"Scioscia screws up again and you send in Diaz who has pitched 5 times in the last 6 games? What the hell were you thinking!"

I guess Bedrosian shouldn't be pitching this month because before August he had gone over a month with an era of 9.28 , a BAA of .311 with an OPS of .967

f'n Scioscia 

Bud Norris pitched way over his head for the first half of the season. He was bound to crash and he's done so in spectacular fashion. Bedrosian is still a young pitcher with potential. Two different situations. 

Back on topic: did you really think Norris would get Segura out?

But your point was that Norris should have never been brought in because of how he has pitched recently (notice I never disagreed with that). You made it a point that it's all that matters. I was just doing the same with Bedrosian based on how he pitched in July.  Potential is off the table.

If I had known that Segura was 1-12 vs Norris I would have thought he had a good chance of getting him out.

Seeing the result, however, he should have been yanked before Segura hit 2nd base

He didn't read the pregame notes Jerry left in his office

I never would have envisioned looking at last night's lineup and dreading watching Pujols bat the most.

Not sure what is worst....watching Pujols bat or watching Pujols lead the team in RBI's.

I'm sure Tyler Skaggs would like to thank Scioscia for costing him win instead getting a no-decision.

Let's hope Tyler Skaggs doesn't give a hoot 

[fan_since79]

I think Tyler Skaggs is just happy that his arm didn't fall off last night.

Getting a win is further down on his list of concerns.

Sad to say but at this point thats all i do.  He needs a break or something he just looks lost.  At minimum he should be moved down to at least 6th or something so he can stop stranding Trout 
I still have hope he can get back to being productive, but right now... hes not, at all, and wouldnt even be in the lineup if not for his name and rep.  
Give him a break, find some made up injury for a short DL stint and hope he gets it back

Let's go with 'dehydration' - it worked well the first time.

In aug he is 6 for 38 with 8 Ks 1 HR, and 1 double, yes, more Ks than hits. 
2 for his last 26 with 4 Ks, both singles, a 077 avg. 154 OPS. 
Im praying somethings legit wrong with him or something cause this is an epic slump if not. 

[bloodbrother]

.226/.269/.374 from a friggin DH in 449 plate appearances. Goddamn

Two slumps the past 2.5 weeks that add up to 2 for FIFTY-FOUR!

I love Johnny Knoxville. That doesn't mean he isn't a jack ass.

Speaking of which, Ghost Pujols' hitting and Norris' recent pitching have been one giant poo cocktail.
