Fire Butcher poll

[trueangeldog1]

Yes!!!!!

[jshep]

This isn't quite a poll.

 

But yes.

[Amazing Larry]

Wrong scapegoat.

[fan_since79]

Nobody's going anywhere. Maybe they'll take some action if we finish in last place.

[trueangeldog1]

Who's the scapegoat? My job most jobs some ass would be kicked.

[AZMike]

Wrong scapegoat.

 

Unfortuantely he's the only scapegoat Arte can fire without eating a 2-hole load of money in the process.

[Homebrewer]

Should have been done 3 years ago.

[robblin17]

Should have been done 3 years ago.

 

Totally agree. Last offseason would have been a great time too.

[Chuck]

Yes!!!!!

 

Edit your first post and add the poll to it.

...I am an asshat on the verge of permanent ban.

I agree completely.

 

getting back to the original topic, last season also would've been a good time to fire Butcher and Scioscia

[Homebrewer]

Last day of April, 8 GAMES UNDER .500.

Is there a better time than now?

[Chuck]

Guys, I know we're all frustrated with the team, but do not resort to personal attacks to each other on this website.

 

Thanks! 

[Angel Oracle]

Yes!

A fresh face is needed.

[Homebrewer]

8 games under .500.

Scioscia in ST.." It is really important we get off to a good start"

Arte has to give Dipo the power to fire him, to keep any amount of credibility.

Might be time to have a chat with the pet "personal attacker" here, if you really want things to be more tenable. 

[Homebrewer]

Just sayin.

[fan_since79]

Oakland has scored 48 runs in the five games against us this month.

[Agalloch]

Everyone should be saying yes.

[Homebrewer]

The entire coaching staff should have been gone after last season..not one of them deserves to be here today.

It is a group failure, and has been.

I have to believe that deep inside, they all know that they are not good, as a group.

The fans are let down, the owner is let down, and the players themselves can't be happy to play under this failing leadership.

Scioscia has said that he is doing the same thing that he has always done..

He is stubborn and he is going to do what he thinks is right. I respect that, except for the fact that..

It isn't working.

Hasn't worked for a long time now.

A managerial change will turn this team around.

I have never been more convinced and sure that a new direction is the only way forward.

Someone posted a moronic article claiming that Mike Scioscia was the greatest manager of all time based on "wins above pythagorean"

 

Pythahorean Formulat (basebal) is basically an asinine equation that says the following:

 

Winning percentage = ( Runs Scored ^ 2 / (Runs Scored)^2 + (Runs Allowed)^2)

 

Apparently if a team wins a lot of close games and loses a lot of blowouts, their manager is magically better.

 

According to this theory, the fact that Oakland has utterly destroyed us in blowout fashion actually means that Bob Melvin has a worse mWAP than he would if the Angels had lost in close nailbiters every game.

sweet.  under double dig per game. 

[70runner]

lets see...if the manager loses blowouts AND close games, hmmmmmm..............

[tomsred]

Oakland has scored 48 runs in the five games against us this month.

That's pretty good huh?  What's the record?

[Jason]

I'll say yes only because it won't make matters worse. It still won't make them better. Like I've been saying in all these threads, Butcher is tasked with polishing turds.

Agreed.  With the ever-changing collection of scrubs that are taking the mound, I'm not sure the greatest pitching coach in the world would have made a difference.
