I agree Ohtani has experienced bad calls. In all honesty, he is the only reason to continue watching the Angels. He is amazing.

That's a lot of effort. You should be pumped.

Why do the 5-9 hitters insist on going to plate with a bat?

His grandson is probably the right age to play major league baseball, so maybe?

I guess I wasn't clear. I'm saying analytics is being misused in an attempt to maximize outcomes that are often based more on chance. I tried.

Since I have only been watching the Garbage Halos this year, I can't imagine what a 1.179 OPS looks like or that it is even possible by someone other than Trout.

For me, analytics is an attempt by front offices to use data to automatize in-game decisions. Unfortunately, many old school managers use probabilities when make making in-game decisions. And, how a specific player is doing at that moment may impact the in-game decision by changing the probability in the manager's head. The Angels represents the guy who goes to Vegas with gobs of data and a well designed predetermined set of betting decisions who doesn't understand why they constantly lose.

I think the take away is that he felt connected to the Angels more than any other team he coached or managed and thought the organization failed in what he believed was important.

And the Angels are playing them tough! Go halos!

Billionaire self insured. The Angels are playing the odds.

The Angels have both, terrible GM and terrible owner.

You can’t coach that.

Just read some recent quotes from Maddon. Sounds like the Angels are now dead to him.

Don't make me go Jim Everett on you.

If he is available to play, he would fit in with the current roster. Maybe Brandon was 15 years ahead of his time?

You're underestimating the impact of coaching.

Add the group of young pitchers to the list of his mistakes.

Rojas with a nice piece of hitting. Pounding the ball into the ground towards three defenders. Wtf.

People who are immunocompromised need to be extremely careful.
