Try to find another team contending for PS play that has had 3 hitters at .158 Boesch-.154 Mcdonald-.160 Ibanez.

It must be a joy for opposing pitchers and an emotional lift for our opponents!

if Oakland would be looking up at us if we didn't play sub .200 hitters like McDonald and Boesch and of course Ibanez??

HOHUM----more Ibanez

Ibanez could be had......he's up to a season high .164

Scioscia reminds me more and more of "The Little General" (Gene Mauch for those who don't recall) and how he manipulated day-to-day lineups.

More often than not it seemed to negatively impact the outcome offensively and defensively.

What.....no spell check included in AngelsWin

did he stay with Ibanez as long as he did???

and now playing McDonald hitting .172.

Reading your post about your gardener caused me to wet the pants of the guy next to me at the bar!

Classic

Amazing to think that when he went 1 for 5 his average went up.

Manny R would be an improvement

or we could release Raul and Oakland will grab so he can hit 320 vs. us

Let's see....do the A's have a .150 DH?........does their GM sign 41 year olds?

Ibanez might hit 325 in Oakland. 

is Ibanez our DH?

Enough already with our young talent waiting in the wings-maybe hoping to be traded!

No one wants Ibanez for sure.

Release him and eat his salary or trade him for an Oakland pretzel (I don't know what that is  but its probably more than we can get for him.

Can someone tell me?

Does he have a preference for AL vs NL---does h like to hit?

Does he like to bat and therefore does he have a preference for AL or NL?

1966  First year in Anaheim

maybe we can win a series

ended in the 10th inning Tuesday Night

Definitely will renew.

Can't replace what I have as there are many others who covet my seats.

I just give more away for a wonderful write off.

Score 12 runs

Would Tori return as manager/player.........NOW......

Team isn't getting motivation from MS

Can he manage?

Scioscia is the FACE of our Angels.

He is the one to motivate our players and gain cohension.

He is the one ultimately responsible for pitching and hitting (thru his staff).

So he cannot manage either.

If you were a struggling pitcher or hitter looking to the dugout, what would you see first?

 Scioscia's dour FACE glaring at you without expression.

 This is what opposing teams see and that motivates them to turn the screws even tighter because they have a killer instinct brought to       them in part my their coaches.

It is downright sad to look at him....................

Suppose someone keyed your BMW when it was parked in front of your home (no garage); then you moved it  onto your driveway and it happened again; then you parked it on your lot next to you home and it happened again.

Would you now move it up the street or try something like getting a camera to find the abuser to stop the damages?

You could just keep moving the auto like Scosia juggles the lineup or you could get an improved plan. Maybe a camera to show Josh the differences between his hitting approach this year vs years past-or even a different hitting coach.
