Coming from a die-hard Angels fan here but I just have to vent a little bit. Don't get me wrong, I think Mike is the best manager in baseball, no doubt. But have been upset with a few things. Anyone else notice?
Examples:
K-Rod gets behind in the count 3-1 with an open base last night and does not intentionally walk Hamiliton. Next pitch, game-winning walkoff 2-run homer.
The other night in Texas, Angels down by 1 in the top of the 9th, bases loaded, Mike sends Rivera up to the plate with .100 something BA vs. LHP. End of game. Quinlan was batting over .300.
Toggling with the line-up and sticking with players who are not hitting. He has the best loyalty, but after a while, it wears on the fans. Gary Matthews has been switched out. Thank God.
