At least Scioscia knows when he's getting clowned.  

What do clowns have to do with anything? The only "clown" here is Scioscia.

Where's your shine box, tdawg?

3 pages and no Lyle Spencer mention?

This thread just made me realize that Strad is Scioscia.  It all makes sense now.

Napoli is arguably the greatest catcher the Angels ever had, at least with the bat. There have been 50 Angel catchers with 100+ PA. Napoli is second with 11.9 WAR to Boone's 13.1, but he did it in 506 games compared to Boone's 968. He's also third in wRC+ with 120, but the only two players ahead of him -- Charlie Sands and Jett Bandy -- have less than 150 PA.

Actually, that's an interesting tidbit: Bandy has a 139 wRC+, making him the best hitting Angels catcher with 100+ PA. Of course that won't last, but still.

I'm no expert, but I've heard defense is somewhat important when playing catcher.

i haven't read mention of it in this entire thread.

You learned that in a thread where I was obviously joking and not in the countless threads where I defend him against asinine over reactions?  That's weird.

Has anyone seen them both in the same room at the same time?

I've seen them in the same bed at the same time.

Dude how many times do I have to say, "happy Birthday"

[Stradling]

You probably have zero idea when someone is joking, but that isn't a surprise, you have a single focus and are probably incapable of such things as sarcasm or sense of humor.

Who would have thought that...in 2016...we would go to Angelswin.com and still find Mathis and Napoli threads on the first page?

[Stradling]

Anyone who was here in 2011.

Or 2012, 2013, 2014, 2015...

In our hearts, every thread is about Mathis and Napoli.

Dude is on fire and about to be in the conversation of MVP. 

Scioscia won't vote for him!

Napoli and his team mates will play four games against BFScioscia's Angels in a 4 game series. Napoli has a history of playing good against the Angels.  Any predictions for Napoli in this series ?

My prediction is that it won't matter much.

Must an old Angel fan, I remember when Nixon use to show up at a lot of Angel games with Gene Autry,.

Yes, I'm old enough to know that it could always be worse than being 18 games out in August.

Yep, 1971-1977, and 1990-1994 say hi.

At least the first period included Ryan and Tanana.   Salmon's rookie season and Harvey's dominant closing were about all there was to the second period.

My prediction is you'll say a lot of dumb shit about Scioscia.

holy crap. I honestly thought you were about 18 years old. if i've disrespected you in any way in the past, 

 

it was probably warranted.

If we'd kept Napoli and never made the Wells trade, and also signed Beltre, I think the 2010's would have been a far better decade for the Angels.

Undoubtedly. Skippng on Beltre was a HUGE mistake by the Angels. Not passing on Wells was a HUGE mistake by the Angels.

Shine I don't do this very often but you're more annoying than any poster I can remember, and beating out Lifetime is quite a feat. Im not trying to mod or anything, but from one member to another please chill the fu** out.
