Now Maybin is out...

[JustATroutFan]

What damage has Scioscia done? Pretty sure he wasn't the one who signed Pujols, Hamilton, Blanton, Burnett, Madson, among many others. And not to mention the Wells trade that did not worked out well at all. Am I missing another bad trade?

[DropOfAnaheim]

Scioscia makes his best moves in the playoffs. Until he is gone, there is no hope of a ring.

Here's hoping you are missing tonight's game.

Anyone notice that members with Anaheim as part of their screename are least likely to be invited to a party?

that and "cals"

It wasn't Scioscia's fault that almost everyone we signed suffered a freak and disabling injury, aged precipitously, or just wasn't any good. The general managers and owner had far more to do with our present woes, and then there's the consistent bad luck that seems to accompany this team.

That being said, it's long past time for a change in the dugout. And Arte might consider selling the team while he's at it.

Maicer Izturis would fit in really well on this team.

Check to see whoever was doing well the last ten days -- then order his headstone.

It may take ten years to fix the damage Scioscia has done to the Angels organization.

Wonder if Dipoto picks up Wright....

[Angel Oracle]

Speaking of Dipeutered, the M's are already near the bottom of the AL, and have a nearly 5.00 ERA.   That didn't take long.

They're the only team that has suffered more injuries than we have - except, surprise surprise, they didn't have any depth to absorb the losses.

I would argue that our injuries have been more significant though.

Lost two closers, our #1 & #2 starters and a host of position players.

One more player, (15) -- 6 more days.     Not sure how big of an impact losing Shae Simmons and Shawn O'Malley for 120 days has had on them.   

Dodgers BTW with 21 players and 572 days lost to the DL blow both teams out of the water..

They lost literally their entire rotation and one of their best performing hitters. 
It's apples and oranges though - the point I was trying to make is that Dipoto's once again built a team with no depth. 

Another aspect - is it possible that perhaps with all of Dipoto's metrics and data and numbers, he's overlooked measuring the durability or health risk of players he's acquiring? If you stack all of the Angels and Mariners injuries together it looks reaaaaally bad.

Including the best player in the game for up to two months - although the full impact of that is yet to be felt.

Sure we've had some injuries but let's be real, Trout was having one of the greatest seasons in history but the rest on the lineup is atrocious. Maybin, Valbuena, Espinosa, Cron, Calhoun are all front line players that failed miserably to give Trout some support. The pitching has been pretty good without Richards and Skaggs. 

[mtangelsfan]

I think you and I have different ideas of what a front line player is.  To me, all of the ones you mentioned are replacement level save Calhoun.

...and that is a sad fact.

Any guesses on how we'll do in our four games with them?

Well they were hired to fill starting positions but we all knew who they were. Calhoun's immune system finally succumbed to the Angels team suckage.

[totdprods]

One game in, and Shane Robinson already has 0.1 WAR according to BBRef. More than Revere, Calhoun, Cron, Marte, Valbuena, Pujols....

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Five starting pitchers our.  Top three relievers out.  Best player in baseball out.

 

Has Seattle been hit with the injury bug worse than the Angels?
