When Will Halos Make Scioscia announcement?

[disarcina]

On or before September 15?

September 15 is a Saturday -- on Thursday, 9/13 Halos start a four game home series vs. Seattle.

Added drama -- DiPoto could be at the ballyard.

Or do Halos wait until the week after the World Series is over and hold a press conference with Scioscia there?

Does Anyone think he's coming back as Halos manager in 2019?

Probably when Scoiscia feels like it after the season.

Front office job, minimal travel

After Scioscia retires, watch them sign Napoli to a 1 year deal to platoon at DH with Ohtani cause Naps destroys LHP & John Lackey is signed to add depth to the bullpen (he can still reach 93mph)

[Stradling]

I could see him having an advisory role with the team.  He won’t announce it until the season is over, or until the team is officially disqualified from the playoff picture.  He won’t want to be the focus of the team.

I hope it isn't a scouting role cause his criteria for drafting catchers would be: skill level of squatting, CERA & if they can hit below .220

Yes it would suck to have catchers that are good catchers like Molina, Perez, Mathis and Maldonado.  Pitchers hate throwing to guys like that.

93 mph? are you serious?

if he's still throwing that hard he can probably make All-CIF

 

2nd team

Maldonado was like a fat Mexican version of Mathis. Glad Eppler took some toys from Sosh...along with Valbuena

[Blarg]

Scioscia played the guys Eppler gave him. Had he given him better players Maldonado and Valbuena wouldn't have had much playing time.

He could reach a max velocity of 92 or 93 in 2017. It was sarcasm mostly, cause Lackey & Napoli would never return if offered a contract cause of Scioscia.

I honestly believe though Lackey would have had alot better results in the Bullpen than Noe Ramirez & Paredes, he still has that nasty curveball that misses bats & can still get his velocity into the 90s, out of the pen he could probably reliably hit 93.

I think its a question of Lackey not wanting to be a reliever. He wasn't that terrible in 2017 compared to others, Colon has pitched much worse in 2018.

The amount of F-bombs Lackey made on the mound at Scioscia is priceless.

Perhaps that was enough to make Scioscia retire.

[Taylor]

@Tank can probably give an educated guess after his lunch with Scioscia on Thursday.

Lackey refused a minor league deal from Arizona last offseason, who then offered one to Clay Bucholz. 

Looks like Lackey chose poorly. 

[Puget Sound Angel]

Soon as the regular season is over. No sense waiting around.

He's one pitcher i'd like to see manage team, how often he'd go off on umpires would be worth it. He'd open a KFC in the dugout & PS4 video game booth.

Lackey would become the 1st manager to put a umpire on the DL & an opposing teams manager on the DL. In the same game.

Just forgot the Goat Hill Tavern annex in the clubhouse.

It was a spur of the moment decision.

I could see a one-year extension for Scioscia to get him over the 20-yr mark.

Besides, 2019 looks very promising for this team. Let the skipper get another ring!

After the season is over.

Scioscia will replace Dave Roberts next season.

We have too many pitchers on the dL. There is no room there for position players. Josh needs to sign with a team that has plenty of room on their dL.

Be careful what you wish for.

Depends on how badly he really wanted to play.
