And you’re refusing to admit that you were speculating to begin with. You have nothing to back up your statement. 

My “speculations” have been that either:

1). Something changed in their assessment if Ausmus, or

2). They rationally decided they would now prefer to pursue a reunion with a more experienced, better manager with whom they have a 31 year relationship with over advancing their short relationship with the less experienced, less accomplished Ausmus

or it is both.

You reject all of that and narrowly conclude the front office is some combination of crazy, unhinges, reckless and dysfunctional.

Spend your opinion any way you want, but You fail to recognize that mocking completely rational opinions outside of what fits in your narrative should be a little more embarrassing for you.

4 interviews on 4 different days. Just checked. 

Darn. I pictured all four candidates in a room together taking a written test.

Open to critiquing guesses?

Girardi?

Andy Green?

Matheny?

Bochy?

Bannister?

Ozzie Guillen?

Showalter?

Farrell?

Someone I missed?

No you said “all in agreement long ago” which is your personal speculation. YOU DID SAY THAT.

I said it would be disingenuous of Eppler to hire Ausmus in the first place if he was in the know about that plan. Oh well move on.

Please speculate what decision maker within the Angels organization would likely not be in agreement to be interested in Maddon over Ausmus if Maddon became available.

You seem to think I am saying they had a formal meeting about this as a condition of hiring Ausmus and I have never said anything like that.

Hey while you are at it, please list all the teams that would not admit they would ditch their center fielder they currently have under contract for Mike Trout if he became available.

I think Nightengale probably phrased that poorly.

You don’t say

He's a realatively connected source that never tweets Angels related stuff. So maybe.

I hope it's a 10 year deal just because I need some entertainment.

[Blarg]

I just hope he brings Mathis in as bench coach, just for the lols.

Eppler was once in New Mexico unaccounted for for more than an hour.  Area 51 is in New Mexico.  Arte is from Mexico.

You do the math.

Area 51 is in Nevada

Girardi? Reasonable

Andy Green? Reasonable but won’t be hired  

Matheny? Unlikely

Bannister? No

Ozzie Guillen? No

Showalter? Reasonable 

Farrell? Reasonable

Like all of you, I think they’re going to hire Maddon, so it’s hard to figure who would get these “formality” interviews. 

[totdprods]

Oh God could you imagine Showalter.

Don't worry... you'll get plenty of entertainment from the "Joe Maddon is the real GM" narrative that's coming...

Aren’t they obligated to interview at least one minority?

Along with the Maddon is fat jokes and the speculation that he has compromising photos of Arte or Billy.

They could interview you since your opinion is deeply, deeply in the minority.
