AO, I get it. 

Look at the lineup. Phil Gosselin is batting 3rd. 

Plus I’m in no mood for this losing crap!

Power outage for 21 hours, no F’ing end in sight!!!!

where is Strad to tell us Lagares is a great fielding outfielder?

I’m right here.  Ohtani didn’t have it tonight and the shift is dumb. 

[Angel Oracle]

It’s like either Maddon or the scouts advising him are trying to lose.

Why else continue to use usually failing shifts?

[Jay]

Jeez the Angels suck.

Yes.

Just because Victor was telling it like it is?

Yes it got deleted because Victor had opinions that you agree with.

You really don't want to do this.

Go to a bar and watch CFB.

Let it go please re: that thread. 

I shouldn't have let my personal friendship with Victor get involved in that thread, especially after having a few bourbons.  

What is done is done.

Arte has nothing to do with the shifts.

I think Maddon just gets the data from someone else.

They have shifted even when the hitter tendencies show the opposite.  It's not the data.

I wasn’t watching and I’ll probably get a straight answer from you over anyone else right now.  How was his velo?  Is he just exhausted?

His velo seemed normal, kicked it up like he has been when he needed an out.  Location wasn’t great so that could be fatigue.

Or shitty data.  But if IP, Blarg and Doc can get that data the front office surely can get that data.

Damn it Chuck. I missed that thread. I googled it and found the athletic article and read the free part. I love how honest he was. I'm just surprised it took him that long to get pissed off. I'm glad he got interviewed even if it was just a courtesy. I have a feeling that management didn't like the direction Victor wanted to take the team. Probably clashed with Moreno's flawed view. If we aren't discussing it anymore, that's a shame but I am glad Victor said those things. Maybe now Moreno will listen to some of the stuff he said or maybe he has already.
