I think Scioscia is gone if he doesn't at least get this team to the ALCS. 

Eppler can hire a guy who is all about advanced stats/metrics. Someone with experience playing ball, someone younger and one who understands how to properly evaluate talent in this day and age. 

Even if we have a lot of injuries?

Scioscia will be the next manager of the Phillies, he is from Philadelphia.  They will sign Scioscia to lure Trout to the Phillies, then everyone will be pissed.

Because he isn’t an idiot, unlike some of the rainman guys we have here.  247 match sticks.

Scioscia would like Trout to not dissappear in the playoffs or playoff hunt in September. Maybe that would help both out.

Everyone but Bob thinks Sosh knows the rules better than most.  Of course Bob is the odd man out.  So much stupidity. 

[JustATroutFan]

Only thing that I see that could derail the Scioscia and the Angels will be the pitching. I'm not confidence in the Angels starting rotation or bullpen.

i really enjoy it when ABob pulls up a reference from five or ten years ago as if it somehow is irrefutable proof that his view of sosh is airtight.

why do you continue to be a fan of that same team?

Hey A-Bob, it's not Scioscia's fault that Aybar can't lay down a fucking bunt.

Ya you're right, Trout has been killing this teams playoff chances since 2002 and it times for a change.  I think Scioscia's abysmal playoff record will improve once Trout's gone. Trade Trout, extend Scioscia, Win!.

It's never Scioscia's fault, my 98 year old grandmother  called the play before the pitch. 

Scioscia's biggest downfall is how easily the other team can predict what he's going to do.  You can get away with that over a long season because sometimes the team can overcome it.  But the playoffs are when every single predictable move or play can cost you winning the series.

probably because Trout wouldn't listen to you for advice on who to play for........

This is Scioscia's last year before he signs a new lifetime contract.

As much as I’m ready for a change, a lifetime contract would be pretty awesome. 

If it will bother the people who blame Scioscia for poor player execution then I’m probably alright with him hanging around.  It’s just strange that it somehow is the managers fault when a player can’t lay down a bunt.  Or it’s the managers fault when our two best players don’t do anything in a playoff series. Or when we lose to better teams in the playoffs.

That play is always on the table in that situation ... not really a valid point. If executed correctly the run scores. 

[Troll Daddy]

Scioscia could manage the team to another WS Championship ... and most here will still want a new manager. 

[Stradling]

Yep, because he lost a protest 15 years ago.

 The players keep changing and the only constant is Scioscia, the Angels keep getting the same results. 

Let me know when we have a complete team that has the talent to go all the way.

I see that Bob is already in mid-season form.

This thread does not disappoint.

Well we are talking about a guy that’s still upset and brings up things Scioscia did wrong (in his eyes) in the 2002 World Series.  So I’d say his commitment to hating Sosh is pretty strong.

That decision to have Jose Molina bunt with one out in Game 6 is still a head scratcher.

Scioscia is a decent enough manager on balance, but certainly not one of the most brilliant as many seem to believe. I really hope he's not extended especially if we miss the playoffs again. It's time for a change after so many (mostly frustrating) seasons. I'm tired of coming up short every year. 2009 was a long time ago.
