Arte fired the wrong guy

[Angelsjunky]

It is Perry Minasian, not Joe Maddon, who is responsible for the main sources of the Angels woes this year:

- A shitty bullpen. 

- No depth.

Perry's lone good move was Lorenzen. Syndergaard is ok, but an overpay. Raisel has blown some big saves. Loup, Tepera, Bradley are trash.

His solution to depth was Wade, Velazquez, Lagares, Mayfield, Duffy...most of these guys shouldn't even be bench players, but AAA depth, and all of them are getting way too much playing time.

So Arte, you fired the wrong guy. Perry Minasian is a shitty GM.

Are you saying Perry has done a good job?

If Eppler got to blow dick for 5 years it’s laughable to think Minasian should get fired after a year and a half

It’s just funny how many people were willing to put up with his losing but want to fire Minasian.  I don’t give a damn who the GM is because I don’t think it matters as long as Arte has a say in baseball operations but people need to be consistent here

No, of course not. I'm saying that Perry's GMing is more responsible for the state of the team than Maddon's managing.

Ok then I’ll go on record and say I’m not in favor of firing Minasian.

Are you ever in favor of firing anybody?  Maddon? Reed? Scioscia? Butcher?  Hatcher?

I was fine with firing Maddon, I was fine with firing Butcher (it had to be done), I would have no problem firing Reed, it makes since.  I wanted Hatcher fired.

Both deserved to be fired. Still, we aren't going anywhere with Arte, the sample size is large enough and he has no clue how to run a franchise.

He should get more time but what a error (as it turns out) not to solve the middle infield better as opposed to spending as much on the bullpen.  (But the bullpen may look better later in the year.)  Minasian must have known something was up with Fletcher, or should have just based on performance.

Because he has so many holes in his torso from stab wounds.

Yep he fucked up not acquiring a middle infielder for sure.

Minassian tried.  He totally tried.  And it should have worked out better.  But how many of you would get shit at work if you tried hard but still fucked up real bad?

@Taylor is that you?

Taylor would say that because he tried hard he should get a hug or some shit.  I’m still asking for accountability.  I’m just acknowledging that he at least attempted to do his job.  He just did it terribly.
