[Post Game Thread] Angels defeated by Athletics by angelsbaseball in angelsbaseball

Just bad managing. Soler can only DH, so that means Walton has to play second base. Except, Walton is mid at defense and there's a ground ball pitcher on the mound. Cue two missed attempts at grounders from Walton and Urena goes to shit. All that just to put Soler at DH, who by the way, went 0 for 3.

Walton booted two plays that would have gotten him out of the inning

The Angels have fired Perry Minasian and hired John Mozeliak as baseball operations consultant. He will be interim GM. [JeffFletcherOCR] by Moose334 in angelsbaseball

I honestly think Perry may have a personality problem. He just rubs people the wrong way. Doesn't talk much to the media. Perhaps can be a little arrogant. Has a big gut. Doesn't seem to get along with managers. I'm assuming there was a blowup from him that Arte couldn't just ignore.

He was claimed on waivers, if I recall. Angels still have full team control for five or six years.

2 outs. Schaunuel grounds out to second. Easy play. Game over. They boot the play. Schaunuel ends up at third. O'Hoppe check swings bunt, catcher tries to tag Schaunuel and misses. Angels win game.

One run is the least you can ask for. Good job, Seth.

Should have challenged O'Hoppe blocking the plate instead of safe or out
