If you could only fire one person . . .

[WallyWorld]

Scioscia or Dipoto?

[nando714]

Butcher

[Season Over]

Where's the option for "all of the above"? 

[rageous]

Butcher for sure.

[Agalloch]

Scioscia, definitely. I'd take Butcher over both though.

Butcher is a given. 

[QuinlansMinion]

Youre going to fire a guy with a 10 year contract?  Thats a great idea.

[Stradling]

I'd "promote" Scioscia.

[ABC]

I think Sosh will opt out whenever the date comes up...15, 16?

[Section517]

If you fire Tommy Lasagna Jr. that kills two birds with one stone because no competent incoming manager will keep the absolute worst pitching coach in Mike Butcher.

It's a fiscally smart decision dumping $5 million per year in order to improve a $125+ million annual payroll.

[Ohtaniland]

Don Baylor.

[ukyah]

i refuse to accept the premise.

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

scioscia.

[Tyler]

Butcher, sucks too because he seems like a cool dude. Just need someone who is seeing things he hasn't been or may not be able to see with the guys. 

[Guest]

Butcher. He's a cancer to this team. 

[The Ghost of Bob Starr]

This is going to surprise some on here, but I'm going to go with Scioscia.

[QuinlansMinion]

The answer is easily Dipoto.  Given the budget he has to work with he makes some incredibly stupid decisions, mixed in with some half way decent ones.  Theres no way we should be this bad. 

 

Not to mention, I think he has no idea what a bullpen is.  

[Butcher'd]

Scioscia because he's been here the longest and I'm sick of everything about him (the way he manages, his demeanor, etc.)

[ron]

Scoiscia for sure. Hes been bringing this team down for a couple years now.

[QuinlansMinion]

Those of you saying Scioscia are just frustrated.  Its not his fault, look at the roster he has to deal with.  We have had cancers on this team for years in Aybar and Kendrick.  The 2 of them combined probably have the worst approaches in all of baseball.  Then you look at our bullpen, yeah of course were going to suck.  

 

Look at this shit on the field.  No manager can fix that. 

[Sully151]

I think Baylor's broken leg may save Scioscia's job.

it's not that, for me. given the premise that only one can be fired, i think it has to be scioscia. the reason being, i think there's a very good possibility that scioscia has input on the roster. if that's the case, then we may not be seeing the roster that dipoto would ultimately prefer. i'm not saying that is the case, but there is more possibility for that than scioscia is not getting the team he wants.

 

outside of the thread's premise, i'd fire both and butcher.

[YouthofToday]

Reagins. Again.

[Brandon]

I'm betting you don't start this thread if the bullpen doesn't blow the lead nor do you continue when we win the game.
