this team sure seems to be getting a lot of injuries that are rather soft in nature - meaning, they're not from running into other players or crashing into walls or getting hit by pitches.

You couldn't make it up

I hope Nico's walk-up music is "Biko" by Peter Gabriel.  As used expertly in the Miami Vice episode "Evan."

Pretty good numbers in 18/19…not much since…

There is a culture problem on the Angels.  Too many front office, players don't care.   Sorry.  Just collecting a pay check.

The “problem” is we don’t have much talent.

The talent we have should have a better record than we currently do.

At least now it isn’t the manager

I have no idea why you think that.

At least now you're finally realizing it never was the manager.

He was certainly part of the problem

I just don't see the effort being put forth or a commitment to winning/excellence.    That's a culture problem.   Nor do I see the fans holding the organization accountable.   This all fine and dandy, but we should all just enjoy baseball for the sake of baseball instead of complaining about Arte because deep down most don't care "enough" to actually organize a boycott or anything within their power to financially make it painful for Arte, or retweet articles critical of the organization.   Instead, most will defend the organization as it just gets worse and worse.

Do you think they're not taking enough pain? This is an honest question.

[Stradling]

There’s no such thing as holding him accountable.

This word salad does not address what I said in any way.

You certainly seem to think the team record has  been wonderful since he left.

You certainly are stupid and simply make shit up.

How can we tell when Artie and Carpino won't hold a press conference to address the situation and provide a plan moving forward?    What person would hitch their wagon to an organization that won't communicate or say anything to show that these terrible results are unacceptable and a maximum effort will be made to become a playoff team.

Look at the number of mental mistakes that have cost games.

Look at the number of errors that have cost games.

Look at the number of players that can't stay in the lineup.

Look at the results of the lower levels.

Look at the lack of communication to the fans from the front office.

Look at the clap back at any sportswriter who tries to hold the organization of player accountable.
