Ok, so, we fire Scioscia and then...

[Angel Oracle]

At some point, if the record is still bad, replacing Scioscia has to be considered. Can anyone in this org though do what Maddon did in 1999, going 17-12 after being 53-80 under Collins?

[Fontana Halo]

Somebody young and energetic, most of all somebody that stresses fundamentals. No old guys that'll be gone in a few years.

If Scioscia gets fired, it won't be a "knee jerk" decision. The FO will likely have (at least) one or two replacements they would be interested in. This is assuming he doesn't get fired mid-season, which I don't think will happen.

 

As for the whole "experience" thing, that is grossly overstated by some here. The Yankees had no problem hiring Joe Girardi as their replacement for Joe Torre, who had 1 year of managerial experience. What about the Cardinals? Mike Matheny was an advisor in the organization for a while, but had ZERO managerial experience at the big league level. The White Sox? Robin Ventura almost won MOY in his first year as the manager. There are more. The fact is that it doesn't take experience and "qualifications" to automatically succeed at being a manager of a new team.

 

 

 

You're smart and you're funny.  If you had a rack I'd be all over you. Unless you're ugly.  Well, even still.

I have a rack.

 

But I'm a guy. This is not a good combo.

Man boobs are still boobs.

It just got real Jason Collins up in here.

A manager 'N Sync with Dipoto would be even better.

I don't care about the name calling, but someone else brought it up in another thread.  Calling scioscia "fatty" is inappropriate but calling lackey a horse isn't. Got it

It was me.

get a room

 

We have one. You were invited but with that snippy attitude now I don't know....

Jealosuy is such an ugly, and yet oddly flattering, emotion.
