The Angels can make history!

[FabulousFabregas]

We could break the franchise record for consecutive losses.

[cysomeawfulpitcher]

We'll have the record for most losses while still keeping our manager for the next season because Morono is in love with him.

[fan_since79]

Arte should rush to extend him, because a manager with job security can relax and do a better job.

 

[Oz27]

It's our first 10 game losing streak since 1999, so first of the Scioscia era. We've done 11 five times and 12 once, in 1988. 13 would make history.

[Jason]

With this pitching staff it is easily in reach

[eligrba]

Nice to see a positive thread about this season.

 

[TooCool]

Arte's probably like, "Yes! Make sure the Guinness book of world records report this!"

[Tank]

nice to see that only the manager is responsible for losses, not the players or the AA replacements called up to sub for the 238 players we have on the DL.

[Angels#1Fan]

Give it up Bob. lol

[Stradling]

Someone is consistently stupid.  So stupid it's gross. 

[Stradling]

Yes and it's a bad kind of last place.  Lots of times when you're in last place you have young players to be excited about.  Our young player to be excited about is Trout and he's been here for five years.

[Redondo]

Nolasco and Chacin for the next 2 games. We will need to score a lot of runs to win either of these games

I'm going to the game Monday night. Hope the Angels bats are awake.

Nolasco vs. Felix, an almost guaranteed eleventh straight loss

12-0 The Angels have won every game that Scioscia has missed since becoming manager of the Angels.  He needed to miss one game last year and the Angels would have made the postseason. 

Jeez this gets tiresome. And I say that as someone who thinks Scioscia has become a cancer this team needs to rid itself of pretty badly.

[kingsosha]

nolasko and chacin ? felix and paxtin? this should be some good base ball

[Troll Daddy]

Scioscia looking out for the future of the team.

I'm sure that Nolasco and Chacin will become Cy Young candidates once Scioscia is let go.

Yep, that's exactly what I said

[gurn67]

If they're going to miss the playoffs, might as well get the highest draft pick possible. Hopefully, one of the 10 protected ones. That way Arte can go out and sign 36 year-old Jose Bautista to a long-term 9 figure contact to fill that left field hole and still keep the pick.

[Oz27]

"One strength of this year’s class appears to be the depth of college pitching, particularly in power conferences. Tanner Houck, Alex Lange, Alex Faedo, Clarke Schmidt, Tristan Beck and J.B. Bukauskas have all shown explosive stuff, and they are just a few of the college arms with the potential to be first-round picks."

It's never too early to start dreaming.

They'll draft a toolsy catcher and you'll shut up and like it.

The hardest part of this is the total hopelessness of it all. There isn't a single prospect who we are anxious to see. Our roster is largely old and/or overpaid. Our acquisitions are other teams' releases. Ownership has stopped spending to fill holes. This could drag on for years.

Well dammit, that prompted me to do my regular check of Taylor Ward's stats. So depressing.

There are a lot of things that this team needs to address before they should even consider changing the Manager.

Disagree. A general manager needs legitimate control to fix this mess and the events under Reagins and Dipoto suggest that hasn't been the case with Scioscia as the manager. Regardless, it would be more than nice to have a manager who used and implemented even basic sabermetric theories.
