4th best offense in baseball by this.

 

24th best pitching staff in baseball.

 

So I mean, it's pretty obvious: Fire the hitting coach, keep the pitching coach.

Eppard must not be as close to Mike S as Butcher.

[Caralho]

Dino Ebel promoted to bench coach.

[SoWhat]

Vizquel better be promoted 

[fan_since79]

Can't wait until 2015.

[bloodbrother]

Dino Windmill Ebel is the new bench coach

This x1000

Dino Windmill Ebel is the new bench coach

 

At least he can't get base runners thrown out by 70 feet from there.

Neither of which has to do with coaching 

[tdawg87]

Jeremy Berg promoted to 3rd base coach.

This org is a ****ing joke 

[nate]

Lol, nothing changes with this org.  Promote a guy from 3b to bench coach.  Nothing will change, what a joke.

[Chuck]

Good. We can be done with it.

Now it's up to Dipoto to build the pitching staff.

[nate]

Neither of which has to do with coaching 

So... why have coaches then?

[Amazing Larry]

I'll always be a fan of the team and watch every game on TV, but I won't spend any money going to games until Scioscia is fired.  This level of failure would not be accepted by top class organizations like the Yankees, Red Sox, and Phillies or their fanbases.

They also didn't lock up their manager to a ridiculous contract.

Really? It has nothing to do with coaching?

[jshep]

Jeremy Berg promoted to 3rd base coach.

 

And hopefully the new hitting coach is Asian.

[Lifetime]

Care to elaborate?

 

AIR, you don't read much on here then cause Ebel is constantly complained about because of his boneheaded decisions sending guys home when they are dead in the water.

No, but you can. Just how did the beat writers get it right? 

[Halos of Anaheim]

Ebel & Pujols cost us at least 10 runs this year, if not more. One source of the problem is gone, now Pujols needs to learn not to run past 3 when he has the legs of an 80 year old women.

[Ohtaniland]

Arte blinked.

[fan_since79]

Good. We can be done with it.

Now it's up to Dipoto to build the pitching staff.

 

Hopefully not like he did last year.

[Hubs]

Hitting coach could be Wally Joyner

[Ohtaniland]

So all they have to do is play good baseball in August and September. OK GOT IT.

[Homebrewer]

What a limp #### organization.

"Well , we gotta fire someone here, so lets put names in a hat and see who is going and who is staying"

I'll be back when this long, bad, joke is finished being told.

[nate]

No, but you can. Just how did the beat writers get it right? 

 

They said that an announcement would be made on Dipoto/Sciosc one way or the other.

 

Blarg said that twitter is nonsense and that the beat writers don't know anything.
