Yours. Because you seem to know so much but have horded that knowledge selfishly instead of taking a front office job. 

I am actually very benevolent.

Could have signed Tyler Nevin

LOL.  Hell I could have made that throw.  And gone 0-12

The issue at 3rd base is entirely a culture issue

A good culture would have cut ties with Rendon after last year.

A good culture would not have a team that leads the majors in injuries.

A good culture would have been proactive in anticipating Rendon and had 3 solid back ups.

Rendon and Sano. 

Who's fault is it that there isn't a better option?

Thanks to Goodrum's expert defense at 3rd base, Suarez did not give up an earned run. 

Who put him at third?

I wonder if Ron ever calls these guys retarded.  If he doesn't, he should

Yeah because it's different this year.  Players fault only.

There is zero reason that this team should lose a 4-0 lead late to the frickin Cardinals. 
 

Even  the win-o-meter probably had the Angels at a 70%+ chance of winning

How many games has that guy played 3rd base? 

If you answered 13 in 7 years you may know the answer. 

Anyone who played baseball at any level knows that it was the catchers call to cut unless the throw was uncatchable

You continue to baffle us with this top tier stupidity. 

Tier 1 collapse.

Culture issue.

Seems like every event I have attended at the Coliseum involved parking in someone's front yard.

Yup.  Didn't want to pay the $$ for the parking lot.  Then walking fast back to the car to minimize chance of getting mugged 

To the amazing women who made it possible for us to engage in sophisticated dialogue.   Also to the mothers of our kids who we hope grow up just like us!

Yes!   Shaping up to be their best game of the season! 

Now THAT's what I'm talking about!

What game are you watching? 

It was a post from earlier in the game.   Slow server. You musta been in the bathroom when that play happened.

Paris with his first hit this season. 

Yes!  They can play at this level. 
 

You gotta believe!

Nice bunt now let's   Manufacture runs 

Good heads up base running by Ward.   Manufacturing runs. 

Going 1st to third!   Nicely done boys!

Great at bat by Adell!   Young guys stepping up as they should

And he still hasn't explained why he thinks a team with Tucker, Pillar, Goodrum, Calhoun, etc. should be better than their current record. 

I just expect a big market team with their entire pitching staff healthy to be better than 14-25.   
 

The young players are doing fine.

Excellent inning by Anderson 

Unfortunately the mods won't let me start an "excuse thread" so we can pre post the reasons for the loss before the game actually transpires.   Everyone making excuses instead of holding the team on the field accountable for doing their jobs.

Bottom line is that this team is better than their record shows.   The team, and most of the posters on this board, are just too comfortable losing and blaming existential factors

Keep in mind 3 of those 10 road wins are against the Tier 6  Marlins.
