Angels' record after getting chewed out?

PrintDuring today's comeback, Phyzz and Hud were talking about the Royals' manager and the way he chewed out his players not too long ago. Whether it had any effect is doubtful.
That got me thinking: the Halos were chewed out in the locker room by our own Mike Scioscia not too long ago. I forget the date, but does anyone out there know what the Halos' record is before and after Soth blew up at 'em?
Just curious, folks.

HE chewed them out:
after their final road loss to Tampa Bay. And they have been kicking ass since then.
I wonder if FSW reads HH
They made the point several times tonite that we’re 26-9 (now 27-9) since then.
Angels fan since '67
Tim Kurkjian and ESPN Surely do not.
This morning Kurkjian was blathering on about how the Yankees were the hottest team in baseball right now, scoring the most runs, with players (ARod) still coming up to full productivity, and would be #1 on their next power rankings.
No mention of any other team in all of baseball.
Of course, since June 11:
The Halos are 27-9 whereaas the Yanks are 24-11. As hot as the Yanks are, they would be 2 1/2 games back.
The Halos have averaged 7.9 runs per game, whereas the Yanks have averaged 6.3.
The Halos are 9-1 over their past 10 games, wheraas the yanks are 7-3.
The Halos just swept the Yanks two weeks ago, and outscored them 29-18.
Weak AL West did you say? Well…
Halos versus the AL East: 17-9
Texas versus the AL East: 16-12
M’s versus the AL East: 12-9
A’s versus the AL East: 14-14
Meanwhile…
Yanks versus the AL West: 11-7
Sucks versus the AL West: 8-16
Rays versus the AL West: 7-12
Jays versus the AL West: 10-7
O’s versus the AL West: 8-17
Yankees winning percentage in the AL East: .514
Halos winning percentage in the AL East: .654
Finally, STFU and STFD if you think you are even going to start comparing personnel challenges with the 2009 Halos. Sosh should be handed the 2009 AL Manager Of The Year by fiat for what this team has done with so many issues.
We don't have a Bullpen. We have a Cowpen. Before we get to call it a Bullpen these guys gotta grow a pair.
The date was June 7th

I am happy to introduce All Star Third Baseman, Chone Figgins.
No. The chewing out in the locker room was on the 7th that moosemastr was referring to.
The meeting on the 11th was the decision to send Howie Kendrick to AAA Salt Lake. Two very different things. Try reading the post again.
I am happy to introduce All Star Third Baseman, Chone Figgins.
The Kendrick thing is starting to pay off as well.
It’s not often we can say Howie was responsible for kick-starting an offensive explosion.
Let's win one for Nick
Nothing like a trip to the Salt Mine to get a player's head straight and bat swinging again.
I am happy to introduce All Star Third Baseman, Chone Figgins.
from my link
After a closed door meeting in Tampa after a loss yesterday rendered a 4-5 road trip that seemd like it was 0-9, the players responded,
The link you provided was about the meeting to the bullpen. The link that i posted was about the torrid road trip the team had, and when they started to play with pure luminous awesomeness after the meeting before the trip home.
moosemastr, can you decide for us?
I guess you can't pinpoint it to a single event.
Soth did a lot of things to right the ship. Sorry to start an argument, but the incident I recall hearing about was with the team as a whole, when offense was a huge problem as well as the bullpen.

My link contains only a few selected quotes from the Bill Shaikin LA Times story.
These quotes were the juiciest pieces I needed for my story. There was much more to Bill’s story than what I quoted. The original newspaper article is too old to be found any longer in the Time’s archives, so we cannot go back and reference it. I have sent an e-mail to Bill Shaikin of the LA Times to see if he can help us clarify the date of the chewing out of the whole team by Scioscia. I have invited him to respond here on Halos Heaven or e-mail me directly and I will relay it here. Hopefully Bill Shaikin will respond to my request.
eyespy, your link does not actually say or describe any chewing out by Scioscia even happened. The closed door meeting June 11th could have just been a conversation between Howie Kendrick, Scioscia, and his staff.
I am happy to introduce All Star Third Baseman, Chone Figgins.
June 7th, after a 9-6 loss to the Tigers immediately prior to the road trip into Tampa.
Context clues in the Shaikin article, talking about a grand slam, four walks, and a come-from-ahead loss, plus the location of Detroit for the article, all point to that being the night Scioscia blew up.
Our record since then is 27-11, not quite as wowing as the 26-9 number, but still.
~Till the Halo burns out...
The meeting I remember was the right after the TB blowout.
I was at the very next game, with Izzy playing second and HK not officially sent down yet, and we won that in convincing fashion and have been on a tear since (with a quick bad tried to Texas sandwiched in there).
Let's do this for Nick Adenhart, Courtney Stewart, and Henry Pearson.
we’ve been haulin ass
Please get rid of Speier. "Yes, I suck."- Jose Guillen.

Terry Smith was going off about this...
he said we had something like the best BA., record, home runs and Runs per game average since our loss in Tampa Bay in the entire majors…WHOA.
Do it for Nick '09

Sort of off-topic...
ok, more than sort of, but did you or anyone else hear Rex hinting that Napoli might be traded? I can’t believe they’d do that.
.... as sexy as socks on a rooster.
Allen Iverson owns that title...
what was the question, though? ;)
I love this team.

Well we still have
Bobby Wil-…… Ryan B-…….hmmm. Hank Conger?

Yeah
And Sosh probably chewed the players out after Vlad and Torii went down. 9-1 with them out.
Can you imagine that? “I hate you all! It’s all YOUR faults that our best sluggers are on the DL! Get it together or your asses are on pine!!”
Lol.

The best part?
Their best baseball is still yet to come. Just wait til Torii, Vlad and Juan are back in place and our pitching finally settles down.

Maybe KC's moustache..... er, manager should ask Scioscia to give the Royals a pep talk.
Now that we don’t have to play them again.
.... as sexy as socks on a rooster.
Royals fans place the blame squarely on Hillman and the owner.
Royals defense could use some help though.
I am happy to introduce All Star Third Baseman, Chone Figgins.
I saw that blame being blamed on blame-itty-blamed Hillman.
I heard Rory and Terry on the radio talking about how much the media in KC has been all over him, that he was brought in last year with such high hopes and really did improve the team last year.
I don’t entirely understand what’s wrong with the Royals. They have some players that are capable of playing very well, but they mostly don’t. Maybe Hillman needs to have his batting coach throw all the bats on the floor when they’re in the shower and give them what-for for lolly-gagging.
.... as sexy as socks on a rooster.
Last line made me fall out of my seat.
I love movie references and that movie is one of my favorites.
This team is our extended family, That's why we love them no matter what the record, no matter what the score.

It's my second favorite scene
to Costner’s “speech” to Sarandon when she brings him and Robbins home.

After 12 years in the minors, I don't try out!
That movie has so many quotable lines:
1/ William Blake!?
2/ William Blake!
1/ William Blake!?
2/ William Blake!
1/ What do you mean William Blake!?
2/ I mean William Blake!

Hmmmmmmmmmmmmmm. I've seen you two in the same place at the same time,
but I’ve never seen you two before.
They are doing "CHEW" every night...
“just a pinch between your cheek and gums…” (nasty)
I love this team.
Maybe not the right place to post, but interesting.
