Chris Carpenter joining the Angels organization

[ThisismineScios]

Shildt was also a lifelong Cardinal. I don't think it means anything that they let Carpenter go, and it doesn't have to be because he didn't do a good job.

At last!!! A free-agent pitching ace. From 2005.

Seriously, maybe the fellow knows something about sniffing out pitching talent.

Has he been fired yet?

This is where I’m at.  Bring in as much talent on and off the field as possible. I have no idea about Molina leaving is bad until we find out who replaces him and why. 

I'm guessing Molina wants to be a manager somewhere instead of being a catching coach.

"Chris Carpenter, the last Cardinal to win a Cy Young Award, has joined the Los Angeles #Angels in a role that will allow him to work with young pitchers on their mental skills and advancement toward the majors"

Oddly enough, I've brought up the mental side of the game, confidence and consistency within the strike zone with the kid arms numerous times this year and over the last few weeks.... And I've been told, I don't know what I'm speaking of. 

Yet, here we are! Good hire~

A coach with attitude to teach our young guys how to pitch deeper into games.  Good.  This same reason is also why I hope we pursue Max.  We need a stud at the top of our rotation to go with Ohtani.  Maybe two studs.  

Confidence and the Mental side of the game go hand in hand.

That's because we are all incredible baseball athletes with a keen understanding of what it takes to be successful in today's game. Doncha know?

This guy looks to be heavily invested in the analytical side of pitching as well as people a people person first. Just from reading his previous posts to being hired. Seems like he really enjoys teaching.

I generally am good at things I really like to do (except sex) and educators of all types need to love teaching to be their best.

The sexual harassment charges are still being processed

I hope someone in the Angels organization did a complete review of all social media posts and asked for his texting history before hiring him.

Some of us, did play the game at a high level...And do have a keen understanding of what it takes to be successful in today's game...

[Angels Never Die]

Maybe just a spot start every once in a while?

No. Although, we did play RBI in our Sponsor homes.

I hope the Angels ask him if he knows how to cheat at baseball without getting caught.

I’m rather partial to it and might know a trick or two but really good at it?  Not particularly.

One of my highlights was a bunt that went down the line for a homerun.

The first person to beat the shift with a bunt.

I could score a run on the third out, as long as I crossed home before the last out was made.
