Huston Street Vents

[papawealey]

Kudos to Street.

 

The only urgency I see is one to get to the golf course.

[Blarg]

Scoscia has none, the players have none.. im for one am tired of watching guys get paid to play a kids game and act like it doesnt matter.  we care more than they seem to, and something is wrong with that in sports today in general.

I am happy that he blew up, wonder where the team leaders are that he had to be the one to do it, and the blown save doesnt matter is int like anyone on this team has been perfect so. 

 

Going hitless again with a couple of strikeouts while hitting .176 for August, I guess that guy shouldn't be stepping forward to call out the other players for underperforming and leave it to someone else.

 

Unfortunately if Cron were to speak out he would be sent back to Salt Lake to work on some things.

[floplag]

There are thing you blame the manager for... losing the team, is paramount, but the team playing like they dont care is another. 
No, they are not responsibile for performance, ive said that many times myself, but attitude, the general mentality of the team, yeah, thats on them, and im sick and tired of seeing him tip his cap and turn the page, get pissed man losing sucks.
Scoscia needs to help them accountable, and himself... turn the page is a nice attitude after one tough loss, not seasons of it 

[DowningRules]

Hell yeah!  I'm Team Street.  Thirsty for Street.

[gurn67]

Every game Sosh ever suited up for as a player, Lasorda was his manager. I'd like to see even a little of that fire and passion.

We have to many laid back guys on the team. They need a Kirk Gibson or Darin Erstad type fire on this team. To many laid back go lucky guys, need some guys with fire on this team ! thank you Street !

[seenoevil]

I think the Angels are executing the "tip the cap" and "turn the page" as well as I have ever seen. 

 

That shit only works on team with high intensity

i think the problem with that is it would be a guy like erstad yelling at a bunch of hitter like erstad.

And trust me, im a huge erstad fan, one of my all time 1 or 2 favorite angels. His bat just never came around like we all expected.

So the point is guys who are gritty and natural leaders are great, but you also need talent, which this team is lacking in a huge way.

[Tank]

i think street is doing the right thing here. the guys sometimes need to get some motivation and fire from each other, and not just rely on the manager (if that's what they've been doing).

 

none of us really know since we're never in the room with any of them.

Why hasn't the REAL leader, Mr. Pujols, stood up and voiced his opinion as a leader? Oh wait, he did, by calling his current teammates garbage in front of said teamates. Job well done sir.

[ScottT]

I feel like I'm in the clubhouse when I read this board. So much great information.

For one, that is something that may or may not have happened, Albert denies it, but that doesn't mean it didn't happen. For two just because you didn't hear about Albert voicing his opinion doesn't mean it hasn't happened.

[Vegas Halo Fan]

We don't hear nearly everything that is said in the clubhouse. I'm not going to express an opinion about something I don't know anything about. I can't say who is a clubhouse leader and who isn't, or who has spoken up and who hasn't. That said, it is refreshing to have a player openly state that some guys need to pick it up.

[Blarg]

Well, that pep talk lasted two innings.

Errors haunt again.

Yes but who is in the closet?

 

I'm going with Gia.

[The Ghost of Bob Starr]

Love Street, but he's a fool.

He's either calling out Trout or Pujols, because it doesn't take a genius to figure out the Angels don't have it.

They've tried what 6-7 LFs, and 3-4 3B.

Their aren't enough horses in the barn to compete with these stacked teams. We are not stacked.

Can't matchup with Toronto, KC, Houston, or even Texas, Orioles and the Yankees.

Like clockwork.

[Streetkid]

Love everything he said.

[Doug Van Oort Sr]

This will motivate the Angels to only lose 8-4 tonight.

 

That was hopeful thinking

[Slegnaac]

you guys are funny. always looking to blame the manager when the players don't perform.

the most successful manager during the most successful era, and you guys want to dump him like a bad habit.

At least part of his success was due to the players performing.

[CaliAngel]

How urgently did he blow that save last week?

Clown post brah.

Street has been one of, if not THE most consistent pitcher this team has had for the past 2 seasons.

[stormngt]

  I think it is really funny that so many know exactly what is felt and going on behind closed doors within the team, yet you are not part of those meetings or even part of the team.  We don't know who is being the leader.  We don't know who has given up.

My closets usually don't care what is going on.
