Scioscia says Butcher is "working very hard" with pitchers

[FabulousFabregas]

Real Scioscia postgame comments on the pitching: “They’re going to have to make adjustments according to their own game and what they need to do, and that’s what Mike is working very hard on to try to get these guys to um, feel comfortable out there on the mound and make their pitches.  Some guys have moved ahead a little bit, and Joe and Jason are having a tougher time getting on track.”

Be more threatening, Mike. This ain't about friendships anymore.

[Angel Oracle]

You can work all you can, but if you can't communicate it effectively, forget about it.

[halo15fan]

Working hard at what? relieving their necks from whiplash? 

[mota_madness]

Blah blah blah blah and the new manager is:

 

[jshep]

3/5 of the rotation has ERAs above 6, Weaver is at 4.91, and CJ is leading the pack at 4.

Whatever he's doing isn't quite working.

2012 Scioscia; Mickey Hatcher is "working very hard" with the hitters.

[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

Who the hell has moved ahead? Moved ahead of what? Jason and Joe? If there are people performing better than them, I'd hate to see what acceptable is...

 

Nothing infuriates me more after a horrible game than some idiotic BS from Mensa's mouth.

[full circle]

Butcher doesn't know what the **** he's talking about.  Get someone in there who actually understands pitching.  

[bloodbrother]

If he's working very hard then he must not be good at his job because nothing seems to be working. In fact, the starters seem like they are getting WORSE with each outing

[YouthofToday]

Maybe the problem is Butcher is working with them. Can getting a new pitching coach really make the situation worse?!?!

[Brian Ilten]

If Scioscia really said that, that is good news. He was saying the same thing about Hatcher days before he was fired.

Somebody is getting fired.

[AngelsandChiefs25]

^ This. I'll be shocked if he lasts till the end of the month.

[tennischmp]

I wish someone asked him if Butcher is working just as hard as Hatcher was working last year or was Hatcher working just a bit harder.

[Angel Oracle]

I hold out hope for it.

Is Bob Melvin under contract after the season?

If not, throw money at him and have him bring Curt Young and Chili Davis with him!

[full circle]

Something tells me the Fat Man won't throw nearly as big a tantrum about this firing as he did about Mickey's.  Although it'd be great if he resigned over it.  

[Ochocinco!]

Bull shit Sosh

[Angel Dog and Beer]

If Scioscia really said that, that is good news. He was saying the same thing about Hatcher days before he was fired.

Somebody is getting fired.

 

 I distinctly remember that too.

[Mark68]

Butcher working with the pitchers=The problem

[FabulousFabregas]

Let's hope Scioscia starts talking about how he himself personally is "working very hard with guys" soon.

[robblin17]

Hey Scioscia, you suck. Go away.

2012 Scioscia; Mickey Hatcher is "working very hard" with the hitters.

 

 

I remember Hunter saying that Hatcher is working so hard with the hitters, he's forgetting to eat.  

[Scott34]

What the hell could he tell them?

 

Butcher BARELY struck out 1 batter per every walk.  In his short career.  CAN HIM.

[gotbeer]

And times like this.  Makes me wonder that 2002 was a product of Scioscia, Black, Maddon, Roenicke.  Now that 3 of the 4 have been replaced by minor leaguers, we are seeing just that.

What the hell could he tell them?

Butcher BARELY struck out 1 batter per every walk. In his short career. CAN HIM.

I want Butcher gone, but I don't see what his career as a player has to do with anything.
