[Angels_Make_Me_Drink]

Boom! Let’s go!

[Stradling]

I am a little surprised.  Well very surprised.

[tdawg87]

Season over

[Fish Oil]

Great news! Now let's move forward.

 

[Chuckster70]

Good move. He passed the test set by Eppler and has worked beside him for a year now.

[Broad Street]

What the F*ck.

 

I don't know why I'm upset because they obviously know way more than me, but I'm still upset.

 

I need beer.

[Stradling]

I thought for sure it was going to be someone different.  I thought it would be Chavez or Espada.  I can’t see why he was the front runner.

[TroutField]

I trust Eppler but wasn’t my first choice. 

[failos]

It’s hard to get truly bothered by this choice. I can live with it...for now.

He was the front runner going in and he got the job. Thought it would be the Astros guy or Chavez. It didn’t work out in Detroit but no reason to think it won’t in Anaheim “LA”. Here’s hoping it works.

So.. what most of us assuming months ago, what was the point of the dog and pony show?  Seems this was a foregone conclusion.

He’s was on Eppler’s hip all last season. They are obviously on the same page regarding the future of the big league club.

i actually ran into Ausmus last season at the big A. He was really approachable. Seemed like a good dude.

Yeah ok um no thanks. To all of the Scioscia haters I hope you remember the grass is not always greener on the other side. A boring retread who made so many questionable decisions with the tigers and then lost his clubhouse and we’re supposed to be excited? 

I was ok with someone new and young as maybe he’d relate better to players or stats or both but jeebus.

Bring back Mike. 

[Kendo36]

Might as well have extended sciosca 

[ettin]

Personally I was hoping for the Rays Rocco Baldelli but whatev's.....

[tdawg87]

Latke jokes are in!

[Kendo36]

Is Justin upton calling all the shots now? First kinsler now this.

Because it wasn’t a dog and pony show and he ended up grading out highest in how they evaluated the next manager?  

[Stradling]

Well the Scioscia haters will hate Ausmus or they will love him because he is gritty and gets thrown out of games a lot.  Which worked so well he had Verlander and Miggy and ended up with a losing record during his time there.  I guess we will see.  

[cals]

So the Jewish guy got the job over the Mexican?  Messed up.
