I don't think I've seen this posted, but I would bet the Butcher hire was done at Arte's request.

From what I understand Butcher was the guy that really went off on DiPoto, incredibly disrespectful to a guy who is his boss. He thought he was all that because at the time the pitching staff was doing well. Scoscia tried to play middle man but Butcher was out of control.

This is Arte removing a potential stumbling block for Eppler while at the same time making it clear to Scoscia that he supports Eppler.

^interesting. Did you read that somewhere or have an inside scoop? (Wont ask who)

That's some pretty deep detective work there partner!

Good stuff ... it's also possible that Scioscia pulled the plug on Butcher. I think it was a group decision that didn't include Arte.

He was smelling the sweet scent of a Butcher fart.

 

probably hit the Scotch a little hard the night before, just resting his eyes.

The Mike and Arte soap opera continues with plot thickening suspense at every turn.

I heard on MLB network radio that Bud Black is a candidate to fill Butcher's spot, unless he gets another managing gig.  Dave Hansen is expected to get the hitting coach job.

I was on board til he provided the link.

[Stradling]

He's white so I never trusted him.

[Homebrewer]

White, you mean.... like the Angels?

[Stradling]

Yes like Aybar, Perez, Santiago, Victorino (stretching on that one), Albert, Navarro, Salas and Ramos. Also not sure Gingers (like myself) or Demigods (also like myself) should be considered white.

[Angel Oracle]

Wasn't it Dave Hansen who coached the hitters in 2014 after Baylor was hurt on opening night?

That is a good recommendation, seeing that the Halos lead the league in runs scored that season.

 

Black for pitching coach, if he doesn't get a managerial job offer, and Hansen as hitting coach = thumbs up.

Only thing left then amongst the coaches is replacing DiSar as 3B coach, maybe giving him a minor league instructor position?

Why did he send the runner who was so easily thrown out at home? What was he thinking? The answer usually lies not in the coach being incompetent but with the runner not picking up a sign quickly enough, not hustling or not sliding. Sometimes a runner is thrown out simply because of a perfect relay, that more times than not will not occur.

But in 2004, something strange was happening when Chicago Cubs runners began getting thrown out at the plate with increasing frequency. Windy City fans and media unloaded their frustrations on veteran third base coach Wendell Kim, who previously held the same position with the San Francisco Giants and the Boston Red Sox.

That does beg the question, when Trout is filling out forms and they ask for his ethnicity, does he mark Other?

In sports they prefer to say they are going another direction.

In my house we prefer to say that we are going in One Direction.

Fire away, haters!

Huh? 

 

Don't try to make sense of it. It will only give you a headache.
