They tell us that we lost our tails
evolving up from little snails.

Are we not men?

Understand that a lot of comments are brought on by those that have so much love for a player yet know so little
I am not coaching these players and I am acting as a fan not a coach not a player not their instructor. Your lack of ability at playing this game shows often in the fact you use all stats and no past experience as a player

When you've thrown out three guys in a game for arguing with you
I’d think you start to wonder if you were being too harsh.
~Till the Halo burns out...
You'd think
but then I once worked with a LL ump who tried to eject an entire section of bleachers for riding him, and, when hey refused to leave, called the game and left.
Chuck Finley is my homeboy
I love Rex and Phyz speculating on why the Ump's in a bad mood. XD

All I really came here to say is...
Send Mathis to SLC.
S-Rod and Wood are even looking better than him, and they have less combined career AB in the majors than Mathis has just this year.
Time to give Wilson a shot at backup, Napoli full time job, and Conger sooner rather than later.

Probably because winning in the playoffs is a priority.

Now I know this is pushing the hypothetical pretty hard
but what if Vlad pulls a hammy on the way to first?
Chuck Finley is my homeboy
What if he gets hit by a line drive in the dugout?
What if he pulls that same hammy at any point in a regular season game for the rest of the year?
Bench him until October.
by Caseys Kiss of Death on Aug 31, 2008 3:28 PM PDT up reply actions
Or you know, rest him when you've got the chance, don't take too many chances.
~Till the Halo burns out...
One at-bat is not "taking a chance"
his hypothetical is unnecessary fear-mongering that suggests that, in easily winnable games, you should never play your better players for a single at-bat ever, because he may get injured.
One at-bat is not taking a chance any more than playing him any day ever is. When the alternative in the 9th is Jeff Mathis, there’s no reason to not play him.
by Caseys Kiss of Death on Aug 31, 2008 3:31 PM PDT up reply actions
But it still kind of ruins the point of giving the guy an off day.
And unless you want Napoli to get his shoulder injured again, Mathis needs to play every 4th day.
~Till the Halo burns out...
"him" was actually a reference to Vla
a guy’s day off isn’t ruined by something that couldn’t possibly, feasibly, in any circumstance, interrupt his rest. He may spend all of two minutes doing minimal physical exertion. His day off still would serve a purpose, while greatly increasing out chance to win.
by Caseys Kiss of Death on Aug 31, 2008 3:35 PM PDT up reply actions
The point of a day off is no exertion.
Lets your body concentrate on healing. And even so, if you take out Mathis for Vlad, Naps has to come in. We don’t have anybody who can play 2nd/SS for Wood/S-Rod right now. That leaves just Juice/Reggie to PH for.

An at-bat in the 8th or 9th that could win or lose a game

Cause mike decided to rest those guys.
And we’d already won the series.

Whodathunk we would be rooting for a former Ranger come August...?
It's the wood math s-rod black hole for the 9th
Any chance we see a pincher?
If GA wasn't so lazy the Halos woulda won the 2008 WS by now.
i should hope that Naps comes in
and perhaps… never mind. only outfielders left

Josh Lewin is curious how serious the Angels are about resting the guys.
Ain't no stoppin' us now. We got the groove!
HGH is hitting in the 9th.
I think Soth is already sharing a meal with Torii and Vlad.

Bill Hohn= New Cowboy Joe West
Only 200 lbs lighter
He should not have been batting there.
We just needed a single from one of our two better hitters to tie.

but it’s hard to blame a guy who wasn’t playing all day

Gah. K'd.
Let’s go Sean rod, get us the tie game.

The Soth was VERY serious about resting Torii and Vlad.
I think the Soth feared a 16 inning game.
Ain't no stoppin' us now. We got the groove!
Figgins
0-4 in the leadoff spot.

lackey
bad pitching
My curse on the angels: I have been to 3 of his 5 blown saves, I was at the no-hitter for weaver, and I was there when Maicer had a season ending injury.
I am one LUCKY fan
