More bad press for the Angels

[Angel Oracle]

See what you created, Moreno?

It's about time to sell!

[Oz27]

It's also kind of stupid to assume that any Angel player that had these feelings about CJ would willingly share them with a reporter. The fact that he's claiming several players feel this way makes it even more suspicious, as if a sizable chunk of the roster sought out Alden Gonzalez just to vent their feelings about CJ Wilson.

lol, that's ridiculous

We'll know you're right just as soon as Alden is fired for making things up.

What's funny is that nobody is propping CJ by taking himself out of the rotation because he knows he will hurt the team.

Consider the scenario that CJ tough it out and pitches like he did down the stretch last year.

How many really wants CJ to tough it out.

[Vegas Halo Fan]

Because no reporter has ever cited "sources" in order to put eyeballs on his story or to give it credibility.

Baseless conspiracy theories are swell, aren't they?

Must be, because the author seems to be trying to create one.

Right, because history has shown us that reporters are routinely fired for embellishing and/or putting out unsourced, unverifiable garbage.

Similarly, history has told us that random dudes on the internet alleging conspiracy theories are usually right.

send his ass back to the rangers

Who's alleging a conspiracy theory? If you want to take that blurb at face value with no names, no quotes, and not even the standard "a team source said..." that's great, but I don't buy for a second that any frustrated players volunteered that information to a reporter.

[Chuck]

F Wilson.

That's all.

I agree 100%

I'll prop CJ for admitting he can no longer help the team. Better than being a stubborn asshole and killing us down the stretch.

This!!! Do Angels players care more about "toughing it out" than winning?

I wouldn't be surprised if Pujols said something like "Hey, I wish CJ could toughen up and pitch his way through this, we all go through injuries and sometimes you just have to deal with it." - that could definitely be spun to say what the article says.

[Tank]

when i become the next GM, i can see already that i have a lot of fires to put out.

 

be patient with me. together, we can make this thing work.

[YouthofToday]

The Angels organization seems to be completely rudderless and without structure. If the team misses the playoffs, which I unfortunately expect, it will be interesting what happens next.

Get yet popcorn ready.

[UndertheHalo]

Good riddance anyway, CJ seems about ready for his post July swoon. I guess you can only write about how shitty the team is doing for so long before you gotta mix it up with anonymous players talking shit drama.

[Ocangelfan]

would probably still be ok in long relief?  but is pain is too bad and pitching getting worse being off the roster is good choice.

[eligrba]

Who cares. The Angels are beginning their Great Fade of 2015 by continuously losing to playoff bound teams. WTF does it matter if CJ sacks up and goes a little further when everyone not named Trout currently can't do shit.

Maybe get some league average players?

[ukyah]

i don't give two squirts about anonymous sources because that means nothing to me. i just notice that none of the defenders want to address the double standard applied in the story. double standards happen frequently in the press and, for me, are always a sign of fabrication. 

 

wilson is a likable guy in the clubhouse. many fans may think of him as "douchey", but i've got bad news for you if that bothers you; athletes are bros.

he's performed well this season, so it's not like he hasn't helped his team win. he's been an integral part of the teams success this season, up to this point. that's undeniable.

 

so, why exactly are his teammates not supportive of his injury? what's their motivation? i just don't see it.

I will help to prepare you for your new job.

 

Repeat after me: "Yes, Mr. Scioscia."

[Angel Oracle]

Mike Scioscia the Stubborn Mule and Starry Eyed Arte have crippled this franchise!

Be gone with BOTH of them!
