Roger Lodge calls Sosh an analytics expert & says Pujols can play until he's 50

[FabulousFabregas]

I just put on Roger Lodge for a few minutes, a caller was hammering Scioscia and Moreno, and mentioned Pujols' contract.  Roger Lodge said he believes that Albert 'will still be able to turn on a fastball when he's 50.'  He also claimed Scioscia is an analytics expert based on Tim Salmon saying that Scioscia used to print out a lot of stuff on computers 10 years ago.  He also cited Mota and Goober as sources.  He said that he doesn't think analytics or scouting had anything to do with Dipoto/Scioscia's problems, he said 'some people just don't like each other.'

Stopped reading after Roger Lodge.

[UndertheHalo]

Who's a halo honk ??

[Blarg]

Roger Lodge is able to say a lot of things on the radio as long as he is employed by the Angels.

[robblin17]

That dude was awesome. I imagine Lodge and a few people on this board would get along really well.

With that said, how does this guy host a baseball talk show? He's a moron.

[QuinlansMinion]

Roger Lodge is on crack.  

But it does make for some entertaining radio at times.

Doesn't arte sign lodge's checks?

That might be accurate

 

Pujols will be 50 in a few years

[Chris]

at least he provides a forum to discuss Angels baseball in the afternoons and is positive

 

I guess that's about all I can ask for...

Consider asking for more.

Mason and Ireland just said Lamarcus Aldridge cited "lack of analytical planning" as a reason he was not signing with the Lakers.

Was Scioscia at the meeting with Kupchak and Scott? Just three old school guys feeling it out?

[Hollyw00d]

Can't stand lodge.

It's really too bad the Angels have no decent radio show to listen to anymore.

[Aaronkv]

Printer used for scouting reports 10 years ago.

 

[LAAFANofLA]

he gets paid to talk about the Angels in a studio at the Big A, so....yeah.

[Hollyw00d]

Sosh's scouting reports probably looked like Pokemon cards

Eric Chavez

3rd base type

Strong against: fastballs, ground balls

Weak against: offspeed, bunt singles

I suppose that he didn't believe that the first statement was enough to kill his credibility, so he finished the job with the second one.

[The Ghost of Bob Starr]

Lodge is a joke.

[Troll Daddy]

Roger Lodge know more about sports and baseball than most of you. What Tim Salmon said about Scioscia's use of analytics is true. Scioscia uses old school, feel, and analytics as a manager. There's a good chance that Scioscia will be the first Angel elected into the HOF if he completes his contract with the Angels.

 

That being said ... I'm not a big fan of his show but the dude is sports savvy.

What do he know?

[Stradling]

Ok here it goes, and this might come as a surprise to some of you. I HATE Roger Lodge, he is simply put the worst sports radio guy there is. I would rather listen to that guy that's screams at you on MLB Network than listen to Lodge. If Physioc ****ed Hudler and they had a shitty kid, that shitty kid would be called a Roger Lodge. Even after all the crap that has happened this year, Roger Lodge is still the worst thing associated with Angels baseball.

Now I believe Sosh uses analytics, I have no doubt he does, my guess is he thinks he uses them more than he does or he uses outdated analytics.

[Ray McKigney]

Well, if Roger Lodge said it then it must be true.

[YouthofToday]

Roger Lodge is MLB's Baghdad Bob.

[tdawg87]

I've never listened to him before. How does one go about pronouncing his name? Is it "Roger Law-dge" or "Roger Low-dge". I've always said the latter in my head when I see his name because the former sounds absolutely hilarious. Like it's some kind of male strip club slash barbecue pit located in Lexington, Kentucky.

[Stradling]

It's the former.
