Kook

Watch him sit tomorrow.
 

Roberts looked pissed going back into that tunnel 

Only in the lineup because Scioscia knew it was raining. He didn't want the vets to waste energy warming up. 
Am I doing that right? 

That explains it then. I knew had to be too fresh to handle things. Hopefully he’ll adjust as the season goes along. 

To be fair i don't think he assumed going into the season that he would be closing games after never pitching past double-a in his entire career. Too much to ask of him and he has done a good job considering the circumstances so far.

None of these relievers has confidence.    It’s a joke.

Anderson just has zero confidence when he pitches. Aren’t these guys major leaguers? How they make it this far w/ that attitude. 

Everything said by anyone is an “opinion” no more than a scientist proving something is just a “theory” until he’s proven wrong. Nothing you’ve said in the thread is more right than someone else, just more opinions. 
Talented players will go a long way, but you can still get the best possible production out of what you have. Starting 13-3 and where they’re at now is all mental. If it was physical they’d be on the disabled list. Agree management change alone won’t magically fix everything.  No one said it would. Just this is not working for how many years now and things will get better and not worse trying another manager (opinion)...
Teams would die for Trout/Ohtani talent.

You must be a little young if don’t know how the working world operates yet, no offense. 100% of the jobs, not 99%, not 90%... 100% of the jobs that have a boss, manager, superviser, whatever... is responsible for the staff below him.
While Scioscia isn’t the one swinging, pitching or defending, he’s responsible for the proper training, coaching, morale, line up, calls from dugout, strategizing and having everyone in sync to minimize the bad play. 
Theo Epstein joins the Red Sox and they break their drought and win 2 World Series. He then joins the Cubs and have them win. It all stems from the top down.
Yes, it’s Scioscia’s fault, else what’s the point of having a manager.
Rant off

If they brought in Epstein the first Thing he would do is fire Soscia in order to change the culture of mediocrity.

Sounds like you got proven wrong and you're bitter...maybe I'm wrong

He's probably yelling at them right now in the clubhouse. The bland, bored look is just for our consumption. He's a holy terror behind closed doors.
?
 
 

Same ol’ shit and Scioscia has no reaction. Go eat more lasagna. 

I guess that can happen when you swing and miss a lot. 
Seriously, I hope he finds his way back

Is there a reason you tag me in like every thread

Remember that number? ? Got excited a little too fast.  Now it’s a season to see how close Kole can get to .100 BA.

17-24 since the 13-3 start.

Unless you're talking about herpes

It's what happens when you have a group of hitters good at getting on base and another group of hitter good at Facking shit up.

Man this team is putrid with runners in scoring position 

It all involves Koles at-bat everytime that kills any rally. Automatic 1-2 outs
