Scioscia is off his rocker

[Scott34]

Why the **** was Downs put in to face Norris?

[jsnpritchett]

He wasn't. Norris pinch hit when Downs was brought in.

[tdawg87]

I was perfectly fine with bringing Downs in. Downs just threw one of the worst pitches I have ever seen.

 

This team sucks. Doesn't matter what Mike does.

[Scott34]

Oh whoops, he is firmly on his rocker.

[Bruce Nye]

Norris was 0-12 as a pinch hitter.  Can Scioscia sit on his rocker again?

I'm not saying Scioscia is off his rocker, but Norris has very good numbers against LHP's.

He got worked by Bob Melvin (who was kind enough to spot the Angels an out for some reason). What a stupid move. At least make them waste a LHB like Brandon Moss. 

 

LHB vs De La Rosa: .238/.264/.298

 

RHB vs Downs: .245/.355/.302

 

Norris vs LHP: .272/.380/.515

 

Norris vs RHP: .141/.264/.174

 

Voght:  who cares

Incredibly stupid.  Scioscia was pulling this shit years ago.... even in 2002, 2004, 2005, 2007, 2008, and 2009. He got an insane extension and keeps getting verbal fellatio from everyone in the media, though.  Mind boggling.

Scioscia just isn't a good manager. 1 WS appearance in 13 years.

Yea but the Angels won !

[Troll Daddy]

It's intriguing when fans like to micro manage on the internet.

What was incredibly stupid?

Actually in 02, Scioscia rarely made switches like this because his only lefty relievers were Schoeneweis and Dennis Cook. Also helped that guys like Donnelly and Weber did well against lefties. 

[Erstad Grit]

Why didn't he just pull Downs like the Astros manager did earlier this year?

[BaseballMom]

He didn't want to hurt his feelers

De La Rosa does, too.
