Maybe the slump is not what the Angels are not doing but rather what all of the other teams are doing?

 

Just heaving it on deck and seeing what happens....

Homebrewer is staying subdued, calm, even somewhat objective in a thread about Scioscia and his coaching staff?

According to Fangraphs the Angels are 15th in hitting, 17th in pitching and 8th in fielding.  Is it only half the teams that are doing something the Angels aren't?

 

By the way, the A's are 27th in hitting.  Maybe stats can't overcome talent.

The Blue Jays aren't doing it.

A busload of slump-busters from the Banning-Barstow area might be in order..

Baylor isn't the problem, he may be awful, but I"ll give him more time to prove himself

Banning and Barstow are like 2 hours apart.. Kind of weird for you to say that lol

Nobody can make this offense be consistent. Still shocking someone hasn't jumped the shark and attacked Baylor though.

Wait.. Baylor is guarded by sharks?

No, "jump the shark" this is a TV reference now used to refer to writers submitting scripts without first proofreading them while sober.

 

In the hit FOX television series Arrested Develoment attorney Barry Zuckerkorn, played by Henry Winkler, goes out of his way to jump over a recently caught shark on a pier in Newport Beach before heading off to Burger King.

Talent and methods aside, I think the Angels are long overdue for a complete coaching change.

 

My observation is that Scioscia chooses coaches who are personal friends rather than people who contribute anything. Case in point: Mickey Hatcher, who Sosh is still sore over Dipoto dumping.

Jumping the shark is an idiom created by Jon Hein that was used to describe the moment in the evolution of a television show when it begins a decline in quality, signaled by a particular scene, episode, or aspect of a show in which the writers use some type of gimmick in an attempt to keep viewers' interest, which is taken as a sign of desperation, and is seen by viewers to be the point at which the show strayed irreparably from its original premise. The phrase is based on a scene from a fifth-season episode of the sitcom Happy Days when the character Fonzie jumps over a shark while on water-skis.^[1][2][3]

the line immediately before the part you quoted says this:

 

"Henry Winkler's character jumps over a dead shark in the 2003 show Arrested Development."

[ABC]

I don't see what you're talking about.. the only AD reference is:

 

The series continued for seven years after Fonzie's shark-jumping stunt, with a number of changes in cast and situations.^{[citation needed]} As a nod to the episode, Henry Winkler's character jumps over a dead shark in the 2003 show Arrested Development.

Players are responsible for their own swing. They're at the top of their profession right now. The performance is crucial to their success as a player. The better hitter you are ... the bigger the contract. It's like a golfer ... they all have personal instructors.
