Scioscia needs to go..

[nate]

Scioscia should be fired.

 

Second time early in this season he hasn't had an opposite armed pitcher warming up in the bullpen late in a game for match up purposes.  Combined with a team that seems to lack fundamentals and be ill prepared it is time for him to go.

 

This is going to be a long season.

[WallyWorld]

I . . .  don't disagree.  His teams consistently under-perform.  That's a problem.

[HaloNation]

there is no reason not to fire MS, he is the worst manager ever. by far.

[jshep]

Ya, Burnett not warming up there was very strange.

[bloodbrother]

How do you leave him in to face another lefty after serving up the 3 run bomb Lol

[Angel Oracle]

Scioscia is a phony, who leeched off of Maddon, Black, and Roenicke!

Dipoto doesn't impress me either!

We shoudl've taken up the Doyers fans on their Mattingly for Scioscia swap while it was still on the table

Horrible bullpen management. 

 

That is all.

[gurn67]

After tonights debacle, this team will be 45-55 in April games since 2009. The players always talk about how great and loose Mike's spring trainings are. Obviously, whatever atmosphere he's creating there is not getting his clubs ready to give a championship level of performance out of the gate.

And yet in the gameday chat there were plenty applauding Scioscia for going to Jepsen.

[VariousCrap]

I'm done supporting MS.  Something needs to be done to shake things up.

Not the smart ones.

But when he didn't have it, you don't just sit there and let him open the floodgates.

Jepsen's brother

Jepsen's sister

Jepsen's second cousin thrice removed

Going to Jepsen to face Cespedes makes sense.

 

Not having a lefty to face Jaso(and it's not like the PH call there should have been surprising) or at least to face Moss after that didn't.

[Angel Oracle]

Reagins should be boiled in oil for that 10 year contract.

Jepsen will always be a loser who can't pitch a full season ever!

You can't criticize in the gameday chat

Huge mistake.

[bloodbrother]

Jepsen's job was to get the righty Cespedes out. He failed. Once the A's countered after that with the lefty hitter, Burnett should have been ready to come in to offset that. Instead, Mike left him in to face Jaso

 

....and then he still left him in to face Brandon Moss. Now Burnett is pitching the 8th with the game out of reach. Too little, too late, which is becoming common with Scioscia these days

[Blarg]

So it was a good decision until it wasn't. You guys are a disengenous bunch of weasels.

[Angel Oracle]

And NOW he puts in Burnett!

Scioscia has been clueless since Maddon, Black, and Roenicke left him!

That's a non-sequitur post.

I did, I thought the decision to pull Downs was premature.

[Blarg]

And NOW he puts in Burnett!

So who would you put in AO?
