Too bad poor Rob couldn't even get his last name spelled correctly in this thread title.

Lol. Is it too late to vote him in the most forgettable angel poll from a month ago?

[Bruce Nye]

Maybe you guys should at least spell his name accurately - it's Picciolo.

[Lhalo]

I copied it from Mike DiGiovanna's tweet in the other thread.

 

Complain to him. He's the damn journalist.

#Angels announce that bench coach Rob Piccilo and hitting coach Jim Eppard will not be returning next season.

Correction on spelling: It's Rob Picciolo, #Angels bench coach, will not be returning. So Scioscia/Dipoto remain. As of now.

I was actually impressed with the subtle humor of the title.  I'm disappointed it was a mistake.

[stevestevens]

I will never forget that time he forgot to tell Scoscia that Green had never bunted in his Mlb career when Scoscia asked him to bunt a runner over.

Oh piccy, you were a funny guy. A clueless guy, but a funny one.

Scioscia and Dipoto have announced that Picciolo won't be returning next year as he's been whacked.

[disarcina]

I knew all along it was this Picciolo guy's fault.

 

If we would have made this move in May, we might be in the playoffs now.

 

Yeah, what's his name again, Picciolo -- all his fault.........

 

LOL!!

[Season Over]

His page turning game was off the charts.

 

He will be missed.

And most of them have absolutely no idea what he did as bench coach.

We couldn't even get our team's name spelled correctly on Yahoo this afternoon. They had it as the Angles.

[Docwaukee]

And most of them have absolutely no idea what he did as bench coach.

A few excerpts from Rob Picciolo's resume:

- Prepared Angel hitters for matchups vs. soft tossing lefties

- Director of foreign presence

- Director of advanced scouting

- Josh Hamilton's personal batting instructor

- Mike Trout's off season dietician

- Albert Pujols personal foot massager

- Ernesto Frieri's secondary pitch coach

- Erick Aybar's makeup specialist

- Joe Blanton's whiplash therapist

- President and founding member of the 'contact play' fan club

- Assistant leg support specialist for Jerry Dipoto during dumpster excavation (Eppard held the other one)

- Head bean specialist for Tony Reagins 

[Angel Oracle]

Alas poor Piccy, we hardly knew you well.

[Lhalo]

And most of them have absolutely no idea what he did as bench coach.

He made sure the bench was prepared for each game. Duh.

[jshep]

He made sure the bench was prepared for each game. Duh.

 

And now I have the mental image of him giving a pep talk to a wooden bench.
