You dare question Maddon’s decisions? Very sad 

You’re right.  My bad man.  Very sad.

Lagares....He has not made 1 decent play in the outfield and 3 or 4 bad ones, the last 2 costing them 2 games. Adell is better plus he can hit HRs

Maybe Ward is coming back sooner than we think, and they don't want Adell to ride the bench and miss out on consistent ABs.

I mean to me it’s baffling that you bring Loup into this situation with the way he’s struggled.  Why not let him get back on track in low leverage.  Just fucking stupid.  And Lagares is a mess.  What’s the point ? Might as well be Adell getting these AB’s.  Ward has been out a week for ffs.  

The same thing we collectively said last night. Fuck Maddon.

[Lou]

Perhaps the team would play better if you guys were nicer.

Ortega through 12 pitches yesterday. Shit Herget dominated with 17 pitches. You bring in your only lefty who’s struggled badly. Terrible. 
 

As for Adell, I guess he’s had the flu this week

What's that old saying? If at first you don't succeed, fail fail again?

Yep. I think Leonardo da Vinci said it.

Honestly, it was very dumb of them to not just put Ward on the IL. Maddon said they needed his bat for PH duties and he's gotten all of....1 pinch hit appearance. Pointless really. Wasted a good week having Wade stinking it up in RF and now they got Lagares being a disaster there.

Perhaps they would play better if IEBruin was more of an asshole, if that was humanly possible of course.

Your optimism is endearing.

He's strongly considering it.

To eachother or to the team?

Must be nice having a manager not afraid of using his best options

Ward DH'd yesterday, but yeah I agree with you.

[cals]

I find it ironic that people are implying it takes courage on AW to criticize Maddon.

Of course that person was Jason, so…

[Vlad27Trout27]

Pure Bullpen missmanagement...such bs by Maddon.He has no clue when and how to use the BP. 

[CaliAngel]

It's amazing to hear the amount of respect these Blue Jays announcers have for Mike Trout.

Even they sound excited to watch him bat.
