Rodney has a 6.75 ERA on the season. He stinks

he's sucked for a while. 

he's also 42, the oldest player in MLB this year. i hope he signs a 5 year extension with the A's or Houston or both.

That's another scenario that could be explored in tdawgs "taint injury" thread. Though I have to say it would sound like a legit cause for being on the ITL for 10-12 weeks.

Same. Over a 2 MPH drop in velocity from last season is significant.

As in "it's been a while since the vjay jay got used"?

and yes.  Fletcher needs to play over La Stella mostly related to turrible defense.

Incorrect.

You're forgetting bench coach wins when Scioscia is gone for whatever

bench coach isn't the same as the manager.

Interim Manager?

Yeah I guess that's true. I just figured the guy who starts the game as head coach was manager.

Finally.... #LTBU !!!

I don’t know.  I don’t really feel like being stoic about the Angels right now.

that's a great one.  I've never seen either of them do anything like that.

It's a bad look... never would have happened if Scioscia was the manager. You don't show up your teammate.

Perhaps they just got carried away in the heat of the moment.  It happens sometimes.

In this case what other response is appropriate? They didn't go Lackey on LaStella and yell or cuss at him for screwing up. They knew they had the play in place and responded to the failure to complete it. Nobody got heated in the dugout, the play happened, they reacted then turned the page once it was over.

Of course, Fletcher being sent in as a defensive replacement in the 8th says more than Trout and Calhoun. That was definitely Ausmus saying, take a seat, you F-ed up.

Imagine how John Lackey would have responded.

You’ve forgotten all about Lackey, haven’t you?

[T.G.]

I was half kidding, folks.... at least about the Scioscia part. 

It was a bad look for Lackey and it's a bad look regardless of who you are. Not saying it wasn't justified or that I wouldn't have done the same... it's just never a good thing to show up a teammate, IMO.
