What's with the uglier Alex Curry?

Curry is covering the Womens World Cup so she won't be with the Angels for  awhile

 Huge stolen base by Goodwin 

Listening to the A's broadcast as I'm a Northern Californian and it's blacked out on mlb.tv and right before that happened they were wondering why he hadn't attempted it.

It's amazing what women look like without makeup on.

This is a lame joke that Alex Curry forgot to put makeup on.

I’d seriously like to know, what discipline looks like to you for a major league catcher?

Only the Angels would come back from a 7-1 deficit only to lose because their catcher lollygags it. Seriously he needs to be disciplined for that

Sit him down and say I get that it’s a long season and it was a tough game but the expectation is that you’re tuned in and focused especially in very important points of the game... not hustling to the ball on that play was inexcusable and it simply cannot happen at this level.

 

im a chef and it’s no different than if one of cooks was half assing it and not staying focused. You sit them down and say what’s going on dude? I have an expectation and you’re not meeting it

The good news is, if this was all of those bad things for the Angels, then it must now be all of those bad things for the A’s.

Ok, fair enough.  I can not imagine a situation where that isn’t happening.  If you are in any type of leadership position you understand that accountability is mandatory.  Most fans want their players “disciplined” at a level they would never consider fair if it was happening to them when they screw up at work.

Sweet ground rule double walk off win for Garneau. LTBU 

Without the stolen base Goodwin would have been held at 3B. The stars all aligned perfectly tonite.

I’m not too sure how that would be handled in a major league clubhouse. Especially with somebody with as much experience as Lucroy but a WTF from Ausmus is necessary, imo. 

 

Although im sure it’s water under the bridge since we won

Its a treat to hear Jose Mota talk about El Nino on a nightly basis

Other than the obvious bringing the run in on a ground-rule double, it also brought the OF in leading to that horrendous route Grossman took.

even if they lost, it was never gonna happen.  Lucroy is enough of a vet to know he made a mistake and no comments from Ausmus would change anything.  I still don't like him though.

That is the absolute worst way to handle it.  I have lead people that only want to hold their people accountable when there are negative affects to their mistakes.  If they make a mistake address it, no matter the outcome.  One of the reasons I liked Scioscia is something I saw him do in spring training to Mathis on one of the back fields.  I was at the game before and the Angels blew out whoever they were playing.  Well in that game some guy on the opposing team stole a base in this blowout.  Well the next day on one of the back fields you see Scioscia working with Mathis, Napoli and a couple of the other guys.  Scioscia has a guy on first base taking a lead, and he has Mathis adjusting the angle of his body.  To me it looked like it was to give the pitcher a better target, while seeing the runner at first in his peripheral.  He keeps having him take small angle shifts, to give that target to the pitcher but see the runner on first.  Then he says can you still see the runner on first, Mathis is like yea, I can see him.  Mike says, “then what happened yesterday?”  Even that is accountability.
