Episode Fifteen

The Angels put all their chips into the middle of the table at the trade deadline with some big moves!  Since then, the team is 0 for August.  Is it too late?  Is this really just a .500 team and that's all they're going to be?  Victor Rojas, Chuck Richter and Geoff Stoddart commiserate and discuss what, if anything, can be done.  Plus …. a deep dive discussion on pitching philosophy!  Do teams need to start relying more on their manager's eyes, instead of deciding in advance how long a pitcher will go before they've even thrown a pitch? Why just 3 times through a lineup? Why stop at 100 pitches?  Victor shares a behind the scenes story on this topic that happened during the Billy Eppler days.
