Dan Gould Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 Additionally, he played five years with the Angels and but for Gene Mauch's idiot managing, he almost put the team in the 1986 WS. He slugged only .408 that season, with 18 homers and 58 RBI. I'd say Grinch, Decinces and a young Wally Joyner had more to do with that team nearly reaching the World Series. As for "idiot managing" I have no clue what you're talking about. Sometimes the most obvious moves just don't work out. Who could predict that Gary Lucas would plunk Rich Gedman? He hadn't hit anyone in over 250 innings covering four seasons. And Donnie Moore? He pulled Mike Witt with a two out, two run lead against Boston in the 9th. Witt was on cruise control. Moore had elbow problems. No. The biggest bonehead manuver in the history of pitching screw-ups came with Urbano Lugo who gave up the lead. An injured Moore gave up the winner in extra innings after the Angels got the lead back. And don't get me started on Moose Stubbing's stop sigh on Grich. I honestly don't know where to begin. But alas, I must. Witt was pulled after he gave up a two-run homer to Don Baylor, which made the score 5-4 Angels. When your guy who was on cruise control gives up a two run homer in the ninth, you've got to go to your pen. Because if he gives up another one, everybody will be screaming, "how could you leave him in after he gave up that blast?!" Mauch can't win in that situation because, should it not work out, everybody will say you should have done what you didn't do. Who the fuck is Urbano Lugo? He threw 22 innings in 1986 and wasn't even on the ALCS roster! Moore blew the lead on Hendu's homer, and then pitched two + more innings and gave up the winning run in the 11th. As for Grich, the only time he reached 3B was when he was trotting home on his sole contribution, a 6th inning home run. Otherwise he was 1-5 on the day with two K's. You can't possibly be dreaming that Rob Wilfong was supposed to score from 1B on a single by Schofield? He ain't Enos Slaughter, and it was Dewey Evans in RF. An injured Moore gave up the winner in extra innings after the Angels got the lead back. The Angels were at home. The Red Sox come-back happened in the ninth inning. Please explain to me why, if the "Angels got the lead back," the game wasn't over. You know, home team wins when they take the lead in the ninth inning or later. The reality is that the Angels came back in the ninth but couldn't push across the winning run because Steve Crawford induced a short fly to Dewey Evans and then a soft liner back to him.

Thanks for the correction and point well taken. The only problem is Witt was, in fact, on cruise control and needed only one out to finish the BoSox off in Game 5. Mauch went with the percentages, not with the game dynamics and blew it. He leaves Witt in, the BoSox were done. They were beaten early in the ALCS. The momentum was clearly in the Angels' favor...being at home and the fans were just rocking the place. Mauch is the biggest bonehead manager on this or any other planet. Gene Mauch has always been known as the Little General who couldn't win the big one. This game is the reason why: He didn't go with the play on the field. Instead he opted for the statistics and is what makes this an idiot maganement of the Angels' pitching staff. Angels lost and the momentum was gone. They just laid down and died after that game. And Moose Stubbing did stop Grich. He would have easily made it home. You don't remember the helmet throwing incident?

Dan Gould Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 Here's a link to the play-by-play for game 5. Nowhere do the words "Grich to 3B" appear, as they would for any play in which Grich was held at third. In fact, I can't find "Grich to 3B" in any of the '86 ALCS game pages. You must be mistaken because even if Grich had been held at 3B and there was a play behind him that ended the inning, "Grich to 3B" would still be part of the play-by-play.

Not a "play-by-play". There is no reference to the Grich incident or any other incident during that game. Just stats. Numbers do not tell the whole story. I suggest finding a newspaper article on that Game 5, specifically, from the Orange County Register. Bottom line? The BoSox were done. Period. Leave Witt in and the Angels would have gone on to beat the Mets in the 1986 WS. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Matthew Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 Rangers sign Brandon Webb to a one-year dice roll: http://texas.rangers...ws_tex&c_id=tex Well worth a shot for the Rangers, when he's on, Webb is flat-out nasty. I see the Rangers in a cakewalk next year in the division, no other team looks like they're close to them. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dan Gould Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 And it seems Anaheim is running away from a fight. They're a team after Goodie's heart - don't spend to improve, set firm dates to withdraw offers, heck, deny they even made offers to some players. Now, does anyone wonder if they'll reduce ticket prices? I mean, no free agents = lower ticket prices, right? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Fact is, Moose Stubbing stopped [fill in the blank] at 3B. He got pissed and threw his helmet while barking at Stubbing. Had [fill in the blank] scored the run would have counted. Geez. It's been what, 24 years now? The point is if Mauch left Witt in, the Angels win that game and the series. BoSox were done going into that game. Did I mention that I had a Reggie Bar in my freezer? You know, the "RE-GGIE!" chant got way popular with the Angels, too. And it seems Anaheim is running away from a fight. They're a team after Goodie's heart - don't spend to improve, set firm dates to withdraw offers, heck, deny they even made offers to some players.

