Wait... why does Maddon have an office? There's no way he studies anything, except maybe what sunglasses will make him look cool.

Is this why you guys were talking about Lisa Loeb the other day?

Yes.

No, he did it behind closed doors.  

Who the hell cares where he did it? 

[Stradling]

Having a bullpen game the day before Ohtani pitches is dumb, unless of course they are sending someone down after the game and calling up Noe or someone similar.

Damn that was close.

Would have been a HR in Angel Stadium too

It's where he gives his lectures on the unwritten rules.

Well one is showing up the player on the field, the other is sharing an opinion behind closed doors.

They are.

Is Maddon giving away this game already?

I don't understand why he keeps Guerra out there.

[failos]

Idiot Maddon.

[Chuck]

This opener shit is as dumb as @Angels 1961 opening a beer can with a can opener.

He’s smoking some dank shit that’s why

Gosselin smoked that ball. Probably off or over the wall in most ballparks. 

Yeah, I was referring to the 3 or 4 pitches that preceded it. He didn't look like he was tracking the ball at all. Two check swing strikes on pitches not even close to the zone.

Can we DFA Guerra already? He fucking sucks. He's garbage and will remain garbage.

[bloodbrother]

Fall behind in the count and become predictable with your pitches and terrible hitters like Myles Straw are gonna look good vs you

He's batting .350 in his last 10 games. 

Maybe he just thinks Gosselin is ugly.

[rageous]

Demote this useless Guerra.

I don't even know why he started this game.

Just bring up Barria and let him start and you would have far better chance of winning.

[bloodbrother]

Eager to see if Suarez can finally get his career ERA up to 9

How dare he 

[southpaw]

Lol figures he would walk the first batter.

Oops

I'll agree, Kershaw and Roberts were worse but I'm not gona defend anyone lecturing players on the unwritten rules.

Maybe this team would be playing better with a manager who didn't call players into his office to tell them that they shouldn't be playing to win.

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

Suarez fits right in!

[Jason]

Do the Halos even need a starting rotation?
