Another old school manager gets a job.

[Hollyw00d]

Here's your chance to shine bud.

Never had talent like that in san diego

[Redondo]

Good opportunity for Black to show what he can do with more talent

[Ohtaniland]

Wow Bud Black gets to manage the best hitter in baseball.

3...2...1 BOOM

[Blarg]

And next year when he isn't is it Black's fault?

[Hollyw00d]

When?

Bud Black wouldn't be stupid enough to bat Harper 2nd in the lineup. So the answer is no.

Hope he likes to manage a bunch of bad personalities there

[seenoevil]

Good for black, him and maddon were a big reason the angels won a ring

[Blarg]

Black, like Maddon, wear Scioscia's World Series ring and no other.

[ukyah]

i'm stunned by this hiring. bud will get his last chance to manage. the san diego excuse won't be there.

[laagamer]

Mr Black was the second autograph I ever managed to get.

 

Good for him. Hope they succeed.

.....He forgot the part about if Dipoto were the GM at that time the Angels would have swept the Giants.  He's slipping.

[tomsred]

Maybe Roenicke to manage the Dodgers is next?  Good luck to Bud Black!

if they still have papelbum and harper on the team again, black has his work cut out for himself.

[CaliAngel]

Good for Bud. Should be very interesting to see what he does out there in Washington.

You do realize that stats show you should bat your best hitter second?

[70runner]

BB is a class act and I wish him success regardless of where he hits Harper.

Hopefully he hits him in the head, and knocks the douche out of him.

Still get a kick out of his reaction to giving up Reggie's 500th HR, giving him a wink/nod out of respect.

The Nationals reportedly agreed to hire Bud Black as their manager before going with Dusty Baker, but GM Mike Rizzo has a slightly different version of events. “We definitely had financial parameters discussed with (both), at the same time,” Rizzo said at a press conference, according to The Associated Press.

“We felt that was the best track to go by,” Rizzo said, “because sometimes the negotiating process also tells you a lot about the people that you’re negotiating with. As we discussed baseball in the interview process, and parameters in the financial process, we came to the conclusion that Dusty Baker was the perfect guy for us.”

Dicks!
