Josh Hamilton meets with MLB officials about a disciplinary issue

[Guest]

Mota's now talking about Trout.

 

He said that Trout now has, "The hunger, the edge, and the sting."

That sounds exactly like Josh Hamilton, too. 

[yk9001]

Yeah.  I hate how unsympathetic and indignant people can get.  I really hope people don't treat him like he's some perpetual **** up like they did with the bar incident.  You start treating relapses like they erase all your accomplishments and hard work, then that's likely what they'll become.

 

Yes, its *our* fault.

Jose Mota and Roger Lodge analyzing this right now on AM830.

Is Rodge using big words like 'amazing' and 'absolutely'?

"Let's take some calls - Pete from Laguna: When do you think Hamilton will be back roving the outfield in the House that The Cowboy Built, that Arte made better?"

there has never been a player to put hunger, edge and sting together in one season.  If Trout can accomplish that, the sky will be the limit for Trout.

I think that's what they call the triple crown.

Mota thinks if Josh walked into the batters box at angel stadium right now right now he'd get loud boos from everybody.

Not necessarily, but you can see how it can become a self-fulfilling prophecy. You keep saying to someone that they can't do anything right and you focus only on the things they did wrong, why would they believe in themselves at that point?

Oh please, just stop.

Poor Joshy.

Dumb post.

This guy had a long well documented history long before he signed with the angels

[nando714]

Poor Joshy.

This

I think I have more respect for a rod than Hamilton at this point.

At least a rod has the balls to look the media, fans, teammates, coaches in the eye after his saga.

Josh wasn't even with the team when they clinched the divison last yr. You see Richards and Skaggs there tho all bandaged up.

Seriously? You think he didn't want to be there to celebrate with his teammates?

I commend the guy for taking himself out of a situation that he knew could be dangerous and harmful for him even though he probably really wanted to be there.

Also, are you really saying A-Rod has dealt with his situation better? He lied about what he did. Appalled his suspension and denied he did anything wrong again and when he did a apologize finally he did it in a letter. Not only that but he didn't even admit to what he did. Plus he threw everyone under the bus.

Hamilton has always been honest and open about his Substance problems and relapses when he's had them and never blamed anyone but himself.

If he wanted to be there he would have been there

he could have went to another room and changed and went home after the on the field stuff. You really think it couldn't have been arranged

[ELEVEN]

No need to be a jerk about it. Eesh.

How the F was he being a jerk about it?

No.

 

People on this board have continuously given Hamilton the benefit of the doubt for 2 and a half years.

And they end up with egg on their face every single time.

[Mile High Dreams]

I'm pretty excited about the salary relief this gives the Halos and their chances to get some more pitching depth.

[Jay]

Oh brother, another "Hamilton Sucks" thread, amirite Stradling?

[eaterfan]

No.

I'm not one of them. I hope he gets banned. But part of taking responsibility is avoiding dangerous and tempting situations. Being around that much booze is dangerous.

[Angelsfirst]

Nice post AJ. Pretty much sums it up. Lets just wait and see what happens. Still doesn't look good though.

[Tank]

this thread led me to decide to follow jose mota on twitter beginning this afternoon.

 

i already know it's going to be magical.

[Chuck]

Hamilton getting banned from baseball would probably be the best thing for him. 

 

I can't imagine traveling to so many cities for more than half of the year with all of that money and temptations. I'd probably **** up every now and then.

Yea I really hope he's gone for at at least this season. 

Might give the angels some room to sign a latin player.

Arod definitely having a better season than Josh.
