Nevin really has zero feel for when to pull starters. Canning was pulled way too late, Sandoval just right, and Silseth too early

Beating up on the Yankees will brighten anyone's spirits

Some truly awful at bats. 

Despite being very hittable German seems like he's already generated like 25 swinging strikes

This is some twilight zone shit. Every game they have at least 5 egregious mental errors by coaches and/or players. It's wild

What even was that? That was a little league play

And invariably the leadoff walk comes around to score because at this point it would defy the laws of physics for a leadoff walk to not score against the Angels

There's the obligatory lead off walk after the Angels scored a run. Now the guy's on Second base after a steal. Sigh

Followed by a wild pitch

Mindboggling

Nevin has completely lost it

Do they even have a guy warming? what is this garbage

Galaxy brain Nevin sending a guy out on 101 pitches

These guys seriously suck

I'm convinced this organization is some sort of mentally disabled work program and Arte gets huge tax cuts for staffing guys with 50 IQ's

Gets thrown out by a mile, gets injured. Angels baseball

How are we losing this one?

1. Uncompetitive 7-2 blowout

2. Hit into triple play while down 1 run in the 9th with the bases loaded and no outs

3. Ohtani hits 4 HR's, Angels lose 16-13

4. Angels run out of relivers and are forced to use Squid in the 12th inning; he subsequently gives up 6 runs and the Angels lose 9-8

Obviously not. He was a solid choice as a transition manager when Arte was planning to sell but that's all backfired now.

Thank fully they don't require anyone pass an IQ test in order to connect to the internet and punch a keyboard.  Otherwise we would all miss so much comedic musings.

You can only go back to the "well the players just need to play well" well in certain instances and only so many times. Lately the managerial decisions have been downright baffling.

Nit picking.   Estevez was sh*t tonight.  They were all sh*t tonight.  Nobody could get out of an inningafter the 6th.  Every pitcher failed.  Every.Single.One.  How about turning your microscope on that.   Blaming Nevin isn't going to fix the pitchers inability to execute their position.

Estevez was put in a position to fail. Would you have him start a game and call him shit if he struggled, or play Ohtani at third base? No, that's on the manager.

Why?  No blame for the pitchers (from 7th inning on) including Estevez, who couldn't get out of an inning without coughing up a homer and multiple runs?
 

Or Anderson who couldn't get to the 4th inning?

Who else could Nevin put out there?  

  

Estevez has a very clearly defined role in our bullpen. I don't think he's pitched in a similar situation all year except once or twice when he needed work. And then to use Barria in the 9th when he had two awful meltdowns against the A's and Marlins is just comical

I'm not sure he's scared.  I think he's just not very smart.  

True. Don't attribute to other factors what you can attribute to simple stupidity, or something like that

God damn Nevin needs to be fired tonight. He has a team about to build momentum and lost the game. 
 

Losers. 

It's the decision of a guy who's scared shitless of his own shadow. You have a 7-3 lead, are coming off a huge win last night, and then pull that nonsense with Estevez? For all his scowling and tough guy act he manages like a battered wife. 

As bad as the injuries and starting pitching has been, they still could have 10+ more wins that they just completely gave away with loser decision making

Am I really seeing that Barria came in to pitch the 9th with a 2 run  lead?

Yep. The same Barria that's our worst high leverage reliever 

Nevin must be drinking gasoline between innings because putting your closer into a 4-run game to start the 8th inning is some absolute wet brain neanderthal shit. What an utter dolt.

Minasian’s phone is lighting up right now with inquiries from other teams regarding Ohtani. 

Nevin and the entire coaching staff needs to be swept out. And, in anticipation,  Erstad is nowhere near the answer.  

Sweet, we can now get an extra top 200 prospect while Nevin continues to throw games and the rest of the team eats their own diarrhea
