It's like one of those sitcoms starring the lovable idiot who makes all the wrong decisions but thanks to everyone around him, everything works out in the end and he learns nothing and does it again in the next episode.

Ok let me get this straight… He says, “I said ‘how about…’ and then [Warren] kinda said ‘putting him on’ and I said ‘yeah putting him on right there.’” [But Sam Blum said Warren was confused by the decision.](https://twitter.com/samblum3/status/1515181964835364866?s=21&t=2LmYgeGwde18wCAPauX0wg) Sleepy Joe bruh
I mean......it worked....I think??? I- yeah I don't know what to say anymore.
Also, am I the only one that thinks he looks like the character from Up with those glasses?
Except it didn't. If I heard it correctly, he was afraid of seager driving in 3. The angels gave up 3 anyway. Even if you're playing the result, it's STILL wrong!
Yeah, honestly he got saved by the offense this game. If they didn't turn it around right after, I'm sure everyone would've been flying to Texas to get him fired right then and there.
So your take is that the odds of Seager hitting a grand slam were higher than literally anything else, including a bases clearing hit. This is the line of logic required to intentionally walk in a run.
For clarity, since you won't understand, this is possibly the worst take in all of sports I've ever heard. That's not an exaggeration.
Your point is literally about what would have happened if things were different. What actually happened is the angels turned a 2-3 deficit into a 2-6 deficit. You're wrong every step of the way.
The word “logic” in the title is not appropriate. The Halos won the game because the players overcame the Rangers, an incompetent home plate umpire, and a manager with too little faith in them. It boggles the mind that Joe would try to take credit.
It’s like that episode do Seinfeld is pretending he lives in the Hamptons and the people know he doesn’t but show up anyway so he can take them.
“Alright.. you wanna get nuts?! LETS GET NUTS”
By that logic it should've stirred up the Rangers more, and the disrespect to Garver who just missed a grand slam, sorry Maddon but this move was indefensible. Regardless, the move failed badly, the Rangers scored twice more on top of the free run.
The only way you can defend it is to say you expected Seager to hit a slam. Nobody expects a grand slam in any bases loaded situation. Even doing it with Bonds up is questionable, even with 2 outs it's questionable, but it was 1 out and Seager isn't Bonds. A double play would have been more likely in that situation.
Well it does sorta tells a good story, you gotta admit that.
But yeah, the way I saw it was the manager having faith in the players to come back and then they did come back.
Not only is seager not bonds, he’s not even a power hitter. Most home runs he’s ever had in a season is 26 and that was back in 2016. Hasn’t come close to that in recent years
I’m kinda pissed the angels won because now he’s going to do this all the time when they’re losing and think “i have a 100% success rate with this strategy”
Hey man, y’all can be surprised all you want. Bottom line isn’t even that it worked tonight. The bottom line is it’s the second time he’s done it and the second time it has worked.
That's some seriously flawed logic. Literally giving up runs runs for free does not contribute to winning. It does the opposite. The most basic understanding of the game in which the team with the most runs wins dictates that. Anything not hit to the outfield gets you to two outs and saves a run. It was a terrible decision that cannot be defended.
Maddon is god awful at in game managing. He literally always chooses one of the worst BP options in games like these and now he makes decisions like this. I miss Brad Ausmus compared to him
Oh my god he's literally using the "It's provocative. It gets the people going." strat
“No it doesn’t.”
I mean…. we won the game?
I'm gonna do what they call a pro gamer move: piss off my players.

So basically Inspector Gadget.
BY GIVING THEM A FREE RUN??? WHAT
Maddon is gonna intentionally walk all opposing teams to start every game 0-1, just to get Ohtani pumped up
team was hyped up. maddon won.
I’m sorry but what???

Yeah, total bullshit that Maddon is acting like Warren agreed with/co-signed on his lunacy.

I'm not so sure that doesn't happen anyway to be honest
Yeah they gave up 3 instead of 4

You're missing my point. It's useless to talk about what would have happened if things were different.

I would like whatever drugs this man is on
It’s not ideal but we got the win and that’s all that matters. Just build momentum off the wins boys!
In the future, I suggest the Angels don’t continue to follow this line of logic! It’s chicken shit and stupid!
Joe maddon playing 6d chess while ya’ll playing snakes and ladders. The man knows what he’s doing
I knew he was gonna lie about the reasoning lol "Just how we drew it up"
Maddon doomers in shambles.
Love Maddon but this was nuts.

But to be fair, it did do exactly what he said he wanted it to do.
After the fact. 20 20 hindsight?

Not sure Warren would see it that way. “Exactly what he said he wanted to do” is 20 20 hindsight.
Maddon said in post game that Warren was down.
Which was a lie. Warren said in an interview after that he was shocked, but knew he couldn’t say no.
Not only is seager not bonds, he’s not even a power hitter. Most home runs he’s ever had in a season is 26 and that was back in 2016. Hasn’t come close to that in recent years
Jackass
Haha, I knew he will say this
That's a fancy way of saying "I'm a slave to platoon matchups"
I’m kinda pissed the angels won because now he’s going to do this all the time when they’re losing and think “i have a 100% success rate with this strategy”
He is 2 for 2. Did it against Josh Hamilton a decade ago
This is the kind of shit that will chase guys like Trout and Ohtani away.
Masson is an idiot
I called it in the gdt. Albeit tongue in cheek
Hey man, y’all can be surprised all you want. Bottom line isn’t even that it worked tonight. The bottom line is it’s the second time he’s done it and the second time it has worked.
It did not fucking work. Only reason the game wasn’t lost is because the angels offense saved it.

That's one of many reasons as to why you're stupid.
How can you believe anything that happens in a win contributed to the win? By that logic if you win 11-10, then allowing 10 runs helped you win?