papsrus Posted December 27, 2010 Report Share Posted December 27, 2010 No team ever lowers ticket prices once they go up, Dan. You know that. I think the Rays lowered ticket prices a few years ago, and had free parking for an entire season when Sternberg first took over. And the Yankees, of all clubs, lowered the sky-high prices on those seats around home plate last season. Still super expensive, but they did lower the prices. ... Never say never.

Schiraldi 5% 100% Foul Flyball: 1B I've helpfully highlighted every "________ to (2B, 3B)" play. Show me where "Grich to 3B" appears. It doesn't. OK. Doug DeCinces then. BFD, Dan. Fact is, Moose Stubbing stopped [fill in the blank] at 3B. He got pissed and threw his helmet while barking at Stubbing. Had [fill in the blank] scored the run would have counted. Geez. It's been what, 24 years now? Still wrong. Decinces was never stopped at 3B either. He doubled in front of Grich's home run, and that's all he did. The only play that bears a resemblance to your memory is Pettis to 3B on a double in the seventh, and that was a groundball to CF, with Wilfong somehow credited with a double for "advanced on throw".

Tim McG Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 No team ever lowers ticket prices once they go up, Dan. You know that. I think the Rays lowered ticket prices a few years ago, and had free parking for an entire season when Sternberg first took over. And the Yankees, of all clubs, lowered the sky-high prices on those seats around home plate last season. Still super expensive, but they did lower the prices. ... Never say never. Well, let's be honest...the Rays have trouble getting anyone beyond the employees to show up to their games. And nobody I know can afford those over priced seats behind home plate in any ballpark; "discount" or not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Schiraldi 5% 100% Foul Flyball: 1B I've helpfully highlighted every "________ to (2B, 3B)" play. Show me where "Grich to 3B" appears. It doesn't. OK. Doug DeCinces then. BFD, Dan. Fact is, Moose Stubbing stopped [fill in the blank] at 3B. He got pissed and threw his helmet while barking at Stubbing. Had [fill in the blank] scored the run would have counted. Geez. It's been what, 24 years now? Still wrong. Decinces was never stopped at 3B either. He doubled in front of Grich's home run, and that's all he did. The only play that bears a resemblance to your memory is Pettis to 3B on a double in the seventh, and that was a groundball to CF, with Wilfong somehow credited with a double for "advanced on throw". Grich was involved, but it was in Game 2. Like I said, it's been 24 years and for a team I don't follow. Sue me.

Here ya go: Grich vs. Stubing Let me get this straight: A game the Red Sox won 9-2 was impacted by the non-decision of a third-base coach which resulted in a runner being cut down at the plate?

Quincy Posted December 28, 2010 Report Share Posted December 28, 2010 Reggie should have gone in the HOF as an Oriole I remember that cover. It just looks so strange. About all I remember about Reggie's time as an O was reading about how pissed Earl Weaver got a Reggie for stealing 2nd base, thus taking the bat out of the hands of the following hitter (possibly Lee May) who was then intentionally walked. It was my introduction to the "don't steal, don't bunt, hit a 3 run HR instead" philosophy. If I recall right that didn't happen in the above example despite it being set up for that.

Yeah, you're right, Dan. Momentum and rally killers have nothing at all to do with the outcome of a game. Just numbers and stats. Uh-huh. Absolutely. You win!

Earl Weaver was pissed at everyone. Former umpire Ron Luciano did a hilarious take on Weaver's on field antics in The Umpire Strikes Back To wit: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Matthew Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 I cannot believe that Scott Boras is seeking at least a five-year, $85 million contract for Adrian Beltre. 17 million-a-year for someone who will bat .280 15hrs 80rbis? Beltre has had two good years in his life, and both contract years. Sometimes I don't understand baseball executives at all. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tim McG Posted December 30, 2010 Report Share Posted December 30, 2010 Scott Boras is the jerk's jerk. He'll screw a team for as much as he can get and for very little in return. How he gets away with that snow job he puts over on GMs is beyond me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
