Angels suffer more injuries.

Look, you can keep playing this game but you made a demand someone apologize if their predictions didn't pan out, how will you apologize if Nevin is let go? Will you ban yourself from the Angelswin message board? Are you going to stay off social media so you can be blindly happy with your opinion?

What will you do if Phil Nevin isn't given a contract extension? Don't sidestep, have some backbone and be honest. 

 

 

Why would I ban myself?  I already paid, and am an esteemed premium member.

I was one of the very few who stated unequivocally that he would be extended last year, and I'm telling you right now that those social media instigators are spewing rumors that are not real.

 The team was contending (even with crappy SP), until the point that the injuries became overwhelming.

I could live with a rebuild that doesn't include Trout and Ohtani, but I would prefer to keep those guys and Nevin, while they nurture the new young core.

Perry and Nevin seem to work well together so Arte would have to fire both or none.

How is that for taking a stand?   Now let's see your prediction and others who want to chime in on this subject.

@Swordsman78, I don't know what you do for a living, but you should consider politics.  You constantly deflect and evade questions.  You don't want to be  held accountable and you have a high opinion of yourself.

Be accountable in what way?  If my takes prove to be wrong then I will acknowledge it.  Will you?

I'm stating he will be back.  You and Blarg say he won't be back.  So now we are all on record. 

 I said Moose was removed from the game due to (2) awful errors.  JsnPritchett says Moose was removed because he developed a sore wrist in the dugout after the errors.  We are both on record for that as well.

Maybe our offseason budget should go into a new training staff.

The first part of this statement is true but the second definitely isn’t.

I never said Nevin would not be back.  You really should consider politics. 

Regarding Moose - you went from stating Moose was taken out of the game for his performance as a fact to saying you "think" that was the case.  You basically said his injury was fake.  That's not being accountable.

In your opinion will Nevin be back as manager?  

As far as the Moose situation, yes my take was that Moose was taken out due to the 2 awful errors and that the "injury" claim was to allow Moose to save face.  Was his wrist dinged up?  Maybe, but not enough to keep him from being in the line up prior to the errors.

Since Minasian is only guaranteed one more year (contract wise), it would make sense to bring Nevin back for one more year.  If Minasian gets an extension - I think he'll drop Nevin and hire someone else long term. Would Nevin accept a one year deal?  I'm guessing he would. 

That being said, nothing would surprise me.

I simply repeated what was reported: that he injured the wrist prior to the misplays, tried to play through it, it limited him, they took him out, they put him on the IL.

It's bizarre that you keep insisting on your version of the narrative. Why would Moustakas even need to "save face" anyway? Lol. 

 

[Stradling]

I love that Moose’s year ends not because he was injured but because he made two errors.  That is quite the mental gymnastics.

So to help him "save face", they said, "Hey, Mike, we're just gonna end your year."  Yeah, perfectly logical reasoning there.

Haha.  Your boy Nevin pulled Moose out of the game, to help him save face, then convinced him to go on the IL as to not hurt his delicate feelings effectively ending his season.  I mean, that is one of the most absurd things I have ever read on here and we had a guy named HaloThunder who majored in eating paste.

I don’t even hate Nevin, but when he is let go at the end of the season it will bring a smile to my face.  I mean unless they do retain him, so he can save face.  Because that is all the rage.

Let's see what makes more sense.

Fact: Moustakas played 38 games at 3rd base and commits a total of 3 errors for the entire time with the Angels, two of which occur in the same game. This is the same Moustakas that had called a team meeting to get the players head in the game and act like professionals so they could make the playoffs.

Scenario 1) Moustakas was trying to play though an injury and wound up on the IL.

Scenario 2) Moustakas commits two errors in the same game and Nevin pulls him for playing like Dorn and then forces him to sit out the rest of the season on the IL for him to save face.

This is the guy that either played through pain or was a jack off.

I think it is pretty obvious which scenario is true and which is false.

Yea but I don’t hate Nevin. Quote me, I don’t give a shit. My opinions of him are based on things he’s done or not done. You literally are making up a scenario where he pulled a player and put him on the IL so that 13 year veteran player can save face.  it’s comical.

It's not only comical it cannot happen without a medical diagnosis and if that were made up the doctor's would be looking at losing their license, the players union would be all over Nevin's ass and Minasian would have fired him the same day for fucking with a depleted roster.

It is more than comical, it is straight out delusional.

hated; hating

: to feel extreme enmity toward : to regard with active hostility

Also me starting a thread asking if we would rather have Nevin or Bochy is flaming him? That’s cute.  The results absolutely flamed him.
