Dipoto is the new Naps

[mtangelsfan]

He will be fodder for all of the internet "I told you so's" for and against him.

 

There always has to be one.

Hard to beat something like the Naps and sides for/against

 

What other time have you seen where saying anything positive about a player got you label a hyperbolic "Napsacker"?

Good thing hyperbole is so expected on the internet.

"Hyperbole" was one of LT's favorite words.

 

Just Sayin'.

Not going to stop calling it like I see it. Not to mention, I would rather be compared to him than a lot of other posters on here.

Might be time to let bygones be bygones.

I don't understand why the Dipoto thing has to be so black and white. Seems clear to me that he made a couple of good moves and ****ed up some other moves. Like basically any other GM. Generally did a good job here IMO but his departure is not a complete disaster for the organization. At the same time, I believe had he stuck around he probably would have continued to make positive contributions. Scioscia is a powerful voice in the organization, he's earned that and theres nothing wrong with that. Jerry decided that the extra work required to align with Scioscia wasn't the type of dynamic he wanted to be a part of. Fair enough. (timing was horrific) We don't know details other then what Chuck allegedly passes along and the generic garbage we hear regurgitated by the media constantly. Theres 2 sides to every story. Lets just be done with it.

Yeah, he was a peach. The kind of guy who lit up a room when he walked in.

[yk9001]

The best was when he was wrong about something, which wasn't infrequent. He could never say I was wrong or my bad. He always had to double down when he was wrong. It's a terrible personality trait.

[mtangelsfan]

Still rather that than folks who absolutely never have anything positive to say.

Well, he HAS proven himself to be a part-time GM

I agree

Except for the part about letting it go

I personally would welcome him back and yes I agree he is so much better than the guys on here that are less knowledgable have less common sense and are equally stubborn.

Completely agree

Lionizing lifetime. This place has really come full circle.

How did I end up in the Poor Lifetime thread and where's the door?

First people say Jerry sucked, he lead the Angels to the playoffs in 14

 

Then people say Jerry won't find a GM job ever . He lands a GM job before the 15 MLB season is over lol

 

Now people are going to say Jerry will fail with the Mariners lmao

 

When will people learn?
