Scioscia's back to his bag of cliches

[FabulousFabregas]

Real postgame comments from the Fat Man:

 

"I thought with runners in scoring position, we squared some balls up and didn't have much to show for it."

 

"The guys had great at bats and hit the ball hard that's all you can do."

[Homebrewer]

Didn't know he ever had anything else in his repertoire.

[Homebrewer]

All I know is Cowgill went O-fer

Bag of cliches?  Come on FF, we both know he has a warehouse full of them...

I wish we could ban the word "battle" from sports interviews.

Just 'cause I'm sitting behind Johnson and Greene don't mean I have to be banned. 

 

It's not like I used PEDs.  Otherwise, would I be behind GREENE on the depth chart?  Really?

To be fair, both Calhoun and Shuck had some rocket lineouts with the bases loaded. Shuck's drove the RFer back to the wall.

Rocket lineouts and fly balls to the wall (with 2 outs) don't drive in runs, though.

I'm really, really tired of hearing the same things from his mouth EVERY game. You're not being paid $5m/season to be a broken record.

[Stradling]

Nor is he being paid $5 million to give good interviews.

Ed you've watched baseball long enough to understand that these kind of things happen. I was at the game and Calhoun hit the ball hard and Shuck of all people crushed two balls late in the game. I thought one was going to be off the wall.

[OregonLAA]

No chance Shuck hits the wall. The guy needs to quit hitting fy balls

He is interviewed after each and every game, for a team that sucks. After awhile it all sounds like a cliche. I realize a certain contingent of people would like to see him throwing chairs and jumping up and down on reinforced desks...but the reality is there's a reason guys like Bobby Valentine don't last.

 

But rest assured...if he does blow a gasket the same contingent will say it's proof he should be fired, that he's lost the clubhouse and his temper.

 

Suggestion is, if you don't like the same plain jane interview he's given for the last 13 years, whether they've won or lost...be like everyone else and don't watch.

[mtangelsfan]

Golly gee whiz, I think everybody is right in this thread.

[JAHV76]

What do you expect him to say on public TV after another loss? He can't cuss and it doesn't do any good to humiliate players if you want them to play the next day. They not have any depth to call up players to replace those that aren't performing.

I've said the same thing for years.  Those interviews, at least when Scioscia is concerned, are complete and utter wastes of time.  Scioscia may not be my favorite manager, but he is right to just spout the same vanilla crap day after day.  Go off the script, and it just creates unnecessary headaches.

appearently, he's being paid 5 million/yr not to do shit.

[Stradling]

Jealous much? Sadly his contract was given to him for the same reason most big name free agents get their contracts, because of what he did. It sucks that he isn't more effective, but with this team, he is only a small part of the problem.

[Inside Pitch]

Robo-quote says the same shit when the team is winning as he does when it's losing.  Never have understood why people get so bent over it.   Dude is a boring interview.

Worse, and the REAL problem,  is that dude is a boring field manager too.

Complaints for the sake of it...it's the Angelswin way, of course...

The Angels have played so well and way above expectations this season, and the past three. Shyte, what is there to complain about indeed!

[Homebrewer]

Joshy needs to stay in there every day, and work his way out of this little slump.

Are you Lifetime's alt-account? The timing is impeccable.
