Thank you for pinch hitting with Hamilton and Conger, leading to an Angels victory!

 

Good managing tonight, MS!

If Scioscia wasn't the manager the Angels would have won 10-2.

I know you are posting this tongue-in-cheek and I can attest to that as that is basically my entire posting style but there are people here who probably actually believe this, which is kind of silly.

Thanks for dropping the Angels to the 14th pick Scioscia.

[Angel Oracle]

It's all good, as long as Arte doesn't sign yet another 32 year-old declining hitter.

That's right, this recent hot streak is doing all sorts of damage to our top ten draft-pick prospects.

This team can't do anything right. First, they put themselves in an early hole to kill their chances for the postseason...then they start winning a bunch of meaningless games near the end of the season to ruin their draft position and take away that protected pick. You would think that an organization with the worst farm system in baseball and some bloated (awful) contracts would want to put themselves in the best possible position to succeed for 2014 and beyond. Since having a farm system will be the only thing that can save this joke of a team. But no. They go on to win a bunch of meaningless games all to the detriment of the future.

 

If they're going to be terrible, at least do it right.

You would rather lose games for a draft pick than show Trout the club is moving in the right direction. They are bringing up the kids he played with in the minors. I think the comraderie is pretty good on this club. Did you see how hank and Calhoun responded to each others homers he last couple games? These rookies and sophomores love each other and that is a very good thing. Obviously we need better production from our pen but I would be comfy going into next year with a healthy rotation of Weaver, VJ, Richardson, and Vargas. Blanton could not possibly pitch any worse than he did this year but I still want him no where near the mound at 7:05. Hanson maybe in the fifth spot? Or a new starter brought in through a trade. They have played real good on this trip. Shut down pitching and comeback wins. This is he type of baseball we thought we would be watching all year into October.

A Scioscia appreciation thread? It's been awhile since we've seen one. As for intentionally losing to get a draft pick, screw that!!

[tdawg87]

Even if they keep winning they will still end up with a top 20 pick which is fine by me. So long as Arte doesn't sign Cano or some other free agent that gets a qualifying offer.

The guy loves managing National League games and he's good at it. I'll give credit where credit is due. Excellent job Sosh.

This team has been snakebit this year. Mike has made a ton of the right moves this year and the results still failed. I am not defending him because I am infuriated that he brings his teams into the regular season ill prepared to play competitive ball.

Great to see the young players getting some playing time and making it work.

 

Should give JD more confidence to make some trades after the season. Hopefully the right ones.

Sample size. I don't have much faith in many of our youg players to be productive MLB everyday players.
