Just lost the last shred of hope I never knew I had.

I don’t know what the move is, but if I don’t hear somebody is fired tomorrow or that there was a fight in the clubhouse after the game I’m going to be angry. Atleast PRETEND you care about losing 11 straight.

Organization needs a total clean out, starting at the very top. Total clown show!

Re: 5/30 - 6/12 Game Discussion Thread

I had no idea this was a rule, but you’re not allowed to bring in a position player to pitch unless you’re winning or losing by at least six runs. The Dodgers tried bringing in a position player in the 9th down five runs and the umpires wouldn’t allow it and it turned in to a total fiasco, took probably about ten minutes to sort out

Wouldn't be surprised if they changed that rule. I didn't really like the logic Roberts expressed after the game, basically that he had completely given up and had no chance of winning. If it's all about probability and saving pitchers' arms why not just forfeit the game? Just feels weak AF.

The Real Angels are back 11 straight losses and under 500 just like that.. mind you would still be in the playoffs. lol

Re: 5/30 - 6/12 Game Discussion Thread

What an awesome game between the Mets and Dodgers, I didn’t think they’d end up splitting the series after losing the first two with Beuhler and Urias pitching game 3 and 4. Can’t wait for this road trip to be over be done with the 10 eastern starts until September

I want to say I feel bad for Trout, but he’s an idiot for signing an extension with that organization

God I wish one of the many times I’d been an idiot resulted in me getting half a bil.

Re: 5/30 - 6/12 Game Discussion Thread

A talented team managed by Joe Maddon is underperforming? Weird.

On another note, the Cubs are feeling like a 75 ish win team again, which is about what I thought in preseason. I got optimistic after the hot start, then pessimistic after the slump came...the mistics are averaging out now. It is nice to see some minor league starting pitchers matriculate to the Cubs MLB team--for years, that was only a myth. Kilian, Steele, and Thompson have all had their moments (or have been really really good in the case of Keegan Thompson). And this has offset the really disappointing contributions from veterans like Hendricks, Stroman and Smyly/Miley who can't stay healthy.

Maddon isn't the problem, every year they continue to ignore getting pitching. they were playing above themselves in April now it has come down to earth

The 6 day rest thing is a thing too which I think it being overlooked. they don't have a rotation strong enough to even have 6 pitchers, the Padres would be

Re: 5/30 - 6/12 Game Discussion Thread

Lars Nootbaar, Juan Yepez, and Brendan Donovan help the Cards come back and beat the Cubs in extras.

And hell of a pitching performance by Genesis Cabrera.

Except the year they used every single draft pick on pitching.

Totally agreed. I wasnt a fan of how Joe Girardi was just thrown under the bus in Philly, even though I believe the move may be the spark of urgency that the team needs to function at their best

The manager is baseball is only as good as the sum of their parts, and the Phillies have had a habit of underachieving for years and scapegoating their managers as a result. People have asked "how much was Girardi propped up by the Yankees", but how much was Gabe Kaplar really propped up by the old *** 107 win Giants team? It's a tough call to make, especially when you go out and spend tons of money and expect instant results

Only the Angels can have 2 MVP talents and still waste them with horrible rotations. How can this possibly be the fault of Maddon?

It's not just about Maddon. That's true. But he's not this baseball savant or genius that the media led everyone to believe either. Rays have done just fine without him. Cubs won that one WS. But was that because of Maddon? No. Most Cubs fan will tell you it definitely was in spite of him.

Joe is just like Girardi. In the sense. You could do worse, but you can do better too. My thing with Maddon is. He wasn't ever a genius. He was just a product of the Rays system.

It's time for the Angels to make a change.

I am more referring to free agency for the last 10 years they have done nothing to improve it. have didn't try to get a Cole or any ace like starters. Only Noah coming back from Tommy John was their big one.

Yeah and the Giants overachieved last year with pitching this year it is not going so good even with 3 of those starters back we are in the bottom 10 in ERA it has been ugly at times. so pitching can come in waves season by season of 'luck'

It is interesting you know because Joe in 2013 I think it was pretty much had a AAA team when the entire yankees roster was injured apart from Cano. and he still managed to get that team to over 500 with guys like Overbay and Nix LOL Joe was ran out of NY after coming back and winning the ALDC against the Indians over the Sanchez thing mostly. and they almost made the world series if not for Chapman's choke (and probably Houston knowing the pitches). yet was fired.

There will come a time this year when the yankees have a slide and the ;fire boone and Cashman' yankees twitter will fire up again for a few weeks.

The phillies?? well when you have DHS out there as outfielders trying to be Detroit of 2012 with no BP but worse then no manager can do that. I know Joe binder has always been a joke in the past but he had a good BP to work with all the time with the yankees. guys Like Betances and Mo who were unhitable.
