12 o'clock High Leadership

[Swordsman78]

[Angels 1961]

That is what a good player manager will do.

[Angel Oracle]

This does show his firm but also fair leadership.   Rengifo did own up to his reaction to the error Friday night.

Nevin just needs to consider tweaking some of those interesting moves he makes.

Touching!

IF Shohei agrees to stay, part of the deal may be that the halos also extend Nevin.

I doubt that any MLB club would want to be compared to the NBA.

Yesterday you said that Nevin wasn’t culpable for poor performance because Rendon is a cancer. Then last night you gave Nevin credit for leading his team to a win. So hypocrite will hypocrite.

 I never said what you just said I said.

I stated Nevin was handcuffed in getting rid of Rendon because of his contract.   I stated Rendon always being out was not conducive to team building (aka as a winning spirit).

You basically started a thread blaming Nevin for a game they won.

"IMO It's disruptive to team building.  In normal (non contract involved) circumstances "said person" would be removed by mgmt."

I didn’t blame him for a game they won. I started a thread for some shitty decisions he made.

Twelve O'Clock High was a great movie where the squadron leader had a mental breakdown. Not sure if that was @Swordsman78's thoughts with the thread title.

Prolly a few of us on the verge of a mental breakdown watching the halos tryna hold this lead.

Well, the Angels got bombed like a ball bearing factory in the 9th.

Good god your takes are embarrassing.  How are you related to Nevin?

Good managers give the best hugs.

A 12 O’ Clock Leader in a 5 O’ Clock World.

Good Leadership recognizes the strengths and weaknesses of the people that they lead.  Good Leadership puts the people they lead in positions where they have the best chance of success.

So putting the only 3 pitchers available (except Loup who would have been worse) on the mound in  three consecutive innings, watching them all fail miserably to do their job, (which is to make outs, not homers) is failed leadership?    Or is the problem  "the order they were presented to Houston".    Personally I would have liked Estevez to pitch the 9th, but evidently he was "unavailable".  Not sure who's call that was.

Any fair minded person who say its a player failure.  But of course, you don't qualify for that distinction. 

BY your own definition, none of the pitchers were in a position (on the mound) to have their best chance of success.   Maybe Nevin should have pulled the team off the field, after the 6th, since putting all available relieveers on the mound would put them in a position to fail

If Barria pitches the 8th and gets in trouble, then you can bring in Estevez to finish the 8th and have him pitch the 9th.  When you have already used your closer, you no longer have that option if Barria shits the bed in the 9th, which is what happened.
