Scioscia looking pretty silly again

[mtangelsfan]

Good point.  I wasn't calling him dumb I was accusing him of trolling.  I suppose both are backhanded if you feel trolling is an insult.

 

You would be wrong, I honestly can't see the logic at all in what you think is going on with Angels managememt.  Seriously, what kind of pussy do you think Dipoto must be to have his employee do the opposite of what you told him to do and do nothing about it?

I don't think he tells Scioscia anything about how to play the players on the field.  It has been said several times that Dipoto doesn't have any input on how the lineup is written, just the roster.

 

I also think that Scioscia has way more power in the org than Dipoto.

So we go from pure speculation to, "Sciosica looking pretty silly again."

He claims he fills out the lineup card.  So how is that speculation?

 

Aren't you the one speculating that he isn't?

Said by whom?  I'm sure Sosh fills out the lineup card, nobody here is making an argument that he doesn't.  I'm just saying that the GM should, would and does have a say in that.  It would be ridiculous to think otherwise. 

[nate]

Scioscia and Dipoto have both said that Scioscia has full power over the lineup.  Dipoto has said several times that he has no input on how the lineup is written.

[Jay]

I presume Scioscia fills out the lineup card, the question is how does he make his choices.

 

There's no reason for me to speculate on this, I would just be making stuff up.

[nate]

So lets figure this out then.

 

Scioscia has been platooning bad players with good players since he came on.

 

Dipoto has been here for two years.

 

You all believe that Dipoto is telling Scioscia to platoon these players... got it.

[Mudville]

Nate you are looking silly here. There really is no benifit for the Angels to put Calhoun out there for evaluation when they already know what he is capable of at this level. The daily lineup card is being used as a tryout, not ment to be the fantasy GM choices.

[EDinTUSTIN]

Did anybody predict his postgame comments?

LOL, I thought about it, but I was at a meeting of an organization that I am an executive board member of. You all caught a break. LOL

[Glen]

You don't know what 'backhanded' means?

 

Come on, you're smarter than that.

 

 

Well done.

[Mudville]

Ed, you are taking your home owner association role much too seriously.

Evaluation?  Shouldn't they be trying to win?  Cowgill has no future with this club.  He is a dime a dozen.  Why are the evaluating him?

[Mudville]

Why do they need to win, Nate? Why do they not need to see more of a guy that wasn't from their minor leagues. More important is why are you so vested in Calhoun's playing time?

[nate]

For the fans?  For morale?  Because they are a professional baseball team?

 

Because Calhoun is better than the scrubs he has been platooned with and he is a part of the Angels future.

No, because you're constantly searching for examples of how Scioscia looks silly.  And when there is no example, you make one up.

[Stradling]

Maybe they see Cowgil as a fourth or fifth outfield option. Or just to see what they have if they trade away Peter, Trumbo or Calhoun this off season. Oh and it's funny that the team wins 9 of 10 doing this "platoon" but now that they lost a couple he isn't trying to win.

[nate]

This superfan shit cracks me up.  They are missing the playoffs for the 4th straight year.  Winning now doesn't matter.

 

Calhoun played in 9 of those 10 games also by the way.

[Ohtaniland]

Sorry Claude, this is about as dumb of a post as you have ever written.

Just keep turning the page.

[mtangelsfan]

Just keep turning the page.

 

Just keep being bitter.

Superfan/strawman

[Bruce Nye]

It is generally accepted in MLB that Scioscia would be hired instantly by another club because of his reputation.  I think Nate and Claude need to inform MLB that Scioscia is stupid, plays the wrong players, doesn't try to win and exercises poor judgement almost daily.

[Ohtaniland]

Is it really too much to ask from a manager to start lighting the fire in spring training instead of some time in late August? $550M in salary burned since 2010 and no playoffs. Scioscia wimps out when handling veteran players. Pujols, and Hamilton both should have been benched by Scioscia this season. This team needed a good Billy Martin type kick in the ass this season while Sosh had his good for nothing closed door meetings.

So because he will be hired instantly that means that he will be successful and is still a great manager.  Got it.
