What's to blame?

[Troutipoo27]

How can we blame the gm. Jerry in my mind went out and got why we needed...Burnett and Madsen anddddd they're hurt not his fault. And he went out out and got josh who has been struggling but hit 40 last year again not Jerry's fault. Anddd who would be starting if we didn't have Harris? Romine who has been pretty bad this year offensively.

[Homebrewer]

Take Frieri off this roster, and this team is looking up at the Astros.

[T.G.]

Buttercup.

[Brent Maguire]

It's a combo of everything. Jerry signed Blanton to a terrible deal. Arte has a big say in Pujols and Hamilton's contracts. Scioscia has many flaws as a manager. The team isn't performing up to par. Some injuries have hurt this team. 

 

That basically sums up some of the problems. Not 1 person can be blamed for this. So many things have gone wrong that the blame should be going out through the entire organization.

@Lifetime, could you please supply us the list of players on our roster that are listening to Scioscia's voice. Names please.

hamiltown can you please supply us the list of the players that are not listening to Sciocias voice? Names please.

[Lifetime]

All I need to support my argument are the scoreboard and the standings.

Basic stuff.

Check em out sometime.

well there's some rational reasoning. Basic stuff indeed.

[MattFromSimiValley]

How could you possibly ignore the management who put this team together?

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

I voted "all of the above", but Dipoto needs to be on the blame list.

hamiltown can you please supply us the list of the players that are not listening to Sciocias voice? Names please.

No I can't and I won't imply that I have knowledge about who is or isn't listening to Scioscia. I'm still waiting for your inside knowledge on this.

[Lifetime]

I didn't imply I had any so why are you asking?

[EcksteinSpawn]

It's the ******* Marine Layer.

[Ohtaniland]

I didn't imply I had any so why are you asking?

Not too many on this team have had the same voice in their ears year after year and the ones who have aren't the ones who are struggling.

 

67% of the roster has changed since Opening Day 2011 so 67% of the roster is struggling because Scioscia hasn't been in their ear long enough? That's Bullsh*t.

You have some funny math there hamiltown

31 players listed on the 2011 opening day roster including  the 6 players that were on the DL.  

21 of them are gone. Thats 67% so my math is very accurate. 

 

You still don't have an answer to what knowledge you have about who's listening to Scioscia.  

 

[Lifetime]

I gave you my answer. Why are you even asking?

And since when is going back to 2011 the discussion?

[disarcina]

we're playing tonight to end up with a 10-16 April record.........this is very much like last year -- a poor April haunted the Halos all season and ended up costing them the season.

 

can't dig yourself such a huge hole that you then must climb out of.

 

Well, we're better than Houston...........

The hole is already dug.  The only way out is to win, and win one night at a time.  Tonight would be a start, or will we dig the hole a little deeper?
