All is Not Right With the World

I give you: Bizarro Scioscia.

Scioscia sees 'alarming trends.' Angels manager worried about lack of plate discipline.

Is this where stem cell research has led us?

Vladimir Guerrero is hacking his way to the Hall of Fame with a let-it-fly zone extending from his nose to his toes.

Silly writer, he's always done that. The Scioscia we know and "love" approves. What's your angle?

But Angels manager Mike Scioscia said he sees "some alarming trends" among the organization's young players when it comes to a lack of plate discipline and "it has been addressed … organization-wide" with evaluations over the past three years leading to a greater emphasis on working counts, taking pitches and pitch recognition.

. . . that doesn't sound right. . .

It's not necessarily just drawing walks. It's getting into hitter's counts," Scioscia said. "There's a lot of things we look at. Yesterday's game (Monday against the Rockies) we had 16 hitting counts and that's terrific. The result of that is going to be drawing some walks.

WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT HAVE YOU DONE WITH MIKE SCIOSCIA?!

IS THIS THE CHANGE OBAMA PROMISED?!

The disturbing almost-rhymes made me think Plaschke had written it.

Yikes.
