestly, I'm upset he went to Bedrosian. He's been ass since being called up, and since he eventually brought Frieri in anyway, I'd have rather he just started the inning in the first place. I sadly trust him more than Bedrosian

 

That or go with Morin, who has been by far this team's 2nd best arm behind Smith
