Walsh is not a pussy

I agree. But every other one of them is. I wonder what Trout would’ve done in Harper/Stott’s situation? 

I’ve never seen a bigger collection of pussies in my life. Every single one of them is a pussy. 

Joe Maddon is a fucking loser. 

This team is so bad lol. Check, this entire organization sucks.

This is awesome. Thor seems like a dude. I love his intensity. We need more and more of this.

Also like i said before, and kind of going to my comment on Sam Blum in my beautiful big mad thread.  He’s going out of his way to cast a shadow on the Angels.  In the article itself it’s mentioned several times that the situation for Angels players is notably better.  That is important.  It would be good obviously if the Angels tried to be world class.  I think they should do that.  I don’t see why an Angels fan would argue against that.  

This is fair. It also makes it quite obvious that the Angels organization has no desire to do anything at a world class level.

To unproven high school graduates?

The cost is negligible compared to the potential gain. Why would you not want to do everything you can to create an atmosphere that promotes good culture, development, and success? 
 

That’s a loser’s mentality. We should just give ‘em barracks and dry food rations! Am I right, Boomer?

Do you provide free housing? That's what I'm referring to. These players are ridiculous. 

I don’t think they are dealing with potential multi-million dollar assets. 
 

Look up the word culture. 
 

Edit: and I’d actually be curious. Companies provide housing all the time.

I'm sure if Maitan had been provided a queen-sized bed he'd be crushing it.

Wouldn’t hurt to try. I don’t know if Arte can find the resources in his financials though.

I'm curious about the teams that consistently have the strongest minor league systems, if their accomodations are better.

I’m sure there is a strong correlation.

Oh FFS, they're getting a free place to live. These players need to grow up. 

I agree. The Angels player development methodology is world class!

Sometimes I really hate rooting for this team. 

It’s incredible how this team always makes the wrong decisions. I’m sure they are meeting minimums, but why would you not want to go above and beyond? 

Imagine working for a company where the lowest person on the totem pole feels like they are treated like shit? The best run companies do the complete opposite and try and create buy in from top to bottom by showing they care. 

The Angels continue to prove how pathetic they are from top to bottom. It’s sad.

And you have no idea how he leads in the clubhouse. I have no idea either. You can grab the greatest leaders in the world, and it doesn’t compensate for shitty pitching. 

It’s a message board. Relax.

So is pretending you can see leadership as a fan. 

There are things that you can infer from watching or from understanding who Trout is over ten seasons. He’s always been quiet and does not love the spotlight. I wouldn’t consider those leadership qualities. He can lead by example, of course, but he also hasn’t been on the field.

Cool.

Apparently this is “Trouts team” according to the reining MVP.. I mean I don’t see much leading going on right now. Or ever really. I don’t think I’ve seen Trout show true leadership skills on the field once. Or that I can remember.

I agree. That’s my point. It’s just lip service. 

7 minutes ago, Bronson said:

Naw this is straight up embarrassing. I don’t care how much money he makes, there are athletes that make millions but fires their team up when they need it… if Trouts not gonna do that after this embarrassment of a game, he’s not a true leader and this shouldn’t be his team. Period. 

Trout doesn’t strike me as the leader type. Not that that’s a bad thing. I don’t think this team even has a leader. 

I wish the Angels fans cared this much. 

Arte is a clown. One of the worst owners in sports.

Okay. Thank you. 

Adell’s approach looked much improved. Great sign and hope he can keep it going. I loved the walk too.
