Disar moving to 1B coach

[Tank]

I realize none of us played Major League Baseball but most of us played competitive baseball. How many times rounding first on a hit to the outfield did you rely on the 1b coach to tell you whether or not to go to 2nd? How many times were you running to first looking to see if the 1b coach to see if you should stretch it? I would venture to say never. However how many times are you sprinting around second on your way to third and you instinctively are looking for the 3rd base coach to know where to go or stay, slide or stand.

 

a lot of them seem to excel at putting protective batting devices on their forearms and collecting helmets and gloves.

Well, I mean, it's a start. Ideally he'd be planted on the bench. Any other 3B coach option can't be worse

[Inside Pitch]

You need a mix....and a GM who can make a mix work.....

 

Yep, Eppler seems to be surrounding himself with some quality guys.  Was really happy to see this move.

[Inside Pitch]

Great, now we have a 1st base coach that is going to wave the runner to second after a walk.

 

This is Disar you are talking about.  He may not even acknowledge them given his disdain for walks.

 

[Erstad Grit]

Disar at 3b was one of my biggest concerns last year during spring training. This is great news! I like him a lot in our organization, just not at 3b. 

[T.G.]

Lost in all of this is that Alfredo won't be at 1B... that's going to be strange.

The whitewashing of the Angels continues.

We have a gentleman that posts here who's name is Thomas Payne.

 

We have a gentleman on here?  What an improvement, LOL.

 

Also great to see that Eppler has some solid help with an assistant GM, and I like Disarcina but not as a third base coach.  I think there are a lot of other ways to use his talent.

He's been there since 2000, right?

According to the article, he (Griffin) is expected to remain on the coaching staff.  I'd like to see Roenicke back here as a bench coach, and Ebel back at third base, but the article also said that Ebel is expected to remain as the bench coach.

@Alden_Gonzalez: Source: Ron Roenicke will be the Angels' new third-base coach.

[totdprods]

Gettin' the band back together.

[Inside Pitch]

Now that Roenicke is coming back..... does it make him a "yes man" again or a coach that "used to challenge Mike Scioscia" ... guessing the narrative will need an update.

Depends on whether we are successful or not obviously.

LOL. yep, that's aw.com.

 

i have a political cartoon in my files that shows two candidates arguing. the first guy says "my plan will save us $2 billion dollars!" while the second guy says "your plan will increase spending by $3 billion!" It reminds me very much of us on this board.

I missed by the position, but that might be the most instant wish I ever got on Roenicke.  Holly Shit, I love that move.  It's the entire coaching staff that is important.  You don't have to look any further than Texas.  Bannister isn't that great himself, but he had a strong coaching staff in 2015.  He acknowledged that yesterday after winning the Manager of the Year award in the AL.

If I was going to take second, it was almost never on a cue from the first base coach. I was watching where the ball went and where the nearest outfielder was in relation to it.

[tomsred]

I think they convinced Disar to coach first base when they told him that it was a chance to show he could field foul balls better than Alfredo, LOL.  Plus now he gets to blow farts at the opposing dugout.  Then there is the Trout Factor, you get to argue with the first base umpire every time that Trout grounds out that he was really safe.  All that and you get paid to do it.
