Angels fire Billy Eppler

[Warfarin]

Yep.. the writing was on the wall.  

[Jay]

That didn't take long.

Gonna guess it'll be Dombrowski.  Arte will want to make a splash.  I hope Dombrowski is made President and hires a strong farm system builder from LA/TB, so that we could see a blend of approaches.

I would’ve brought him back but we’ll see how this turns out. I’m sure all of us have full faith in Arte to figure this out

[daygloman]

I'm not surprized. 

[Pancake Bear]

Arte can’t keep his mits out of interfering with everything. Doubt that’ll go over well with Dombrowski. Can’t see him coming unless Arte agrees to let him have control.

[Inside Pitch]

I dont hate Arte, I just have no faith in his ability to see the bigger picture.  

[Warfarin]

Apparently, Eppler was given a one-year extension in July.  WHOOPS, lol.

[bloodbrother]

No surprise here. Next up, hiring a name candidate like Dombrowski, and then we hope that the team can win a WS within the next 2 years before this team ends up back in the same position they found themselves in around 2015.

[Stradling]

If he was given an extension then they have someone in mind. 

[Angelsjunky]

See, I told you.

[ScottT]

That's odd. Kinda like Ausmus.  I bet Arte knows who he wants to be GM. 

[JAHV76]

Not surprised someone had to take the blame for losing the last five seasons.

What the heck? Arte is even more of a dolt than I thought he was. 

[kevinb]

He did some nice things. But never had a winning record and Arte spent a lot of money. The cupboard isn’t as bare as when he got here but he needed to do more. 5 straight losing seasons with the best player in baseball is plain unacceptable. Time for someone new. Hopefully they hire a president of baseball and GM but I don’t think that’s happening.

I can guess who that might be....If it is Dombrowski, get him in here quick...get to work...

Regardless of who it is, bring them in quickly.  If it doesn’t happen in the next week, I think we can assume it’s because he’s employed by a team still playing.

nice severance package.

[Second Base]

Arte gave him the chance. He had 5 years to build a winner, and he couldn't do it. He gave us a nice farm system, locked Trout up, and brought in Ohtani. 

Eppler is going to get another chance somewhere else and is going to do pretty well. If that dipshit Dipoto was given another shot, you know Billy will get one.

[aznhockeyguy]

Eppler inherited a mess and cleaned it up.  Now someone else will get credit for it.
