...And if you vote the way Strad is asking, you get a treat.

Boch though I'm not convinced if you swap the two that the records of the teams are all that different

Bochy’s coaching staff is 1000x better than the Angels staff.

Will Venable (associate manager) is probably getting a gig as someone’s manager this offseason.

Donny Ecker (bench coach) is one of the smartest offensive minds in MLB.

Tim Hyers (hitting coach) was great for the Red Sox.

Mike Maddux (pitching coach) has been a pitching coach forever, coaxing good results.

Experienced and successful managers can get quality people to work under them. So can experienced and successful General Managers. Something that Arte obviously doesn't agree with me about. When it comes to hiring General Managers, his philosophy seems to be, the cheaper the better.

Why would Bochy be available?

[tomsred]

Rangers doing a grand job, as of tonight they are out of the division lead and out of a wild card spot.  Maybe the question should be who would we rather have, Nevin or Dusty Baker, or Scott Servais, LOL.

I’m surprised it’s only 91% Bochy right now. 

[Slegnaac]

Ron Washington wasn't an option

Obviously the Nevin Fan Club is boycotting the thread.

it looks to me like someone voted twice.

It’s time to admit they messed up firing Maddon.

Bochy, no question about it. He has a ton of experience and he holds feet to the fire. Players who don't perform up to snuff ride the pine -- or the bus back to the farm.

Yes that treat is not being mentally challenged.

It's a cultural organizational problem!

At this point it doesn't matter who the manager is.

Unless u get a personality who introduces a different way of playing baseball that permeates the organization as a whole.

Yeah, someone like Sosh!

Hate if u need to, but this organization had it's best years with Mike Scioscia at the helm.

Whatever they do this off-season…

Pump the d_mn brakes some on the analytics!

[ELEVEN]

Pubes.

[fan_since79]

I think Salmon might make a decent manager, or at least bench coach.

That's the problem. This organization has a losers mentality. It comes from the top on down. I don't see any available manager that is going to have the clout to change that. Bochy was probably the only one, and I have a feeling the only two jobs he would have come out of retirement for were the Astros, or Rangers jobs. Give Theo Epstein a blank contract to become Team President with full authority over baseball operations. I don't trust anyone else that's available to be able to deconstruct and completely rebuild this organization which is obviously what needs to be done at this point.

And if Moreno refuses to do that, then F U Chick Morono, the wannabe scout!!!!
