One. Prayer. Answered.

I'm not saying talk radio guy is smart I'm saying they repeat things they hear...

 

 

... and read on AngelsWin.com

Dodgers FO is a forward thinking one that incorporates advanced statistics. Sosh is the furthest thing of the type of manager they want.

 

Don't get why people think this is a possibility just because he played for the Dodgers like 25 years ago. Anaheim is the only team dumb enough to give their manager so much power. Sosh won't have that luxury anywhere else

please take Scioscia, please take Scioscia, please take Scioscia!

lol

Gabe Kapler will be the next manager.

i remember he did the intro to base all prospectus a few years back. Talked about how much hed come around to sabr. Would make an interesting mix.

I dont follow the dodgers close enough to know if mattingly was bad or good. But i think the FO may have scapegoated a bit. Mattingly didnt build that bullpen, overrate kemp, overhype puig, etc etc.

And mattingly sure as hell didnt tell kershaw to blow the season in the 13 nlcs. Maybe he left him in too long on the playoffs last year, but again, that pen..

Entertain me AW.com.   I already popped the popcorn.

On a different note, how about Mattingly for Angels hitting coach?

 

He's not going to get a managerial position for a while, so I would think he would have to take a step back, and do what he does best.

Mattingly will be manager of the Marlins

[Troll Daddy]

It looks that way (Marlins) ... Mattingly wanted out of the pressure cooker.

[gotbeer]

It would be funny if the Marlins won a world series before the Dodgers.  I believe that would make three total that the Marlins would have then won since the last Dodgers championship.

[katrinab]

people who really think that sosh would opt out to go to the dodgers are in for a huge disappointment

he isn't going anywhere

[Troll Daddy]

Now that it has actually happened ... I think Scioscia would be a good fit for the Dodgers. Dodgers would be getting one of the best in the business and Angels will get a fresh face.

I like it

To be fair to Nate, all those guys were hired under previous dummy regimes.  The current regime is supposed to be smarter.  After all, Magic Johnson is one of the chiefs.

 

Exactly, Mattingly was under the old douche owner not the new douche owner.

[Blarg]

I may be one of the few but I really think Scioscia would have done better managing the Dodgers this season than Mattingly.

[Homebrewer]

How many of the nutswingers will follow if MS does go to LA?? (the real LA, not the LA that isn't in LA)

 

Sciosciawins.com?

Lmao! Here it comes!

I'm beginning to think the only candidates available for any major league job had to have a tie to the 2002 Angels.

i was about to suggest orlando mercado, but dont want to get lunped into the sheeple

Michael Cooper will be the next manager

you know hed rock the high socks like a throwback!

Don is such a terrible manager. He should've been fired years ago.

[Homebrewer]

Don is such a terrible manager. He should've been fired years ago.

Arte would have given him a 10 year extention

[Tank]

Gabe Kapler will be the next manager.

 

my money's on tim wallach.

[Sully151]

I don't follow the Dodgers, but it seemed like Mattingly did a decem job of dealing with a bunch of strong and conflicting personalities in the club house.

[Homebrewer]

Scioscia could do better.

Magic...Scioscia could do better!!

[ScottT]

Terry Collins is in the World Series

Although it seems he has learned a lot since his days in Anaheim, it goes to show how important field managers are. Probably less than 15-20 players?

Guess Friedman doesn't like neanderthals managing his team

 

 

Two former Dodgers stars -- Dusty Baker and Mike Scioscia -- might be popular among fans but would not be a fit to manage the Dodgers at this time. Both have enjoyed successful managerial careers, but neither would mesh with the approach of Friedman and the Dodgers' new front office.
