AP: Scioscia downplays rift with Dipoto

[Taylor]

I look forward to seeing what Dipoto can do with his pick as manager.

 

Chris Iannetta?

[Lou E Ville]

Have you guys ever heard of coachspeak?

 

Scioscia throws Dipoto under the bus = good luck finding a new GM who wants to come here and work with him

Scioscia says we are fine and on the same page = next GM Scioscia works with trusts him as they put a new team together, be it here or elsewhere

I think it is interesting that Scioscia is the only one talking about the rift.

 

Hatcher was such a well respected hitting coach that after he was fired, he was immediately offered a job with.......................

[2002_halos_II]

So there's a "rift"?

It's part of Scioscia's job to talk to the media before and after every game. The media asked him about the supposed rift. It's not like he called a press conference and wanted to talk about it. Dipoto and Moreno probably haven't been avail to the media since the articles about the rift was written.

Hatcher wasn't offered a position teaching hitting.... He's a "special assistant" , just like Tony Reagins still is for the Arte.

[mtangelsfan]

So he was offered a job?  

 

Thanks

Link?

You need to get over your hate of Scioscia.  His comments is to illustrate about the so called rift between Dipoto and Scioscia.  The story would be very shallow if no mention of Hatcher was brought up.

I don't have to "get over" anything. Am I alone in thinking Scioscia needs to be fired? Am I the only one stating that? By the way, I don't hate Scioscia. I think he's become a dinosaur that is no longer functioning effectively as a manager. That's quite different from hating. The world isn't black and white--love and hate. I can also certainly feel that way and express it here.

Good point-didn't think about that.

The Dodgers

 

Thanks....I did not know but figured someone in AW would.

[Ohtaniland]

Let's not forget when Dipoto sent Scioscia's boy Abreu packing and called up Mike Trout just a couple of days after Sosh said Trout would be staying in AAA.

[Lifetime]

LOL! Abreu wasn't Scioscia's boy. Way to try to make a mountain out of nothing as usual hamiltown.

[Mean Spirited]

The Dodgers

Hatcher's position was not renewed in 2013, according to Wikipedia.

[mtangelsfan]

Yeah, saw that.  Wonder what he is up to these days?

 

It was time for him to go when he did.

[AngelsAndRamsFan]

Hatcher's position was not renewed in 2013, according to Wikipedia.

That's correct.

Thanks

 

Oh please, you are not going to really go in this direction are you?

[Brian Ilten]

Technically, there has been enough written about Scioscia wanting Abreau just as much as Arte did that labeling Abreu "Scsiocia's Boy" is not a stretch.

 

 

BTW LT - I am figuring that 6mos after Scioscia is fired you are going to be stepping right into line with whoever the new manager is.

Well, yes actually.  It seems I already did so.

It takes one helluva ignoramus to even begin to pin the success of the Dodgers with the hiring of Hatcher as a special assistant to the GM.  But thanks for putting it in writing.

One thing I can usually count on you doing is taking the absolute lowest road.  Oh and also completely not getting the point of a post.

 

Congrats on keeping the dream alive!!!!!

Mickey Hatcher was offered a job as his son's little league coach.

 

Validation.
