Wow. Pretty damning if true.

[laagamer]

Well then, considering we led the majors in wins last year, what the **** does that mean then?

That last year was a fluke, which was exposed in the playoffs.

The coaches are old, tired and old school. Just what Scioscia would want under his reign. 

[JarsOfClay]

remember when a pitcher with a 6 plus era would all of a sudden turn into cy young against the angels?

 

some of us have been criticizing the angels scouting and the coaches use of it for years and now it's finally confirmed.

EDIT: Nice edit

[AngelsFaninGA]

This would explain why guys making their major league debuts have like a career 0.65 ERA against us. 

[NrM]

incoming the Scioscia lovers saying we don't know anything and we're just idiotic fans.

[NrM]

I don't think any damn one of us knows how or even if Scioscia incorporates advanced metrics into his decisions.

 

[Homebrewer]

Scioscia is bound to lead this team to the division title now, and the leg-humpers around here will be ecstatic.

I don't know who Jonah Keri is so his opinions don't mean anything to me.

 

That said, I wouldn't be shocked if this was true. Just look at Bud Norris' stats against the Angels. That isn't a case of "This guy just has our number". It's a case of "What the **** are we even doing up here against this guy". Don't even get me started on Napoli.

[WallyWorld]

Olbermann said the Angels "flushed" Joe Maddon after he was interim manager. Wasn't he our bench coach who we gave our blessing to go and get the manager's job in TB?

[tdawg87]

Maddon was one of Sosh's boys. Olbermann is literally retarded.

I actually read his work pretty regularly. Very knowledgeable guy, not at all prone to speculation, and believe it or not, usually pretty high on the Angels. He routinely gives the org more credit than it probably deserves, so this report carries particular weight with me. This isn't a Heyman type who just looks for excuses to blast the org because reasons.

[Ochocinco!]

With this report it just fuels my hatred for Arte and scioscia more and more and more and more 

[Homebrewer]

Pretty much said what I have been thinking for years.

[Guest]

Olbermann is a hack.

[nate]

This shouldn't surprise anyone.  Look how unprepared Angels hitters are at times.  Especially against pitchers they should destroy.

 

Anyway, I wouldn't call it lazy, I would call it dismissive.  They truly don't think it is that beneficial.

[bloodbrother]

Not surprising. Sosh has trained his staff well and has the Owner in his back pocket

[Jay]

who's Jonah Keri

[yk9001]

I am always down for an Angels org bash, but I listened to this... very little meat on the bones in that Jonah keri interview.

 

But Olbermann remembered something Angels-related from 30 years ago.

[Jay]

The coaches are old, tired and old school. Just what Scioscia would want under his reign. 

 

I like the new Chuck, no longer a nutswinger.  Go get 'em!

[ScottT]

Maddon was one of Scioscia's boys?

yeah that was basically the best he could come up with to push his narrative that he's always known the Angels were a ****ed up organization.
